  i heard somewhere that for a malayali, one of his favourite posession is dasettan and his melodious voice, being one myself i know its true for me. however when i hear our own people make statements like "he is old and should stop singing" it hurts me. this where we should take a leaf from our north indian friends. look at lata and asha, they are still revered and any of their new songs are sought after and enjoyed. people are only worried how long they can continue to hear their voices. as everybody would have noticed dasettan is slowly but surely reducing his no of songs being sung. don't mistake this as he is losing out, but as in a recent interview revealed bu m sitara and m jayachandran it is of his own choice. i willing to debate in any arena that when it comes to imparting emotions into a song there is nobody in the current lot of youngsters who comes anywhere near him. to cite an example, munthirivave in hariharan pilla is beauty. the way he sings" kujava alle" is so beautiful. innale ente, in baletan is another great song where the love for a father flows out.
  
  yes there is no denying that he is getting old as everyone must, but his singing prowess has still a lot of years to go.
  asked about the new singers to m jayachandran upcoming music director, he replied that "we are pampering them" he cited an example of a guy who asked for a pitch corrector for singing. in his words" people like dasettan has been singing for over 40 years and even with technology available today still does'nt ask for pitch correctors"
  
  in my opinion we should all pray to the almighty to give dasettan a long and healthy life and that he contunues to enthrall us with his magical voice.

  to continue on my musings earlier, i would like to give comments by a few contemporaries of his.
  
  mg sreekumar: on being asked what his future plans are " i would continue in the field of playback till i am about 50-55 and then shift to carnatic/devotional". the reason: " at that age it becomes difficult to convey emotions especially romance, only geniuses can still do that like in omana kinnaram - kandu kandu kandilla -ishtam" this from a once detractor of dasettan.
  Chitra: " there was an instance when for a duet with dasettan i was supposed to sing some swaras as required by the mdirector, try as i might i couldn't get it right. the md got fed up and requested dasettan who all the while was waiting patiently to try to teach me. dasettan with love and patience sat with me for almost 30 min and made me learn. any other person would either have walked off or adamonished me"
  mammooty: " dasettan is not a person for me he is equal to the god of music"
  SPB: " i used to feel an inadequacy in singing due to my lack of formal training in carnatic, one day i approached dasanna and he admonished me and said that u are so naturally gifted that if you are interested, within 6 months i can train u in carnatic"
  ONV:" my first film song lyric was polthingal in kumara sambhavam and i was fortunate to hear it sung by the divine voice of das"
  
  for info all this was excerpts from interviews on various channels on TV

  SREE... Iheartily support you
  I also feel really hurt when somebody says to stop Dasettan his singing.
  How can we say to stop while he is excellantly singing new ones like the
  Maya sandhye in swapnakkoodu and the sweet mellow
  melody innale in balettan.
  Can any body forget the sweet Aaroral in pattalalam.
  I am also with u praying to the almighty to give a long carrer to dasettan.

  Shivan, thanx. all these new songs r my fav's also, to add afew, anuragamananda-anyar, thirieruyunnoru sooryan-gowri shankaram, and if u haven't heard the latest tamil song of his adada in pithamagan, music illayaraja u shld. it stands really tall near to ramakatha or hmuraliravam. ilayaraja has excelled in music and dasettan in singing.

  Sree, I agree with you totally !
  
  Inspite of his age, his voice is only getting matured and better, like old wine ! His recent melodies like Kandu Kandu kandilla, En Amme & Inthale Ende Nenjile are all evidences of this fact. His recent tamil number 'Adada' in 'Pithamagan' is another song where Dasettan proves that he can still go non-stop at such high pitch !! There is absolutely no reason why he should stop singing and we are really fortunate that he continues singing in his divine voice for many years to come !
