In this thought-provoking conversation, Madhan Karky joins Gobinath to explore the fascinating intersection of language, logic, technology, and creativity. Known widely for his memorable Tamil film lyrics, Madhan Karky reveals the lesser-known side of his journey — one driven by research, innovation, and a deep fascination for the scientific structure of language. From teaching Computer Science at Anna University to becoming one of Tamil cinema’s most unique lyricists, Karky explains how his engineering mindset shaped his approach to writing lyrics. For him, songwriting is not just art — it is also mathematics, structure, and optimization. The conversation travels through many compelling topics: • Why Tamil is one of the most logical languages in the world • How a 1.5-million-word Tamil vocabulary repository is being built through the Sorkuvai project • Why global scientific knowledge must exist in Tamil • The importance of mother-tongue learning in education • How AI is transforming creativity, poetry, and language itself • The future of language in a world dominated by technology Karky also shares insights into his innovative projects, including creating the fictional Kiliki language for the film Baahubali and coining modern Tamil equivalents for global concepts such as “Déjà vu” (மீணிகழுணர்வு). More than a discussion about cinema or songwriting, this episode explores a deeper question: Can language evolve with technology without losing its soul? From artificial intelligence to education, from Tamil vocabulary creation to the philosophy of language, this conversation reveals why Madhan Karky is often described not just as a lyricist — but as a “Lyrical Engineer.” Sponsor 👉 Book a Free Demo to start using RSoft R2 🌐 https://RealtorsRobot.com 📞 +91 8428031234 __________________ Chapters: 00:00 — Viewer Discretion Notice 00:04 — Inside the Mind of a Lyric Engineer 03:29 — Show Sponsors 03:56 — Introducing Madhan Karky: The Lyric Engineer 04:37 — Madhan Karky Appreciates the Podcast 04:51 — From Computer Science PhD to Lyric Writing 05:44 — Teaching Computer Science at Anna University 05:53 — Why Madhan Karky Sees Language as Mathematics 07:44 — The Logical Structure of the Tamil Language 08:27 — Discovering Tamil Through Technology Research 09:34 — Integrating Technology and Poetry 09:51 — Building a 1.5 Million Tamil Vocabulary Repository 11:00 — The Vision: Bringing the World’s Knowledge into Tamil 12:19 — Language, Knowledge and the Preservation of Culture 14:43 — Is English Overrated?
