Folks

Some time back i blogged about one Suresh Kumar.

Well the update is, blogosphere’s very own Ramya
has written an article in HINDU about the plight of Suresh and the way his friends have rallied behind him in this hour of crisis.

I am especially thrilled that I spoke to two great guys Alaap and Muthu. I did refer one of my relatives to Alaap for sponsorhsip but that turned out to be a damp squib.
Relatives….the less said the better:)

Madras makkale if you are free tommorow, make it to Don Bosco auditorium, Egmore.

Note:
i fiddled with the comments settings y’day and apparently had goofed up on something which made commenting impossible. I have rectified that now. Thanks to ioiio for informing me.

This dawned on me as i was listening to Raaga.com’s non-stop AR Rahman channel. While I consider IR to be the Don, God or whatever of tamil music, I also have to admit one thing. The person with the least number of trash songs is Rahman and this is by quite a distance. This has been told to me N number of times by my friend Madhu but I did not realise till date.

In a period ranging from Roja to the very latest Bose, I do not find anything which made me stop the music. The songs are at the minimum passable, if not hummable. Salutes to Rahman’s hardwork and consistency.

I remember Mani Ratnam mentioning in an interview about his priorities “First of all, as a creator, I should not feel bad about my work. After some years I should not feel like ‘Why did i ever make such a movie?’”. Quite a benchmark that.
And now after listening to Rahman, i could appreciate that statement even more.
