The legendary Tamil poet,lyricist,actor Padma Shri Vaali sir(T.S.Rangarajan) passes away due to respiratory illness.

I once got an opportunity to see him at a function couple of years back.I was sitting on the first few rows and he was talking about Beatles and other bands and relating them to the greatness of MSV sir.

Then a question was asked to him that he is the person who wrote great lyrics like "Kan pona pokila Kaal pogalama" ,"Mundrinilae en moch irrukum" and he is the same person who wrote "Mukabula" ..He quickly understood where it was going and he said.."Porul(meaning) undan ezhudiya bodhu porul(money) varalvillae..Porul ilamal ezhudiyabodhu Porul vandadhu..En vetilyum adupu eriya vendama..?.(When I wrote with meaning I did not get money..But when I wrote without meaning I got money..My family needs food..right.?..)"

Also, when a person was praising him "You wrote lyrics for yesteryear heroes 90's heroes and present heroes..you are great.." for which he added "nalaya hero kum naan ezhuduvean(I will also write for the next generation too)..I remember his speech and that was an inspiring day..I was lucky to have met the legend .Great man.. and salute..___/\__

RIP sir....Though you have left this world ,you will live with us through your lyrics..!!

Influence of character on surroundings.

Well to start off there have been many stories how a person's personality affects his surroundings and has a lasting influence on others.We have experienced it ourselves.But there is one such incident from the epic Ramayana which can be analogous to the statement above.Before reading this I request the rational readers to look at the psychological implications rather than  questioning the incidents.

Well the story starts like this.We all know Lord Rama practiced monogamy when polygamy was famous and the idea of having relation with more than a women was common.Also Lord Rama's father Dasaratha followed polygamy.It is known that Lord Rama did not stray his thoughts on any other women other than Lord Sita.

We also know that Ravana had liked Sita and wished to make her his own.But he could not do it because he had a curse that if he was to touch any women he must have her consent ,else he will burn into ashes.Ravana had a power to turn himself into any form .He tried many forms to get near Lord Sita but ended up in vain.By this time you would have thought why not change into Lord Ram's appearance and approach Lord Sita.Spot on..!..The same advice was given to Ravana by his minister on seeing his unsuccessful attempts.

On hearing this Ravana said "You being a minister can think this much, I am the king ,the ruler don't you think I would have thought of the same.? I tried to take Ram's form many times but I had no interest to approach Sita because whenever I assume his form I lose interest in thinking about other women.In his form my mind does not entertain the thought of other women".

This story was read in a magazine(Infinithoughts) and this is my interpretation of the incident.Now I leave it to the wonderful thought process of yours to interpret this incident and come to conclusions which may vary from my interpretation. ..:)
