Speech by Thomas Friedman of The New York Times....

"When we were young kids growing up in America, we were told to eat our
vegetables at dinner and not leave them. Mothers said, 'think of the
starving children in India and finish the dinner.' And now I tell my
children: 'Finish your maths homework. Think of the children in India
who would make you starve, if you don't.'"

Thanks for the link.
The number \"Thayee yashoda\" is realy good. The others are not that appealing. The most disappointing, infact to certain extent irritating is the number \" Pibare Ramarasam\". The singer kalayani Menon miserably failed to correctly pronounce the words. Really its pain listening this song.
This is just my personal opinion. I am neither a professioal singer or a critic but an ardent listener of good music.
