Oh! I was a kid then..

Oh! I was a kid then

awed by her presence

Friends we were

With boundaries blur

Years took us apart

Cattle in different cart

Still we were stuck

Mails and some luck

Time tried its best

Somebody did the rest

Cracks came in

And it never was the same

Maybe God made me grow

To become what am now

Maybe Time got bored

And wanted some more

Grow up, I did - a little

and became brittle

Still the Hugs I shared -

Smelt of her

Time kept its due

The day rain made a hue

The door bell rang

and there She stood.

Oh! I was a kid again

awed by her presence

With her smile - that made

the wait worthwhile

She spent moments

And bid goodbye

Days after that

My heart still lags

Time did not want

To take us apart

Rather to tell me

What it was I lost.

Thevar Magan - Magic of Kamal and Ilayaraja

I never get tired of watching the climax scene in Thevar Magan.

The point where Kamal wails in agony, when Nasser's mom cries out that all the milk she gave is spilt as blood now. Right there, Ilayaraja adds his chorus into the proceedings producing sheer magic for the next couple of minutes till the end credits roll.

Touching finish...
