kavignar tells in one song
aalamarathin vizhudhinai pole
anaithu neeyum uravu thandhaaye
for depicting ones wife

and in another song
aalam vizhudhugal pol uravugal aayiram vandhumenna
verena neeyirundhaai adhil naan veezhndhu vidaadhirundhen

now the question is whether a wife should be "aalamara vizhudhu" or "aalamara vEr" ?
answers please :P

I think it depends on what stage/age a person looks at his wife..

when he is young he requires a friend who shares, cares and motivates.. when he is old he requires a strong support who will not let him down even when others ridicule him

remember vizhiyE kadhai ezhudhu ... the title cards show the lyricist as Valee.... but everyone knows it was written by kavignar.

It was written by Valee, and everyone thought it was by Kannadhasan. Valee had to reiterate that many times, even in his book, Intha Nootrandil Naan.

I dont think so Rakesh.

MGR had a clash with Kannadasan and he had stopped writing for MGR films. However when the situation arose in Urimai Kural the director sought Kannadasan who penned the lyrics. This fact was hidden from MGR.

However, recognising the style of the lyrics, MGR knew it was written by Kannadasan. He called him up, thanked him and made up with him.

The situation you have outlined is for the song tharaimEl pirakka vaiththaan, which was indeed written by Vaali, altho many people think, even today, that its by Kannadasan

[NOV]

Incidentally Kavignar was impressed by this stanza and presented Vaali with a gold ring!

கட்டிய மனைவி தொட்டில் பிள்ளை
உறவை கொடுத்தவர் அங்கே
அலை கடல் மேலே அலையாய் அலைந்து
உயிரைக் கொடுப்பவர் இங்கே
வெள்ளி நிலாவே விளக்காய் எரியும்
கடல் தான் எங்கள் வீடு
முடிந்தால் முடியும் தொடர்ந்தால் தொடரும்
இதுதான் எங்கள் வாழ்க்கை

I thought it was chain . According to the ethukai moonai arasan, Kannadhasan heard it in the car, and immediately got it rerouted to Valee's home and presented him with a chain. Oh heck, chain, ring, we know Kavignar, the kuzhanthai manam kondavar, never hesitated to praise others and never took offence for anything.

Okay. Just for other's record, word from Manisegaran sir found here. Just look find the word "vizhiye".

But I am sure Valee took ownership of that song in his autobiography. Antha book-um illa ippo. That's why, never borrow books to others

another interesting tidbit:

Kannadasan was touring Malaysia, and the film Gowravam was delayed as the songs were not written at all. Panju asked the producers to give him the chance to write for the entire film. The producers were grat fans of Kannadasan and refused. As Kannadasan returned, he was told of the scheming by Panju. Kannadsan go so wild, and immediately he found a way of hitting Panju and a situation was already there in the film The song is "Palootti Valartha Kili"
