Coming to the visuals, especially the painting in the prelude is done brilliantly with all different colors. The interludes could have done differently, still good. The song is a montage song which runs in the background where it is implied it is sung in their minds, but the best part of the visuals is when Nassar uttering the last line of song, கதையாய் விடுகதையாய் ஆவதில்லையே அன்பு தான். He stresses Love never becomes untrue by singing. Wonderful thought!
I would say this is the song of the thread mainly because when the music scenario is running away from him, Nassar persisted in Maestro , but didn't quite acknowledge initially, but Maestro surprising him during the recording and the rest is history. When everyone is turning away from him and still he makes everyone turn back to him through this song and also registers and reminds firmly once again that he is the only one to sought for this kind of authentic, soul-stirring, innocent, rich, sweet, in-depth melody. Even after we went round the world, the feel we get when we enter into our native place, its narrow streets, our people, our home is totally different. In this context, this composition stands tall as an Ambassador for World Music to show what an Indian heart is and how are its people and their love.
During 90s when the IT industry was booming like anything, not just in revenue, but even the way they approached the employees, the work ethics et al was very new to me. Every HR person/Managers will be reading some kind of inspirational books to update themselves and even use those principles at the interviews and at work. It kind of amazed me and I slowly got into it and discovered two powerful books by Anthony Robbins; Unlimited Power and Awaken the Giant Within. What a title! Just the title alone made me sit back. Tremendous knowledge gained from those books and would also say it somewhat shaped up my career. The reason I am saying this, only after you read the full book you will come to know the power, but this five-minute composition has so much power in it, that it can move mountains, by its love.
As I am away from my country and parents, I long so much to go back to meet them desperately. I feel my mother is exclusively sending her love and affection to me through an extremely caring and affectionate mother in the form of Maestro Ilaiyaraaja's music. In every composition of him, I see my mother. In every composition of him I see my father. In every composition of him, I see my love, brothers, sisters, relatives and friends. I see myself. I see my childhood. I see my future. I see the poor and rich. I see the pain and cry. I see the happiness and smile. I see every creature in this world. I see the nature. I see the sun, moon and the stars. I see the rain, storm and the clouds. I see the rainbow. I see the colors. I see and hear the primitive music of our universe, the Omkaaram. I also see how tiny I am in this world, almost invisible. I see our mother earth from beyond. I feel his music is omnipresent. I feel the silence. I feel my mother.
