Tamil Poet Bharathiar's New Age Woman

Bharathi Kanda Pudumaip Penn ( The New age Woman as visualised by Bharathiar)

This is Bharathi kanda Pudumaip Penn:

"Nimirntha nannenjum naer konda paarvaiyum
Nilathinil yaarukkum anjaatha nerigalum
Thimirntha gnanach cherukkum iruppadhaal
Semmai maadhargal thirambuvathillaiyaam"

"With upright heart and steadfast look and ideals that are not afraid of anyone in the world- the woman does not falter as she has the possession of wisdom."

I feel, my dear Bharathi... You also should have defined the Man who would be the perfect match to these women.. In my words, the ideal man would be

"Annimirndha nannenjai anbaal aravanaithu
Nerkinda paarvayil than uruvathai nilaippaduthi
Aval thimirndha gnaanach cherukkil thilaithu maginzhndhu
Ach chemmai magalai manaiviyaagak kondaadi
Yendrendrum inbamaai.. Vaazhkkaye Inidhaai....

The man - who, embraces her upright heart with his love; In her steadfast look have himself seen; In her wisdom he drowns happily; Celebrating  this great woman as his wife.. Happily living everafter forever...
Idhu.. Naan kanda pudumai Aanmagan .. ( This is the New age  Man that I dream of)
