Topic started by NOV (@ 202.184.134.10) on Tue May 26 01:08:52 EDT 1998.
All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

Here is the excerpt from this afternoon's "Malay Mail"

Famous Indian composer Ilaiyaraja, who has composed 3,500 songs for 700 films, is launching his book Vazhi Thunai tommorow at Auditorium DBKL at 7.30 pm.
Works minister and MIC President Datuk Seri Dr. S. Samy Vellu is guest of honour.
The event is organised by Swaralayya Enterprise which promotes fine arts and literary works.
Ilaiyaraja learnt Carnatic and Western music and obtained his grade 8 in Trinity College of Music in London where he passed with flying colours and walked away with the gold medal.
Hailed as a maestro for his performance at the Royal Albert Hall in London with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, he has also been awarded a string of other titles.
He's a three-time recipient of India's National Award for Music in 1984, 1986 and 1988.
In 1994, Ilaiyaraja was confered honourary citizenship of Teanech Township by the Teanech in New Jersey, John Abraham.

  Whooey ! Whooey ! The developments on this thread have really taken me by amazement. Folks, I just got back after a couple of weeks, and my, my, look at what all have happened in the meantime !!!
  
  NOV, SSK Sir : That was a real class act on your part ! A message from the TFM Forum to none other than the Isai Gnani himself, in person ! Too good to be true... Looks like the reach of this forum is now spreading far and wide, and into the hearts of people we all admire and rave about.
  
  Three cheers to TFM !! Three cheers to the TFM DFers !!

  No, not yet. I don't think
  I will get it soon. Because
  I'm also interested in getting
  some tamil novels like 'Ponniyin
  selvan' etc. A friend of mine
  has gone to Chennai this summer,
  probably he will be back in July
  or August. I asked him whether
  he could bring the books for me
  here. He said he would try, if he
  can't, then I think I will ask
  my brother to send them in
  airmail.
  
  Has anyone read the book?
  Anytihng interesting?

  I read Ponniyin Selvan a long time back - when I was in school (1984-85 I think). The novel is in 5 parts - each part is 1000+ pages making it the most voluminous Tamil Novel. The whole novel will probably cost upwards of Rs.500. (Rs.1000 is more likely). I read the whole set in about a week - in my summer vacation - doing nothing else.
  It is a mega historical soap epic and I found it interesting at that time. I don't think I can read it now. Nowadays I read la.sa.rA.
  Kalki's novels are worth reading once.

  Today there was a 10 minute programme on 'IR's
  Function in Malaysia' in 'Nadasuara'. They showed
  several views of the audience. I was searching
  for NOV everywhere, but couldn't find him. How
  can I? avar mugam eppadi irukkum endru enakku
  eppadi theriyum? (This is really a very funny
  forum! All of us are friends, but we don't know
  each others' faces! :-))

  Keerthi, Oh No! I missed it :-( I was watching Nadasuara on every saturday(Jollu vittu konde) for the clippings of IR programme and I really got fed up and I decided to give up. Last week I terribly missed. Aiyo! Enna ippadi aagivittadhe. Keerthi record ethum seitheengala?? Oru Alppa aasai thaan. KR interview in Prime 12 on saturday also I missed. Did you watch that?
  
  NOV neenga ungalai TV-il parthukkondeergala??

  Senthil:
  
  I don't have a VCR. Otherwise I would have
  certainly recorded it. It's possible that
  NOV has recorded it (or, at least help you in
  getting a copy from the 'Nadasuara' people).
  But let me tell you one thing; that TV coverage
  was nothing compared to the excitement that
  NOV gave us all on that day! I am not joking.

  Sathya Keerthi Sir:
  You are right, eventhough i did not see the TV coverage i think NOV 's review gave us all the feeling of attending the function.
  Thank you NOV.

  You are right. I also watched the show on Nada saura and it was bland. Well.. I was also
  looking thru the fast changing scenes over the
  crowd for NOV. Letter-um kayyumaa yaaraavathu
  irukkaangalaa-nu paathen. Mhum.. no luck.
  NOV, did you watch it?
  
  Sree
  No replies. I think we should write a followup.
