IR News and Other Titbits Ver.2009

Plum,

If your statement is true, then it is most unfortunate and a grave insult to Ramana Maharishi and all the volumes that IR has been composing (Thiruvasagam etc), since the first quality that these Gurus and volumes teach us is kindness.

IR - he had no reason to take a swipe at ARR recently when he ridiculed his attribution of everything to GOD.
Now, he somehow created a controversy on Malayalam writer and also some Super/Supreme star crap.

I think he is a lone and barking nut, and perhaps all his yesteryear friends shun from him to escape from his bite.

His bark could be worser than his bite :) but your statement means that his bite is as powerful as his bark.

If only this guy had been a little courteous and less abrupt, we could have unearthed more gems from him !

vem - i think plum was/is being sarcastic in reply to kameshrathnam's posting - plum correct me if am wrong

all these things are unsubstantiated - if IR says story/script is the real hero, thats his perspective - if i were a composer i wud think along those lines as well - when are we going to get professional and shun away from these so-called super/supreme star images and get our cinema out of the rut that it is in ??

of the total no of movies made every year, how many of them are watchable from a story line point of view ?? perhaps IR was referring to that kind of a trend, where every kid wants to be a star without even thinking of how much effort/work perseverence is required to reach that status - its like kids in india wanting to become like sachin tendulkar, without even having a clue of how much effort sachin has put in all his career (spending 4-6 hrs on end, practising in the nets)

its this lack of discipline and work ethics that is characterising our so-called wannabe 'stars' in the making - I take IR's comments as indirectly referring to this trend

Guruji!! Inga irukkira gems counte catalogla innum varala...

Washing a complicated character like IR's laundry is of going to be zero use. We have to learn to look past the character of Raja and focus more on the gifts he has provided by using his talents. Ippadi panni irundhaa - appadi panni irundhaa kinda talks - Root cause analysis etc., are not applicable to even normal lesser talented mortals like us - Applying it to a genius can only demonstrate how STUPID and IDIOTIC we can get at times

Gandhi, periyaar, Rajaji ivanga maadhiri aatkal vaazhkayila kooda evvalavo asattu thanangal nirainju irukku. They are great because they do not cover these things with a blanket of political correctness and dishonesty. Atleast lets be happy that 'senility', , 'stupidity', arrogance, harsh words - whatever IR has - has never been a 'SECRET' - No intended dishonesty here. Idhukku Poai alattikkalaama?

Baby defends ONV

Education Minister M A Baby on Friday defended poet O N V Kurup against music maestro Ilayaraja’s criticism that ONV’s lyrics ‘Adiyushassandhya..’ in ‘Pazhassi Raja’ did not capture the desired mood.

“Vayalar, P Bhaskaran and ONV are poets who took Malayalam film songs to a higher level of creativity. Has Ilayaraja forgotten all that?’’ the Minister said.

Ilayaraja had criticised the lyrics during the audio release function for the film’s Tamil version the other day.

ithukku enna soluvanga? Thumbi vaa paatta pathi

Many a times IR has himself publically said MSV was an great inspiration for him. So he must have said the same during the interview, but the interview was totally on Thiruvasagam and IR so IR might have felt that may be, i reiterate may be, MSV may not be brought into the scene....i think its his own prerogative....

How many times MSV has told he was so inspired by his Seniors, he has respect for his seniors, i do agree. But how many times?

IR has respect for all his seniors, he has told this many on times on stage itself, that doesn't mean he should attribute all his success to his seniors and nothing to him.

He might have thought that Thiruvasagam work was his own creative process and hence he might have wanted to avoid others getting into it.

just my thoughts....

Plum,

Aaaaaaah. 'kelambitangaya kelambitanga'. That is how you must be feeling now that your sarcasm will become the matter for controversy. :lol:

Everyone wants to take anything written bad about Raja literally and jump into the advice giving bandwagon and accusing him of not being a good person and all other MDs as being angels.

Even in the current ONV based controversy that has erupted, as usual no one in the press writes the whole thing and highlight only what they want. According to the link that Flifo has posted, Raja has wondered how come ONV was not able to compose for the tune he set though he has composed so many times for tunes, the best being 'thumbi vaa'. This is very different from saying, 'Raja says ONV cannot compose for a tune!!!'. I guess similar thing happened during the Myskkin controversy earlier.

As Jai says, we atleast have one artist who speaks his mind unlike everyone else who is quite bland and politically correct.
