Selected Kannadasan Lyrics
"...If
only Kannadasan had been born in Europe or the USA, instead
of Sirukuudalpatti village in the Ramanathapuram district of
Tamil Nadu, he probably would have become a Nobel laureate
in literature and received international recognition. But on
the other hand, Tamils would have lost a goliard, who
composed lyrics in Tamil for every sentimental moment they
experience in life...."
