Songs on Mother and child

[Shalsie]

Dear All,

I am looking for songs (for dance) whose central theme is on the love of a mother for her children... padams or varnams with scope for sancharis that can bring this element to fore... any ideas? There need be no barrier except that it be for bharathanatyam.

Some traditional (may be boring to you!) examples:
cinnanciru kiLiyE kaNNammA - mother daughter
Numerous kRshNa themed ones for mother son (yenna tavam SeidaNal etc)
Vempati Sri Chinnasatyam has choreographed SrInivAsa kalyANam to tamizh lyrics where there was song on vakuLamAlA playing with SrInivAsa - I am sure there is a telugu version of the song as well
There are also songs like maiyA mOri mein nahin mAkhan khAyO which could also accomodate numerous sancAris
There is a PD composition where he describes kRshNa complaining to yaSOdA that his playmates are taunting him (ammA yenna kUDa ADuva makkaLu)
Smt. Srinidhi Chidambaram has used a comtemporary poem to describe how the harried modern mother runs a home, works full-time, misses her children terribly, and runs home to their embrace....

I am not sure if this shall apply - Varnam - K.N.Dandayudapani Pillai in Tamil annaiyai maravEnaDi (padavarNa) rAgA: AbhOgi. Adi tALA.

Also Can some one shed more light on this poem - where it can be heard or seen - Smt. Srinidhi Chidambaram has used a comtemporary poem to describe how the harried modern mother runs a home, works full-time, misses her children terribly, and runs home to their embrace...

Hi everyone- sorry to get back to this topic again- would we have anything the other way around- a child praising her mother- this is in the theme of a dedication to mothers sort of thing......
