This next olden goldie is from the movie Paava Manipu. A super hit movie at that time was made with all the right ingredients like Starring Sivaji Ganesan, Gemini Ganesan, Savithri, Devika... background score by Viswanathan-Ramamurthy, Lyrics by Kannadasan & direction - Bhimsingh, Wow! what a team.
This song was originally sung by PB Srinivas for Gemini Ganesan on screen. The comparison that Kannadasan makes in this song wherein he equates a women to natures best etc. is simply amazing, what an imagination!
As always, please listen and provide your comments.

Nandan Charitram Day
What a wonderful evening it was! I was blown away by the amazing talent our young Vidwans exhibited on 10th April 2010 under the auspice of Nandan Charitram Day sponsored by Dharma Palana Sabha, NY USA. Thanks to Mr. Swaminathan & Suseela Swaminathan for their commitment and untiring effort to have made this event a reality.
Children of all ages groups participated in this wonderful and amazing musical evening to celebrate the life story of Nandanar through select songs from Gopalakrishna Bharati's archives. The effort, practice & commitment shown by both children and their teachers his highly appreciable. This along with several other events that are organized to showcase our young Vidwans talents is an excellent opportunity for these budding musicians to grow and nurture our Indian culture and tradition.
Kudos to all the parents who amidst their busy personal schedule continue to stay committed to ensure that our culture and traditions are safeguarded.
While the evening was also an opportunity to raise fund in support of the much deserved Dayananda Sarawathi Ashram's initiative to re-initiate and energize the "Oduwars" in South Indian Temples, it provided an wonderful platform for these youngsters to learn and exhibit story of a pariah who became a saint.
I am confident our Indian culture and traditions are safe in these young hands and I am sure you'll agree once you see these videos capturing the moments on that wonderful evening of 10th April 2010 in Bridgewater Temple Auditorium, NJ USA.

Kaatrin Mozhi
This next Vairamuthu's penned song has to be amongst one of his best; amazing lyrics with imaginative meaning associated with it. A very simple melody composed by Vidyasagar and originally sung by Balram (I guess) for the film Mozhi.
I liked its simplicity and as soon as the original audio came out this song took a spot in my popular melodies playlist. Praskash Raj, Prithivi Raj & Jyothika acted in this movie which is one of those movies that did not do well in its opening week but started picking up momentum after the initial week by word of mouth. If you haven't seen this movie yet, its worth picking it up from your nearest library and enjoy a clean movie with some amazing acting by Jyothika.
This being one of the popular song amongst other good ones from this movie, I wanted to do this karaoke for a while now. As always, listen and enjoy and provide your comments.

Ithu Oru Ponmalai Pozhudu
This next song is one of those types that will remain evergreen and that something we never get bored of listening. Such awesome melody could be composed by none other than our favorite Illayaraja. Originally sung by melody mannan SPB this scintillating song remained at the top of the charts for many months (maybe even years), and rightly so.
A very simple melody composed with amazing use of instruments which includes violin & tabla.
Whenever & wherever I hear this song I break out humming along with it and this song simply lifts the moment.
I enjoyed singing this song and I hope you enjoy listening it and reminiscing those days...
As always, listen, enjoy & please comment.
