There were many avtars of this song also - one from Thambi Pondatti (Tamil) and Shiva Shankar (Telugu).

Tamil version:



Telugu version of the song (Endhirayyo) with Rock'ish type interludes.

Venky,

I love the Telugu version a lot. Superb energy and Swarnalatha. She is superb in this song.

[Bala (Karthik)]

Contrary to what you may believe, people did enjoy reading your experiences. Great work by you and all praise that you get is fully deserved.

Absolutely!!

[Bala (Karthik)]

I strongly prefer the karagam version of மாங்குயிலே பூங்குயிலே

App caught up on the story. Excellent sir, thoroughly arresting and yes it was incredibly funny at places. The skid/crash in front of the girls for example. And loved the nicknames you (or your colleagues) gave to them. Also your wife's 'sweet ellaam senju koduppeengalaamE' I can imagine And the last line of the story, like everybody said, very very touching. I can feel the (emotional) emptiness.

If there is something I want to point out (kaal amukkuradhOda niruthikkO karuthu sollaathannu sonnaalum) You can cut down on the detailing a little bit. The recent kozhipaarai bit for example.

And can you pls. translate "vAy nOkkAn pOyOdO?", "chumbichchu madhiyAkki" and "enthu rasam ee paiyyans"

And karagam, entirely with you on reserving this for the 300. What an earth-shattering album. Perhaps the *most* popular Raaja album ever. Keep it going sir, what an awesome ride it has been


Do you think we will hit 350?

mikka nanRi Nerd!

Especially for the constructive criticism Yes, me too started feeling uneasy about getting too local on details...though late, will improve on it for the rest of the journey.

With still some more albums in 1989 and another 2-3 strong years, it appears like 365 (one whole year of SPB-IR) may be possible...or, it will be quite close to that.

Translations :
vAy nOkkAn pOyOdO - literally : 'did you go to look at the mouths' (i.e. "eyeing around females?"...vAy-mouth, nOkkAn - to see, pO- go , all Thamizh words only)

chumbichchu mathiyAkki - 'pOdhum pOdhumnu solRa aLavukku muththam koduththAnga' (chumbanam - kiss, mathi - enough)

enthu rasam ee paiyyans - literally : 'what a tasty boys these' (enthu - what, rasam - taste, ee - these, paiyyans - boys, mark of appreciation for the "sweet-looking" boys, more because of my "Kamal-like-but-6-feet" buddy and not me also, we both didn't have moustache at that time)

nanRi, B(K) for the appreciation!

Reminded me of the 'rAsAvE unnai' phrase used with different 'tunes' in three movies (all hits) :

rAsAvE onna nAn eNNiththAn (thanikkAttu rAJA, SPS)

rAsAvE onna nambi intha rOsAppoo irukkudhunga (mudhal mariyAdhai, SJ)

rAsAvE, unnai vida mAttEn (araNmaNaikkiLi, SJ) - recently heard this song and liked it!
