Why this Kolaveri di??

Its almost a month now....
But the effect of Kolaveri is still verdant...

I tried to escape from it...
I deliberately avoided listening to the song....
But then, I ended up thinking of it more and more...

Now destiny brought me to Chennai....
All the radio stationsis playing the kolaveri song again and again....
Posters containing Dhanush with head sets on....
Channels like M TV and V TV is playing it endlessly....


The original version....

Girl's version....

What not!!!


TAKE A BREAK.....
TIERED TO DEATH....

*************************************

Back again....!!!!
This made me sit back and wonder what is so special about the song..
Later decided to listen to the song and see what is so captivating....

Firstly,
the lyrics caught me....
So simple... So normal....
Its almost like someone is talking....
The colloquial words and slag words....
I thoroughly enjoyed....
May be because I talk this sort of language too !!!

Then....
The tune!!!
So South Indian.... (In micro level)
And so Indian too....
Its again simple....
Complementing the lyrics....

I noticed that it is an earnest try...
From a bathroom singer to a professional singer can manage to sing this song...

I specially felt relieved....
Because from today if someone desperately want to hear me sing...
I will sing this!!!
I feel confident enough to sing this....
And my audience may not realise that I am not a good singer!!!

*************************************

How dis I miss this out??
I am a South Indian....
And I always feel that the South Indian movie Industry do not get as much reach and apprecitaion as the North Indian - "Hindi" Films rather.

There are so many good movies and songs....
There are much better actors and technicians too....
Yet....
Bollywood represents the Indian movie business...
Though that is not the true representation of the reality...

So finally when I managed to catch this song in M TV or V TV or any other National Televison channel for that matter... I felt very proud....

Proud to be a Tamil... 
A South Indian...
A Dhanush fan...
What not!!!

*************************************


I Chennai I happened to see this interesting poster....
Its really innovative and interesting....
A socially awakening one....
And takes strong stance against rash driving....





*************************************

Besides....
A matured realisation also popped in....

Art does not require any language...
It is the simplicity that always wins....

MOST INPORTANT OF ALL....

Make use of the Social Networking sites....
You tube....
Or Internet as such for thta matter....
Do all the possible promotions to raech out....

If the work is from the heart and the promotion strategy is tactical....
Anything can become as sensational as Kolaveri song....
And people can go Kolaveri (Positively) over it!!!
