"Hold my Beer" - Illaiyaraaja's ultimatum
I don’t mind being biased because, let’s face it, it's the need of the hour.
It was the early '80s, and we were fortunate enough to be born at the perfect time, getting the best of both worlds. I was in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India, a city that had more highs than lows. There were a few things that would forever etch themselves in my memory.
- Would this guy named Kapil Dev be as good as Imran Khan?
- Why is the sports page always at the second last page in The Hindu? Can’t they put it on the front page?
- When is Balu Mahendra’s next movie coming out?
- Is Jaws really a true story?
- How could Rajini, who dances like a wooden spoon, have more hits than Kamal Hassan?
- Will India ever beat Pakistan in a cricket game?
- Why do I have to study B.Com when I can be a medical student?
But the mother of all questions back then was:
"What's next from Illaiyaraja?"
