[rajaramsgi]

Thank you Suga for posting this photo, which means a lot to many people here than your beautiful writing, you are a ilakiyavadhi anyways, you know how to make your thoughts come to words and you are doing it great.

Viji Manuel - (Standing 2nd from the left, next to the jolna pai kaarar)
Jaycha - percursionist, standing 5th from the back with the hippi hair style
Purushothaman - Standing with breard and cooling glass
Sundarrajan (*not sure) - standing with his hand touching the chair on which Raja sir is seated.
Sudhakar (*not sure) - standing between Raja Sir and RD Burman. with a Black and white stripped Tshirt
V.S Narashiman (*not sure)- sitting left to Raja Sir

*not sure - they all look different now. can't confirm.

Do you know others? share with us please. I guess this photo must have been taken when RD.Burman came to chennai to record Poo Mazhai Pozhiyudhu songs (remember the famous nadhiya nadhiya nile nadhiya song) somewhere between 1986 and 1987

Note: Raja sir is not in his traditional white shoes. Also check the pant and shirt, idhuvum nalla thaan irukku.
