At last, the most awaited film of the year "Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu" is all set to hit the theatres today. This film has been in and out of trouble right from the day, the shooting began. There were lots of controversies surrounding this film and for a while it seemed as if that the film wont see the light at all. We all thought that its going to be yet another Sun TV release. Cant imagine how a big star like KamalHassan's movie got struck like these. And atlast, the film is getting released today. The trailer and the promos are very much sleek, suave and promising. Need to wait and watch the fate of the film in the hands of the audience.
Couldnt get the tickets for this movie. The day the reservation started, the online booking portal of Sathyam Theatre went blank. Couldnt get it through other sources too. Infact, we thought of getting a ticket through one of the assistant directors of the film, but at the last moment had to drop that idea. Anyways, waiting for a chance to see this movie.
Hope, Pratheeswaran will be very happy, as the film is about to roll out and slowly the bad name that fell on him due to my previous post is set to fade away...

A funny incident
This funny incident happenned in my office, a couple of days back.
Lets name our protagonists as A and B. A went out of station for the weekend. He also booked the train for his return journey. But unfortunately he misssed the train and he explained it to B. The following is the excerpts of his conversation with B.
A : Hey man, you know I missed the train yesterday night.
B : Oh too bad. Then what did you do? How did u reach chennai then?
A : What else, had to come by the unreserved compartment amidst all those chaos and crowd.
B : Oh.. In the same train????
A : :##@@@%%%???
Only after a few seconds, B realised his mistake and both burst out laughing. During our lunch A was explaining the whole thing to our gang and we all burst out laughing.
It was just a simple mistake and a slip of tongue by B, still it had erupted laughter among all of us. Its a good enjoyable real-time joke. Even the very thought of it makes us laugh.
I hope that both A & B wont forget it for the lifetime and this thought will come to their mind everytime they book tickets.

ayyo.. ayyo.. eppa thaan thirundha porangalo????
Hi all.. please go through the following set of rules being laid out in the great Sathyabama College of Engineering ( This is what has been mentioned in the mail. Dont know whether its true or not. But these guys are capable of laying these kinda stupit rules ). I got this as a mail forward n found it to be very much funny. I am sure everybody who happens to read this will find it to be very much funny.
Atleast some rules which restricts the students from carrying high valuables, huge money and mobile phones are somewhat acceptable. But the rule stated against point "e" is too funny. I dont understand the reason behind this rule. Why shouldnt boys and girls shouldnt interact with each other? that too being in a co-ed college? Why the hell should they run a co-ed college if they are to ask the boys n girls not to talk with one from the opposite gender? I think the college administration runs nearly 4-5 college. Why not they split them and conduct some colleges only for girls and the remaining only for boys? Just for gaining some attraction they use the word co-ed, but the real meaning of that word is not being followed. Its simply as if the girls and boys are put together in a single class room partitioned by a glass wall. I dont see any purpose behind boasting themselves as co-ed college and maintaining such a big line of separation between them.
The rule stated against point "a" is the height of comedy. If the student has to go to the director even for a simple thing like taking leave, then what else is the role of the class incharge, HOD and all the other staff members? Half of the day will be over for the student to wait for the director and get his leave granted.
Only one thing comes to mind after reading this....
ayyo ......ayyo... eppa thaan thirundhaporangalo????!!!!!!!

Bad Examples....
A couple of days back, i had a chance to go via the Marina Beach road. There i noticed that the statue of Kannagi stood with all its glory. After all the controversies about the presence / absence of that statue, the Tamil Nadu government has atlast managed to place it back there. Infact, this is one of the main action items that the new government has mentioned in their election manifesto and they have promptly executed this one. ( very useful to the state!!!?? ). Now they can feel proud and boast about their great achievement !!!.....
The new government talked as if the whole image and the growth of the state lies only on this statue and by placing it in its original location, they have regained the lost image and purity of the tamil tradition. This seems to be absurd. They created a lot of problems when the statue was removed from its original location during the reign of the previous government. They behaved as if a great sin has been committed to the tamil culture and that TamilNadu will face lot of problems when this status is removed. But, no such bad effects was found to haunt the Tamil people after the statue was removed. Now, it should be nearly 2 months since, the statue was placed in its place. No significant improvement to the tamil culture, tradition or the lives of the people was found ever since this statue was placed.
This amuses me a lot as to how our bad politicians can play on each and every move carried out by the opposition government. I wonder whether all these are important?? Whether that statue of a lady can change so much?? Will it change the face of TamilNadu?? How rudiculous the political parties are to wait for a small opportunity to blame the opposition?? How ignorant we people are to stil follow these leaders and talk high of them, inspite of all these childish stuffs they do?? Are they concerned only about this statue when there are lots n lots of problems remain unattended??
On thinking more on these lines,...Does the statue deserve all these respect..???? leave alone the statue.. does the lady KANNAGI deserve all these respect???? is she worth so much??? what significant thing she did in her life to gain such a big name in our tamil literature??? the answer that i got for all these questions is a BIG NO.....
Infact, she has set a BAD EXAMPLE for the generations to come. Let me not describe her story again. But, it was very crude and unhumanitarian on her part to destroy the whole of the Madurai town for the loss of her husband. The Pandian king being the real culprit in giving out his judgement, how come its right on her part to burn the entire Madurai thereby claiming the lives of thousands of innocent citizens?? Is claiming the lives of the innocent people is a great bravery act to be placed in the history books??? She could have punished the king alone or did anything else not to affect the poor people. For all her lunatic behaviour which deserved a punishment, she was given a great honour.
Its even more disheartening that her life has been taught to the young school students as a part of their curriculum. They are mislead by this behaviour of hers and made to assume that, its fair to affect the lives of the civilians just to get thier work done. No wonder, nowadays there are lots of clashes, strikes and terrorist activity. Even the most recent Dharmapuri bus immolation incident is similar to what Kannagi has done. Dont blame them. They have been brought up in that way.
Not only kannagi, even most of the personalities in our so-called epics and godly tales have set a bad example for us. If its Rama in Ramayana to doubt his wife after all the struggle to retrieve her from Ravana, its the turn of the Pandava brothers to gamble over their wife. Lord Krishna is said to have lots of wives, the forerunner of existing custom of polygamy.
The worst act was performed by Lord Shiva. The poet Nakeeran was reduced by flames by him. The guilt of Nakeeran is being honest?? For finding the fault in the poem composed by the Lord and saving his King from awarding the prize to a poem that doesnt deserve the prize, he was punished. From that period, it has been considered as a sin to be honest. Nowadays, many of the rare honest officials are being punished for being honest and discharging the real duties expected of them. The fore-runner behind this is the Lord himself.
In all, our fore fathers have mislead us by telling the stories of people who have played with the lives of others just for their selfish motive. This way, we were made to praise and follow someone, who doesnt deserve such a treatment. All the ancient stories and personalities has set real bad examples for us.
Dont know where all these will lead to??????????????????
