S called. Before he started speaking, I knew what he’d say. Let’s meet up and study something. Yeah ! it’s been over a month since 2nd semester started and we hadn’t even looked into the books list. EC1 was a couple of weeks ahead. It was time.
He was in Stanford meeting up with some friend. He wanted to catch up with me in the library after lunch.
S - “Library le meet pannalam. Books list eduthuko. We’ll find them there and also plan for studying for this sem. ”
Me – “Wokay. I have some work in the bank. Athu mudichittu, I’ll leave to library.”
As planned, we met in the library but couldn’t find the books. They’d all been taken. After talking about textbooks for a while, the conversation just slipped into movies and songs.
Me - “Have you heard this song ‘Ragasiyamanadu kaadal’ ? A gem of a song. I was listening to top 10 on raaga yesterday and came upon this .. Quite accidentally”
S - “Haven’t heard of it. New song ? Which movie ?”
“Kodambakkam”
“k. Have you listened to ‘New york nagaram’ ? A R Rahman is back to Tamil. He’s simply awesome. You heard his other songs ?”
“Sure. I love his songs.”
Soon we were talking about movies. He’s a big time Kamal fan. So spoke about the much awaited ‘Vettayadu Vilayadu’ and old hit movies like 16 Vayathinile , Apoorva Sahodarangal, Indian …
I sometime feel that talking about a movie brings the best out of a person. Being a movie buff myself, I've felt really happy whenever I’ve lost myself fully into a movie. A good movie is like a drug. When you’re seeing it the surrounding just disappears. Same with a good song. You could close your eyes and totally get lost in it.
As I was listening to A R Rahman’s ‘New York Nagaram’, I thought I’d write down my top 5 movies and songs. Also, I’d been wanting to put such a list in orkut for long.

Glad :) Wondering if you like "Hari muraleeravam", songs in His Highness Abdullah and the ones "Kaliveedurangiyallo Kalivakku urangiyallo". How about "Chandrikayil aliyunnu chandrakantham" and the oldies :)
Of course. Most of the songs in the movie were superb. Is hari muraleeravam the song that's sung during the competition ?
Lalettan and Nedumudi are a great combination. Seen Bharatham ?
I like the the soft tune of
Kaliveedurangiyallo..
kalivaakkurangiyallo
Oru nokku kaanuvaanen
aathamavu thengunnallo
havent heard the other song.
Its tough to read the manglish & figure the songs from the list....But one song song for sure I can agree with is "Winds of Change" I havent heard it for yrs...simply coz i dont have the mp3 or CD of the same...Anyday no song will replace that for me :)
Manivathoorile Aayiram Sivaraathrikal.. A great song!! was searching all over the net to get a good quality file for the duet version.. no good.. Can yoiu help me find one? Or better still post a link to D/L it? or even better upload it to some file sharing site and post thge links? Will be very gratefull if you can.. thanx.
