KamalHaasan's Poem

I was browsing Era.Murugan's website. Era.Murugan is one of the new age Tamil writers, who btw writes well. It comes out that he works for HCL BPO as principal consultant. Sujatha is his mentor. He has done dialogues for Kamal's upcoming flick 'Unnai Pol Oruvan'. His poems regularly appear in Ananda Vikatan. I distinctly remember reading a poem titled 'AadhalAl AlarugirAn' by Era.Murugan in AV few years back. In his website he has published one of Kamal's poem titled 'Nanban'. I know Kamal writes poems. Regarding Kamal's poetic skills, camouflage/under currents/veiled messages/giving room for different interpretations are all hallmarks of a well written poem and Kamal has them in plenty. Also, Themal, Jaadhikuri, padikAram, MIsai nuni...these are distinctly Kamal words.

It's an intelligent poem. He sees himself as his Nanban. Once you read the poem from this context you will be pleasantly surprised. I concede that the usage of the term 'Jaadhikuri' is unnecessary. However, you will have to give it to him when it comes to how versatile he is and how much justification he does to each and every thing he gets into
