Dear Friends,

Let us vote for 'Adi Rakkamma' from THALAPATHI as our choice for the World's Top Ten Songs poll conducted by BBC!

I am suggesting this song because if in case the BBC people listen to the nominated songs, they will feel knocked out on hearing our Maestro's 150 Vioins' Strings Ensemble!

Let us all do it at:

Yours Always Musically,
Vijay.

  Vel
  
  Just a moment!Let me list out my doubts,try if u can answer and as i had already suggested the Tec guys and Admin should unmask this IP.
  
  First of all that post was not in response to any post from any IR fan
  
  A post like this is going to create havoc and the person must be fully aware of its aftermath.
  
  Posting in multiple threads -well that is another idea to spread the hatred faster.
  
  Singling out Ambleen - LEave alone HR fans will the HCIRF accept Ambleen as their representative?I doubt.So this makes Shanmugham s identity more intriguing.
  
  Shanmugham appears all of a sudden without any earlier messages and disappears.(To his credit Ambleen despite the quality of his posts has kept his ID and IP constant.He has not tried to misguide people about his identity.)
  
  I request Admin to post the location of this IP on the front page and expose this Shanmugham.
  
  I remember in the Govind Nihalani s serial "Tamas" how the seeds of communal violence are sown.The bad element simple kills a pig and a cow puts the dead ones in moslem and Hindu areas resepctively and that is enough to ignite the violence.

  OISG & Sharma,
  
  Thanks for taking your "campaign" into meaningful directions, unlike the "pretentious-others-in-ur-capmpaign" who just want to make ur campaign take an IR FANS Vs ARR FANS orientation. My compliments first for that :-) !!
  
  I am making the same point as u guys are talking now. How can you be damn sure that "ambleen" or "GOD" or whatever is an IR Fan for sure? I am a regular visitor to this forum, and i have not seen these morons posting anything in relevance to IR's music in any IR THREADS.
  
  And thats exactly the reason why i say u shud take this issue with ADMIN and not come to IR Threads and spread hatred further (exactly the same sentiments with OISG)..
  
  Why dont you guys start a thread titled something like "NOTIFYING ADMIN" and copy paste moronic hatred spilling posts and ask the admin to expose these stupids. That will make ur campaign more meaningful & powerful.
  
  OISG & SHARMA, We have common enemies here (ambleen, GOD, IRAIVAN, SHANMUGAM etc). All i am saying is, point ur lethal guns on these common enemies. Dont just make callous assumptions that these are either ARR FANS or IR FANS. These morons are mostly poorly brought up kids who pathetically die for some cheap attention. Get hold of them, dont just blindly spread hatred & unplesant feelings.
  
  Hope i have made it clear...[Also be vary of "FAKE CAMPAIGNERS" in ur clan..:-) ]

  hey! vel,
  
  the idea of a new thread "Notifying Admin" is really good. We all can expose offensive posts & posters and thread in which they are made, in this thread. The admins job is made easy. They have to just go to relevant page and see/judge whether it is really offensive and if felt so can remove those posts.
  
  We can make this new thread "Notifying Admin" as a permanant thread (unfortunate thing to happen for TFM page).
  
  I am creating one now with the name "Attention Please Admin.

  I think one has to be really really dull headed to doubt ambleen is a HCIRF.
  
  Also the dimwits here dont realise tat God was banned by admin loong ago, which is why he hasnt appeared for a very long time. And they want to "inform" admin...pls dont make me laugh! Admin notices if anything bad is said abt IR. Not the other way round.
  
  OISG & Sharma, pls dont bother wasting ur time wit the dimwits here. I've been thro tis b4. Nothing came out of it. u'll see more JJs, Uthamans, Awes cropping out of every corner. Admin will never ban them for some unexplainable reason. But admin doesnt hesitate to do the same for the "others". I can tell u many interesting facts over email.
  If u want to know who ambleen is OISG, I will tell u over email as well.
  
  And pls dont waste ur time trying to communicate wit dullheads, guys.

  Ok, I'm sorry to lose my cool. I have said more than I shud have. I have gained the trust and confidence of some people here over time and I dont want to lose it. I'd like to end this here.
  I wud also like to acknowledge the difficult job admin has in running tis forum, wat wit mischief makers of all sorts running their own personal agendas and games, my apologies to admin for any insinuations. My thx to them for helping me meet some really great ppl here, not all of whom r wat they seem like online.
  
  And of course, I hope tis thread will get back on track to BBC, & IR and the top 10 list.

  OISG & SHARMA,
  
  Hope i didnt forget to mention that you guys need to be vary of "FAKE CAMPAIGNERS" in ur clan..:-)
  
  I think i should stress now, "be doubly wary now of FAKE CAMPAIGNERS" :-)). While you & me might think we have common enemies like GOD, AMBLEEN, IRAIVAN, SHANMUGAM, GOWRI etc, there might be some people here who simply enjoy bloody wars in newtfmpage, and thus give this stupid IR FANS VS ARR FANS orientation to he whole affair & chuckle in the background...and whats more, u wud often find these FAKE CAMPAIGNERS resorting to encouraging such unpleasant feeling ...
  
  Hope while we join hands to track down morons like GOD, AMBLEEN, SHANMUGAM, IRAIVAN, GOWRI etc, you guys should also control people who will be hell bent on spewing venow & spreading unpleasant environment..
  
  Hope now people can see more clearly & vividly..
  
  ANBE SIVAM :-)

  Why are YOU faking it?
  If you have a problem with WN, take it out with her. Your approach, I am sorry to say this, is very ungentlemanly.
  
  Kupps
  Talking about controls, isn't self-control the best method? Old timers should take the lead in this and attempt to ccol things when it gets out of hand. I don't think we need to burden admin any more. After all they are human and have their own prejudices. :)

  Let me help get this thread back on track (quite difficult wit pathetic attention seekers running amok)..
  
  "Last year he was voted most popular icon internationally by the BBC poll and had his own wax statue erected in the famous wax statue in London."
  I found the above lines from an article on AB, in an old bookmark, but cant get the link to work.
  
  Wat I dont quite get is, if the statue was a result of the poll? So wud tis mean anything for the current poll? I guess a wax statue of IR in London is unlikely, but something else to acknowledge the song perhaps?

  From Sify Movies:
  
  "BBC as part of its 70th anniversary celebrations complied a list of World’s Top Ten songs and the winner is “Adi Rakkamma Kaiya Thattu” from India. Ilayaraja had tuned this Tamil song and it has left behind western pop and rock classics! More than 1000 songs were nominated from different countries.
  
  S.P.Balasubramaniam and Swarnalatha sung this song for the Mani Ratnam classic Dalapathy. Music fans from 112 countries selected the winner and the maximum number of votes had been sent from India. Other winners among the top ten from India are Bankim Chandra Chaterjee’s “Vande Madaram” sung and composed by A.R.Rahman in the fifth place and "Chaiya Chaiya…" written by Gulzar, sung by Sukhvinder and composed by A.R.Rahman at the seventh place.
  
  Strangely the Rakkamma song is the last song composed by Ilayaraja for Mani Ratnam before their famous fall out. Actually the fall out was over Ilayaraja making snide remarks about Mani’s picturisation of the song. Tamil film fans believe that the song became such a huge hit during those days mainly because it was shot on the living legend Rajnikanth."

  Aalavandhan,
  
  I am not faking it..nor do i have anything to do with anyone, as u pointed..Not again :-))
  
  I am just cautioning that while we IR FANS & ARR FANS mutually agree to disagree, we should put up with fake campaigners who would give it an IR Fans Vs ARR Fans war orientation, and carefully hold our anger/temper from rising when such people post instigating remarks (as i said, these fake campaigners enjoy bloodysome war, and do not care either abt IR or ARR).
  
  I am only glad that this thread is back on track...OVER TO "RAKKAMMA KAIYA THATTU" please
  :-))

  "5.how the song was received by the hindi audience when it was dubbed in hindi ? "
  
  could be they would have thought that this MD from south has copied the tune of our "thuthu thoo thuthu thaara" ;-)
