Govt of India hikes fuel price

What is fiscal responsibility ? Why is the government more concerned about scoring brownie-points for its fiscal policies, than the population that it must govern? Ever wonder what would happen if we mimic societies of the so called developed countries?

Classical Tamizh - Semmozhi Tamizhmozhi

Here is the anthem composed by ARR, for the World Classical Tamil Conference. The anthem itself was penned by Karunanidhi. The song and music has the usual ARR class and touch. I am still trying to get a good grasp of the meaning of the lyrics here.

Pirapokkum ella uyirkum
pirandha pinnar
yaddhum oore yaavarum kellirrr
onnbadhu naazhi udupathu irende
uraividam enbadhu ondre
uraithu vazhndhom uzhaithu vazhvom..

theedhum nandrum pirar thara vaarai yenum
nan mozhiye nam pon mozhiyaam
porrai puram thallhi porulai podhuvaakave..
amaidhi vazhi kaatum anbu mozhi
ayyan valluvarin vaaimozhiyaam

SEMMOZHIYAANA TAMIZH MOZHIYAAAM (repeat)

orrarivu mudhal aararivu uyirinam varayile
unarndhidum udalamaipai pagirthu koorum
orrarivu mudhal aararivu uyirinam varayile
unarndhidum udalamaipai pagirthu koorum
thozhgapugal thozhgapiyamum
oppatra kural koorum uyar panpaadu
olikindra silamubum meghalayum sindhamaniyudane..
vazhayapathi kundalakesiyumm..

SEMMOZHIYAANA TAMIZH MOZHIYAAAM (repeat)

kamba naataalvarum kavi arasiyevai nallaalum

yethanayo aayiram kavidhai neivor tharum
thadai anaithukkum vithaaga vilangum mozhi

SEMMOZHIYAANA TAMIZH MOZHIYAAAM (repeat)

aagam endrum puram endrum
vazhvai azhagaaga vaguthalithu
aadhi anddam illathu irukindra iniya mozhi
modhi vazharum uyiraana ulhaga mozhi
modhi vazharum uyiraana ulhaga mozhi
thamm mozhi namm mozhi

SEMMOZHIYAANA TAMIZH MOZHIYAAAM

Vazhiya Vazhiya ve..Thamizh .. Vazhiya Vazhiya ve
Vazhiya Vazhiya ve..Thamizh ..
semmozhiyaana tamizh mozhiyaaam
