From Raja Desingu

Paarkkadal Alaimemle PambaNaimele PaLLi KoNdaai.......





I have to watch this movie to bring back my memories of Senchi (Gingee) where I started school before Independence!

[rajraj]

No! You are not in Kugan's kitchen thread!

I have heard 'modhakam', 'paayasam', 'thEn' 'paal' etc in classical compositions. Not 'appaLam' !

This is not a movie song.



This is a composition by Ramana Maharishi rendered by Abhishek Raghuram in ragamaligai beginning with Dwijavanthi !

I like it and I thought I should share it with you!

படம் : மாலை சூடவா
ஜேசுதாஸ்
கமல், மஞ்சுளா ( கன்னடம் )

யாருக்கு யார் சொந்தம் நான் சொல்லவா ?

அதிகம் கேட்டதுண்டு. அந்தக் காலத்தில் படம் பார்த்த பின் வீடியோ பார்க்கவே இல்லை. இப்போ கிடைச்சது...

[madhu]

திருவிழா .. திருவிழா.. இளமையின் தலைமையில் ஒரு விழா

படம் : நாம் இருவர்
ஜெயச்சந்திரன், சசிரேகா
பிரபு, ஊர்வசி

From Dheivam

Marudha malai maamaNiye murugayyaa ................ by Madurai Somu in Daarbari Kanada




I like the emotional outpouring in Madurai Somu's renditions. He sang a song on the deity in Thirukkarugavur (ThirukkaLavur) near Papanasam. Thirukkarugavur was his wife's place ( I think). If I find the song I will post it.
It starts with 'Karpa ratchagi thaaye...'.

The first carnatic vocal concert I attended was by K.B.Sundarambal in 1953 in Mayavaram(Mayladuthurai now). The main piece was " Rama Nannu Brovara" in Harikambhoji. I was searching for the composition and came across

Murugan Endradhume......




In Rama Nannu Brovara she used 'meppulakkai kannathaavu.....'' for niraval. I liked the composition and started singing that line with my friends only to be teased asking 'enna bhashai idhu?' I did not know any telugu those days except for a few words!

The gramaphone in the video clip reminds me of the gramaphone my uncle had in our native village. It was an earlier version needing cranking and changing needles. The 78 rpm records were called plates. We used to bug our uncle to play plates (plate podunga)

Those were the days!

தென்னை வனத்தினில்
உன்னை முகந்தொட்டு
எண்ணத்தைச் சொன்னவன் வாடுகிறேன் !

உன்னிரு கண்பட்டுப்
புண்பட்ட நெஞ்சத்தில்
உன்பட்டுக் கைபடப் பாடுகிறேன் !

முன்னம் என் உள்ளத்தில்
முக்கனி சர்க்கரை
அள்ளிக் கொடுத்த பொன்மாடம் எங்கே ?

கிண்ணம் நிரம்பிடச்
செங்கனிச் சாறுண்ண
முன் வந்த செவ்வந்தி மாலை எங்கே ?


......பஞ்சு அருணாசலம்

Good selection Poem

This man gave some memorable duets for Rajini during the transition period from a Villain to a lover boy Hero

Some of those which still lingers in my mind are..

"vizhiyile malarndhadhu" from "bhuvana oru kELvikkuRi". "kaNgalukku viLaindha maangani, kaadhalukku vaLarndha poongodi", rajini's 1st movie as a soft hero and these lines do help that image isn't it ? contrary to sivakumar's character, rajiniku than kaadhilyai paarthaalE pOdhum.. and alas his love life begins and ends there.

"kaNmaNiyE kaadhal enbadhu" from "aarilirundhu arupadhu varai". "aayiram kaalamum naan undhan maarbinil saaynthiruppEn vaazhndhiruppEn", IR uses this as the bgm when rajini gets to see his love getting married to someone... andha varilayE rajini'oda valiya koNdu vandhiruppaar

and ofcourse how can i forget my favourite "pesa koodaadhu" song

[mgb]

good selections.. one more song from panju arunachalam which i like is "vaa ponmayile" from "poonthaLir"
"azhagE sugam vaLara vaLara
ninaivE dhinam pazhaga pazhaga
uRimaiyil azhaikirEn uyirilE kalandhu magizha
vaa ponmayilE"

enakkum Ramnad'than poorvigam.. but vaLarndhadhu madras.. summer holidays ramnad manaRparappilayum, veyyil'layumthan.. so ceylon radio pathi nallaavE theRiyum but madras'la ceylon edukkaadhu, vividhabarathi'thaan.. infact madras baashai'la "sevulu ceylon edukkudhu"nu sonnaalE, kaadhu sariya kEkkaamaa goiiingudhu'nu meaning
