Here's one of my favourite Tamil -- or should I say Tamizh? -- songs belonging to my favourite era, 1975-85. Sung by S.P. Balasubrahmanyam and S. Janaki. Enjoy! -- you don't need to understand the language to do that.
The early refrain goes like this: have oyster and pearl; but not the time to open it got brains and savvy; but not the time to write poetry and later on during what sounds like a second movement, the tune reminds me of an old HIndi song !!
One of my favorites too and I like the song in the Hindi version ( Zara si Zindagi)too. ( tam tim tere na-ga ma pa- pa ma ga..Sargam ke phoolon se geeton ki bane maala)
Dear Sree ghosh, VaNakkam Spell Tamil as Thamil, not Tamizh as the last one has a link with the bad Hindi word,Bath-thamizh. Despite knowing that years of serious coverage of news have left you with no more appetite for the serious, I do wish to make you to read patiently my very serious blog below having just one article:Pre-Muhamadh Mkkaa and do leave a comment there. http://dhaamu.blogspot.com Thanks, S.Damodaran
