' Poromboke ', is a term commonly used across Tamil Nadu . The term was originally meant to refer to a piece of land that was common to people like a lake or a place that is set aside for public space for holding village assemblies , festivals and fairs . However , in course of time , the same word took a demeaning turn to denote a person as useless and of no good .
Chennai ’ s Ennore Creek , one of those poromboke lands is now almost completely encroached . Many private industries made a dump yard out of it and in the process , polluting the environment ; this caused innumerable health hazards to the people .
Kaber ' s ' Poramboke Song ' which was released last September was intended to be a wake-up call for citizens to be more involved in the environment . More recently , a new music video called ' Chennai Promboke Paadal ' featuring the popular Carnatic musician T . M . Krishna . This song is meant to raise awareness about the encroachment on Chennai ’ s Ennore Creek .
This song reached a wide spectrum of audience ; in-spite of the popular beliref that Carnatic music has it ' s dedicated set of followers . This video already has more than one lakh views on YouTube .
I would like to urge our readers to be supportive of such musical initiatives and spread the word . Hats off to the amazing people behind this song . I loved it for the way it sounds and the message it depicts .
