  The lines are taken from a kavithai Raja had written
  in his diary about his aathmaarthamaana natpu with his
  harmonium.

  chumma DUMEEL deal.
  Raaja avar harmoniyam meethu konda kaathalai
  kavithayAki (I couldn't read more than 3 para -
  totally there are close to 20 paras) diaril
  eluthi irukAr. OK, avaroda personal feeling-i
  etho avruku vantha kavitha-il eluthi irukAr.
  
  But the worst JAALRA part is that MU. METHA happened to read those kavithais and completely
  touched by that and told Kumudam about that.
  
  Instead MU.ME would have written some interesting
  episode which he had with Raaja.
  
  In the same kumudam there was one more news:
  Ilaiya Raajavirku uthavinaar AR.Rahman.
  athu enna newsnA:
  when cine music artists were on strike, years back, IR decided to goahead and make the whole
  song in the computer for "Punnagai Mannan".
  After IR wrote the notes, it was ARR (who was
  working under IR) who key-ed in the notes to
  synthesizer and played the song.
  
  again this week kumudam had an article with
  pictures of ARR and IR - I skipped thru it
  in the bathroom (pusthagam illamal waste-pa) -
  It is about new "pop-rock-jazz-combo" yongsters
  group making individual pop albums. This is
  called "Dance Party" the group is made of isai
  varisukal (spb son, malasiya vasu son,...).
  They were saying how IR and ARR have influenced them....
  
  Lately there is a whole bunch of TV ads. about this "Dance Party" by Magana Sound..
  
  Anthak kaalathu Cylon style pop song "En chinna maamiyE un chinna magalengE" maathiri padalgal.

  The Hindu had an interview with ARRahman.
  
  Adhula oru kelvi:
  
  ----------------
  Q: Can you tell something about your contribution for Illaiyaraaja's score in ``Punnagai Mannan.''
  
  ARR: I was only an operator and not a composer. When I first bought the computer, Illaiyaraaja called me and we had lots of work
  sessions. He composed the song and I programmed it.

  sincs Gopal asked for the details about IR's kavithai about his harmoniyum, I have typed
  some of it (not the complete 4 pages) in Tamil with MURASU. If anybody interested in it, send me
  a mail I will send you the doc(which also includes my comments).
