  Dear 'rajafan',
  "What's happening" is this::[I will say it for the 'n'th and last time!::
  TiS needs funds from fans and tamil lovers as IIR is not approaching corporates. True fans need to understand this very clearly. This is NOT like "Pithamagan" or "Virumandi" where the producer already pays IIR to make the songs. Here WE are the producers. As you all know, the budget for TiS is Rs. 5 crores. We have raised 50% of it but pl. understand that once IIR goes to Hungary, the product will come out in 45 days form that date. But, it also needs other contingencies like paying in hard cash to 200 artists ,paying the studio, organizing the final symphony recording, making the CD, IIR and the artists' stay for over 30 days in a foreign country etc which cannot be done thru credit cards and unless at least 80% of the money is already in hand, this can not be attempted. Hope you all understand this reality.
  Having said that, we are pleased to inform you all, that dates have been set for the project[hoping you all will give us the final big push] and as such, we assure you that the Cd will be released in April on the Tamil New years's day in USA. Please realize the magnitude of this project and how WE can make this happen! Do not hesitate even for a moment and send out that check of yours in favor of "TNF" by today--TODAY-- . You will not regret it and in fact, you will be telling your children how you were part of this "History-in-the-making" event! Please contact 919-460-9430, 732-236-1932 or 408-937-6008 asap. Mail your checks to Dr. v. sankarkumar, 1032, Copper Green st, Cary, Nc 27513.

  Fans are eager to know about the reason why IR is in USA. I wish SSS should have some decency to share the news, rather than just asking for fans to DONATE.

  Vikky,
  I am also a IR fan who is very much interested in TiS, and whole heartedly understand the efforts.
  That has nothing to do with the question I had asked, which is 'Update us on the latest developments', despite the fact that there has been some developments(assuming IR is in USA, and I am pretty sure SSS should be in touch with the developments)

  Have you never heard of fund raising dinners? People pay like $1000 or more to sit in the same hall with 300 other people and have a plate food with the President or someone like that.
  
  They do that not because they are crazy about being in the same room as the president, but because they want to support him.
  
  This is similar. Now, crawl back under your rock.

  mnt,
  what makes you think crawling creatures are 'inferior' than you? By any chance do you know the biology of such creatures? they are quite capable of living better than sick ones like you.
  
  you imbecile!!
  
  IR is far more superior than being a president or bill gates. he shouldn't be within the reach of common mongrel like you. That was my point.
  
  Your explanation is trivial. Don't expose your pea-brained knowledge with that.

  Hi SSS,
  
  The TiS site says:
  
  "We are planning a high profile - star studded release function in Chennai in the month of October. If you wish to attend, please let us know in advance. We will reserve a seat for you."
  
  "The release is now slated to be in the New Year. The reason is the massive logistical requirements in completing the work."
  
  It does not say anything about the year in which this is going to happen. There are so many contradictions in the official site with release both in October and January or April (which new year, tamil or english or chinese or ...???). Can anyone responsible update the site, so that people can get confidence that the inferred year is 2004? I am not doubting the release itself, I am doubting the year of release. Because many contributed money (that includes me) before the release, it is frustrating if less/no information is provided in the official site and even that information is a contradiction.
  
  Also, it would be helpful to provide some updates in the site (which is meant for information on TiS, now it seems like the last place to get valid information) rather than private forums. I dont think site update will take huge amounts of money and it looks pathetic for this kind of great effort from IR.
  
  If the dates are not sure, I think its better to keep quiet and tell the truth, rather than publicising unrealistic dates.

  Worst of all is that the first link provided in this thread provides a direct link to the section in question.
  
  Pathetic.

  Thiruvasakam in Symphony!
  I was wondering a few aspects about this musical project.
  
  Why it has to be a public funded project?
  Did the corporates say no to it, considering it will not be a commercial success.
  Okay, in that case why has Mr.Illayaraja has to involve public money, can't he make an album out of his own money, Sell the audio rights to big companies like Sony.
  When Rahman did Vande mataram he was backed by Bala and Kanika and later Sony got the rights for a huge price. Vande mataram was also an International project, its album was relesed in 26 countries.
  
  Isn't Mr.Illayaraja not sure about the quality of his output that he's worried he may not recover production costs of the album?
  May be they music company MD's knew his last product from Hungary was an ordinary thing like "Ramar analum Babbar Analum" so they didn't want to get involved in inception stages.
  
  It is strange when he can produce movies why cant he produce his own album? Or atleast co-produce it with Tamil maiyam?
  It's a novel thought to open a school of music but if the album doesn't sell well then how come he's going to generate the funds.
  There are only 47 donors in the list, why are his dear buddies name Kamal hassan and Bharatiraja missing on the list.
  
  Since the album is going to be produced in Hindi,English, Tamil and German, why has Mr.Illayaraja got to worry about the Sales? if he's sure he's gonna make something wonderful.
  Its very clear he wants minimum risk and he doesnt want to play with his own money.
  Is this a new way of doing business?
  
  Okay lets predict they are making some profits, will the website put its revenues from all sources like Concerts, Audio sales, Rights etc.
  They haven't mentioned anything about it, But why? If its a public project every single data has to be revealed.
  So we really will not know Whats Mr.Illayaraja's Salary from the profits.
  Whats excatly the financial role played by Tamil maiyam? are they going to have exclusive rights over the content or is it going to be shared by both Illayaraja and them, in any case Is Mr.Illayaraja paid an astromical salary from profits? or they are just paying the artists in hungary and Illayaraja is paid nothing.
  Wouldn't any man who wants to contribute to this project or the so called Open project know all these facts!
  
  My inference is - his dream would be accompolished - Making Thiruvasakam in Symphony, his personal monetary contribution is Zero, He has a chance to make profits, which will then be reused as funds for his music school.
  
  Risk Factor to Mr.Illayaraja - Zero.
  Profits - Yes.
  Laurels - Yes from making such projects and re-investing it in a school.
  Jeez, I haven't heard a better business venture than this in recent times!
