Vivek’s writing describes physical recollections like shoulders that carried the child and a mustache that pricked like kisses. Anirudh Ravichander voices regret over misinterpreting paternal discipline as hostility during youth. Specific details ground the abstract loss in daily experiences.

En Mudhal Nayagan NeeYou’re my first hero.
Endhan Kavalan NeeYou’re my guardian.
En Uyir Arambam NeeYou’re the start of my life.
Nenjin Asaium NeeYou’re my heart’s deepest wish.
Thottilai Ennai ThookkiLifting me up in a cradle,
Aadum Tholgal VendumeI need those shoulders that rocked me.
Muththamai Ennai KuththumThe mustache that pricked me like a kiss,
Meesai Vendum MeendumeI need it all over again.
Kanavena Nambi EzhuveneI’ll wake up believing it’s a dream,
Nee Kanmun Thondra Vendumepraying you’ll appear before my eyes.
Kadavulai Pola EngeyumLike a god, you were everywhere,
Enai Vittu Pona Vanameand then you just left me and were gone.
Uyirena Unnai KanamalWithout seeing you, my very life,
En Ulagam Nindru Pogumemy whole world just comes to a stop.
Oru Murai Ennai Kai ThookkiIf you’d just lift me by the hand one more time,
Pin Ponal Kooda Podhumeit would be enough, even if you leave right after.
En Mudhal Nayagan NeeYou’re my first hero.
Endhan Kavalan NeeYou’re my guardian.
En Uyir Arambam NeeYou’re the start of my life.
Nenjin Asaium NeeYou’re my heart’s deepest wish.
Ver vaiyil Pulli VaithuWith the beads of your sweat,
Ennai Kolam Akkinaiyou made my life a beautiful ‘kolam’ pattern.
Mel Vizhum Baram EllamEvery burden that fell on me,
Neeye Nindru Thanginaiyou were the one who stood and carried it all.
Nadai Vandiyagum Viral EngeWhere are the fingers that guided my first steps,
En Vazhi Thunaiyaga VendumeI need them to be my companion on this path.

Un Nizhalil Vazhum PillaiyeI’ll always be a child living in your shadow.
