There are many ways to ask a question during an interview!!!
I was reading the interview by Ramya Kannan with Rahman in "The Hindu" for his upcoming flood relief concert programme.

One particular question by Ramya was intriguing. Was this question really required? Is Rahman or Raaja responsible for writing the lyrics.
How important are lyrics to you?
Lyrics are very important to me, but they have to be interesting too. I believe that every word we say has magic, that sound has magic. I don’t like cursing, negative poetry and this I learnt from poets like Vaali. You should not write negative lyrics to attract attention, it affects people.
In light of the "Beep" song controversy, why didn't the Tamil TV reporter ask a similar question to Raaja during Ethiraj College function? Why should the reporter ask about the "Beep" song to Raaja? The reporter has deliberately decided to ask a "stupid" question to Raaja, knowing 100% that he is going to retort back harshly. I wonder if the same reporter would have asked the same question to Rahman.
