Pleasure From Nostalgia Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

How sweet it is to see Padmini dance
In the screen, in the voice of M.L.V.,
To the tune of G.Ramanatha Iyer,
Again now after six decades passed!

How sweet it is to see Devika romance
In the screen, in the voice of Janaki,
To the tune of M.S. Viswanathan,
Again now after five decades lapsed!

A clear sign of nostalgia it is.
A proof that youth’s impression is strong.
A reason of a long deprivation
And of the bottled sexual energy;

(Padmini of Kerala and Devika of Andhra were popular heroines in 1950s and 1960s, now no more, with respective popular playback singers and music directors in the Tamil filmdom.)
