From the review provided by http://sify.com/movies/tamil/review.php?id=14213747&ctid=5&cid=2429 it seems another of the overhyped under performing movie. Hope they recover their investments for the hard work.
It is time these directors plan out everything and implement the plan rather taking ages to complete a movie.
If you cannot for sure ensure the money and dates and equipments and the performer's availabilty what is the use.
Come on guys group up.
On the other hand the review provided for FANAAH by http://www.indiafm.com/movies/review/12456/index.html seems to increase one's interest to watch the movie.
Let us see how these two movies perform from the week 3 which is the kind of indicator for long term success/failure

Reservation
Instead of Reserving seats for the sections of populations a few politicians think about. Why not provide free education for population with special grants from government as well as contributions from private sector. Govt. could give some tax breaks or other perks to the private sector to support this initiative. This way everyone could be encouraged to get educated and the individuals will have an opportunity to strut their stuff in a competitive world.Education is a prime thing for any individual in the long haul. I read in one of the interviews given by Dr P M Bhargava, Member, Knowledge Commission in rediff http://ia.rediff.com/news/2006/may/23inter1.htm?q=np&file=.htm where he mentions that Government gets almost Rs. 6000 crores from the educational cess it imposes on tax paying sections of the populations.This clearly shows there is no dearth of money to start the initiative, this way we could probably open more educational institutions and also generate jobs as well.Anybody Listening out there?

my tamil blog is one year old..
This is the first blog i made in my tamil blog site.. http://neyvelivichu.blogspot.com. now celebrating my anniversary with a english blog.
save tamil .. first create the environment
The point is not refusing what the leaders say.. I too believe that tamil needs to be guarded.. preserved.. but making it a classical language or erasing the english names will not change..
when they had the power to enact rules.. did they bring some rules to make everybody study in tamil medium schools till 5th or 8th..At the end of the day, if i study in tamil medium school, can i do my MBBS (can i first of all qulaify with that many marks studying in tamil? are there people to teach me?)or BE? (just go back and check it out.. In this years 12th results, who is the person who got first mark among tamil medium students.. who cares...)
So what are we fighting at.. we dont have the infrastructure to teach in tamil and survive in tamil.. we can only write stories and film songs in tamil now.. if i study in tamil medium, i can only become a peon (ok agreed.. a clerk) in a government office.. (i am not teasing anybody.. but telling matter of factly).. or i should become a lawyer or politician.. (or the better profession god man..).
we always quote japan korea and china germany for using their mother tongue.. there you can do anything in their language.. they need not learn english or other language to survive..here i have to.. When i left chennai, 17 years back to bhopal for a job in P&G, i dont know a single syllable in Hindi..(we used to call it a kuthirai karan(horse rider's) language.. hai hai nnu sollaranga nnu).. I could not get food.. the shop keepers used to say , tell me the name of the thing u want.. no this , that buziness..)..
we have discussions if we should translate the speech of the governer into tamil or not.. how many of our ministers speak in tamil in the parliament.. none of the hindi belt politicians speak in angrazee including Atal bihari.
Our leader is saying that he let his Nephew become minister becoz he speak hindi.. that is the basic culture we have.. we dont want tamil except for writing and talking in political meetings.I too agree that "epporul yaar yaar vaai ketpinum". But here all that people say are loaded..This ultimately expects every body to fight so that the other person can grow.. the irony is his party office should have been the first target to erase english. he should have cleaned his names.. turn towards our own houses.. are we willing to put our children in a tamil medium school or college..what is the big purpose served in these protests.. and supporting the leaders who lead these protests..
We always keep ourselves in isolation to survive.. that is not the right thing.. we should equip ourselves to fight and then win.. its the same story of two lines.. and erasing the bigger line to show the smaller line as big. How long can we do that..we are worried about getting the credit.. who did this..
today the leaders say i did not say anything for srilankan tamils..its you who did that.. vazhga tamizh patru.. tamizhan endru sollada talai kunindu nillada.. I remember my fellow students who died in 1983 in tiruchi when the bus driver drove over them when we were protesting the death of tamils in srilanka..
Now its a pride to say, its not me who supported the tamils.. (what they did not say openly is "we wanted all of them to die.. so that nobody can dismiss my govt quoting my regime encouraged their movement in the state")let the personal agendas rule this country and let tamil die a natural death..
(sorry if i have hurt anybody.. unless we remove the entire amma ayya culture and bring in a selfless leader we are going nowhere..this is my personal pain as i see lots of my people study only english and my friends children asked me if i write poetry in tamil and said can you please translate that for me as i cannot read tamil.. They dont live in america or Mumbai.. they are in Kumbakonam..)
Let our governments go ahead and pass a legislation that all the schools including kendriya vidyalaya or CBSE based schools or madarasas should teach everything in tamil till 8th standard. Then i will accept these guys have something for tamil.. Ramadas wants to showoff that he is the next karunanidhi.. and does whatever karunanidhi did in 1964 against hindi so that he can become CM in 2010 like Vijayakant doing things that MGR did .. history may repeat again..

Namakaranam
Today we performed the Punyavachanam and Namakaranam ceremony for my second daughter. She was born on the 27th April 2006 at 5.25 AM at Louisville, KY. She weighed 6 pounds 5 ounces and was 19.5 inches tall. She had quite a bit of hair on her head. She came out through a C-section.
She is officially known as Vedika and has several given names, Lakshmi, Lalitha Parameswari, Akhilandeswari, Sai Lakshmi and VedaVarshini. Her Star is Ashwini.
The whole event went off smoothly starting from me picking up the priest from the temple and then performing the rites at home to my dropping him back at the temple and off to work.
Vaibhavi my elder one, skipped pre-school to participate in this joyous occasion. Vedika was a picture of happiness and she kept looking around wide eyed at what the priest and her father were performing.
Since I started this blog recently after Vedika's birth, let me also introduce you to my elder daughter whose official name is Vaibhavi and given name is Shyamala, Vandana. She was born on 8th August 2001 at 8.57 PM She weighed 6 pounds 9ounces and was about 19 inches long. She came out through normal delivery.
Vaibhavi is now 4 years and 9 months old, she goes to preschool and is a chatterbox. We have her maternal grandparents here whom she refers to Bombey Thatha and Jai Patti. She all the time busy with her Thatha converting plastic bottles and cans into beautiful gods or any shape and form she desires.
She has also taken to Tennis like fish taking to water and has been making impressive progress, imagine she is hitting excellent baseline shots across the net. She is a sprightly bubbly girl full of energy and smile always according to her school teachers and friends.
I will continue about this later.....

Caribbean Calypso
Dravid and his team are on their way to the West Indies islands for yet another overseas series and if they cannot perform decently and win the series there this time, I don't think they deserve their test ranking.
Hopefully these guys will put up inspired performances and replicate their one-day form as Greg Chappell had encouraged them to do.
What is wrong with these Sri Lankans they are going through one of their worst phases getting beaten to pulp by almost every one. I guess they will all run into great form around World Cup and might be the dark horse.
Saw a news item that Ganguly is going to play county cricket again. Good Luck Dada.... Like Farookh Engineer said in his recent rediff interview, the only way if you can ever possibly come back if at all it happens is by forcing the selectors with some brilliant unbelievable performances. otherwise it is adios amigo....

Change Ushers in Old timers
So the spectacle of Elections in Tamil Nadu and other states have come to an end finally. Due to lack of options people opted for the DMK front. Rediff and Sify have some interesting anecdotes about the reasons for the loss of AIADMK as wells some insight about MK if you don't know any by now. Also in rediff they have also provided information on how the freebies schemes will be implemented and where the money will come in for these schemes.
Congress at the Center is in for a rough ride what with the kind of victories the left front achieved in Kerala and West Bengal. hopefully things will move in the better direction going forward.
did anybody take note of the fact that petrol is going to cost Rs 60/- a litre and gas cylinder is going to cost almost Rs 450/-. what will an average lay man do with a free gas stove when he has to minimum shell out this huge an amount to have a cylinder which might last depending on typical usage for say about a month. Well if you ask MK he might say we are educating the masses with free TVs and feeding them with Rs 2/- a kg of rice (by the way how is this possible, I would certainly think it might take more than Rs 2/- to cultivate and harvest a kg of rice) with a free gas stove. How in the world do they cook? can they eat raw rice? ..........
And it will continue..... Keep you postings coming.....
So Vijayakanth did make an impact with his debut performance in eating up the votes broadly across the various party lines. Would be interesting to watch how he performs from now on in his new role, it is not a movie any more for him.

Elections in Tamil Nadu
Seems like the elections is going throw up a big surprise for Jayalalitha, It looked like she was on the driver seat when the elections was announced and campaign started. What with MDMK and Sarathkumar switching camps to her side and a host of filmstars doing the same, kind of giving the impression that everything was hunky dory.
Post voting and the exit polls, it seems like a repeat of 2004 general elections. We have to wait for another 48 hours before we can get a clearer picture.

Tamil Nadu Elections
Looks like the elections in T.N. might go down to the wire per the latest pre-poll estimates. It would be interesting to see how it turns out.
This nauseating of offering freebies has to end. People need to be made aware of their responsibilities rather than falling prey for all this empty talk.
Both the parties are eloquently saying that they will do this and that and the first thing that would happen once in power is to ensure someone files a public interest litigation which would result in a stay order for all the promised free schemes and nothing happens. The people need to realize this.
Ordinary citizens should force the elected officials to atleast honor some of their promises done during the election time. Even the smallest thing done in a proper manner will go a long way in ensuring a better future.
It will indeed be interesting to see if DMK gets elected especially since they are also part of the UPA government at the Center. Instead just indulging in witch hunting which is anyway going to happen, will they also come up with good administration and improve the economy of the state. My guess would be a BIG NO for an answer since the amount of freebies they have promised would pretty much wipe out whatever is there in the state coffers and Central Govt. cannot do much in funds to them.
All in all an interesting week ahead as first phase and another long fruitless adventure for the population of Tamil Nadu.
Good Bye Good Luck Friends.
