In this episode, we relish an interaction with the feathered friend depicted in Sangam Literary work, Natrinai 70, written by Velliveethiyaar, who happens to be a female poet sung about by another famous female poet, Avvaiyaar. The poem is set in the agricultural farmlands of the ‘Marutham’ landscape and speaks in the voice of the lady to a little bird, pressing it to pass on a message to her man.
