Dear Ramnath
I was speechless and emotinal as I read the incident you had narrated !
See how MSV's creations have gone into the bone, flesh and soul of individuals !
Definitely your cousin's soul would have rested in peace as it parted carrying the wonder-numbers of MSV !!
I am yet to come out of the agony filled with sorrow and surprise !
Long live MSV and His Music !

DEAR Mr. RAMNATH
HOW DO WE CALL YOUR COUSIN. MSV RASIGAI! OR MSV DEVOTEE!
I HEARD ABOUT A BIRD WHICH LIVES WITH ONLY DRINKING RAIN WATER AND NOTHING ELSE. YOUR COUSIN COULD BE AN ANOTHER FORM OF THE BIRD WHO LIVED AND DIED WITH MSV SONGS.
I AM UNABLE TO EXPRESS MY EMOTIONS IN WORDS

I have felt even in my younger days (now I am 57) that I should hear the song 'sittukkuruvi muththam koduththu' while I am dying, because whenever I hear the song, I feel being lifted and carried away to another world, by the prelude, interludes and the humming. I often feel that if I die hearing this song, I will be taken to Sorgam - a place of bliss. When PS sings, 'Parandhu sella ninaithu vitten. Enakkum siragillaiye!,' we empathize with her (the heroine's yearning) while feeling the flying sensation at the same time. I think the preludes and humming have been exquisitely created to prepare for this sensation. I was surprised to learn, much later that several people have a desire similar to mine - of listening to an MSV number at the time of leaving this world. _________________ P Rengaswami (9381409380)

Dear Mr.Ramaswamy,
Here is the link for 'azhage amudhey' from Raja Malayasimman,which you had asked for 2 years ago! It is possible that you would have got the link for this from some other source in the meantime. I first heard this song sometime in the late 70's and I was stunned by the flow of musical beauty throughout this song and was surprised at the same time how this song had not become popular. This is one of those songs that will mesmerize you even at the first time you hear it! Perhaps the flop of this film (pre-1960, I think) should have eclipsed this song.

Another rare song is 'mounamthaan pesiyatho' from Ethirkaalam. I don't understand how songs like this and thedi thedi kaaththirunthen have not got the recognition they deserve. They are also like their creator! However,nowadays I hear 'mounamthaan pesiyatho' now and then, mostly in Kalaignar TV. _________________ P Rengaswami (9381409380)

Dear Sri Swamy,
Your grievance is understandable. But to your surprise, I want to say a few words. Both these songs were super hits those days. Thedi thedi kathirunden would feature every Sunday between 3.05 and 3.30 p.m. at the Virumbikettavai programme in Madras A and in the Ungal Viruppam of Vivid Barathi at 9.30 a.m. every alternative or third day. Same applies to Mounam than pesiyade. In fact, this song over took the other number Kallukku needhi solla mudiyadhu, which was not such popular. And the other melodious duet, ponnu en thane sirikkira by TMS P Susila did not get much recognition, which was overperformed by Vazndhu paarppom raa naina vaazhkkai idhu sulabam sulabam, by TMS LREaswari chorus. And I still remember sharply that a small bit of (mandolin or guitar I do not know) instrument in the song Mounam than pesiyadho after the first charanam and before the humming of LR Easwari for the second charanam, was used to be played in the radio advertisement.
And for your more suprise, I used to write request letters to Vivid Barathi and All India Radio for these songs and my name was announced for at least 3 to 4 times for each of these songs.

Dear Sri Raghavendran,
Your mastery of information not only on the songs but also on their popularity is astounding. I have also heard these songs only in AIR, that being the only source of listening to film music, apart from records played during festivals and functions, which were like a treasure those days and are perceived a nuisance now, due to a plethora of sources. I was living in Thanjavur District and had the advantage of receiving both Trichy and Madras stations of AIR, in addition to the most popular Radio Ceylon. We would be glued to the tiny Murphy radio set in my house every Sunday at 12 noon for Trichy and 4 pm for Madras A, the only slots for new Tamil songs. It would take 4 or 5 weeks for all the songs in a film to be played, by which time a few more films would be released. Vivith Bharathi came much later - around 69 or 70. Radio Ceylon was the only source, where we could hear all the new songs early. There would also be advertisements for some films,when we can hear all the songs - at least parts of them. When 'Ehir Kaalam' and 'Pen Endraal Pen' were released, Vivith Bharathi might have started functioning. I don't remember. Your mention of your listening to the songs in the radio had rekindled my memories.
Anyway, my grievance is that while some songs remain popular and are played frequently, some have gone into oblivion. This happens especially to Gemini Ganesan films. While fans of Sivaji and MGR make it a point to keep "their" songs ever alive, Gemini doesn't have that advantage. For example, we hear only 'Kaatru vanthaal' and 'valarntha kalai' from 'Kaththiruntha kangal.' Brilliant numbers like 'vaa endradhu uravu' and 'Thulli thirindha pen ondru' can be heard only when the film is telecast.
At least, we are keeping those immortal songs alive by discussing them. That "immortal" songs are to "be kept alive" is an irony! _________________ P Rengaswami (9381409380)

Dear Friends,
Nostalgia is a rejuvenator. Talking of TF Songs, Radio Ceylon [later Ilangai oliparappu koottuththabana varthaga sevai] remains an unmatched edifice especially in popularising TFM.Certainly VR and later MSV held the centre stage those days. All songs of Vennira aadai , Kalai koil, Aayiraththil oruvan had such a grand appeal that the show managers devised umpteen strategies like 'Isaiyum kadhaiyum', 'Jodimaatram' or some other interesting presentations rife in announcer skills in playing those numbers. Mayil Vahanan and his family members Senjumani, Sarvananda were quite friendly with listeners decades ahead of the now popoular FM channels. But, those announcers were immaculate with their grammar and presence of mind besides quick wit. Other popular announcers were Pararaja singam, Yoga Thillai nathan, Rajeshwari Shanmugam, Nadaraja sivam and of course the inimitable KAEYES Raaaja besides 'ungaLanbu arivippALan B H Abdul Hameed and the station Director Vivian Namasivayam. All of them profressionalized the art of Radio anouncements and made Radio listening a pleasure. All movie makers of TN knew the strength of Radio Ceylon and thought it wise to avail of the publicity strategies from there. In fact most TF songs were aired from Radio Ceylon ahead of the Indian counterparts. But listening to Radio that too film music was a silent affair for boys and girls ; any discussion about movies was regarded an evil by parents.Yet, we all defied our parents covertly / overtly at times, for MM's mesmerics. There is certainly an untold thrill about things enjoyed in private and defying disciplinary codes; movie songs were no exception. We remember with reverence the services rendered by Radio staations in general and that of R C in particular.
Warm regards Prof.K.Raman Madurai. _________________ Prof. K. Raman

Friends,
Later Radio Ceylon used to air a programme called "Iravin Madiyil" and broadcast lovely soothing songs befitting the night. As it was mentioned here, I too lived in Thanjavur then as a school boy, and had the privilege of capturing the Ceylon Radio with good intensity due to the proximity of the coastlines.
Many programmes had the starting music, interludes from the MM's famous music cassette, like Pongum poompunal, kurukkezhuthu potti, etc. They reverently addressed him as Mellisai mannar or maamannar and very rarely as MSV! A lesson for many announcers of today's TV channels.
