Often people say that good music can relax your soul. People have different choices when it comes to the type of music which they feel relaxes them. But when it comes to tamilians, I can almost guarantee that 90% of people would agree with me that Illayaraja's melodies are soothing to the ears. During my college days, often during late nights, I would have my hostel room windows and later my house windows open, letting in the beautiful Tanjore breeze and Illayaraja's melodies playing on the radio or on my computer. That was one of the best relaxations I could ever have. Today again, I am doing the same, listening to some of Illayaraja's melodies. Illayaraja is a living genious, I am sure everyone would agree. :)
