"MSV CLUB" - The Discussion Forum of MSVTimes.com

[ragasuda]

Dear Ram,
There has been discussions on Mellisai Mannar being honored with awards... He is beyond all that and in today's world, there is no body fit or qualified enough to award him. Instead, Why shall not we ourselves show the way?

Let us constitute an Award in the name of our MM. Let our fellow MSVians suggest a title and let the core crew select one from them and award the title to a chosen musician/ composer. And a list may be prepared, say five or ten and let our fellow MSVians vote for it. And whoever tops the list with votes be awarded the title. I feel it is also a part of our propagation of MM.

Raghavendran

Instituting an award in the name of MSV is the best tribute that can be paid to the master. This has been one of my three cherished desires for quite sometime (the other two being, starting a TV chaneel in the name of MSV and MSV composing music for Kamba Ramayanam, both of which I had shared in this forum.

I am a man of limited means but I believe in Big Thinking (with a capital B) The award should be the most coveted by any (film) musician. The value of the award should come not only from the type of award (read monetary value) but also the recognition and uniqueness the award would bestow on the receipient. To put it simply, it should be like Nobel Prize for cine music. I am confident that it will be possible to institute an award with such value with careful planning and building a sizeable corpus (through various methods.) And we should ensure that the award committee comprises of men of impeccable credentials as well as credibility.

It may take quite a while to bring this idea into fruition. But it can be done.
