Tiruvasagam
I took three years of Tamil at high school. I can follow all of Barathi and anything post 1900. And then Tiruvasagam came along and I wish I knew more Tamil. Honestly, I hadn’t heard any of it other than Shivapuranam. And I heard this on Ilayaraja’s work
( Any attempt at translating that would end up with me looking like a jackass)
While IR work was just okie-dokie, the flood gates had opened. I find something mind blowing every single time I read it. The trouble – I can’t get more than a few verses each time, thanks to my sucky tamil and the total awesomeness that would take a lifetime to soak in.
