Even thats fine. Just want to know what was the interaction about.

If I meet IR I wanted to ask him one thing. Did he ever sang any song for his kids/grand kids to put them on to sleep. If so, which one (Kannae kalaimaanae or thenpaandi cheemayilae or some araariro song or some lullaby that he didnt release yet

I dunno whether he sang lullaby for his grand childrenor not but I read in singer chitra's interview that she took her kid when she was 1 month old to ilaiyaraja's home to get his blessing. He placed her on the piano and played some tune for her.

Worth more than the lullaby. Definitely lucky & blessed kid.

Hello Sivakumaran,

You have started the thread, but we are yet to get the details of your meeting with IR !

Sorry if this deviates from the actual post.

Swathy, njv :
Regarding that lullaby for Chitra's kid, I still remember the words from her interview in Vikatan. Chitra is blessed with a daughter after 16 years of marriage and she mentions that after her birth, she took her out only on 2 occasions, once to Guruvayur and the other to IR to seek his blessings.

It seems IR placed the baby on the piano and played a tune. According to the interview, Chitra said "Ivalukku (daughter) kushi thaangala, enakku kannula thanni vandhiduchu". The emotion was understandable - right?

I have read somewhere that IR sings his very favourite song "janani janani" to his grandchildren
