just realised i missed one line:
kaikkiLai kayyanumvet kaiyyOdaaynool kayyinil

kaikkilaikku ayyanum vetkaiyOdu aayntha nool kaayinil..
kaikkilaiy (oruthalai kAdhal)in ayyan - lord shiva (in kutRAla kuRavnaji).. he himself learnt tamil as puLavar iraiyanaar in thamizh sangam.. those books learnt by him were also carried in her hands.

mEgam pOl vaari vazangum kodai vaLLa vaangik koNda paakkal. kovaagana kOmaan (Lord shiva) vin aruL koRukindra kOvaigaL. thannai kauvinavargaLukku aruLum, kanikku avvaiyai aayntha - gowri kumaran (murugan)in adipatRum paakaL.

thus, our Lordess tamil is adorned. I praise her beauty and fame!

PS: its quite evident that i have seen many 'oLiyum oliyum' where the heroine dances with her lovely bharathanaatiyam dress on the hills

PS2: this was written for trip. later it was recited in our firsr (anniversary) batch day - 1st august 1995 ! our class 'AR Rahman' performed lovely background music for this. inspired by the film 'duet''s kavithai verse, he asked me to write something forceful in the end!
it seemed it did work out alright for our amateur audience, who don't have much depth in to tamil. 'kuch bhi chaLEgA'.

its not just that

thiru
thanks. another thanks for thiruththam.
i just wanted to show how my thought process and style has or hasn't changed over 10 years.

[Oldposts]

this is the work i had posted in ulagam thread, that pp had made above comment on.

a while back, i gave a topic for kaviyarangam in ulagam thread. only PP came out with a kavithai - she had a list, though i had picked up her first point 'thaaymai anubavam', as her first impression on hearing the topic. here is my contribution for that topic.

PS:
1. I didn't know about this competition, untill its an hour left to the closing time, when one of my urban Tamil friends, who writes her Tamil kavithai in English (b'cos her second language wasn't tamil in school - which i hate about some of the high class Madras friends), told me about this.

2. So, I thought about it as I was walking to my hostel mess for lunch and wrote in about 20 minutes. I also had won the first prize of 300 rs. among that small group of '?!tamil writers' in our college. I received the prize from the then minister 'thamizhkkudimagan' in our tamil mandram function.
