Vairamuthu, born in 1953 in Theni district of Tamil Nadu is a noted Tamil poet and star lyricist. His poetry reflects his staunch commitment to the progressive ideas of the Dravidian movement on the one hand, and a playful romanticism on the other. While retaining the traditional elements of alliteration, rhythm, and a flavor of classical language with deep nostalgia for the Tamil past, Vairamuthu's poetry is quintessentially modern in its choice of themes and forms. His poems are full of beautiful imagery, both poignant and ecstatic. As a lyricist for films, he is regarded as the true inheritor of the great legacy of Kannadasan.

Early life and Education
Vairamuthu was born in a farming community of Vadugapatti village, Theni District near Periyakulam. His father was Ramaswamy Thevar and mother AngammaL.

The speeches of Periyar & Anna, the writings of Karunanidhi and the works of eminent poets like Bharathi, Bharathidasan and Kannadasan and the life in the countryside shaped the young poet's thinking.

Besides love songs, there was also a pretty high amount of songs made based on his mother's love.He respects his mother more than anyone else.
