Thank you very much for uploading this Video.. Myself and my mom love this song.. Is there any option to download this song..
Even if you live as a poor man in places like Triplicane, Srirangam ,you will be happier than you live as a millionaire elsewhere.
I lived in Triplicane from 1955 to 1974 and visited parthasarathy temple regularly.
The happiness and pleasure I got during the above period, I never got it till now.
