This is what these interviews are supposed to be... get something new from IR, inspire him and get him to be spontaneous... very enjoyable.

Aug 15 2013 - If you have not seen today's DD where they telecast musical discussion with Raja, TVG, mridhangam player Arun Prakash [ I vaguely remember a couple of his posts in TFMPage during ULiyin Oasai" times. But Iam not too sure if they are the same ], and the ever present Mano , you have missed a fantabulous session with Raja big time. Hurry up and grab the youtube links of the DD programme from hyper[linked]active youthu like SKV and get saaba vimOchanam.
Being a DD programme and having a carnatic music doyen and legend like TVG who is Raja's Guru, the session seemed to revolve around classical raagas used by Raja. I could watch only from the middle, Hamsadhwani in "Mayile mayile". I think there was some recap about the composition of the kannada evergreen "jotheyalli" before that. Then Raja recalled how he got motivated by TVG constantly humming a ThyagarAja kruthi in Bilahari and came up with the classic in Raja's own stamp, "koondhalilE mEgam vandhu". Raja was also showering his appreciation on KaNNadAsan who could on the spot come up with the poetic lines that followed the long, short phrases and the tumbling fall like flow in the pallavi tune. This was the first of the last 3 songs penned by him. Raja was at home and ease with musicians and the session was music focussed. Compare this with the apparent discomfort with sycophant kodambAkkam gumbal and gnyAna shoonya media/press who conduct interview session with him.
Here you go.. though they have recorded it, blessed is the person who thought of doing this at least

தான் ஈடுபடும் கலையிலேயே தனக்கு ஒரு நல்ல சீடர் அமைவது குருவுக்கே பெருமை. அந்த வகையில் நமது பாரம்பர்ய இசையின் தொடர் சங்கிலியின் கடைசி முடிச்சியாக திகழும் இளையராஜா என்ற சீடரை பெற்ற மெல்லிசை மன்னர் புண்ணியம் செய்தவர். தமிழ்த் திரையுல இசை சாம்ராஜ்யத்தின் மிக முக்கிய நிகழ்வாக, மெல்லிசை மன்னரும், இசை ஞானியும் இணைந்து பணியாற்றிய இசைப் பிரவாகத்தினை கருதுகிறேன்.
இறுதி அஞ்சலி உரையில் கூட, எல்லாரும் சொல்ல மறந்த ஒன்றை முக்கியப்படுத்தி சொன்னார் இளையராஜா. அதுதான் திராவிட கழக வளர்ச்சிக்கு மெல்லிசை மன்னரின் பங்கு.
