My Fav song - Isaiyil thodanguthamma

In the childhood, I used to take music as a simple thing.What is so special in that, does it really give fresh ideas, peace etc. But later on, when I entered my teenage I have started hearing more songs and tried to interpret the raagas dealt with the song and how magically the music prodigies use the raagas in the songs . Thanks Amma , for giving me the initial hints. Now I am being a full time mom, I thought I can also pass this on to my sweetie pie Manasa. Luckily , she also has the spark of music in her. So I have started teaching her the basics, though I am not that authoritative to teach.

Now lets come to the the song Isaiyil Thodanguthamma from Hey Ram.

IR not only the music maestro, but also a nice lyricist, the great example is this song .Wow, I could hear the song zillion times in a row. What a beautiful composition in the Raaga "Hamsanadham" (carnatic) / Vivahapriya/SarangaTharangini.

Only IR is the person ,used Hamsanadham in his compositions. Few of his are "Thendral vandhu Ennai Thodum" from Thendrale ennai thodu , the very popular " Sorgame Endralum" from Ooru vittu ooru vandhu , "Oom Namaha" from the infamous Geetanjali .

Now onto the lyrics:
