![]() ![]() Though I’ve seen Sindhu Bhairavi over and over again. Just that I liked the song a lot and it makes me remember certain things. Nithya: Actually – I don’t remember of Rayil Sneham. (And yes, on some trains you had the best cutlets from the pantry car ever!) Or standing by the compartment door in the dead of the night, watching night lights pace by towards the opposite direction. Anticipation, or a sense of possible disappointment. Especially when you’re travelling all that way to meet somebody. But each train journey stands apart like a punctuation mark. Despite the presence of loud and tone-deaf antakshari playing kids, dirty loos, aunties littering the compartment and the grouchy faced angsty kid sticking her dirty feet on your berth. What is it with trains? I romanticize train journeys despite some horrible instances. I am horrible at translations and don’t wish to ruin it for anyone. I wish I could get hold of someone to translate the song in its entirety from Tamil. There is something wonderful to the way the Man enjoys her singing or her music. The lyrics allude to how the Veena and the child within her are unaware of who made them. There was this hauntingly beautiful song – Indha Veenaiku Teriyaadu. The Veena becomes a symbol of her conversations with her self in a way. A lot of Balachandar’s stories revolve around standards for behaviour in “society”, expectations from people in conventional relationships and the need for intellectual companionship or acknowledgement.Īnyhow, I found the video of one of the songs from this serial. ![]() While in Rayil Sneham, the two individuals live under the same roof and become the best of friends, in Sindhu Bhairavi, two individuals meet and establish an intellectual relationship that becomes physically intimate. Like Sindhu Bhairavi, which is probably one of my favourite movies. I enjoy Balachandar’s movies and serials perhaps because they explore relationships and morality, without getting too judgmental, even if a little melodramatic. Actually, I don’t remember if they actually get married. The man and woman decide to live together. Basically a man and woman have a chance encounter on a train, and the woman reveals that she’s pregnant. I think the entire series was a flashback of sorts, when a girl – Sahana asks her father about her mother. About strangers meeting, and becoming friends, without quite becoming lovers. If you grew up in eighties and had access to Tamil DD programmes, you might remember Rayil Sneham (How does one translate this? Train Love?). ![]()
