#16 சின்னப்புறாவொன்று வண்ணக்கனாவினில்
(அன்பே சங்கீதா, 1979 )

The year when we started hearing a lot of S P Shailaja stuff. She has done humming in this song (possibly a reminder of the yesteryear V-R songs where LRE used to do some haunting humming).

SPB simply excels in this emotional song. He has good company - the sweet piano prelude and some guitar / strings stuffed stunning interludes.

A regular song in SLBC evening nEyar viruppams, this song too reminds me of a pleasant summer evening vacation day in the grand parents' home, enjoying that sweet Philips transistor radio What a care-free life with story books, library visits, evening walk, stories by grandpa etc! In addition there were some "summer-vacation-only" friends with whom one played trader game, cards and read comics books for hours and hours. chinnappurA onRu, accompanied by some radio noise can evoke all that nostalgia in me! I love my "birthplace / grandparents' home", O so much! (alas they're no more and I don't have the same sentiments even though my chithi still lives in that town).

I believe this song has Mr Coconut on screen (per tfmpage old posts) and I don't have the courage to watch the youtube, even for fun
