எனக்கு ஆதி அண்ணாவின் அனைத்து பாடல்களும் பிடிக்கும்.குறிப்பாக clubla mubbla பாடலும், takkaru takkaru பாடலும் மிகவும் பிடிக்கும். அது மிகவும் அர்த்தமுள்ளதாகவும், “தமிழன்” என்பதில் பெருமை கொள்ளும் விதமாகவும் இருக்கிறது.நானும் என் தோழியும் அவரது மிகப்பெரிய ரசிகைகள்.. தமிழில் கருத்து பதிவேற்றியதில் மகிழ்ச்சி அடைகிறேன்.. தமிழ் வாழ்க…நன்றி…
