Thanks myown_niche for your fine reflections on this matter. You've pointed out the exact thoughts that were running on my mind.
I too feel that it's futile to venture into this topic. The fact that ARR has been conferred with one of the highest award is a reason to celebrate by itself. Thus, why spoil the celebrations by broaching into this needless debate on IR's attitude and characteristics? In fact, like Shan rightly pointed out, IR didn't say anything bad about ARR. He just said that such questions should be posed to ARR himself and not him. IR might not have shared the humility and modesty of ARR, but then again, does this give any of us the right to bad-mouth him? On the same note, bringing up topics of what IR said in the past i.e during the felicitation programme or way back in the 90's is again an inappropriate topic of discussion. In my humble view, such discussions would add nothing but hatred among the hearts of our fellow members. Like ARR himself said "All my life, I had the choice of hate and love. I chose love, and I am here" . So, kindly forego all the hatred and let's lead our lives with love for others.

So I request you all to enjoy ARR's win. As IR says, "why should I feel for him"; it is applicable to him from our part too, when we discuss about only ARR here. And ARR, in his inimitable style, has given his take on the same. That's it. Until now, ARR has always been humble and simple, and that persona captures attention and imagination of people from every section of the society across the globe. If that makes him great, that's good for us to emulate such attributes. "Who's the biggest" or "Who's the greatest" is not a worthy discussion here. Let's hear the music they create and the normal people (including you and me!) will give their verdicts. And as you all know, the public is intelligent to decide who they admire the most, when each of them have their own choices. So please stop such discussions, which add nothing much to the group and the discussions. It's a sincere request. --- In arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com, Thulasi Ram <karoke...@. ..> wrote: > > alright fellas, "hear" it. the tone tells it all. > > http://www.indiagli tz.com/channels/ tamil/gallery/ events/20839. html > > <http://www.indiagli tz.com/channels/ tamil/gallery/ events/20839. html> > On Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 10:06 PM, Thulasi Ram <karoke...@. ..> wrote: > > > Ilayaraja - тАЬWhy should I feel anything for him?
