'Naan thaayumanavan thandhaiyaanavan' from Thaambathyam Oru Sangeetham. Sung by P. Jayachandran. Lyrics by Pulamaipiththan. Music by MSV.
RR Films' Thaambathyam Oru Sangeetham-1982 starred Mohan, Sulakshana, Prasanna and others. It was produced by Raghu and directed by Venkat.
Besides the SOTD, other songs in the film were:
Indha vanji magal- SPB ( Vaali)
Kaadhaliyae en kannmaniyae- MV & VJ (Pulamaipiththan)
Gnaan ninne sammadhichu- SJ (Pulamaipiththan)
Thaaambathyam oru sangeetham- MSV (Vaali)

Theirs is a love marriage in the face of parental opposition- she is a Christian, and he is a Hindu. And presently, when they are eagerly expecting the birth of their child, she longs for the blessings and guidance of their family elders, and feels lonely and insecure. How gently he brushes her fears away, and convinces her that he will take care of her!
Jayachandran was indeed the best choice for this gentle song, full of protective love. 'Reassurance' which forms the emotional undercurrent of the song, is captured so gracefully in his wonderful voice. TMS may proudly look back upon 'Kaadhu koduthu kettaen' or 'Malar koduthaen, kai kulunga valaiyal ittaen', KJY may have had his mellifluous moments in 'Thaanae thanakkul', and SPB can celebrate his 'Pallava naattu rajakumarikku', but expectant fatherhood gains a whole new meaning when Jayachandran starts off with the
tender, caring thogayara:
Neelakkaruvizhiyil olai kondu mai ezhuthi
yela karunkuzhalil idhamaaga nei thadavi
vaari thalaiseevi, vagideduthu pinnalittu
vaari anaikkavarum vaanjaiyil naan thaaiyadiyo--
Poetic lyrics by Pulavar Pulamaipiththan. He makes the hero promise his wife that he'll give her all that she longs for---the care and warmth of a mother, the protective security of a father, the affectionate services of a loyal attendant, and the unparalleled love of a husband. I still remember seeing this song on Oliyum OLiyum many years back, Mohan singing 'Naan thaayumanavan', and another Mohan emerging from the first one, mouthing 'thandhaiyaanavan', and a third one appearing, to declare himself to be the 'anbu sevagan' and a fourth Mohan materialising and proclaiming himself as her 'arumai nayagan' !

- Thanks a lot, Saravanan.
- Folks, there will be no SOTD for a week, as Aruna and I get ready to make the biggest leap in our lives. I will be off for a week. Aruna, this one is for you, for us.
