6. maanida janmam meendum vandhidumo - kamas

All these are gems resulting from the explosive combination of MKT's voice with (mostly) Papanasam Sivan/G. Ramanathan's composing. One does not get satisfied however many times one listens to these songs ....... and talking about the song "vasantha-ruthu mana mohaname" which is a Ragamaalika consisting of four raagas, the song is beautifully composed and rendered with the names of the 4 raagas (vasanthA, KunthalavarAli, YadhukulakAmbodhi, Suruti) included in the lyrics. The song goes like this (the name of the raga is indicated in CAPS)

hero(MKT) : VASANTHA-ruthu mana mohaname!! malarndha malaridhaz manam kavazh thendral
(vasantha-ruthu)
heroine : malligai poongodi KUNTHALAVARAALI, moittha malar nagai kulunga vilangum (heroine is after nagai- ornaments)

hero : nagai paithiyam YADHUKULA(KA)MBODHIlum kanavilum nanavilum idhe sindhaiyaa?? (to which the heroine replies)

heroine : SURUTI konarndhu kodhuthu-alutthaarpolave sollukku panjamillai

(vasantha ruthu)
