  May his soul rest in peace.
  The songs mentioned above had excellent lyrics and IR's superlative tunes only elevated them to new heights.
  Can someone please list other popular songs penned by the late MG Vallabhan?

  I think MGV has written the lyrics for one of the everlasting melodies under IR, sung by SJ and MV
  "Malargalile araadhanai
  Maalai neram
  Manangalile kaadhalin vedhanai"

  Good to know that some of the best of IRs' songs were written by MGV. May be he was over shadowed by VM.

  Am deeply affected by you and at times i will be mentioning about your jovial comments you made during our visit to your residence for a dinner. I admired him for his smile and his approach. Great man lived in his high spirits till his last moment.
  
  we deeply join you - archana, Abhishek and amma for this irreparable loss and praying almighty to give enough of mental strength.
