Sudhir,
I hope I prefaced all my replies on music with the necessary IMOs and I feels. I definitely do not stipulate that music must be composed in anyway, but I prefer - always have and always will - acoustic music and live recording. I am critical even of rAjA and his current obsession with tinny synth sounds. Adhu kAlathin kattAyam enRu ninaikkiREn. IR 90s'la vanthirunthA acoustic music, live recording ellAm paNNi iruppArA enbathu periya kELvi.

And I re-iterate what Sarna says above - ethukku mAraNum? Whatever I said was what I feel for rAjA's music. It is a result of the search for who I am. To paraphrase from GuNA and equanimus: "GnAnam enna bOthi maraththadiyilaya irukku, gnAnam manasula irukku" . I hope no one misconstrues my notes on music as an attempt at proselytizing. Just a reflection of what gave me succor at a time of need. IdhaithAn namma thalaivar 'vAnam enakkoru bOthi maram'-nu solli irukkAr
