#183 உதய கீதம் பாடுவேன், உயிர்களை நான் தொடுவேன்
(உதயகீதம், 1985 )

It sometimes fascinates me that people who don't believe in accountability to a supreme being (and hence no belief in "after life") too indulge in charitable works, as much as their opposite camp Altruism seems to be part of human genome / DNA. While this song's situation is not exactly related to altruism, at the minimum, the singer wants to be beneficial to another human before his life gets terminated. And, is it not a fact that all humans face definite termination - with just the answers to questions such as when / how much time left only being different ?

Well, while not as unselfish as my dad, me too have a humble history in this regard. If we limit to college days / activities, I'm reminded of the NSS stuff. (Though I wanted to become a soldier in the military during middle school days - heavily inspired by seeing dad in the 'home guard' uniform and his close friend, a towering police official, who called me 'anbu marumagan' who later on served as an inspiration to director of gentleman, I switched to 'love your enemies' policy in high school. Ofcourse, did serve as a boy scout in school but in college, NCC was a strict NO and NSS was the alternative).

Interestingly, the name of our hostel's NSS-chief was, "Isai arasan" No wonder we both were like 'eechchai & chakkappazham'. Well, we had planted 1000's of saplings, collected loads of clothes / classified / distributed at times of flood and such things. In addition, we had fun too - in an "adopted" village which was near Padalur in the Trichy-Madras highway. It was an evening of conducting entertainment to the villagers (song / dance / skit). The same "bread" bus taking us there and back. Memorable days!

Very soulful song, excellent singing by SPB and tabla playing havoc to one's heart! The interludes create a very strong emotion as well (flute at the end of first interlude is simply goosebump stuff)! A song that can evoke strong waves of thinking, like, why so much suffering, what is the purpose of life, what do I want to do with the remaining time of my life etc!

mmmm.... Uyarndha Ullam or Vikram?

Both films have Shri.Yesudas's hit song, Vikram has Kamal sings for Ilayaraja too.


I was listening to Vikram this morning while driving, wondering, when did Shri.Bala sung for Kamal in Ilayaraja's music lastly?

mmm... Heyram, Virumandi, MEx don't have S.P.Bala compositions

90s tamil cinema obsessed with Hariharan.
