[Source – Sujatha’s Column in Kumudam ]
The last time he said that was in Vikatan. I had duly noted it on the blog, even then. Here’s the blogpost, Aathalinal Kaathal Seithen. Luckily you don’t need a UID/Pass to read the old column. FYI, this is a classical Sujatha style column.
Though I couldn’t buy his argument from the perspective of a society, his science seems to convince me.
Bill Gates talks to Channel 9, the Microsoft Video Blog. Unlike the usual interviews where formal keynotes and strategies are discussed, this one is a welcome break.
Gates is very informal in this seventeen minute clip. Though essentially played in Channel 9 as a curtain raiser to Mix 06, there are some interesting questions asked and answered.
Jeeva, R B Chaudary’s son, seems to be a natural actor. Couple of days back, I watched his first flick Aasai Aasaiyai and some parts of his latest flick , Dishoom. He is completely cool about his on-screen presence which I think most of our new generation heroes fail badly. Either they have to keeping moving on screen or they have to do something to hide their nervousness. Jeeva seems very very cool and his dialogue delivery is so natural that Vijay / Ajith / Simbhu can rightaway take join a two hour training session with him. And yeah, he is pretty tall and also capable of some good kollywood’s gyrating dances.
Contrary to the public opinion, I disliked his characterization and his performance in Ram. And the movie sucked so badly that I wished it was never taken in the first place. If only he could sign-up for the ‘right movies’ unlike Ram, I’m sure he is going to hang around for some more time to come.
Was listening to an old favorite, Minsaaram Enn Meethu Paaikindrathey from Vidhyasagar’s Run. Absolutely elegant music with amazing use of percussions. The rushing tempo is also maintained throughout the song.
Harish Raghavendra was at his very best. Sadhana Sargam has been my favorite ever since her hindi debut except that her Tamil sucks. Azhagan becomes Alagan and so on. But then, I only wish she could get the pronounciation straight. Astounding voice. I think the guy who shouts Kaadhal Seeyae(continously) and the humming before the first saranam is the one listed as Jack Smely. What a team effort.
This was a personal favorite for a group of friends and we would listen to it all the time while driving. Forgot it somewhere down the line but enjoyed it thoroughly today.

How much ever I dislike to talk about the petty issues surrounding the Tamil literature circles, Kutti Revathi’s interview to Kumudam’s Theeranadhi was more meaningful than just throwing duppatas. This interview is a must read if you understand what the paragraph below is trying to convey.
I completely agree with these statements made on the state of tamil literary reviews. Especially the last 4 lines draws a vivid picture. And before you start reading the complete interview, I have to say this, What’s said here is also applicable to Indian Blogosphere.
P.S – Just in case you login to Theeranadhi to read the interview don’t miss, Kamala Pudumaipithan’s re-collection of pudumaipithan days.
