My Template and Design

One of my experiments this year for Tamil Sangam Michigan was the attempt at E-sing the Offline Kadhambam. Created a version with lots of pictures, links and scrolling across pages. 

Created the HTML version with Prev Page/Next Page logic.

Oru Kungama - Awesome Song Awful Dancing

Aaradhanai - a love triangle starring Nizhalgal Ravi, Suman and Sumalatha has two awesome songs. One of them is a beautiful number by SPB and SJ - Oru Kunguma Chengamalam. 

Check it out here.  Link

First just hear the song and do not watch the video. Enjoy the song to your heart's delight and then the next time watch it to see an awful pathetic picturization of the song. Horrible dancing by Nizhalgal Ravi complement the total misery of watching this woeful grave turning performance of a truly amazing song by Illayaraaja. One of his masterpieces.... Will live in time....Forever.

(P.S -- wish I had his sunglasses to complement my scarecrow wardrobe)

Also in the movie is a wonderful song by Raadhika - Link

Poovannam - Azhiyatha Kolangal - various iterations

This masterpiece from Salil Chowdhury sung by P Jeyachandran and P Susheela from the Balu Mahendra movie Azhiyatha Kolangal. As usual the base melody was used in other languages first before coming over to Tamil movies.
