When I was doing UG, my super-senior friend Ronald introduced me to MLTR and I was totally taken away by the music then. About 15-years later, I'm feeling same ecstasy when listening to Zac Brown Band 's Whatever It Is and Highway 20 Ride . The voice and music are amazingly cool.

Ever since I have given my Humble Award to Gaana Rahman , the Gaana singer whom I thought will get popular soon, I keep my fingers crossed --'coz the fame reaches only very few. For instance, many people forgot Devendran, the music composer of Vedam Puthithu . I had to first create a Wikipedia page for M. M. Keeravani , whom many people can't realize that he composed the classic Devaraagam

After I have given my Humble Award to RJ Joshua , I have noticed that many people are visiting my blog when they're searching his name in search engines. I used to listen to his English programs on AIR Chennai FM sometime ago; but couldn't get his details on the internet for a long time. Recently I have spotted his photo in potofthots.com and I have stolen that photo too:-) Hope, this little photo of him (with Sanjay Pinto sitting in front) would give good feeling to his fans and well-wishers.

Recently, I have been watching Cyril Takayama 's magic show in AXN channel. That reminded me of T.K.Vadivel Pillai 's magic show in Jaya TV. I have searched Vadivel's name in Wikipedia's Indian magicians article and to my surprise, his name was not present. In my opinion, T.K.Vadivel Pillai's magic is superior than Cyril's--especially, in one show, he could tell the name of the person whom the girl was thinking. Not really sure, why T.K.Vadivel Pillai could not be as popular as Cyril. Sidenote: I'm yet to see David Blaine 's magic and I still have a gut feeling that Vadivel's would be better.

Discovery Channel's Tamil Interpreters are really great; the translation, the voice and modulation are amazingly superb--light years ahead of other "formal" Tamil Channels. I wish they'll be credited with their names in the screen.

Yazh Sudhakar , of Suryan FM is the best radio jockey for Tamil. His modulation and pronunciation are brilliant. His voice is really superb amongst other crappy "fast forward voices". Links: யாழ் சுதாகர் கவிதைகள்

Recently, I don't listen to RJ Joshua of AIR FM, Chennai (I'm not even sure if the program still exists). As the way he conducts the program especially for his positive words, he's the best RJ I have ever tuned to. I wish him to be more famous.

OptiPerl , the best IDE for Perl and best of any IDE I have ever seen. I quite often praise it for it's "Box & Line coding" which I haven't yet to see in any editor--even in Delphi

Dr. A.N. Sreevatsan , ENT specialist located in Adyar, Chennai is one of the gems available in medicines. No assistants in his consulting room and he'd take at least 15mins for every patients. So far I have referred many and all are happy with his approach. Every wannabe doctor should visit him personally to understand his approach. I wish him to be more famous than now.

When I was studying 10th standard, I had a bet with my friend Nalin that A.R.Rahman will become very famous (He was telling me that no one can beat Ilaiyaraaja ) Since then I thought about appreciating the people that I think are the best and finally here is the effort. Some people are yet to become famous--but I strongly believe and wish that they'll become famous sooner! Gaana Rahman - Gaana singer Dr. A.N. Sreevatsan , ENT specialist OptiPerl , Windows based IDE RJ Joshua , Radio Jockey of AIR FM, Chennai RJ Yazh Sudhakar , Radio Jockey of Suryan FM, Chennai Discovery Channel's Tamil Interpreters , for the superb Tamil voices & modulations Savukku, WikiLeaks of India , for the brave news coverage on hidden politics of India, especially Tamil Nadu state

Gaana Rahman (I also think, his name is Rahmankhan or so) was a participant of "Gaana Kyuil Pattu" program on Kalaignar TV . The judges didn't select him mentioning that he didn't maintain his pitch. But, I like(d) voice very much and even sent a recommendation email to Mr.James Vasanthan . Hopefully he'll become famous sooner.
