Read the very insightful transcript of Enn Kanavar, a speech by Sellamaal Bharati[not devayani] where she recollects her life with the ‘Poet of the century’. And as usual, favorite lines from this dude’s poetry –
Ooyuthal Seiyom Thalai Saayuthal Seiyom
Unmaigal Soalvom Pala Vanmaigal Seivom

Guru,
Chenthil has come up with a good initiative of translating bharathiars poetry. Did you check it out? I think we all should translate atleast one 🙂

My fav’s are the lines
“Kala unnai siru pulena madhikiren,
En kaalaruge vaada, satre unnai mithikiren”
Bharathi Bhaskar said in Nayandi Darbar that she admired this man for his abosulte lack of fear …guess those lines by the man himself suggest that…..Incidentally these were the last lines spoken by Sayaji Shinde in the movie Bharathi.
A perfect ending to the great man’s life(in the movie).

Even if another Bharati is born and living amongst us it will take atleast 20 years after he is dead for us to recognise the “Agni”… That is the way we have been cursed (and not the Bharatis…)

what – no happy birthday for rajini…boo hoo….
just kidding – happy to see no happy bday for rajini posted here…
i heard that tv channels are falling over each other to showcase rajini-thaatha’s b-day. it’s sad that tn celebrates’s sooper star’s b-day in a big way while barathiyar is relatively ignored…barathiyar to barathi-yaar?
nona

ps: i am sure one of sooper star’s fans will be quick to remind me that its not sooper star’s fault that his b-day is on dec 12…

Aaha, what a coincidence – Just this Saturday I was missing my Bharatiyar kavidhaigal book in India and scoured the local library – finally got an English translation of his poems!
Rock on Bharathi!
