thiruvasakam in symphony

am i IR in disguise? thanks for the compliment. but will defer the opportunity to rotfl this round. one more chance for you to humour me?

"I am even beginning to suspect if the letter that is supposed to have come from Fr Gaspar to Yahoo Groups is a hoax. '
vijayr says,
'and I am beginning to suspect that you are probably IR in disguise. I havent seen any evidence to the contrary yet.'

Vijayr, that was a good one!! manasu kashtathileyum, your post made me laugh!! thanks, You are always very impressive!! :D

rajasaranam..you call a spade a spade. It really boggles my mind, how IR, had the tracks, while TM was paying for everything. It looks, the kind Father, would dip into the pocket and hand the dough to IR to give it to the studio folks..hmm..sad sad ..sad.
Any of you guys want to join the yahoo groups, I started. Lets see what we can do about this.. even non-confrontationally..in a nice way. Merry Christmas Father :-(

I have to make my own comments on this whole issue , my silence was not intentional time kidaikkale avvalo daan,
I sensed a different tone in TISK's post few months ago, I almost decided to post my comment about it in the thread, but finally sent him a PM, now it's time to post it

I originally wanted to post this in the thread,

TISK,
A request,please read my post carefully, and any words in this post is not to create any controversies. It looks like you are very very upset ( I may be wrong and I wish I am wrong about presuming that) about the fact that the recognition of TIS_USA contribution to this monumental project is very much underplayed and it is probably true and I agree.

A few thoughts/comments, with whatever brief interactions/conversations/emails I have had with you, I probably know very little of your enormous , selfless efforts at every stage of this project, which amazed me then, amazes me now and forever, for one reason during the last two years u have not thought anything but seeing this project see the limelight sacrificing ur precious time and personal committments just for this one thing and I have repeatedly mentioned this thread about that. Thops and probably many others around u know better about ur enthusiasm,efforts.
But I always think that you have and will have special place forever for the mere association with this project in the history which I am sure u will cherish forever.

I am sure u never ever thought of recognition before u first started involving with this historical project ( if I didn't put my words properly please excuse me), as not one single post of urs in this thread ever ended without YIA!!, many have asked the meaning for this also (I am not a spiritual person, may be one day I will lead that path with Maestro's music), your involvement above ur personal committments in this materialistic world for this project is beyond recognition and perhaps for a devine cause and a devine reason as u always say YIA. I am not writing this for consolation, it pained me a bit to see ur genuine concerns after all these efforts and when actually the project is finally in everybody's hands (A person who is seen so energetic,jubilant even in SS' chandramukhi thread often,)

I hope I haven't hurt ur or anyone else's feeling with my above post

Thanks once again
( listening to "Pollavinayaen' right now and waiting for IR's "Namashivaya Vaazhga" line before "Maasattra sodhi" to squeeze the life out of my body everytime, like unplugging a massive robust machine from a power source with just 1 button in the flick of a second..Oh my God..... we need more and more Maestro despite this)

Dear Dr.,
Thank you so much for your kind words. If by any means it sounded to be that I was personally upset of this lack of recognition, I want to set it right that it never was and is my intention. Otherwise, I would have involved myself in the contract and other things but my hurt was actually for the scores of selfless and faithful fans like you and so many others who readily came up to make this happen and when in one sweep, the whole thing has been swept aside, I was slightly hurt and that outburst was the result of that! But, I assure you that my respect and regard for this Great Man hasn't dwindled at all and I promise you that I will never do anything to hurt this project.
I will be more careful and be more restrained here after. After all, as you had rightly said, it is YIA! and who am I and where is my 'hurt'! Thank you so much for your kind words again!
YIA!!

I got associated with this project initially thro' Yahoo group Vijay before TIS-USA existed, infact, I sent my initial check addressed to MSK ( if I am not wrong, I think probably MSK volunteered as a Liason between Yahoo IR group and Donation from IR fans from USA, ) MSK, Meenakshi Sundaram Krishnaswamy , neenga illanna please forgive me. My better association with the project came when I missed IR's USA initial NJ fundraising visit, and in May 2005 thro TISK, I with NY Tamil Sangam were able to arrange NY fund raising event,

follows in next post

Kavin, Can you wait for IR yahoo group Dr.Vijay to post to the group this letter before continuing further? that's a wise thing to do!!

sure, will wait

guys there is nothing to talk abt it any more. why waste your time on IR/TIS. just forget it. Let IR score music for kooduvancheriyil oru appansamy and the like. lets get back to our normal life and forget IR and TIS and if possible all IR's 30 years of music.

"he didn't go around giving speeches asking for funds. from what i recall there is one supposed speech in US when he spoke about wanting to compose thiruvasagam. "

you are misinformed. There were atleast couple of speeches, audio clips were uploaded here. He also gave the reason as to why he wanted everyone to donate in response to a question from the audience - he said it was akin to building a temple.

"but the tool cannot claim that the statue belongs to the tool."

"but the tool cannot claim that the statue belongs to the tool."

what crap is this? When did TM say that TIS was its product? all its asking for is a fair treatment. Your so-called analogies are way off the mark including this sculptor-tool thing.

Dear Mr. 'vijayr',
It is better to leave Mr.'kavin'to live in his imaginary world. Please don't disturb him nor rebutt his desertations. We are not here to convince anyone. As Fr.had said 'there will be protogonists and antogonists and each one is entitled to deduce the truth as they see it.

All along, people were asking for 3 people to speak up [Tisk, IIR and Fr.J]. 2 have spoken. I thank Fr. for respecting my request and responding as he saw it.

I have nothing more to say.

Let's move on.
After all, There is ONE watching all these.

YIA!
