This would stop, When You and I stop using polythene bags, stop trashing them in the drainage, when all of us stop using the drainage as a trash bin and use the trash bins properly. How many times have we used the litter box kept in public places properly? On our return from Si'pore or States or from any other foreign country we boast of their road cleanliness and we are made to adhere to their rules. Do we at least try to put the waste near the litter box? When we the so called educated learn and educate the not so educated on the hazards of all this...This would stop...
This was a crude translation of a proverb that comedian Karunas (as pointed out by Chriz ) made famous in one movie. The Tamil original runs thus, “Kazhutha ketta, kutti suvaru” so you have the translation. I heard that line somewhere and I wondered especially having heard the translation as to what could have been the origin of the proverb. Any ideas? PS: I Googled it and did find something.
Silly Hindians, not knowing & not using are 2 different things. You don't know that many here know Hindi, you only know that we choose not to use Hindi, because it's our choice. Frankly it’s none of your business, what we wear or eat or speak. There is a lot of Hindi everywhere in Tamilnadu and often many are forced to use Hindi to communicate to the staff. If you observe closely there are many non native workers in Tamilnadu in the service industry. While many other states may have a welcoming attitude to people from other states who take up local jobs Tamilnadu has always welcomed them. Chennai or Madras has always been vaazha vaikkum Chennai, meaning it gives room for people to earn their bread in their chosen field. We still have Chinese dentists (the last few sadly) who don’t speak Mandarin here but Tamil to their patients in their clinics near Flower bazaar, Chennai. The supervisors of many service industries from shops, security service to hotels give instruc
I watched Jailer yesterday and strangely my mind went back to Annaathe and I found that there are not too many dissimilarities in the two. For starters both are helmed by super star fan boys and who brought their adulation to the silver screen with varying levels of success. Secondly both movies can be clearly separated into two halves and both halves were significantly different. There are also few others I picked up so listing below my score card for the same. 1. Title Both movies revolve around their titles and Annaathe was easier to understand, a local big man is called such and it is prevalent throughout the movie. In Jailer it comes to the fore only in a small and actually weak flash back. Annaathe – 1 Jailer – 0 2. Family relationship bond Both movies were built on a family connect. Despite the cringe daughter age sister and the melodrama, the brother sister bonding was the high light of the first half. Strangely in the plan to show the super star
have you watched the movie? it was indeed really great..

ReplyDelete@ Bee: Well said. I avoid plastic bags whenever possible. But the collective insensitivity of our people makes me hang my head in shame.
ReplyDeletethis will not end. never.communism might have been a solution but given the human mind's crookedness, i don't think this will ever end.
