Kurai Ondrum Illai by MS

Sitting idly at home, out of blue, I  remembered MF Husain's painting of M.S. Subbulakshmi amma. And then a quick youtube search on her got me 2 of my favourite songs - "Bhaja Govindam" and "Kurai ondrum illai".

Out of the two I tend to like Kurai Ondrum Illai over Bhaja Govindam because of the pure tamil lyrics you'll encounter in that song. The song  itself, written by C. Rajagopalachari (remembered as Rajaji), is of a very recent origin and got popularized by M.S. singing this song at the United Nations in 1969. Ironically, this is the only composition of Rajaji which is famous in the classical music circles.



You can get the lyrics for this song in this wiki page. Listen to this song and you'll simply like it.

For want of a nail

Yesterday, I told my friend that we usually miss out on small things when working on a bigger issue and that would ultimately lead to failure. It reminded me of a rhyme I had learnt in my formative years called "For Want of a Nail".  This rhyme is sometimes quoted to explain butterfly effect and chaos theory. For want of a nail the shoe was lost. For want of a shoe the horse was lost. For want of a horse the rider was lost. For want of a rider the battle was lost. For want of a battle the kingdom was lost. And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
