Why this Kolaveri Di?

When my friend first made me listen to this song I didn't understand a single word! None- Absolutely None! And the next day it had 8 million hits! Whoa!
No longer does sensibility make sense. I guess that's what the living are now trying to focus on. Things we don't completely understand cause it is easier to fool us that way!
Well the song, It has got over 32 million hits. Awesome! Sung by Dhanush, Rajnikant's son in law, it was a hit! A combination of 2 people who have influenced people the most in the Entertainment industry.
Rajnikant with his Robot hit, I did go see it in theatre, dragging my entire family along! Even though we understand only a bit of Tamil. The reason I went was to see what the big deal was about. Big Deal it was and after that for over a year we got forwards in our inbox saying that Impossible was literally nothing for Rajnikant!
And now Kolaveri Di... I find myself pretty good at singing the song. Thanks for all the people who play the song all over.
This was released during my semesters and Oh Boy! The lyrics was immediately changed into a version for all of us writing our exams! It was a Big Hit! We found ourselves trying to sing the lyrics with the tune of the main song. We also got a forward saying if it was such a big hit with only Dhanush singing the song, If Rajnikant had it would have become our National Anthem.
A holiday to the Capital city of India made me realise that this song was a super hit! In order to indulge in the taste of the villages around, I found myself going to their markets, and there it was - the song being played everywhere! I go for a Syrian Christian Malayali wedding - Delhi style and there again it was playing. I travel by car from place to place and on the radio that's what we have. You switch frequencies for a break from the song- Nope! You have it being sung in the Ghazal version and what not!
Truly, it's time for us to get senseless and get creative!
