Asai Asai from Dhool

This is yet another song set to really nice tune...

I never knew that arugampul is something that the goats ate... I only knew that there was some connection between that and Ganesha because it was always featured during Vinayaka Chathurthi and I was always curious how one told the difference between regular grass and arugampul...

Netru Illadha Matram from Puthiya Mugam

Some of the lines make you think really hard... Kavithai Variyin Suvai artham puriym varai... Is this really true? Sometimes it is the understanding that makes one appreciate the kavithai better...

Vaanam illamale Bhoomi undaagalaam - I am sure several scientists will take issue with this..

As I analyze this more I am really having my doubts about why I think this is a good one... Which proves the point "Kavithai Variyin Suvai artham puriym varai".

Moolai Thirugum from Kana Kanden



This song by Srinivas and Kalyani Menon is really nice. Vidyasagar's music for this is brilliant... I love the lines "idhu aAn nOyA peN nOyA kaaman nOy thaAn enpOmE" where kaaman can mean Cupid or it could simply be the English word Common...
