Hey Ram-la IR-oda interview-va? Enna sonnar? Sariya gnabagam illai - but what I rememberr from it is an enthusiasm to describe in detail the process by which he arrived at the final score - and his joy at the discovery of this music in him. Ennale dhaan mudiyumnu arrogant-a sonna gnabagam illaye...
1) During Heyram interview , he mentioned that this is the first time it has happened in indian film industry and he is the pioneer for it .Quote:

I ahve seen contrasting statements from abt his own music , which matches with great artists in different mindsets !

Vysar, Learn to interpret in a correct way more importantly never in your own way. You are just disgracing yourself.
Shall we fall back from our distraction to discuss only about IR's new albums please! How often we chew the same stuff by grinding it back and forth like a 4 stomached cow.
Let's learn to move on guys!
IR's personality is one of the most confusing/ complicated ones (going by his interviews, books and speeches) - my understanding is that IR gives statements based on what he perceives/understands is the motive behind the interviewer's questions!
If IR gets even the slightest indication/feeling that someone is asking questions to either provoke him with a controversial answer, take him for a ride, or show him in bad light, then the interviewer had it - the answer will be blunt, straightforward, like a slap-on-the-face!
I remember a DoorDharshan interview sometime in the early 1990s, when IR was happily answering questions, until the interviewer asked something he shd not have - it went something like "you are from a village(pattikkaadu), how do you manage to compose music that fits the urban mindset/requirement ?" - tat obviously ticked off IR and he replied "is being from a village inferior ? i dont like the tone of your language (unga tone sari illai)" or something like that - tat was in an interview with millions of ppl watching it in their homes!! the guy realized the politically incorrect question he had asked too late to even apologize or go back and rephrase his question
am sure that mediapersons must have ticked off IR in similar fashion and hence he avoids them like plague. And even when he does answer questions, he carefully avoids direct remarks about anyone/anything, unless and until prompted by the interviewer with an obvious ill-intent and then he has to face IR's verbal 'music'!!
If a truely music-knowledgeable person approaches IR with a sincere attitude and poses questions, IR wud be equally sincere - or even if that some1 does not have anything to do with music, if he/she approaches IR with sincerity, am sure he wud deal with them amicably- vambu, vidhandaavaadham, appadeennu alaiyaravangalai IR ignores them - I see nothing wrong with it!
having said all this, let me imagine a hypothetical situation of IR being nominated for the Oscars - and the jury asks IR some questions about his music/the techniques he employs and our man, depending on his perception of the jury's intentions wud either reply positively, or simply tell them "oru paravai parakkumbodhu, adhu siragai evvaru viruthhu parandhadhu endru kettal, paravai yenna sollum ? adhu pol thaan en isaiyum" or something similar and the jury wud be left scratching their heads!

Bala, I have seen them but i feel that he is not that arrogant as perceived. He is one who mentioned he is just doing whatever crumbs left behind by thyagaraja and bach before. I do understand his scientific/philosophic view of music is a nightmare for the media which is given to us in a arrogant way.
"1) During Heyram interview , he mentioned that this is the first time it has happened in indian film industry and he is the pioneer for it . "
Enakku therinju, he used the phrase "Enakku therinju" before saying this. Illainaalu, this might well be a statement of fact.
This is really shocking :shock:

BM was responsible for giving away the National award to Rahman instead of Raaja.Quote:
As expected, the actual purpose of the event was rather eclipsed by the joy that was brought by Rahman’s double Oscar victory. Speaking at the function, Balu Mahendra reminisced about the first steps of Rahman into the music world. He recalled that he was the chairman of the jury deciding the National Awards in the year when both Roja and Devar Magan were released. He was in mental turmoil when both the movies were neck to neck when it came to the award for best music. Since he was a very close friend of Ilayaraja, he decided to stay away from the jury because he felt that his friendship might prevent him from making the right decision. But as fate would have it, the ballot by the rest of the jury turned out to be a deadlock and it was up to the chairman to bring in his casting ballot. It was a tough decision to make, but he put his trust in God and cast the vote in favor Rahman, hoping to spur the young man on to greater heights. Today, he said, that his 16 year old decision stood vindicated.
At first I was digusted at the 'Karugaalithanam' of BM... Few seconds later it gives me immense pleasure to understand him - What a noble gesture by Balu Mahendra! he should have known DM was musically superior to Roja (Apart from the friendship with Raaja) and still gave away the award :thumbsup:
...and Raaja had maintained his friendship with BM till date shows the amount of maturity he has and the degree of importance to an award he gives.
This adds on to my respect over Raaja and shows what his fans should take from his life. What I said yesterday is validated now 'Its afterall an award'. So stop whining kids and move on... :)
