What Munir has achieved with Trump is a return to normal, ironing out the post-Abbottabad crease. The White House picture gives us insight into how Pakistan survives, occasionally thrives and thinks.
How still someone especially media taking this deranged ass so seriously… He’s become an evangelist and purposefully defaming Hindus and their rituals and practices.
Most abominable assault by a frustrated musician externd from traditional platforms for his vengeful bashing of a specific community. Palghat Mani Iyer was great celebrity untarnished by any thought of caste,creed and economic status devoted singularly to the perfection of his art. It is grossly unfair to cast any aspersions on this simple man who even stopped playing for a while, because he felt the mike fouled his beats in amplification. MGR begged of him and restored his performance in concerts. Krishna should retrieve his sanity and his espousal of Dalits and their elevation does not stand promoted by this degraded action.
Where does the relationship exist between the maker and the consumer of his product ? Does Chidambaram salute the kin of Thirumavalavan for making his chappal ? Does Krishna let his barber dine in his kitchen ? By kindling such sensitive issues, Krishna is not elevating the Dalits nor espousing their cause. He is simply playing the seasoned game of politics and bashing a community that has externd him from traditional platforms. I have seen personally the favoured Mridangam maker of Palghat Mani Iyer, dine and dwell in his house and treated as part of the family. Krishna is unfit to talk about that great celebrity and must introspect to find other ways to regain his sanity. Mani Iyer was a simple man untouched by feelings of caste, creed and economic status and proclaimed his ignorance boldy of any other knowledge beyond his only love – the Mridangam and he was revered by people in all walks of life for his simplicity and devotedness.. It because of M G R who begged of him to continue playing , ( when he stopped playing for a while ) he recommenced his concerts granting a margin for the mike which he
felt fouled the resonance of the beats originating from the percussion instrument. It is most unfair of a musician to cast serious aspersions and cause damage to his reputation by drawing him in to this quagmire in a degraded mental state.
So…The mrdangam is not only made with animal skill but also wood. So are almost all the instruments known to all. So should environmentalists be concerned about trees similarly?! And how about the association between the woodcutter and the artiste.
T M K is a petty minded man who misuses his communication skills to pander to perverse minds and gain cheap popularity. More so because he cannot compete with the younger talents that are coming up every day. Such cowards will certainly be forgotten soon. They will never learn lessons
TMK is a good singer.I listen atleast one of his songs a day on YouTube.But not able to fully appreciate his views on certain things about Carnatic music.Great singers of yesteryears do know how the mrudangam is made and who are the makers and the things go in to it.TMK is not providing any new knowledge to the society by his views.In fact TMK is known to the world due to the Carnatic music and not the other way around.His views on various aspects on the Carnatic music world in spite of his popularity due to it,is just like one kicking the ladder after going to the top.
Not clear which particular audience he is addressing by his views.
Swami Vivekanand has said;”The sweeper should sweep and the King should rule the Country.If you interchange the position neither the country will be swept clean nor it will be ruled properly.”
Possibly time has come to gain some wisdom from Swamiji’s views for people who stray from their chosen path and profession.Certain views like personal secrets should be kept at a individual level only in order not to create confusion in other minds.
I have already read two three reviews of the book.
Mr T M Krishna appears to make most of off the cuff remarks from family members and bring discredit to doyens of carnatic music. Truly perverted portrayal aimed at cheap popularity.
