To a genius who went by the name of Subramanya Bharathi.

ps: Thanks to Rajeev Menon and Sun TV for reminding me that a tribute to this great man was long pending...Thanks also to TFMPAGE, my parachute in case of any movie emergency and P*****k from RECT

pps: If you didn't get the meaning of the lyrics, plssss plssss set aside a good 15 minutes, find out a Tam friend and ask for a translation - believe me the trouble will be well worth it !!
