Ethanai kodi inbam

This album of bombay jayshree is truly soul-stirring,.. One album that I can listen to, whatever mood i may be in ..It boosts my spirits when I am feeling a bit low.. When at work, it also helps me concentrate on a particular thing
every song in this album is a gem in its own kind :
agni kunju
mazhai kalam
thikkugal ettum sidhari
uyire
kaakai chiraginilae
mannum
ethanai kodi
nalladhor veenai
suttum vizhi
varuvai kanna
manadhil urudhu vendum
pozhudhu
ninnai charan adaindhen

The album as a whole is a treat to listen to.. The lyrics by bharathiyar are beautiful .. its about the forces of nature.....
Just close ur eyes and listen to these songs and jayshri's mesmirising voice will take your own dream world.....
(Though I have heard these songs some years before, it was during my visit to US that my friend Anty had given this to me .. Thanks to him!!)
Some of these songs are my personal favourites for various reasons..

thikkugal ettum sidhari - This song was the opening song in our REC festember 2001 culturals..2001 was the first time our college was selected in for the group-dance finals and it was my first big-stage performance. Moreover, the choreogrpahy for this song was almost entirely mine..
ethanai kodi inbam - this was the finale song of our dance... The dance theme was "identity crisis". The main lead in the dance-drama realizes that her identity is lost and is in the center stage with this song being played..

Uyire - is my personal fav.. bombay jayshree at her best.. I have always wanted to sing this one as good as her..To be frank not even 1% of it I have been able to acheive..

kaakai chiraginilae - reminds me of my first-ever paatu class in chennai,, i used to sing this song on gokulashtami..

suttum vizhi - this one was sung by shyam when we first met in coimbatore. he sings it so well..The way he sings it quite different from the way Bj does.. still I prefer his version a bit more than jayshree's :)

manadhil urudhi vendum - this gives lot of postive energy.. This song in the movie sindhu bhairavi is a master piece
