"Why This Kolaveri Di..."
For the FAOs, bibliophiles, and cultural historians out there...
Why This Kolaveri Di ( 'Killer Rage' in Tamil) is a rather bizarre, nonsensical sounding " Tamglish" (mixed Tamil and English) creation with an appeal to a younger generation which has made it the hottest song now making the Internet rounds in India...
These are not your father's Tamil Tigers...and listening to it reminds me of the polyglot language heard at the street level of future society in Blade Runner.

And so it goes...
