சட்டென நனைந்தது நெஞ்சம் சர்க்கரை ஆனது கண்ணீர் சுகமாய் சுகமாய் ஒரு துன்பம் துன்பம் எத்தனை பேரின்பம்
எந்த வாசல் வழி காதல் நடந்துவரும் என்று காத்துக் கிடந்தேன் அது வானில் பறந்து வந்து கூரை திறந்து வரும் என்று இன்று தெளிந்தேன் தாவி வந்து எனை அணைத்த போது எந்தன் சல்லி வேர்கள் அறுந்தேன் சாவின் எல்லை வரை சென்று மீண்டு இன்று ரெண்டு ஜன்மம் அடைதேன்
துடிக்கும் உதடு கொண்டு துடைத்திடு வெட்கத்தை அணைப்பின் ஆதிக்கத்தால் வெளியேற்று அச்சத்தை சுகமாய் சுகமாய் கொள்ளையிடு என் உயிரை மட்டும் விட்டு விடு ...
This is one song i LOVE for the blend of music,the visual,the situation and mainly the lyric
One of the soul-stirring songs i have heard is'ANJALI ANJALI' from the movie DUET.A lot of us would have been hypnotized by the brilliance of Kadri’s sax, scintillations from S.P.B’s voice, the might of vairamuthu’s pen, and of course,the blend of Rahman's music.
It is about two men, brothers, who propose the same girl and their visions of their love.
-----------------
I still wonder if any other raga other than Maand can do this magic. After the mellifluous Sax intro, a cymbal and a bright acoustic piano join in. As he slowly expands the theme, the chords start their work and Chitra’s humming outlines the pallavi. Tempted by the sweetness, the bass guitar joins her.The theme is completed by the sax as the notes go high,followed by the piano!
The man, a singer, starts romantically, dedicating some anjalis,-flowers, songs, gold, and poetry,to his girl ANJALI. The Sax and the piano romance again.He then describes neatly, how he is immersed in this bond of love, through the fine example of the rain and the sea.
The chords follow through and He finally says he holds her feet and cries in a high pitch, yearning for her love!
And here starts Chitra’s mesmerizing Aalaap.When we regain our senses once it's over,The girl, ANJALI explains how love has entered her soul. First through music and then through tamil(meaning, poetry). A clear expression of how the singer(music) and his Sax player brother(a poet), both have proposed to her, in that order.
‘isai vandha dhisai paarthu manam kuzhaindhen
thamizh vandha dhisai paarthu uyir kasindhen’
Ah! Of course, what else can she do, than let her heart to get carried away by music and poetry?
The flute now comes into picture along with the tabla and takes us to the smile-on-listening-mode. Now comes the turn of the second hero who loves her. Isn’t he a poet? He says there is no wonder like her, and poetically describes the effect of reciting her name.
‘anjali perai chonnen avizhndhadhu mullaiye’
He feels there is no poetry without her,his 'kanmani'. He wonders if she were born with the moon or formed in the womb of a flower. His powerful happiness is clearly shown, as the strings take the last line to a greater momentum.The flute returns again and gives the finishing touches for the beautiful blend of music,love and poetry.
----------------------
Though it’s the normal triangular love story, the music and the singer’s voice in this, take the concept of love and expression of the persons’ feelings to a greater height. Be it an-all-lights-switched-off-night, or a pleasant dew-filled morning; this song enhances the beauty of music and in turn, love.
நீ தனிமை என்றால்,நான் துணையா? தூரத்திலா? நீ துணை தான் என்றால் ,நான் பேசவா ? யோசிக்கவா? நீ திரும்பி நின்றால் ,நான் நிற்கவா ? போய் விடவா? நீ போகிறாய் என்றால்,நான் அழைக்கவா? அழுதிடவா? நீ காதல் என்றால் , நான் சரியா? தவறா?

Veteran violin maestro Dr.Kunnakudi R.Vaidyanathan passed away on the 8th of this month.it was a shock for me to see the flash news at 10p.m. Known for his inimitable style and grace in playing the violin he made it possible that even a layman enjoyed his music. forced into music by his father,he was a force for many others to learn in his later years.
as a high-class musician,a composer,a teacher,a performer,he wore many hats.age,illness,whatever be the reason,his demise is a great loss to the music fraternity.he will be remembered by one and all till there is music in the air.
