Share the reason why that Tamil song is so special to you.

Let me start first :

Ten years back, while I was in Tamil Nadu, me and my friend went to the marriage of our colleague. The place is called 'Pabanasam'. Me and my friend started from Tirunelveli in his TVS Suzuki motor bike. We reached the marriage venue in one hour. Attended the marriage, ate well and started our reverse journey.

The stretch was very beautiful. On the backdrop, the Western Ghats' beauty was in all its splendour. Somehow, my mind failed to appreciate it.

'Krreechch..!' A sudden noise and next second we both were on the ground, after a fall. The front wheel of the motor bike had got punctured. Lost balance, we fell down. Luckily not much injuries. There is no stepni tyre for motor bike. We were depressed , how to reach back to Tirunelveli.

One by one, we tried to stop the passing lorries. Many passed by without stopping. After 15 minutes, one lorry stopped. We lifted the bike and put it on the lorry. We sat in the seat near the lorry driver. Both of us were extremely tired and were having pain in the body here and there due to the fall on the road. The mood was depression and melancholy.

Suddenly, the lorry driver put a cassette into the audio system and played this song : "Senthaalam poovil vanthaadum thendral en meethu mothuthamma" . What a great coincidence ! The song's lyrics described the beauty of a hill side greenery. Exactly our lorry was passing through the scenic beauty of Western Ghats. So far, I did not appreciate the same during our onward journey to Paabanasam.

But, now, with body pain & exhaustion and with the depression of the punctured tyre, traveling in a lorry, I enjoyed the scenic beauty on both sides of the road. My mood was turning from Depression into Jubilation !

The credit for changing that painful moment into one of the most beautiful moments of my life goes to that song :
