On the eve of the release of the magnum opus DASAVATHARAM I would like to share my thoughts on this great personality PADMASHREE DR.KAMAL HAASAN who stands as a testimony to acting. My earliest memory of watching a kamal movie is in Podhigai.The film was NAYAGAN.(He was indeed a "Ulaga NAYAGAN")It created such a huge impact in me that i never missed it whenever it was telecast in any channel.And APPORVA RAAGANGAL & AVARGAL  which i watched later also became my favourites.Each of his movies are unique and has a touch of proficiency because of his presence.(The list of my fav among his movies is soo huge tat i ll need a separate blog entry to write abt it). Even in a guest role he made his presense felt.Every role fits him perfectly or should it be He fits himself into every role tat he plays. The homework and research that he puts for every movie is enormous. His passion and dedication towards each of his movies plays a very important role in making it a huge success.HIS CANVAS was spread not only in kollywood but also in many other languages.Who can forget his "EK THUJE KE LIYE"? He kick started his career as a child artiste.The kutty kamal singing "AMMAVUM NEEYE" still haunts our memories.And this legend strikes back every time with a renewed vigour. Hats off to you sir. EAGERLY WAITING FOR THIS SUMMER TREAT DASAVATHARAM. And expecting another MIND BLOWING PERFOMANCE from ur TEN AVATHARS..

From ur ardent fan.

                             Hailing from a middle class family, i have also been summat affected by the fuel price hike(wat else? My parents hv cut down my pocket money ;(  ) The worst reality is tat the cooking gas price  has been hiked by FIFTY RUPEES (tats quite a huge amount considering the hard work tat our parents indulge themselves in) This has created a huge impact in all stratas of our society. OK we must agree that this was unavoidable.BUT there is a hidden aspect which adds to our irritation and  causes a considerable hole in our pockets.But we hesitate or rather neglect it.Can u make a wild guess?? Its the service charge tat the lpg gas provider DEMANDS FOR.I AM NOT WRONG.Wat they ask 4 is not a request but a menacing DEMAND. Most of us here are forced to give watever extra amount they ask for.IF we refuse, we have to encounter some abusive language.We cant even protest as we r in need of their services always.BUT as CONSUMERS WE HAVE GOT EVERY RIGHT to voice out our opinion against this injustice.ITS IN OUR HANDS TO COME OUT OF OUR SHELL to reveal the truth.WE SHOULD LEARN TO EXERCISE OUR RIGHTS AS WE NEVER COMPROMISE ON OUR DUTIES.So friends please dont hesitate or shy away from ur rights as a GOOD CONSUMER OF OUR NATION.WILL THE CONCERNED AUTHORITIES TAKE NOTICE OF THIS?.Only time should answer our query.

         HI pals.I feel great to be back to blogging..I have gotta congratulate those who r waiting to get into the col and course of their choice.WAIT A MIN. did i say "their choice"?? Hmmm tats a question which makes me ponder. How many of us here r studying the course which is really close to our heart? A magnanimous quantity of us would reply in the negative(tat includes me OF COURSE ;( ) And to our friends out there - how many of u would be(rather should it be "hw many would be permitted to choose??") choosing YOUR CAREER.. BUT  the reality strikes us here.. MOST OF US here are forced or rather convinced to opt for the CORE BRANCHES OF STUDY(should i name them?.I hope most of us are fed up of hearin it again & AGAIN) Why should a student be forced to take up THE CORE branch just bcoz he/she has scored more than 95% (when his/her interest may lie in something else..)?? After all its the student who is gonna do all the work and the elders just escape after giving them dis so called guidance..IS THE SOCIETY TO BE BLAMED OR OUR IGNORANT PARENTS??.. Every area has its own scope and if a person chooses a career of his choice he gives 100% to it(no doubt about that).. but the general mind set of our parents (which is nourished by our over enthusiastic neighbours relatives and some X and Ys) is that Only THE PROFESSIONAL COURSES hv scope and gives u ready made jobs.. GOD SAVE US..dear parents please update yourself abt recent trends and shut yourself away from your kith and kin atleast two months b4 counselling..believe in wat ur son or daughter says.. If your son wants to study photography, let him... WHO knows - he may become the worlds most famous photographer one day.. But if u r keen on forcing them to study the course of ur choice they may end up as "one in a 1000".. So PARENTS its in your hands whether u want ur child to be unique or otherwise... STUDENTS dont let anyone tresspass your choice. STICK TO IT AND ACHIEVE.. THERE R OPPORTUNITIES GALORE IN THIS WORLD, WAITING TO EMBRACE YOU.. GOOD LUCK..
