This blog has been shifted to music of ilaiyaraaja .
Since 99% of the posts published here consisted of Ilaiyaraaja's compositions ,
I felt that the blog should no longer be in my name i.e., kumarsplanet .
I decided to create a new blog with the name music of ilaiyaraaja
and continue to post in the same .
Regards,
Kumar.
