Hi,
Very funny guys!, I feel I have missed a lot.
and the satire which protrays me, udhaya...
that was good, and What Mr.Observer does is much more waste of time than we waste in ARR and IR kudimee sandai, he sits and observes these things and pens them down with care, Mr. Observer you should have used my name directly - One of your observation was incorrect , Branding me as ARR - Baktan.
Also you left out Ravi and the rest of the TFM promotors who organize this Entrie show -- enna bayama! BTW :Rameswaram is ok, (I mean it - I have moved to a town on the banks of River missisippi).
And to finish my long talk :
Instead of sitting and chatting in a bar with a peg of whisky among a group of drunken monks
- I consider writing about what I feel on tamil music in this tfm page is much much much better work..and time manangement.
Astala Vista Mr.Observer.

Preface:
-------
This is an outcome of what Nirupama & others are discussing
in the thread "Impact of TFM on other communities" such as:
- introducing TFM to Canadians and their phone calls
- why not introduce DF to Canadians
- why NOT DFers ask Questions to Canadians
- Should Deva songs be played to Canadians ?
After reading all the "THOUGHT PROVOKING" stuff, the "Deva Fan"
with in me "vizithufied" and the outcome follows.
PS to Preface:
I am sure Nirupama & others like OORVASI,
I mean "Take it easy oorvasi!"
This is purely a TGIF mood stuff.
The Canadian TFM Show:
----------------------
This is the 3rd week since our DJ started playing TFM
in the local radio station of Vancouver. Here is the
new show and the phone calls from listners.
DJ:
This week we will play The Best of OOLAI idum songs of TFM.
Here goes the best from the lot....
"nEthu rAthiri yammA.."
The moment the song was over..the phone rings....
Caller#1:
uhh..uhhh..uhh.. (moochiraikka) What did you just play ??
It is HEAVENLY. I never heard any such seeductive wooooiiinnggg
in my life.
This song gave me KICK much more than what VIAGRA claims!!!
Man! I need this very much and am sure I will be NOT be a
VIAGRA ADDICT anymore. Thanks to this great music.
DJ: !!!!!!!!
Caller#2:
Can you Please play the song in another half-an-hour -
I.....(oops the call got disconnected)
DJ: Since this songs has disturbed some people I am changing
the mood with following song....
"kutty kutty rackammaa"
Caller#3:
Vov! this "Goody Goody Rock Mom" song is very good.
What does it mean ?
Since the music is good, I am sure the wordings
must mean something great.
Looks like a song about some good mom!!!
DJ:
Thanks for asking about the song writer for a change.
In TFM, the writer and the composer are different people.
This song was penned by Vairamuthu.
In this song he describes about the urge of a husband for
a new baby to his wife.
Caller#3:
Vov! What a Superb idea. This is very unique.
I am sure no one would have thought about this.
I would like to know more about "vaidoo moot" & his work.
DJ: (who is also a Theevira VM fan)
You are very correct.
This GREAT POET Should be nominated for NOBEL prize
(when Tagore as an Indain can get Nobel, why NOT VM !!!,
This Nobel committee is totally against Tamilians.
VM oru "thAdi illAtha Tagore & meesai illAtha Barathy"
what do THEY know about VM)
Here is the next song....
"annE annE sippAi annE..numma ooru nalla ooru"
Caller:
VOV! THIS IS INCREDIBLE.
THIS IS A MIRACLE.
I have been DEAF since birth and I never
knew what sound or music means.
But with this song I AM NOT DEAF anymore!
I can hear! I can hear!
What a HEAVENLY MUSIC!!
IT CAN BE CREATED ONLY BY GOD!
WHO IS THIS RAGADEVAN!
I WAS NOT ABLE TO HEAR OTHER SONGS ONLY THIS ONE
DJ : interfears the caller
Hey! wait a minute, you seem familiar.....
I KNOW!!, you are a THEEVIRA IR FAN, in disguise
The caller shouts "IR RULEZ" and disconnects the phone.
DJ :
next song would be :
"manam virumbuthE unnai..unnai..."
caller: I am John Laurel Hardy!
What I just heard is not simply humanly possible.
(asaiyum poruL niRkavum, niRkum poruL asaiyavum - from
TS Balaiya of ThiruviLaiyadal !!!)
I am from Queen Victoria Symphony of Canada
Whatever it takes to bring this MD here! I will do it.
His music is new...it dosn't belong to any group.
It has evrything of Rock, Jazz, Carnatic, Hindustani,
Symphony....
I would like this pattern of music to be
named as DEVA_PHONY.
(With a silent "s" says some DFer as in "DEVA_s_PHONY")
After sucessfully finishing the week's show, DJ writes
the experience in DF.
DFers Questions to Canadians:
-----------------------------
Since DFers Qs to TFM listeners in Canada are approved by our DJ.
We the DFers are very ENTHU to post our Qs.
Deva Fan: I really want to know whether THEY consider
Deva as a Born Genious or Experienced Composer ?
PP Fan: Do THEY think that MSV's songs are good because
of Kannadasan lyrics ?? (!!!!)
TIRF: How many of THEM belong to the religion
"Hare Raaja! Hare IR!" ?
How many times they chant the manthra
"IR IS GOD!" & "IR RULEZ!"
Raga Fan:
Do they know that WE have a raga "KAnadA" named after
their country ? Their national anthem is based on this raga too!!!
Canadians enter DF
------------------
DJ aks those Qs & now Canadians are AWARE of TFM-DF.
Let us see how CANs are freaking out....
CAN #1 or Tom :
I LOVE THIS PAGE
(this guy is a fast learner of DF - starting with CAPS !!!)
There is more HEAT & Destruction here than your country's
Nuke test!
CAN #2 or Dicck :
I listened to TFM and they are very good.
In few songs I was able to understand few words like
CLINTON, ARMSTRONG, DISNEY LAND,....
Who is the writer of these songs who introduces the GLOBAL stuff
to people live in the nook-n-corner of HOLLY Tamilnadu.
I am VERY curious to learn his original work in Tamil.
How can I learn Tamil ??
Is it true that though Tamil is one of the oldest languages of
the world - it dosn't have CAPS (capital letters)!!!! and why ??
Suddenly "Nandhi" Ravi interferes, Mr. CAN#2, this forum is
ONLY for TFM. Please restrict your Qs to TFM. Since you are a
new comer, I am not going to delete your query and hoping
that some Tamil pisthA like Pagalavan will respond.
John:
Kudos, guys!!
Now I want the list of ALL Tamil songs which has the word "JOHN"
Immediately our enthu DFers pouring in their list.
one PP fan:
oru JOHN vaiyiRRai vaLarpavar uyirai oorar ninaipathu sulabam
This is from Padagotti - wonderful melody by MSV
one 80s fan:
JOHNagi Ramanai thEdinAL
(Is it from Sathurangam ?? or some Visu movie ??
Ramki: please onfirm)
hee_hoo_haa:
JOHN-e-man JOHN-e-man from Chitchor
(hee! hee! this is HFM -
so what CANs can't understand the differnce :))))) )
CAN#3 or Harry:
What a Freakingggggg Page!!!!
I don't know who these guys IR & ARR are, but I love the way
you guys break your heads - fighting over them.
Previously my favorite web page used to be www.WWF.com
(World Wrestling Foundation) - but NOT anymore.
I am going to recommend this DF to all WWF newcomers to participate
in this DF before they get into the actual fighting RING.
Soon more of WWFers start participating in the DF
with actual names like "Junk Yard Dog", "Cracker Braker",
"Tara Sing", "pull thadikki pailvan",....
Ravi has become very busy being the refree and has become an
expert at it and thinks...
"appAdA! even if I don't finish my PhD, I can get a job
as a refree at WWF"
More new abbreviations are added like.. "$#@%^@#*" & "KIRRRACK"....
The Chaos (or Americans Enter DF)
---------------------------------
When so much fun is happening...the Americans who are tired of
excitements from Bunjee Jumping & Viagra and are in the look out for
new excitements have FINALLY DISCOVERED the DF.
(The first American posting to DF will later be celebrated
as the Turkey Day)
One Enthu DFer starts a thread :
"Who appreciates TFM better ? Americans or CANs"
Let us take a peep at this thread....
Though initially it started nicely - those nice things are
now in "Old Response" and the "peep" shows only the current scene
(Americans & CANs are fighting & swearing about who is a better IR Fan)
USAer: You Wacos! WE are the TRUE fans of IR. WE know
what music means..that is why WE gave IR a Doctrate!
CAN: You Tacos! YOU are the same guys who gave another
Doctrate to Gangai Amaran also :))))
USAer: You DEVA HEAD! Don't remind our mistakes - otherwise
we will make the VISA process tough against you
CAN: Oh yAh! Then will put a BIG SCREEN around NIAGRA FALLS
and make it NOT visible from US side.
USAer: Till then, do you think our hands would be plucking tamarind
(He meant: athu varaikkum enga kai enna puLi-yangAiyA
paRichittu irukkum!!!)
Suddenly "Refree/umpire/moderator" RAVI appears:
Guys, hold on. This thread has taken a tangential turn.
This thread is NOT an appropriate place to discuss
these things. Please post your responses in one of
the following 3 threads :
(I don't care what happens in these 3 threads.)
Psychology of Transition
dlkjhdsdfshlhk
Why Psychology for Theevira IR Fans
Now more-n-more Americans participate in HOT discussions and
even wear T-Shirts with slogans:
IR is GOD
Deva = Original
I do DF
Even old bumper stickers of the cars which used to say
"My son is the Best Student of the Month in blah-blah Elementry School"
are stuck over with new stickers saying
"My son does DF"
"I am a Theevira IR Fan, so what?"
"DF Happens!!"
CBC Plan Backfired!!
-------------------
Watching the FIRE created by a show of a local radio station &
things happening in DF, The CBC
(Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) announces a new show.
(of course! with their newly hired DJ)
The DJ plans for a new one hour show "ithAndA Copy" -
sponsored by XEROX "The Original Copiers" -
first half hour with Deva's songs and the 2nd half hour with
their originals.
Because Deva songs are played first, most people think
that second half MDs are all copy cats of Deva.
(it is quiet natural, you know!!!)
Calls are pouring in and Canadians are fighting like hell about
Deva VS others copying Deva!!!!
Deva is becoming a household name in Canada.
Deva goes to Canada:
-------------------
Since Canadians are RAVING about Deva's music, he decides to
move to Canada. At this point, one of our DFer who was
a GREAT fan of Deva - accidently meets him in MADRAS EGMORE
Railway Station. Though Deva_fan was pleasantly petrified
he regains his calm and talked to Deva.
Our Deva_fan has started a new thread :
"I REALLY REALLY SAW & TALKED TO DEVA AT EGMORE.." and
making postings like how he felt heavenly.
Other DF-ers who had similar
"Close Encounters Of The 3rd Kind" & "Dharsans"
responding with enthu. Describing their feelings &
how they got PULL-ARITHU-FIED is beyond
the scope of this posting - so we just look at the conversation.
DFDF (Deva Fan also a DFer) with Deva:
DFDF: What is your opinion about the Canadian fans ?
Deva: They are just great. They are the TRUE listeners of TFM.
They have good sense of music.
DFDF: What is your next plan ?
Deva: I AM RELOCATING, MOVING, MIGRATING, IMMIGRATING to CANADA
Canadian Govt. have already given me the "adaikalam"
under VVVIP category.
Thats why I am here to buy the ticket to Canada.
DFDF: then what will happen to our Tamil Fans here ??
Deva: Well! Tamils enjoyed my Golden Era and it is time for them
to let me go. I will pass on the responsibility of making good
quality TFM & the "Tourch of Music" to others.
DFDF: Who would you suggest to take the tourch from you ?
Deva: To my Brother
DFDF: Which one ?
Deva: (kadu kadu-nu irritate Agi)
The other guy, whoever is NOT the MD of Kathar.
DFDF: How would you pass on your secrets ??
Deva: HAA! HAA! ithukellAm "konAr tamil urai"yA ezutha mudiyum.
it is called LOLLUS
Look Observe Listen Learn Uruvu(cut) Sorugu(paste)
DFDF: What if the Canadians find out, you are nothing but a copier ?
Deva: Hmmmm..ithaik kEttu kEttu enakku puLichu pOchu...
If Canadians come to know, irukkavE irukku CROATIA or
CHECKZOLOVOKIA.
Deva in Holywood
----------------
Deva is doing a great job in Canada.
Slowly Deva becomes number 1 in MTV and other CHARTS and....
Deva becomes the target of Hollywood.
"Bridges Of Madison County" remade with new Deva's songs
Clint Estwood & Merryl Streep writing letters and singing
"Dear Dearest Howdy dude!!" in "nalam nalam aRiya Aval" tune.
Spielberg using Deva in his "Jurassic Park III " movie. In which
Deva has done a phenominal job with BGM...
when the BIG Dynasor walks - the THUM THUM THUMPING noice
is completely replaced by "JINGUCHA JINGUCHA"
And the funny little dynasors running around and singing;
jinguchA jinguchA
sevappu coloru dynasor
manja coloru dynasor
pacha coloru dynasor
In "Labor Day - Independence Day Part II" movie, one
alien dancing with another singing...
alli(en) alli(en) anArkali(en)
and
7 maNiku mEla nAnum inba latchumy
(In this scene, when the clock hits 7, the alien morphs
into Silk Simtha)
Disney decides to make the animated version of "AnacondA" with
the ALL TIME GREAT song:
athAndA ithAndA ANACONDA nAn thAndA!!
After so many movies, now the simple formula of success in
Hollywood is - IF DEVA, YES DOLLAR.
The Oscar Night:
----------------
Ofcourse! Deva got nominated for Oscar.
All other nominees feel it is totally unfair for the
committee to nominate them in par with DEVA and withdraw
from the list. Now Deva is ANNAPOST (athAnga un-opposed)
and here comes the moment, on Oscar Night.....
"The Best ORIGINAL score" goes to Deeeeeeevvvvvvvaaaaaaaa
(standing ovation....Deva! Deva! Deva!.....)
Deva walks slowly to podium, nodding at people with his
one hand holding one end of his white Dhoti
(what a simple man! with calm eyes like Ramana Maharishi
- says one bystander)
Deva at the podium: (speechless Deva starts with a very slow
murmuring voice to an emotional outbreak)
oo.orr.igi.nall
ooorriginall
OriigiinaL
ORIginal
ORIGINal
ORIGINAL
OOOORIIIIGINALLLL
I LOVE THIS WORD.....More than this prize.
I AM ORIGINAL....I AM ORIGINAL....
The whole auditorium is now silent...all looking at Deva...
Deva still SHOUTING.... I AM THE ORIGINAL
Original - New - Puthumai - Discovery - (all synonyms of Orginal)
..., ....,....,.....,.... ALL ORIGINAL
I AM ORIGINAL. Haaaa Haaaa Haaaa,,,,,
If there is anybody I like to thank it is ONLY ONE person.
THANKS A LOT DJ !!!!
see! nAma, DFers, manasu vachA, we can do wonders!!
(and for Kathar VM may add a new lyrick
"Deva-ai original Akiya DFum oru athisayamE")

It is a long time since I had such a heart-felt laugh. Great piece. So you are also a Canadian, eh?
Ever think of starting a syndicated column in newspapers?

Bones: Too good. As Varghese suggested, why not a regular column?
