Director Ram"s write up on Muthkumar Part 4;In a span of 41 year he carried out 100 years of labour without taking rest

Right from his entry into the  film world  17 years ago  he has written more than 1500 songs. Indeed in the last 12 years he was the one who wrote more lyrics in Tamil Cinema. Following Kannadasan  and Vairamuthu tradition, in the Tamil cinema film song segment, he was the super star continuously. To sustain this star status every year the efforts he had made and the pressures he had experienced were enormous and painstaking . He would say,” writing songs for film is just like going on hilly road in a car on the mountainous region in a reverse gear.”

Whenever there is a chance  to write song about mother character, thoughts of his mother will envelope; the dangled legs of his mother will come before his eyes when she hanged herself to death. Till date he would never raise his head and look into the eyes of anyone and this trait was born when he saw the legs of his mother as a small boy at that moment. While writing every song, he would get back into the pain of the past or lock himself into his thoughts and bring the message and felt that it was his  job. The side effects of this act was uneasiness and inexplicable pressure and in the recent times he has shared  with me.

In a span of 41 years he carried out what one could labour in100 years, without taking any rest whatsoever. What remains after his final exit is the lyrics-more than 1500 songs he has written.(will they not speak for themselves)
