Raja_Fan, You should read Biographies of other great Composers, Artists etc. Mozart use to write letters to relatives, friends which will have foul words. Thats just one thing to say. He himself had said his life is not worth to follow, and not pure like his music.
Generally, the attributes you find in Raja which are disturbing atleast for you are,
the way he does self-praise(this is actually less, and he equally talks low profile things abt him. So this is balanced, i would say)
Other 2 striking things are
he doesn't say even simply good things and basic wishing words about other MDs, mostly of his and the next gen
he kinda doesn't care at all and look about the ppl who went away to other MDs or those who at times kind of insulted him
See, these 2 are purely professional, almost everybody has this. There is nothing to worry for general public. He treats even his kind of dumbest fan, nicely, when he talks in his concerts. He doesn't Discriminate btw his intelligent and dumb fans.
Above all, there are lot of good traits he has which other MDs not at all have. Neither in 80s 90s, where he did 50+ films per year, nor now, he doesn't asks extra comfort for composing sessions. Even now, most of his Salary goes to Recording and other technicians. Just compare the recent MDs who charge in Crores and at times, if the album flops, actually there is no way how the produces makes up with that loss! Raja has not let any producer in such a situation.
Though we all know, his speed also brings down the cost very much. He don't take too many days and thus in a way reducing the composing session costs.
Summed up very well. This is an impression lot of ppl have or feel about Raja but you have to understand he is an not spokesperson or diplomat, he is an artist. I love his chats/talks and his off tangent remarks. Very insightful. An explosion of experience. They express love for beauty, contempt for hypocrisy, search for truth, frustration with everything that spoils his beloved field and craft. Raja is bold not arrogant. He may seem tactless but it is an outpouring of his emotional intelligence. IMO, a wonderful artist.
Also, your strength is your weakness. If you separate an artist from his "troubles", paradoxical views and insecurities. You don't get art, you just get trouble. I will take Raja's straight forward, blunt remarks and talks anytime compared people who seem humble in front of you and talk bad behind your back.
One can always pick faults in a person. Raja stands for so many good things in life. He is sincere, focused, dedicated, passionate and has an insatiable thirst for knowledge, If I could only acquire one or two of qualities that would be great :)
SKV,
When consultants charge a bomb to give you advice. raja_fan is giving it free of cost !!! So no tension, be happy. We must acknowledge that people take time off from their busy schedule and come here to dispense with their advice. So we must all be thankful that Raja has such raja_fans!!! Instead of that why you getting tension !!!

Your thanks encourages me to condinue to stand apart from the coterie crowd and be a fan of IR ( of his music alone ) :)
MR,
It doesn't come across as gutsy.
It showed him as an arrogant person who can't even congratulate his colleague in his best moment.
அவருக்கு இதை மாதிரி பதில் சொல்லனும்ன்னு தோணினதே ஆச்சர்யமாவும், வருத்தமாவும் இருந்து!:twisted:
Idhellam edhukku namba ninaippu vaichukkanum?
Let us remember the good ones which are HIS MUSIC!
Vinatha,
If you look at it in another way, you may find Raja was very diplomatic. We fans itself felt that the GOI did a great injustice by clubbing them together. They should have waited atleast an year before giving it to Rahman. Who can say that Raja did not feel the same. If it was so, then the answer is fairly diplomatic isnt't it? Rather than saying why they gave him now? Personally I was happy with what Raja told. I was definitely not happy that Rahman was given the title the same year Raja was and would have been disappointed had Raja said anything else. So to each their own !!!
