IMHO, Mr Ponniyin Selvan can at the best be called "poor man's Mano"

OTOH, as the kuzhaloodhum kuLLan (NOM, chummA edhukai-kkAga, also the originial "Monsieur Bonaparte" short enbadhu prabalam), he is awesome!

Great support to rAsA in that role

will have to watch raajavin paarvayile just for the reason cited (neeye RR paathukoppaa). is that padam that much soora mokkai? but "Amman koyil ellaaame" - heart stopping melody and vadivukkarasi as vijay's amma - lights up that song..

Wow! Raja, Congrats to you.
I am very happy, S.D.Burman award for our Raja!

S.D.Burman- Geeta dutt album , I used it when my son was very young, end of the day when he cries, I played them, one particular collection, he slept so peaceful. what a relief after frustrating drive in the freeway, entered the garage, the kid woke up...thanks to S.d.Burman, nimmadhi.

aaj ki raat piya... was a huge hit with the kid! Waqt ne kiya...., minimalistic sujatha composition... kid gave up! God Bless!


chand phir nikla magar tum na aaye .... Lataji for S.D.Burman... emotive beauty.

These are the composers, I run around whole day, relax end of the day, get connected with emotions.

thanks, Raja.

Vinatha.

App..love this link..thanks.. I am a 'saappattu raaman' as well.. not necessarily eating in quantity though . I think only mOr kuzhambu is the original thamil kuzhambu .. chillies were a later day arrival and you can make mOrkuzhambu without it.. but not vaththa kuzhambu.. Even though I am a fan of both... It is difficult to get vatha kuzhambu right.. but these days some powders are available which are pretty good. you need to supply the sundakkai/maNathakkaaLi vaththal though.. The best I had was in a "mess" in thirunelvEli...you sit on the floor on a 'maNai' and eat out of a plantain leaf (ofcourse). The kuzhambu was more like very thick paste.. I mistook it for some pickle.. but what amazing flavor.. arisi appalam/fried javvarisi vaththal goes well with it.. hmm. I will go to some south indian restaurant for lunch now

Looks like Asha Bhonsle sang couple of lines from her tamil songs along with IR.

thanks,
