To Madurai and back, yet again !!

Was on impromptu trip to Madurai alongwith the rain and the winds. It’s raining cats and dogs in Madurai. You could see only a sample of that here in Chennai. The deepavali hungama in Madurai is already hot. From 50% discounts to Silk Sarees to 75% off on hankies, Madurai is on a high. However, they could improve the standards of the Madurai FM Radio. The afternoons are nothing but mere how-to-make-thakkali-briyani. Too bragging at times.

Actor Rajesh [remember his classic, Antha 7 Naatkal] has a hotel down the Ulunthurpet highway. All KPN buses do lodge there for a refreshment. And so both ways, I did have a chance to smack the food there. Other than the delicious tiffin they supply, the hotel has a nice decor. With wall hangings of the tamil cinema greats, they also feature potraits of hollywod greats like Marlon Brando, Roger Moore and many others. Probably they are some of Rajesh’s personal inspirations. In the middle of that lonely highway, it was a feel good to have dinner with a cinema taste.

During my return from Madurai, on A/C bus of KPN, we were just 6 people on the bus. Surprisingly they operated the bus and landed us on time. More Surprisingly, the A/C was working. I couldn’t have dreamt of such professionalism some years back.

On the way back via Trichy, the best thing happened. Know what, Cauvery has water. On the banks of Srirangam, Cauvery which was earlier a dry barren land, has atleast water that is moving, if not gushing. The sight of Cauvery running around made my day and the glimpse of Srirangam gopuram made it better.

After all this, I personally think, if you plan a impromptu trip(is that an oxymoron?), you are going to enjoy it. Sure.

Looks like Rajini has started shooting Chandramukhi. Interestingly, not a single poster or even an adv has appeared on the dailies. Except for this Chandramukhi official website which has links to exclusive pooja pictures. If only it was Mani Ratnam film, I could comprehend why. This one makes me inquisitive.

Here’s a another bonker bonks for you. Dhanush and Rajinikanth’s daughter Aishwarya are getting married on November 18th. So whats has been a rumour for sometime now, has come true[Thanks, Dhina Thanthi]. The Kadhal Konden guy is the mapillai of Super Star. Super Star a mapillai by himself. Aren’t you getting it ?

    Ada popa,

    Rajini is always a mystery. He shows that even in his daughter’s marriage.

    I saw the Dinathanthi paper poster today. Is it true? Danush and Asihwarya, and so fast?
    It was Simbu – hailed as Little Super Star – in kisukisu with Aishwarya. Danush is professional competition for Simbu who made his name with a simple face (much like Rajini) and good stories – mostly kind of non-Heroic roles (again like Rajini). Now Danush is rumored to get married to Rajini’s daughter, and not Simbu – the little super star…
    Alsmot like Rajini’s latestventure – Jaggubhai suddenly shelved, and Chandramukhi silently making advances…
    Ithuu epdi irukku?

    Rajinikanth is a great actor and good human being.
    i am an ardent & die hard fan of Rajinikanth.
    Nobody can be like him. He is a Superstar but
    he is very simple and down to earth.

    There is one and only one Superstar and that is
    our great superstar Rajinikanth.

    when u hear the word superstar, it means non other than Superstar.

    i am glad to give my comments here.

    YOU RAJINI FANS ARE SO DELUSIONAL AND FOOLISH TO THINK HE IS A “MAHATMA” DEGRADING ALL OTHER ACTORS. IN FACT, IF YOU LOOK AT HIS LIFE BACKGROUND, YOU WILL COME TO KNOW HOW LOW-CLASS HE WAS IN BANGALORE. EVEN NOW, HE ACTS AS THOUGH HE IS A SEER(AANMEEGHAVAADHI), BUT BY LOOKING AT THE VULGAR SCENES, YOU CAN’T EVEN COMPARE HIS DIGNITY TO AN ORDINARY MAN/WOMAN. THEN WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CINEMA AND PROSTITUTION. WILL YOU JUSTIFY BOTH ARE “JOBS”? NONE OF THE TRUE PATRIOTS WOULD SPOIL OTHERS BY INVOLVING IN VULGARITY. HE HAS ACTED SO VULGARLY, COMMENTED SO VULGARLY. STILL ACTING IN VULGAR SCENES THAT TOO EVEN AFTER MARRIAGE AND EVEN..EVEN AFTER THE MARRIAGE OF HIS DAUGHTER.

    SO HORRIBLE. HARD WORKING APPLIES ONLY FOR GOOD WORKS, NOT BY SPOILING OTHERS. GATHERING MONEY AND POPULARITY IS NOT AN ISSUE, BUT THE WAY OF GATHERING MONEY AND POPULARITY IS VERY VITAL
