The irony and contradictions of life as noted many times over in his powerful verses,
The late Tamil lyricist and poet Kannadasan
Here is one which is quite thought provoking,
( I note this in the traditional Roman letters as this computer dose not help in typing it in Tamil)
"Buddhi ulla manitharellam vetri kanpethille,
Vettri petta manitharellam budhishali allai".

Kannadasan's lyrics were like nails driven hard into your forehead. Such truth.
This song especially is abounds with the truths of life. This song has 2 lines that I love.
"avan kanavil aval varuvaal avalai paarthu siripaan
aval kanavil yaar varuvaar yaarai paarthu azhaipaal "
:-)
Powerful message and so true!
Well, you know that i love almost all the songs of Kannadasan . esp, Oraayirum Parvayile... :-) Good old days, uh?
I've heard these lines before only because they are lyrics to some famous cine song.
Ah, the ignorant generation that I'm a part of!
@ Insignia,
You went a bit romantic , (and melancholy as well) with Kannadasan's lines.Sublime isn't it?
@ RGB
Yes you are right.
@ Bals
Oh ye " orayiram parvaile.......unforgettable those days
@ Raveena
That is the sad part the pity. We tend to shoo lyrics and film songs as trivial. But there where and are poets who pen them ,they are not just lyrics but poetry in sublime form.There is another piece,"meen shathal Karivadu, manithan shathal verum thode".
I am a die hard romantic; thats why :-)
Yeah I did go a bit melancholic as well; you know thats what happens most times. You like someone, but that someone likes someone else!!
Why cant that someone like you...weird ways :-)
Nice to know about him through your post :)
@ insignia
Perhaps that was why poets termed love - blind, sometimes devoid of reason.
