I have never met you And you don't even know I exist But you have cast a spell on me From which it would be very difficult to recover Your eyes blaze with an intensity That can even melt steel Your smile is so beautiful That it cannot be surpassed Even by that of Mona Lisa Your laugh is so musical That even the songs of AR Rahman Would pale in comparison Your hairstyle is an art in itself Your dress sense is so impeccable That it would put even the finest Italian designers to shame And last but not the least We come to your acting A Sri Lankan Tamil dancer *** revolutionary In the movie "Jagame Thanthiram" A humble and yet powerful boatwoman In "PS1" and "PS2" A fierce wrestler with short hair Forced to become a submissive housewife with long hair In "Gatta Kusthi" And finally A teacher dealing with troublesome students As well as impending layoffs and rejected marriage proposals In "Archana 31 Not Out" Given any kind of role, you play it to perfection Born with oodles of natural talent You nevertheless refuse to rest on your laurels And put your heart and soul Into the profession which you hold so dear You are an inspiration to one and all Forced to do an MBBS By your extremely conservative parents You have nevertheless the courage To break free of the shackles placed on you And pursue your own dreams What's more, the risks you have taken off Have ultimately paid off You are the numero uno of present day Mollywood And flying high in Kollywood as well Yes, you have cast a spell on me But it was a spell, that I refused to resist And rightly so
