An Appreciation not Recognition

Quote:

Music maestro Ilayaraja, who has been selected for the Padma Bhushan award, today described it as an "appreciation" and not a recognition.

"It is not a recognition, but an appreciation. An appreciation to encourage artists to produce more," a smiling Ilayaraja told reporters at his residence.

The 66-year-old music director, who recently scored music for Amitabh Bachchan starrer 'Paa', refused to comment on fellow music director and double Oscar-winner A R Rahman also being chosen for the honour.

Dont know how this is going to be blown out now :x

When asked whether there was any preference accorded to North Indian professionals while announcing such awards, Ilayarja shot back saying, "ask this question to politicians, not me."

:lol:

On director Bala winning the National award for Best Director for his film "Naan Kadavul" (2008), Ilayaraja, who had scored music for the movie, said not all (directors) can attempt (such a subject).

Nandha is not musically close to other Bala+IR films. But as Bala said this movie is not dark movie, a movie to youngsters. Paarkalam

Even now I dont blame central Govt.I think its the state govt which nominates names for the respective awards..isnt it?

Absolutely. We all understand how govt machinery works. Ever tried getting any work or registration done at a Municipal office? Or any govt. office. Govt. offices (be it even a small ration shop to passport office to just any office) in India are notorious for lazy and slow work. Privatisation has induced some competency and something like a Telephone dept has improved a bit.But generally, we all know how the govt. machinery works. The same applies to even these committees set up for these stuff. Art and Cultural affairs etc. wonder if really do any work at all.If we, at a common man's level, know how govt. machinery works at a local office, then we should also realize that something similar happens even at slightly higher level..say macrolevel.

I agree that if IR did not get recognition earlier, it is because of carelessness of state govt. I dont know if it was politically motivated,since i am not aware of TN politics and the issues of 80s and 90s.thats why i cant say that it is willful, but i think that it is their carelessness/laziness to do their jobs sincerely.

Since AR Rahman is one of the awardees as well a question about how he felt was posed to the veteran. Responding to it he replied “Why should I feel anything for him? That’s something you should ask him. I feel only for myself."

---

ouch :lol: ......most probably he meant, how would i measure that feeling on behalf of him, its something his....

On the other hand AR Rahman was more cool and relaxed. “I’ m overwhelmed that I have received the honour at the same time that Raja sir has got it. It is a great personal statement for me . He has played for my father Sekhar and I have played under Raja sir. It is a family thing for me.”
