Song for the Situation

Payanagal Mudivathillai

நெஜமாலுமே ப்ரோகிராம தள்ளி வெச்சுட்டாங்கப்பா... சிட்டுவேஷன் பாட்டு போட்டும் வருண பகவான் காதுக்கு கேக்கலை.

தள்ளிவைக்கப்பட்ட நிகழ்ச்சி நவம்பர் மாதமே மறுபடியும் நடந்தா தான் கெத்தா இருக்கும்.

அங்கே சாண்டி புயலால் இசைஞானிக்கு பிரச்சனை

இங்கே நிலம் புயலால் கலைஞானிக்கு பிரச்சனை

The response is not that great. Ilayathalam needs 100,000 views by the end of the 1st month (i.e.: Nov 3rd week). We are scraping the whole project of documenting Maestro's life and achievements if the fans are not interested.

Sad to hear this . But based on my experience in the software industry .. you have to have content first to get the hits (or downloads in my case). Keep continuing people will come.. also the profile of internet users is more youthful and probably not exposed to IR that much ..albums/hits like NEPV will help. Not sure, the great man will understand these sort of things, but I thoroughly enjoyed his annakiLi anecdote. In our younger years we were able to interact with good professors in the university but we were not able to hear or see great scientists. Similarly, in music, not many, can hear or see great musicians talk. Technology now helps. Why not give the audience some love this way and little more than the main ingredient- music which they may have to actually buy !!!

Shri.Ilayaraja really needs a professional PR person to guide him!
Take this video posted regarding postponement of his concerts!
There is no SORRY NOTE about the natural disaster happening now, a consoling heart touching note for the people who are hurting!
We all know that Raja cares but it's good to hear him say it.
Unfortunate, his folks just posted the video instead of guiding him!
This was noted by a Ilayaraja fan in the Facebook & he felt that Raja could have done better!

anyway...
Shri.ilayaraja's music is enough for me to uplift my spirits!
For that I am grateful to you, Raja!

Social media is completely new ball game. It requires entirely different approach and reaching out.

Ilayathalam problem is there are already other Raja page maintained unofficially by others which has 100K members, 30k members etc... It is not easy effort to bring ppl from other pages/groups to official page.

It will probably happen but will take lot more time and effort.

yeah... what happened to raaja.com?
remember Raghavan and Vicky etc.. fellows are working on it!

Raaja dot com has many many treasures inside and all above that the HUMAN effort of so many individuals. Sadly we don't know the reason why they have not yet launched it.

Social media is not very easy and getting 1 lakh likes within 3 weeks needs a real miracle to happen
