[mgb]

saradha.. romba azhaga ezhudhi irukkinga.. sanga ilakkiyangalil irundhu kavignar ezhudhiya veru sila paadal varigal irundhaal, adhaiyum post seyyungal.. naangal padithu payan peruvom :P

murali sir.. well written.. there are innumerable songs on finer aspects of love by kavignar

Remember என்ன பார்வை உந்தன் பார்வை, இடை மெலிந்தாள் இந்தப் பாவை?

[P_R]

Cue: debate over why "karuNai" in that context.

ஆணாதிக்க slip showing.
நாராயண நாராயண

I dont think its that simplistic.

Remember என்ன பார்வை உந்தன் பார்வை, இடை மெலிந்தாள் இந்தப் பாவை?

I didn't get the connection.

Inclined think as Plum said,that the character is a meek one and Kannadasan wrote the lines appropriately

I dont think so..

kavidhai yaar tharuvaanga ? pulavargal
parisu yaar tharuvaanga ? mannargal

pulavan periyavana, mannan periyavanaa.. status'la ? definite'a mannanthan periyavan.. so idhula enga aan aadhikkatha kaattugiraar kavignar ? karunai'nu andha pen kindal'a solradhaathaan eduthukkanum.. unnai vida ennudaiya effort and status adhigam, kuzhandhaigal petra matter'lanu :P

[NOV]

idhai innum yaarum crack pannalaiyaa?

not at all ... it will definitely be deeper than that.

on the surface what do you think of these lines...

உண்டென்று சொல்வதுந்தன் கண்ணல்லவா வண்ண கண்ணல்லவா
இல்லையென்று சொல்வதுந்தன் இடை அல்லவா மின்னல் இடயல்லவா

nice imagination

Ok. You mean saradha's interpretation ?
வை is also இடையினம். Well I am nitpicking.

mgb's explanation of கிண்டல் seems appealing. Just wanted to know if indeed the characterization were like that.

And anyway, in case it didn't seem adequately clear, I was kidding.

Once I was discussing a pAsuram with a reverend elder when he asked why I thought a particular word was used there. I said அழகா இருக்கு, அதே சமயம் எதுகைக்கும் சரியா வந்திருக்கு. He was outraged I could suggest something like that and ventured into the importance of the choice of the particular word. Since then I have usually been very careful.

on the surface what do you think of these lines...

உண்டென்று சொல்வதுந்தன் கண்ணல்லவா வண்ண கண்ணல்லவா
இல்லையென்று சொல்வதுந்தன் இடை அல்லவா மின்னல் இடயல்லவா

My interpretation isn't quite parliamentary
