பாட்டொன்று கேட்டேன்
BBCTamil.com had made a very good effort called 'பாட்டொன்று கேட்டேன்' http://www.bbc.co.uk/tamil/highlights/story/2004/08/040805_filmsongs.shtml. It is a 73 episode program which tells everything about Tamil film music. From Manmathaleelai to Manmatharasa. In these 73 episodes, 8 are for Ilayaraja, in that 8, Raaja speaks in 4 episodes.
It is again great to hear another interview from the man. One thing in the interview made a great impact on me. When asked about how he composes, he told, “Music is a happening, not a product”.
He told a little event that happened. Raaja was asked to judge some musical competition along with likes to T.K.Pattamal, M.S. Subbulakshmi, Semankudi Srinivasa Iyer, Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna. One singer sang a song. After that one judge asked the singer “who taught you this song”, he replies with some name. Then the judge asked, “Ok, what new thing you did in it”. It is the experience Raaja shared to us. Also, he said every musical piece should do something new and should not follow the usual pattern.
Why can’t we apply the same thing in whatever field we are working in? Particularly, Software engineers. Most of us fix the bugs created by some one else 100 years ago. Can’t we do some thing? This is the question raised after listening to his interview.
Not only Raaja’s songs interesting but also his speech. Listen from episodes 37 to 45. He speaks in last 4 episodes.

Between us
We meet lot of people daily. Some people we like very much, don’t we? We would like to talk with them and be with them. We could have met them only few times, but we feel like a child-hood friend
I used have this feeling with quite some people. I don’t want to talk much with them, but I want to be with them. I always push the relationship very hard with these sorts of people. Some people understand me and some won’t.
I have this habit of pushing the relationship to the limit, only because I fear that I will miss them if I didn’t push it. From child-hood I always been possessive and always gets what I want.
Sometimes this turns out into a negative manner and resulting in a relationship breakdown. I am too sensitive to handle all that.
We learn ever since we born in this World. So, I learned a lesson that it is completely wrong to push a relationship and it should grow at its own pace or die at its own rate.
So when I analyzed myself, I thought I should live by the following principle.
If you love someone, set them free
If they come back they are always yours – Richard Bach
