Plum,
Thanks for the kind words. It is already cold in Bangalore and neenga vera ... Anyway I would also like to give the 'Best Raja Fan of 2011 in Hub' to app_eng. What I have posted last year is nothing compared to what app_eng has been doing. And if I posting only once in a while blame it on my current work environment.
The runner up last year for 'Best Raja Fan' must be V_S.
The best Raja Fan debut : KV
Most enthusiastic new Raja Fan: Sunil_M88
I am sure most people will agree with me on this

Totally agree on the Raja Fan nominations, Suresh . And the answer to the question - it is, indeed, raagas? I must admit I was as surprised about the runner-up as I was confident about the winner. I knew you must have been the most posted in that thread but I didn't expect the margin, and I certainly didn't expect raagas to be runner-up. Hopefully this year, my thread will(telugu lyrics) will overtake all of you.

I am surprised myself because I thought I was the occassional visitor here!
Regarding telugu lyrics - it will be good to see that thread active but again, the posts will be limited because ultimately, there are just few albums of IR that had good telugu lyrics. Ofcourse, if you wish to rename that thread to "Telugu songs", I am sure we can discuss a lot more!
Just 7 notes behold a beauty of life...

No, Raagas. I don't want to dilute the quality of the thread by opening it up to all the songs. I want to specifically talk about good lyrics. I reckon there should atleast be 30-50 such songs and just hope that one or more of us gets the time to compile and discuss about those...

Some of my picks
Best Album : Sneha Veedu (Im picking this over SRR for the enjoyment and multiple times listening feel i got)
Best Song : Sri Rama Lera (Absolute magic happening by making the Pa as Sa and resulting in Vasantha from Pantuvarali)
Best Short Song : Kalaya Nijama (Without a shadow of a doubt - a stunner in Sallapam sung admirably by Tippu)
Best Melody : Kannai Padithen (soaked in honey)
Lines which made me go Wow : Bhavani Varugira (Ponnar Shankar) [Im referring to the portion from 01:35 where there is a sudden scale change - http://www.thiraipaadal.com/tpplayer...'&lang=en]
Best BGM Piece : Azhagarsamiyin Kuthirai Title song
Best Manda Pichifying song : Chandrabimbathin from Sneha Veedu (Im sure Suresh will agree with me , how much we tore apart our brain in trying to arrive at the Raga, also its my most listened to song in the year)
Most Underrated Song : Kaathiruppen from Sengaatha Bhoomiyile
Song with nice rhythm patterns : Chengathir Kaiyum from Sneha Veedu which seems to be based in Mishram (7 beat cycle)
Most Dedicated Fan : App for his amazing contribution in the Golden Era of Dr IR and Dr SPB thread. Also your memory of remembering all minute incidents was simply awesome.
Surely , this should be published as a book some day
Most Passionate Fan : V_S for his uninhibited passion in describing Maestro songs (Take a Bow Sir)
Best Raja Fan Debut : Kv
Most Enthusiastic Raja Fan : Sunil
Best write up of a Raja Song : Ada Machamulla from Chinna Veedu by V_S (Chance eh illa , IMO V_S had close competition from himself for Poomalaye , Oh Vasantha Raja) , Also a word of praise for Kv for coming up with an absolutely bewitching write up of the song Dhegam Pon Dhegam in the Erotic thread
Best Contribution Award : Suresh for unravelling some hidden treasure from Raja's 90's ouvere.
These are some of the categories i can think of at the moment.
