Ar rahman and Vairamuthu #101

One of the Tamil Film Music Industry's long standing partnership is that of Arr and Vairamuthu. From Kadhal Rojave to Nenjukkule ( Kadal ), their partnership is been inspiring. I relive memories listening to their combo almost all the times.
From now on , in addition to the series of Ar Rahman qawwali's, i'm thinking of starting a new series - Ar rahman Vairamuthu partnership..

As the starting post, i thought to throw some light on vairamuthu's use of the word " Chiyaan " in A.R. Rahman's songs..

The most famous use being the " Chiyan kaata thondi partha semman ootru ratham than" from kodu potta song in Ravanan movie. In one media conference he had clarified his use of the word for the justification of the context and not for the lead role ( Vikram ) of the movie.

Interestingly, He had already used the same word with another context  almost thirteen years ago in one evergreen album of Arr. Thirupaachi aruvala song from the movie " Taj Mahal ", has the earliest use of the word " Chiyan" . Lines go like this,

" engooru pombalaiya moappamida vandhavana enga seeyan mookka aruththaaga "
