sathya, yes i did order thru the Flipkart link posted by AB in the previous page..thanks to him! apart from the fact that it took 10 days from the book release date to reach me, no issues (actually i think the courier guy botched it up, coz i got a call from flipkart enquiring whether i got the book, after which in 15 mins the courier guy called up and asked me to guide me to the address!). There's a cash on delivery option, so no worries.

LM, i've just been thru 20 pages or so, it's an out and out Q and A biography. as far as i read: some more details about his childhood; his days as a session musician with Ilayaraja and Raj Koti; how Roja happened; the new working style they adopted for RDB; inside stories on how songs like Mayya Mayya, Tere Bina, Paathshaala of RDB were born; and how mani sir gave him 2 weeks for 5 tunes for Bombay and at the end of 2 weeks, he only had the Bombay Theme to play for mani ratnam, and mani ratnam replied 'i want this, give me the tunes later!'. etc, etc...so far, most of which we know and a lot that we didn't know...interesting! 2 pages of pics of thalaivar and his wife at their home, him in off white kurta and she in white salwar, her adjusting his kurta buttons...superb! (i loved those pics coz that side of thalaivar isn't seen often...romaance mood

). many unseen pics, and for those who play music, the notes of Bombay Theme is there in the end.
