But Raja had no opportunity to consort and associate with the great poet. One such song was of course THEN SINTHUTHE VAANAM in PONNUKKU THANGA MANSU. When Raja was assisting other MDs, especially GK Vengakatesh, he had contributed in the composing of the tune for the songs of Kannadasan. There is an impact of Kannadasan in his life. So he is today an MD in a way, owing to this song that triggered off his determination to shape a clear cut future for himself. He always felt that this song of Kannadasan would be relevant and meaningful for all years to come. There and then he decided to shape his future and so decided to take up music for his career. He felt that the song emphasised on the need to make a decision for the future. Therefore Ilayaraja used to meditate on the meaning. Youthful days have been spent as a dream. There is a line in this song, which goes: It is this song that has made Ilayaraja what he is today, according to his own admission. Ilayaraja had sung this song and won awards in his school in Devaram. His all-time favourite song was MAALAI POZHUTHIN MAYAKKATHILE in the film BAGYALECHUMY. When Ilayaraja started to sing in his childhood days, he went for the songs written by Kannadasan and sung by P. That was the last song that Kannadasan wrote for us. The one song that would go down in history is Kanne Kalaimaane in MOONDRAAM PIRAI.
