Narumugiye - Iruvar Song


Today I am just after a concert of Unnikrishanan at Bowman Hall. It refreshed my memory of one of my favourite movie Iruver. I was so impressed by the richness of Tamil in Iruvar song. Today I got the background information on that song, that made me love that song even more.

Narumugaye Lyrics from Iruvar
நறுமுகையே நறுமுகையே நீயொரு நாழிகை நில்ளாய்
செங்கனி ஊறிய வாய் திறந்து நீயொரு திருமொழி சொல்லாய்
அட்ரைஇ திங்கள் அந்நிலவில் நெற்றித்தாள நீர்வடிய கொற்றபொய்கை ஆடியவள் நீயா (2)
திருமகனஎ திருமகனஎ நீ ஒரு நாழிகைப் பாராய்
வெண்ணிறப் புரவியில் வந்தவநேய் வேல் விழி மொழிகள் கேளாய்
அட்ரைஇ திங்கள் அந்நிலவில் கொற்றபொய்கை ஆடூகயில் ஒற்றப்பார்வை பார்தவனும் நீயா(2)

மங்கை மான்விழி அம்புகள் என் மார்த்துளைததென்அ(௨)
பாண்டிநாதனைக் கண்டு என்மனம் பசலை கொண்டதென்ன
நிலாவிலே பார்த்த வண்ணம் கனாவிலே தோன்றும் இன்னும் (2)
இழைத்தேன் துடித்தேன் பொறுக்கவில்லை
இடையில் வேதனை இருக்கவில்லை

நறுமுகையே நீயொரு நாழிகை நில்ளாய்
செங்கனி ஊறிய வாய் திறந்து நீயொரு திருமொழி சொல்லாய்
அட்ரைஇ திங்கள் அந்நிலவில் கொற்றபொய்கை ஆடூகயில் ஒற்றப்பார்வை பார்தவனும் நீயா
அட்ரைஇ திங்கள் அந்நிலவில் நெற்றித்தாள நீர்வடிய கொற்றபொய்கை ஆடியவள் நீயா

யாயும் யாயும் யாராகியரோஅனென்று நேர்ந்தததென்ன(௨)
யானும் நீயும் எவ்வழியரிடும் உறவு சேர்ந்த்தது என்ன
ஓரே ஒரு தீண்டல் செய்தாய் உயிர் கொடி பூத்ததென்ன (2)
செம்புலம் சேர்ந்த்த நீர்த் துளி போல் அம்புடை நெஞ்சம் கலந்ததென்ன
திருமகனஎ திருமகனஎ நீ ஒரு நாழிகைப் பாராய்
அட்ரைஇ திங்கள் அந்நிலவில் கொற்றபொய்கை ஆடூகயில் ஒற்றப்பார்வை பார்தவனும் நீயா
அட்ரைஇ திங்கள் அந்நிலவில் நெற்றித்தாள நீர்வடிய கொற்றபொய்கை ஆடியவள் நீயா (2)

  • "யாயும் ஞாயும் யாராகியரோ

எந்தையும் நுந்தையும் எம்முறைக் கேளிர்

நீயும் யானும் எவ்வழி அறிதும்

செம்புலப் பெயல் நீர்போல

அன்புடை நெஞ்சந்தாங் கலந்தனவே"

"உன் தாயும் என் தாயும் யாரோவென தொடர்பற்றவர்கள். என் தந்தையும் உன் தந்தையும் எவ்வகையிலும் உறவினர்கள் இல்லை. நீயும் நானும் கூட இதற்கு முன்பாய் அறிமுகமானவர்கள் இல்லை. பாலை மண்ணில் பெய்த மழை போல நம்மிருவர் நெஞ்சங்கள் தாமாகக் கலந்துவிட்டன"...சங்கப் பாடல் வரியின் விளக்கம்.

Qantas phone customer put on hold - for 15 hours

Outrageous" ... Adelaide businessman Andrew Kahn was put on hold on a call to Qantas for more than 15 hours. Photo: David Mariuz

HOW long is too long to wait on hold? Thirty minutes? One hour? Three hours? Try 15 hours, 40 minutes and one second.

That's how long Adelaide businessman Andrew Kahn waited on hold on his mobile for Qantas from Wednesday night to yesterday morning.

Mr Kahn phoned Qantas at 7.22pm on Wednesday, trying to confirm his travel arrangements for a trip to New York on Sunday. He finally hung up at 11.01am yesterday, having not spoken to anyone.

A recorded message replayed constantly told him someone would speak with him ''as soon as possible''.

''I wanted to find out what exactly they meant would be as soon as possible. I never got an answer. This is outrageous.''

The amount of time on hold would easily allow for a flight from Melbourne to Los Angeles.

Mr Kahn said after he hung up, he called again and managed to speak to someone in customer service, who said he was not even on the flight because of a code error in booking the ticket.

''I've never seen this before in my life. For some stupid reason, this had led to this loop of you being on hold. What a saga,'' Mr Kahn said he was told. He said a second employee, this time from the customer care division, offered to reimburse his call costs if he emailed a copy of his call log.

''I hung up in the end simply because I had had enough,'' said Mr Kahn, a new product developer.

''I wanted to find out what exactly they meant when they said they would be with me as soon as possible.

''Outside of my determination to find out what exactly 'soon' meant, after already waiting for an hour or so, I did not want to lose my place in the queue.

''[Apart from] surfing the net and working, I also managed to read Bazerman and Moore's 7th edition of Judgment in Managerial Decision Making - over 200 pages of advanced masters-level reading.

''It is just about the worst customer service any customer could ever receive.''

The Herald, which did not have to wait as long as Mr Kahn for a response from Qantas, was told by the airline that it had no record of any caller waiting 15 hours to get through to its contact centres.

''In fact, our average contact centre wait time during that period was under a minute and the longest wait time was 17 minutes,'' a spokesman said.

"The passenger's booking had been cancelled due to a system error, but has now been reinstated.

''We are looking into how this could have occurred and apologise for any inconvenience caused."
