பெரிதோ சிறிதோ விருதே கிடைத்தாலும்,என் பிறந்த நாள் பரிசாக நான் நினைப்பது இக்குரலை தான்….

கேட்கும் மாத்திரத்தில் புரியாது….
புதிய பாதைக்கு முன் நாகரீகமாக யாசகமே பலரிடம் கேட்டிருக்கிறேன்.அதன் பின் அருள் பாவிக்கும் ரசிகர்களாகிய உங்களின் ஆதரவால் நான் யாரிடமும் எனக்காக எதையும்… pic.twitter.com/INYEj3f8UY
