hey no! no offence taken at all!

a non tamilian like me has to hang around the hub because of Ilaiyaraaja's music! and I am quite notorious here people got used to me... and they even oblige my translating some important information, for me!

சில வருடங்களுகு முன், ராஜா டிசம்பர் சீஸனில் ஒரு மேடைக்கச்சேரி செய்தார் இல்லையா, அது பற்றி யாரிடமாவது தகவல் உள்ளதா, யூட்யூப் வீடியோ ஏதேனும்?!?

skr, You made my day by posting Prasanth's experience with Maestro. Thanks a lot! I will take away this whole interaction. Goosebumps on the writing the score at ligtning fast and tells 'my mind acts faster than writing'. Listening to tchaikovsky while driving home, as expected. Always on praise on Bachs and Brahms. I don't think I can interact with him even if I see him personally, I can feel the power in him just reading this. Only musical Genius India has ever produced IMHO.
