Kannukku Mai Azhagu
Pudiya Mugam (1993)
Beautiful lyrics, and difficult to get them right too, what with all the "zha"'s and "La"'s and "Ra"'s - very different from la and ra - as Tamizh speaking people would (or should) know. Am quite happy with my pronunciation, if you find mistakes, do feel welcome to point them out.

Thoda Thoda Malarndadenna
Indira (1996)
One of Rahman's loveliest songs. No Karaoke track to help out, so a very imperfect attempt for you to listen to.

Hello Mister Edirkatchi
Iruvar(1997)
This movie is among Rahman's classics if only for the sheer variety and range he touches in each of its songs. There is a spirit of adventure, glamour and a teasing cheer in this song, do we even need to say how Rahman perfectly gauges the mood of the moment and sets music accordingly?

Sundari Neeyum
Michael Madana Kama Rajan (1991)
After trying my hand at Telugu, it's Malayalam this time. One of my favorite songs...

Raat Shabnami
Jaanam Samjha Karo (Album : Asha Bhosle)
This song has a cheery, teasing flavor throughout, with Asha Bhosle's youthful voice adding magic to Leslie Lewis' peppy music; and yes, THE Milind Soman in the video, what more can you ask for?

Ninnukori Varnam
Agni Nakshatram (1988)
This was a cult song in the Maniratnam-induced era of "different" film-making; Amala dancing in PC Sriram's psychedelic lighting to Ilayaraaja's fulsome beats and Prabhu looking on - Somewhere Chitra's wonderful singing gets pushed to the background. Another very difficult song to sing, and I know I haven't done justice to it, a big ask, anyway, right?

Tu Tu Hai Wahi
Ye Vaada Rahaa (1982)
I love this song, it has layers of memories, nostalgia, bliss and fogotten wisps of thoughts. Lovely.
