cross posted from "who is the music creator" thread..illaatti makkals may think it is a serious writeup:))
the music creator yaaru: aahaa, enna arpudhamaana oru topic...idhaip
paththi pEsikkittE irukkalaam.
mudhalile music endral enna enbadhaip paththi theLivaa irukkanum..
appuram creatornna yaaru, avar pannaradhu enna, idhile oru
mudivukku varanum. appuramaa,indha template vachindu yaaru "the
music creator" appadinnu kandupidikkalaam.
music creation: is it the same as creation of a poem, or a story, or an
algorithm? is it the same as making a delicious dish? is it the same as
spending energy in plowing the fields? what is music creation? what
are the essential things that go into it? if we go into this deeply, in
20th century B.C, kidi kidi munivarnnu oruthar, isai thaan indha ulagin
naabik kamalamnnu somaandami mozhiyile solliyirukkAr. then, there
are several examples of people who tried to create music. but an
important issue arises here. is music a form of energy? then can it be
created or destroyed? if not, then the whole topic becomes pointless.
we can change the topic to "who is the music channelizer", the one
who channelizes other forms of energy into music. going further on
this idea, we need to realise what are the forms of energy that can be
transformed into music. who does that efficiently? then, we can discuss
if the modern electronic equipments help the music director to do this.
dr.johnson once said that music is effective madness. taking this theory
for discussion, who can create madness? madness is just a state of
mind, just like extreme IR fanaticism. it is self driven and external
factors cause hyper reaction from the inside and result in madness. if
music is effective madness, the person who creates such madness
cannot exist above it. hence, he will also be a mad man. thus, the
logical conclusion is that "the music creator" is a mad person in
kilpauk mental hospital or somewhere. don't underestimate his
potential...madness is contagious.

bulbs be stopped
111 to defend the posting to this list saying that we all use light

No - This is not a TFM related topic, but just
thought it deserves a wider audience (This too
received via e-mail..)
Did you watch the movie Thiruvilaiyadal. If so for sure this is
going to make you laugh more........Here you go.......
ACT ONE
Madhurai. Market place. A guy sitting on an elephant with a drum in his
hand. Seems he's going to make an announcement.
DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM
Naattu makkalukkoar narchcheidhi!!!!!
Namadhu paandiya mannarukku yaerppattulla sandhegaththai theerththu
vaikkak koodiya C program-i yezhudhik kondu varum programmerukku aayiram

DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM
Tharumi comes from inside the crowd in an effort to hear the thing
clearly.
Thar (to the guy on elephant) : Yevvalavu?? aayiram America dollaraa?
The guy on elephant : Amaam..aayiram America dollargal.
Tharumi could not control himself. He begins to talk with himself.
Ayyo Ayyo...
Onnaa rendaa...
Aayiram dollar achchae..
Aayiram dollar achchae..
naan yenna pannuvaen....
ipponnu paaththu program yezhudha varla, program yezhudha varla
Appa sokka...
Sivan, the GOD appears from nowhere. Sivan looks like a Systems
programmer.
He calls Tharumi, who was all alone in his greedy thoughts.
Sivan : Pulavarae...
Tharu : Yaar adhu?
Sivan : Azhaiththadhu naandhaan
Tharu : appadia? yaen azaichcheenga?
Sivan : Mannarin ayyappaatai neekkum C Program unakkuk kidaiththaal,

Sivan : En thiramaiyin meedhu sandhegam irundhaal, nee vaendumaanaal

Now, Tharumi gets angry...
Tharu : yaaru..yenkittayaevaa..yenkittayaevaa..yenkittayae modhap

Tharu : Offsite-ukku?
Sivan : Nee
Tharu : Onsite-ukku?
Sivan : Naan.
Tharu : Ayya aala vidu..
Tharumi falls at Sivan's feet and recovers himself.
Tharu : Ayya..Neer programmer.
Sivan : Nee..
Tharu : Illai. Naan programmer illai. Yengae andhap programme-ik
kodungal. Mannar yenna kodukkiraro adhai appadiyae ungalidam koduththu

Sivan hands over a floppy to Tharumi.
Sivan : Parisaththanaiyum neeyae vaiththuk kol.
Tharu : Aayiram dollaraiyumaa?
Sivan : Aam. Sendru vaa.
Tharu leaves with the floppy, but hesitates for a moment. He comesback
and asks Sivan
Tharu : Parisu kidaiththaal naan vaangikkolgiraen. Vaeru yedhaavadhu
kidaiththaal...
Sivan : Yennidam vaa. naan paarththuk kolgiraen
Tharu : Yengenga veengi irukkunnaa?
Sivan : HaHaHa
Tharu : Idharkkum sirippiththaanaa?
Sivan : Vetri unakkae. Poai vaa.

Sivan : Yengum paarkkalaam.
Tharu : Oho. Body-shopper pola irukku.
Sivan : Indha voorilaeyae periya veedu nam veedudhaan.
Tharu : Yendha veedo?
Sivan shows the temple.
ACT TWO
Pandiyan's software thiruchchabai
There are lots of programmers, system analysts and module leaders
sitting with a laptop at the appropriate place.
Tharu enters totally confused.
Tharu : Mannaa!!
Guy1 stretches his hands in the direction of King. But Tharumi calls
the next guy as Arasae!! This happens several times. Then,
Tharu : Paar vaendhae!!! Yennaip paar vaendhae!! Programmudan
vandhirukkum Tharumiyin vanakkam.
Pandi : Yengae! umadhu source code-ik kodum.
Tharu hands over the Floppy to Pandiyan.
Pandiyan gives it to the Data entry operator sitting just below him.
The operator puts that floppy in his pc,copies the content to C drive
and opens the file in the editor.
#includevoid main()
{
a= 13*3;
printf("%d\n",a);
}
Paandi is excited.
Pandi : Aha... arumaiyaana logic. Aazhndha syntax. Theerndhadhu
andhegam.
Tharu : Manna ..Parisu.
Pandi : Yaar angae...Aayiram america dollargalai yeduththu vaarungal.
Tharu : Modhalla indha CD-kaaran kadana theeththudanum..
The prize arrives. Tharumi is all set to receieve it.
Pandi : Software sangam theerththu vaikkadha yen sandhegaththai thani
oru programmer-aaga theerththu vaiththa Tharumikku indhap paricinai
alikkiraen.
Well. Tharumi is not so lucky. A voice comes from the other side of the
sabhai. That voice belongs to Nakkeeran,the Senior systems analyst of
the Pandiya kingdom.
Nak : Manna..Satrup porungal. Programmer-ae satru ippadi
varugireeraa?
Tharu : Mudiyaadhu.Parisai vaangik konduthaan varuvaen. manna podu.

Tharu : Mannarukkae vilangi vittadhu,idaiyil neer yenna. Manna!!naan romba

Meanwhile Nakkeeran compiles the program. It gives an error message : a
not defined.
Nak : Sariyaana oru programukku yem mannavan parisalikkiraar yendraal
