Moondram Pirai

Amavasai in Tamil means New Moon Day

Every tamil month contains these following 5

(1) PerumAl's Thirunakshathram
(2) Two EkAdasis ( Sukla and KrishNa Paksha EkAdasis) ,
(3) First day of the Tamil Month ( Maasa PiRappu) ,
(4) AmAvasai ( New Moon Day).

Now following the New Moon day , there are many Phases or also called Pirai
First Day after New Moon is called ??
Second Day after New Moon is called ??
Third day after new moon is called as Moondram Pirai ( tamil)

Below scene is from a movie called Moonram Pirai ( One of My Favourites)

This scence is Heroine( mentally challenged from an accident and loses memory and behaves like a kid) crouching to hear the train approaching from a far distance by keeping ear-to-ear with the Hero. I think it is called Doppler Effect in Physics

The climax of the movie is such that , heroine recovers and forgets the relationship with Hero, there parents locate her , and they take her away to her native place. Now i have been thinking why this movie should be called as Moondram Pirai or the Third Phase after New Moon, whats the significance?

One reason is the moon at that period stays only for a very brief period as less as 30 mts , seeable in the evening , probably that could answer heroine's stay with the hero and thus the title. In tamil, the very word moondram(3rd) itself is got the word "moon" ... Balu Mahendra ( Director) seems to be very profound in thinking...
