Natrinai 71 – Impossible farewell

In this episode, we understand perceptions about life and love depicted in Sangam Literary work, Natrinai 71, written by Vannapura Kantharathanaar. True to his colourful name, he vividly paints this poem of love in canvas of the ‘Paalai’ landscape or the drylands, around the theme of separation. The verse converses in the words of the lady’s confidante to the man, putting forth an important question as he prepares to leave.
