The Pen's Might

Two songs that touched on me recently. 'Vaa Vaa En Devadhaye' from Abhiyum Naanum. My expectations from this movie was really high. Though it was good cinema, in person I thought it could have been far better. This isn't all that happens in a Father and Daughter relationship. What I felt was 'Emotions inside can't be pictured with a camera and how much ever real you try to portray it, it gets fancied'. But definitely Radha Mohan's move to make such movies is commendable. This song 'Vaa Vaa En Devadhaye' reminds me of my Dad. He was akin to the character Prakash Raj depicts. Wordses by 'Vairamuthu'. For a father to whom his daughter is almost everything. A favorite line is the one in the last charanam 'Pen Pillai Thaniyarai Pugandhadhile,Oru Pirivukku Othigayai Paarthu Konden'. The very thought of getting separated from his daughter is a pang for the father. The lines bear upon for a long while even after listening to the song. Sung by 'Madhu Balakrishnan', his voice is very soothing.

Vaa Vaa En Dhevadhaye

Pon Vaai Pesum Thaaraghaye

Pon Vaazhvin Pooraname

Pen Poovey Vaa..

Vaan Midhakkum Kangaluku

Mayiliragaai Mai Idavaa 

Maarbu Udhaikum Kaalgaluku

Mani Kolusu Naan Idavaa

Sella Magal Azhugai Poal,

Oru Sillendra Sangeetham Kaettadhillai 

Pon Magalin Punnagaippol,

Yuga Pookkalukku Punnagaikka Theriyavillai 

En Pillai Ettu Vaiththa Nadayaipola, 

Endha Ilakkana Kavidhaiyum Nadanthathillai 

Muththukkal Therikindra Mazhalaippola, 

Oru Munnoru Mozhigalil Oru Vaarththai Illai 

Thandhaikkum Thaai Amudham Suranthathammaa,

En Thangaththai Maarbodu Anaikkaiyile

Pillai Nilaa, Palli Sella, Aval Kaiyodu 

En Idhayam Thudikka Kanden

Deiva Magal Thoongaiyile,

Sila Deivangal Thoongugindra Azhagai Kanden 

Sittraadai Katti Aval Siritha Podhu, 

Ennai, Pettraval Saayal Endru Paesi Konden

Veli Naattu Aadai Katti Nadantha Podhu, 

Ival Meesai Illaadha Magan Endru Sonnen 

Pen Pillai Thaniyarai Pugandhadhile, 

Oru Pirivukku Othigayai Paarthu Konden

Another song that affected me was 'Pichaipathiram Endhi Vandhen' from 'Naan Kadavul'. I never knew IllayaRaja sir can pen. This song was really haunting for few days. Even now I haven't gathered courage to watch this movie. The inner meaning in lots of lines gets you thinking. The anguish, the cry within, it's a call to the creator. Pichaipathiram in the song refers to the 'body' the beggar carries along. I got to hear such sharp-eyed lyrics after a long time. Sung really well by 'Madhu Balakrishnan'.
