Hi All,

Overall, almost everyone felt it was an easy quiz. The Q
which caused max trouble was

#28 - 'sevvanthi pooveduthen athil un mugam paarthirunthen' (Gokulam - Sirpi)
Though many found that the MD is Sirpi, only Arvind & Sundi identified
the song.

The other troubling songs were

#4 - 'unnai naan paarthathu vennilaa velayil' (Pattikaattu Raja - Sankar
Ganesh)
Surprisingly!

#12 - 'isayarasi ennaalum naane' (Thaai mookaambikai - Ilayaraja)

#13 - 'nilaave vaa vaa vaa' (Gokulathil seethai - Deva)

#19 - 'ulagthil siranthathu ethu' (Pattanathil Bhootham - Govardhan)
Some felt the clue was confusing, but quite a few had found it correctly.
I had given a line from the anupallavi :)

Some others felt I picked a relatively new song for #2. Sorry, I had assumed
it was well-known as it was discussed in quite a few threads on TFM Forum
and full lyrics were posted in Lyrics thread.

Apart from this, 

 * one team answered for #1 as 'maruthamalai mom'. Antha team-la
 yaaroda Mom maruthamalai-la irukkaangalo theriyalai..!
 * another team, instead of identifying the song, was giving *me* 
 a clue. I don't have a clue why..

ok, now the results:

Totally, 20 entries. I thought there would be a tiebreaker, but thank 
god, no ties. I haven't used the minimum-4-word rule also. (Actually, I had
thought of using it only in case of a tie.) Full points, if i was convinced the 
correct song has been identified.
