Golden Words of KANNADASAN

[Sudhaama]

Dear "tfmlover"




And ... I am NOT A FEMALE

My Name is NOT SUDHAMMMA... but SUDHAAMA... a Male.

Another Name of KUCHELA, THE FRIEND OF LORD KRISHNA.

[RAGHAVENDRA]

காவியத் தாயின் இளைய மகன்
காதல் பெண்களின் பெருந்தலைவன்
பாமர ஜாதியில் தனி மனிதன்
நான் படைப்பதனால் என் பேர் இறைவன்

மானிட ஜாதியை ஆட்டி வைப்பேன் - அவர்
மாண்டு விட்டால் அதை பாடி வைப்பேன்
..
நான் நிரந்தரமானவன் அழிவதில்லை - எந்த
நிலையிலும் எனக்கு மரணமில்லை...

---- என்ன சத்தியமான தீர்க்க தரிசனமான வார்த்தைகள்...

இன்று மட்டுமல்ல, என்றும் உன்னை நினைவு கூர்வோம்...

Besides 'antha sivagamiyin maganidam' Kannadhasan has also written the song 'sendru vaa magane sendru vaa' for Kamaraj when the latter was invited to attend a meeting in the United Nations. Being illiterate in English he had inferiority complex but Kannadhasan prompted him through this song. The other song was 'ambigaye easwariye ennai aalavantha koil konda kungumakari' in 'Pattikaada Pattanamaa' where the line 'sivagamayin umayavale muthu maari un selvanakkum kaalam undu muthu maari, maharajan vaazhga endru vaazhthu koori intha makkal ellam koora vendum kottaiyeri' was aimed at Kamaraj to recapture the Chief Minister's seat.('kottai'in this context means the CM'S fort). Another song in 'Paadikaatha Meythai'was also meant for Kamaraj. The song is 'padipathinaal arivu petror ayiram peyr undu aanal padikaatha meythai ellam paarinil undu'. When Kannadhasan fell out with Annadurai he wrote the song "annan kaatiya vazhi amma' for the film 'Padithal Mattum Pothuma'and the same year (1962) 'engiranthalum vaazhga' in the film 'Nenjil Oor Aalayam' also for Anna. When he lost the elections he wrote the song 'yaarai engey vaiputhu endru yaarukum theriyile' (Bale Paandiya)and when he temporarily decided to quit politics in 1962 he penned the song 'satti suttathadaa kai vittathadaa' (Aalayamani).
