YIA!!

TISK - one sincere suggestion - OUTLOOKINDIA is a terrific magazine with high profile readership all over the world - why don't you please release a press statement (say, a one page article) on TIS through OUTLOOKINDIA ?

www.outlookindia.org

I will do so. I am sending your mail to Fr. right now. Thanks.
YIA!!

Sorry for my ignorance... what is TIS and how is TISK involved?

TIS - Thiruvasakam In Symphony (Now name changed to Thiruvasakam by Ilayaraja as the album is in oratario format and not symphony)

TISK - group of organizers, represented by Dr Sankar Kumar, I think...

Thank you, app_engine! Long time , no see!
:-)
YIA!!

[btw, YIA = yellaam iRaivan aruL!!]

You're welcome, TISK:-)

TISK - I have other suggestions as well :

we shud try for a feature, at least a small clipping in the Arts Section of TIME magazine - that will do wonders

though I am not a big fan of Times OF India, I think TOI should carry a special Sunday Feature on TIS and also on IR's legend(!) - TOI is the most sought after paper throughout India and it will do wonders for the album's marketing - special mention on the English and the proposed Hindi version of the album could be made in that article

The Poetry Society of UK and the Arts Council of UK (the latter already know of IR's genius - 3 years ago I had contacted them and requested if they could do a project with IR, say, setting to tune/music William Wordsworth's, or Emerson's or Keats' poetry in symphonic format! - they said they were quite aware of IR's reputation and would be honored to work with him!) also be contacted and given publicity about TIS -

I remember the Arts Council of UK putting up Sempulappeyaninaar's poem "YAADHUM YAADHUM YAAYAAGIYARO, VENDHAYYA NUDHAYYA ...... IRANDARATHHAAN KALANDHANAVAEY" on the walls of underground tube stations in the UK! perhaps they can put up verses from Tiruvasakam (and the English translation beneath the same) followed by a caption "the immortal poetry now in Western classical musical format - Courtesy Maestro.Ilaiyaraaja!!

will give you Arts Council's links shortly

Dear Friends,

I think Time magazine should have the clippings. Times of India had already written a lot of articles on IR.

Once they'd written a big article on IR and his awards & reputation. People like Sarath Kumar, KS Ravikumar, Karthik Raja, Harris Jayaraj etc had commented on him.

Then, when Pithamagan came, there was a wonderfull article in Bangalore Times on IR's music only.

When Virumaandi came in Telugu also, IR was in the news. Regarding Tiruvasagam I think the Hindu is following up.

With love
Irfan
