Malai Poluthin Lyrics Meaning P. Susheela | Sharan Kumar | Bhagyalakshmi
Kannadasan writes about a dream where a woman meets her husband, only to wake up and question its meaning. The lines, ‘My youth is nothing but a hazy dream,’ capture the bittersweet nature of her confusion. The poet uses the metaphor of a vanishing figure to describe how quickly happiness can disappear.
