Great Lord Somasundaresa showers nectar of compassion.
PS: As I was looking up stuff online, I came across a composition of Muthuswami Dikshitar in Sudha Dhanyasi (there is no Youtube of the kriti in Shudha Dhanyasi): called Somasundareswaram, Now Raaga_Suresh was telling me that they have discussed on TFM long back on Khilte Hain being a possible inspiration for Maalaiyil Yaaro. Now neither Raaja nor GVM mention this but my mind was already mapping the scale to Maalaiyil Yaaro Manadhodu Pesa. Sang the scales of the raga (Shudha Dhanyasi) and gave another revelation that the raga is best suited for the nature of a forest and its associated climes! Where is Khilte Hain Gul Yahan set? In a forest of course! Raaja’s tone of reverence is to be seen. Nirdayi Pritam has Shakuntala writing a letter to her lover on a lotus leaf and setting it afloat in the river in a forest. He touched on Stree’s (1961) O Nirdayi Pritam, composed by C Ramachandra, as being the inspiration for SDB’s Khilte Hain. Touched on SD Burman’s mastery of tune composition and quoted Khilte Hain Gul Yahan (Sharmilee, 1971), and went further.
The second one was more interesting for me in the sense of what it threw out. But unless Raaja mentioned it, it wouldn’t be so obvious. One the revelation about Aathirambile’s source being Poovarasampoo Poothaachu. My takeaways from the interview were two. The interview is available online and one may look it up. This is about the interview between Gautam Vasudev Menon and Ilaiyaraaja.
