Pesugiren from Sathampodathe

This is my current favourite song. Combo of Yuvan's excellent music, Na Muthu kumar's wonderful lyrics and Neha bhasin's fabulous rendition have brought out a great song. Sax piece at first interlude and guitar at second interlude is just mellifluous.  Na Muthu lyrics is meaty and exhortative and here it is..

pesugiren pesugiren
un idhayam pesugiren
puyaladithal kalangathe naan pookkal neettugiren
edhai nee tholaithalum....
manadhai tholaikkadhe....
adangamale alaipayvadhen
manam allava......

kadal thaandum paravaik kellam ilaipara marangal illai
kalangamale gandam thaandume
mutrup pulli arugil neeyum meendum chinna pulligal vaithal
mudivenbadhum aarambame
valaivillamal malai kidayadhu
vali illamal manam kidayadhu
varundhadhe vaa.....

adangamale alai paivadhen, manam allava......

kaattil ulla chedigalukellam thanneer ootra aale illai
thannai kakkave, thaanai valarumae....oohooho ho...
pengal nenjin baaram ellam, pennil konja neram thane
uannai thondinal, inbam thondrume
vidiyaamal thaan, oru iravedhu
vadiyaamal thaan, vellam kidayadhu
varundhadhe vaa.....

adangamale alaipaivadhen manam allava.....

How To Design A Good API

I found this elucidative presentation on principles of designing a Good API. This is presented at Google Tech Talk by Joshua Bloch. Joshua is a Principal Engineer at Google and was former developer at Sun Microsystems. Some of the things are discussed in his Effective Java book which every Java programmer should read.
In fact I got US edition this book while in india. I wish if indian edition of this book also would also be available. Interestingly this video as recommendated by Google based on my browse history. Google is really cool...
