  Friends,
  Shouldn't it be Raajangham instead of Raajangahm? Please clarify!
  Yours Always,
  Vijay.

  Arul and others: The site looked good before you took the links down :-)). If you'd like an honest opinion, I think the domain name is kind of odd. Especially if the intent is to spread IR's music to non-Tamils. Even I have trouble remembering something like Raajangahm, I have no idea where the two a's go, and why the h follows the a (gahm). Almost feels like you chose the name and then fit the acronym to it.
  
  With so many websites around, a good name is the first step to get more traffic. Something like officialir, or irfanspage etc. would have served your purpose better (IMO).
  
  Good luck in your endeavours!!

  We could get other domains like ilayaraaja.com and map it to the same site. This also means we could get rajangahm.com and do the mapping. The implications are we have to pay more per annum domain charges. I think that should be okay if we can get advt revenue from audio companies.

  good idea, kiru...though ilayaraja.com is already gone check it out :-)

  Wishing you the best!!!
  
  I saw that the letterhead said "Ilaiyaraaja" ! If thats how he spells it, then what about Ilaiyaraaja.com?
  
  
• From: kk (@ bbndrel5.net.external.hp.com) on: Thu Feb 24 00:39:40 EST 2000
  
  why not ask this guy to sell the domain name?
  
  
• From: kk (@ bbndrel5.net.external.hp.com) on: Thu Feb 24 02:57:29 EST 2000
  
  To my surprise this guy owning the domain is ready to give it away to proper authorities. So why not have dual domain name?
  
  His reply...
  >it is nice to rcv ur mail.
  >Even I do not know about u, I really appreciate ur effort for informing
  >this. I actually did not register and do this site intentionally to sell
  >this off

  >As my name indicates and I am a fan of him and I am into the web

  enna arul,
  i guess IR is already part of the project, sariya?:-))

  Great work guys. Do keep all of us (diehard IR fans) updated of things.
  
  
• From: Neels (@ 202.54.125.205) on: Thu Feb 24 13:36:56 EST 2000
  
  I agree that the name should not be so complicated since the goal is to take the master composer out of the confinement of South Indian Film Music and create awareness amongst other communities globally. I'm glad this gentleman, the owner of ilayaraja.com has agreed to lend his domain name.
  
  I visited the site http://www.raajangahm.com and have the following suggestion to make:
  I feel the design could do with some improvement, considering this is an official site.
  I am a visual designer myself and would love to contribute to the site in any which way I can, (should you require it;)
  
  And TFM has a whole lot of valuable information, especially the fans' point of view and I urge the creators of this site to go through the same before structuring their site.
  In addition, there are sites maintained by a whole lot of dedicated IR fans that have interesting content and are extremely popular with Net buffs.
  
  There are ideas blossomming like Suresh Purushottaman's IR collective (refer to the following URL)
  http://members.tripod.com/~suresh98/IRC/retro.html
  
  I wishfully wish that the official site (hopefully Ilayaraja.com)facilitates the long-awaited direct interaction between the fans and the Maestro himself.
  
  Neels

  hi shibu,
  
  thanks for taking the initiative to let people know that the site is up.
  
  friends,
  
  it's not "my" effort. the concept of RaajaNGAHM originated with gopal prasad; madhan's relentless efforts and my "managerial" skills (if any :-) ) coupled with "expert advice" from people who are involved in activities of larger scales, like MSK, and all kind of support from people like Shree, gOkul, et al.
  
  we will constantly be updating the site; so please send us your comments and suggestions (people who wrote to us would find that some of their suggestions were given their due respect :-) ).
  
  a good news to all music lovers and ir fans in particular is that, ir is planning to release more non-film albums from this summer. we will place the samples of all his productions in site as "sneak previews". so keep visiting us for surprises :-))
  
  
  thanks for your continued support.

  Aha... , how can you miss this
  
  "composed the first ever symphony based BGM for an Indian movie ...".
  
  In fact rephrase the title awards to awards and achievements and have this mentioned there.
