Hundreds of years ago, a man invented this magnificent musical instrument. Then, another man composed this wondrous piece of music. And now, here I am, witnessing this brilliant performance. Life is truly a miracle.

Ever wondered how this piece of music is an absolute conversation between a family of strings?
Amidst this 7:22-minute musical discussion, this specific segment makes it even more obvious that it's like a conversation between a strings family: son, elder son, mom and dad.
From 0:00 to 0:11, what the violin says, the viola, cello and double bass respond to in the same meter, each in their own voice. Then, from 0:11 to 0:19, the conversation gets more intense, shifting to a different meter. From 0:19 to 0:24, the exchanges get even shorter and more intense.
From 0:24 to 0:50, the conversation turns into a fugue, with each member of the string family repeating the same statement at their own intervals.
Thereafter, the solo violin stubbornly sticks to its own statement, while the other family members, after some reluctance, eventually come together and agree with it.
How To Name It? @Ilaiyaraaja sir.

Can a composer convert the tune of a jolly "teasing" song, in to a BGM that conveys the deep hurt resulting out of an unkind insult..?
#Ilaiyaraaja demonstrates it here..

Silence also speaks.
To understand silence the other side also needs to be Silent.

Meanwhile How illaiyaraja was treated by this media when he was awarded Padma Vibhushan
The "Dalit Outreach" headline controversy refers to a major media flashpoint in India involving The New Indian Express (TNIE).
Wow! Just wow! There's this term called "ஊடக சொகுசு" (media's pampering) that's used in TN's political discourse (popularised by the Onion Roast YT channel, if I'm not wrong). DMK does something objectionable - instant crucification by media. ADMK or TVK does the same - not a word about it.
In the IR vs. ARR greatness debate, ARR enjoys exactly that. இந்த மாதிரி எதையாவது ராஜா சொல்லியிருந்தா, கழுவுல ஏத்தாத குறையாக் குதறி வெச்சிருப்பாங்க.

இசை தெரியலனாலும் பரவாயில்ல… But இந்தப் பாட்டைக் கேட்கும்போது, அந்த இடம் வரும்போது நம்மை ஏதோ ஒன்று ஆட்டிப் படைக்குமே… இல்லையா? ❤️❤️
அதுதான்… இதைத்தான் Raaja’s Magic, Raaja’s Touch என்று சொல்வது!
அதுவும் ஒரே ஒரு பாடலில் மட்டும் அல்ல… ஒவ்வொரு பாடலிலும் ஏதோ ஒரு இடத்தில் நம்மை இப்படித் திகைக்க வைத்துவிடுகிறார்.
Wow! What a genius! ❤️

I want ARR to be interviewed by someone who knows the history of Tamil film music and ask him what he meant by "boring". Unfortunately, this is the exact attitude carried forward by his fans on twitter as well.
