HAI EVERYBODY,

TODAY’S PROGRAMME HAD BEEN VERY EMOTIONAL IN THE MEGA TV . IT ALL STARTED WITH THE SONG ‘ENNAI YAAR ENDRU ENNI ENNI NEE PARKURAI” (THAT IS HOW TMS PRONOUNCE THE WORD ‘PARKKURAI’ AND NOT ‘PARKKIRAI’). I REMEMBERED I COMPOSED A SONG FOR MY 2ND DEVEOTIONAL ALBUM FROM THE INSPIRATION OF THE SHENOY BGM BEFORE THE SECOND CHARANAM. SO WITH THOSE THOUGHTS, TEARS STARTED COMING FROM MY EYES. I TRIED TO CONTROL. BUT THE MORE I TRIED TO CONTROL, CAME MORE TEARS FROM MY EYES. NOW I LOST CONTROL. I BURST. MY WIFE SAW THIS AND TRIED TO CONSOLE. BUT IN VAIN. FINALLY I GOT MY SENSE BACK.

THERE WAS A SURPRISE. Mr. AADAVAN (COMPERER) WAS ALSO IN TEARS. HE HAD TO USE HIS HAND TO WIPE OUT THE TEARS.

OUR MASTER SAW THIS. HE SAID “ROMBA EMOTIONAL AYITTEENGALA? ANDHA MATHIRIYELLAM AGAKKOODAADHU. NAAN VENA MOODAI MATTHAREN.” SO THE NEXT SONG WAS ‘CHIKKU MANGU CHIKKU MANGU’ TO CHANGE THE MOOD.

AFTER THAT SONG WAS OVER Mr. AADAVAN PUT A HOOK TO MSV.
“ORUTHAR INNORUVARIDAM ANBU SELUTHUVADHU EPPADI?’
MSV SAW THE TRAP. HE FELT HE IS NOW DRIVEN IN TO THE SAME TRAP “EMOTION”.

NOW CAME THE STORY ABOUT THE SONG ‘ANBU NADAMAADUM KALAOKOODAMAY’ FROM OUR MASTER.

I SHALL TELL VERY SHORTLY. ONCE KANNADASAN’S CLOSE RELATIVE WHO PRODUCED THE MOVIE “AVAN THAN MANITHAN’ TOLD MSV THAT THE SONG HAS TO BE SHOT AT SINGAPORE FLOWER SHOW DURING “MAY” OF THAT YEAR. HENCE IT HAS TO BE READY WELL BEFORE THAT MONTH. SO MSV TOLD KANNADASAN THE SAME REQUIREMENT. AS USUAL KANNADASAN WAS NOT MOVED. MANY TIMES HE REMINDED THAT ‘MAY’ IS NEARING AND IT HAS TO BE COMPOSED. BUT AGAIN KANNADASAN WAS NOT MOVED. MSV NOW HAS BECOME ANGRY. HE TOLD KANNADASAN ‘I HAVE BEEN SHOUTING LIKE ANYTHING THAT ‘MAY’ IS COMING BUT YOU ARE NOT COMING FOR THE COMPOSING. IF YOU DO NOT COME THEN I WILL BE FORCED TO ENGAGE OTHER LYRIC WRITER AND FINISH OFF THE JOB BEFORE THE MONTH OF MAY.

NOW KANNADASAN CAME. HE ASKED FOR THE TUNE. THEN HE SAID “ENNADA PERIYA ‘MAY’ ‘MAY’ NNU KATTHARE. INDHA NEE KETTA ‘MAY’ PATTU.’ MSV NOW ASKED Mr. ANANTHU HIS ASSISITANT TO SING THE SONG.

‘ANBU NADAMAADUM KALAI KOODA MAY’
‘AASAI MAZHI MEGA MAY’
‘KANNIL VILAYAADUM EZHIL VANNA MAY’
‘KANNI THAMIZH MANDRAMAY’.

LIKE THIS EACH LINE OF THE ENTIRE SONG ENDS WITH ‘MAY’.
NOW MSV CHOKED AND SAID ABOUT KANNADASAN ‘AVARUKKUM ENAKKUM EDHOO ORU INAM PURIYADHA URAVU. ‘NEE EPPADIDA ENNAI VITTUTTU VERA ORU KAVINGNANIDAM PATTU VANGALAM’. AVARUKKU ENMELA AVVALAVU POSSESIVENESS. HE WOULD JUST TELL THESE WORDS.

NOW HE BROKE DOWN AND TEARS CAME FROM HIS EYES. ‘EVELLAVU UYARNDHA KAVIGNAR NAMBALAI YELLAM VITTUTTU POYITTAR PATHINGALA?”

THERE WAS A SILENCE FOR A FEW SECONDS.

NOW CAME THE COUNTER PUNCH FROM AADAVAN. ‘NEENGA EDHO GNANI MATHIRI ENGALAI ELLAM EMOTIONAL AGAADEENGANNU SOLLITTU NEENGALE EMOTIONAL AGAREENGALE.’ MASTER COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR THE COUNTER PUNCH. HE HAS TO PULL OUT THE KARCHIEF FROM HIS SHIRT COLLER (ADHENNA STYLE COLLERUKKULLE KARCHIEF VACHIKKARADHU?). SO IT ALL ENDED WITH THE EMOTIONAL FEELINGS.

BUT I FOUND ONE MORE “PUNCH’ KANNADASAN KEPT IN THAT SONG.

THE 3RD LINE OF THE 1ST CHARANAM STARTS WITH

‘MANJAL VEYIL POLUN MALAR VANNA MUGAMAY’
‘MANNAR KULA THANGAMAY”
‘PACHHAI MALAI THOTTA MANIYAARAMAY’
PAADUM PUDU RAAGA MAY.

I FOUND THAT APART FROM THE LYRIC FOR THE CHARACTER HE ALSO IMPLIES ‘MELLIISAI MANNAR KULA THANGAMAY” AND ‘PAADUM PUDU RAAGAMAY” WHICH MEANS THAT HIS TUNE ALWAYS LOOK LIKE A NEW RAAGA.


THE 5TH LINE OF THE 2ND CHARANAM STARTS WITH

‘INDRU KAVI PAADUM EN SELVAMAY’



‘ENDRUM EN DEIVAMAY”

INDIRECTLY THANKING LORD KRISHNA FOR GIVING HIM THE ABILITY TO GIVE SUCH IDEAS FOR LYRICS.

THE 5TH LINE OF THE 3RD CHARANAM STARTS WITH

‘ANDRU KAVI VENDAN SOL VANNAMAY”
‘YAAVUM URAVAAGUMAY’

INDIRECTLY MEANS THAT THE LOVE AND AFFECTION BETWEEN HIM AND MSV WOULD BE AS TOLD BY KANNADASAN ONLY.

AND MSV CANNOT DECIDE ON HAVING ANOTHER LYRIC WRITER.

'KANNADASANAI KATTI MAYIKKIRADHU MSV YALA MATTUM THAN MUDIYUM.


SEE YOU ALL

Dear Mr. Murali,
'ennai yAr endru eNNi eNNi'
While recalliing the moments of emotional upsurge, some observations would have helped the point being driven home. The episode relating the emotional responses of Mr.Aadhavan -the compere was not the lone instant. Seeing Aadhavan in visible tears and impelled by the Nostalgia of his [MSV's] association with Kannadasan, MSV repeated personally singing the lines' nAn avar pErai dhinam pAdum kuil allava, enpAdal avar thandha mozhi allava' - a poetic refernce to Kannadasan; soon enough MSV had to take off his spects and wipe off the tear by kerchief pulling it from under the collar where he generally tucks his handkerchief. It was then that Mr.Aadhavan called for some 'sirippu' item.
Soon after the sng, 'Siriththu vazha vEndum' [rendered with female aetistes for children voices] MSV recalled that in the original recording no ladies were availed of for children interjects of laughter or lyric repeat. It was all done by Mr.Sadan anf Mr.Saibaba. As ever it was full of nostalgia from evry count.
Warm regards Prof.K.Raman Madurai.

DEAR PROF,
NOW I REMEMBER MSV SINGING THAT LINE 'NAAN AVAR PERAI DHINAM PAADUM KUYIL ALLAVAA' REFERING HIMSELF AND THE GREAT KANNADASAN.THANKS FOR EDITING THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS.

I LOST MY SENSES SINCE I WAS BURSTING WITH EMOTIONS. SO I COULD NOT RECALL THE EVENTS IN SEQUENCE.

BUT I REMEMEBER MSV WAS IN TEARS WHEN HE REFERRED ABOUT KANNADASAN'S POSSESSIVENESS TOWARDS HIM AFTER THAT SONG 'ANBU NADAMAADUM'

Dear Mr Murali,

Join the club. I too was in tears when MSV narrated the "Anbu Nadamadum" sequence. Actually, due to a power cut in my area, I missed the beginning of yesterday's "Enrum MSV". The power came back only when Athavan was shown wiping away his tears, which I think, was immediately after the discussion on "Yennai Yaar Enru Yenni Yenni". I haven't been this moved emotionally for years.

I think most of the MSV fans would have been in tears after watching ENNAI YAAR ENRU song. couple of weeks back I saw NINAITHATHI NADATHIEYE song . Great number and jazz based song. I expected MSV would throw more info about this cmposistion but no special info from MSV. My point is this song was composed during 60's with great orchestra and chrous but felt disappointed that Muscial GOD not discussed about it.

DEAR RAMESH,

THE FIRST THING WHAT I DID AFTER HEARING THAT SONG WAS TO TRY THAT OPENING BGM IN MY KEY BOARD. BRILLIANT THE WORD IS NOT SUFFICIENT.
