Recieved a FEDEXed parcel. Had asked my folks to send across one of my favorite T-Shirt which I had forgot to carry. Along with a pack of jav-arisi vadaams, Ashokamithran’s Katuraigal Part 1 and 2, I also got this purple tee-shirt. It had a fresh smell. A familiar Indian washing powder smell. Reminded me of my home at Chennai and I’m still wondering what a little smell can do to your mood swings.

The Hunt gets rolling
[On the Sets of VV. Image – Vikatan]Gautam Menon‘s interview to Vikatan clears off the rumor cloud surrounding Vettayadu Vilayadu. With the movie getting stuck on producer Khaja Mohideen’s attempted suicide, it is now afresh with Oscar Ravichandran taking over the movie production.
While waiting for the U.S visas, Gautam Menon says he has completed a schedule of shoot in India. He also upsets me by saying Vettayadu Vilayadu is just another face of Kakkha Kakkha in Kamal’s way. While I expected him to make a Kamal movie considering Kamal’s age, I certainly didn’t want another cop film to be churned out. Makes me wonder why my beliefs on Kodambakkam are a tad high than the reality. Though we could rest assured that the movie could be slick in cinematography and editing, I would have expected a non-cop film and for sure a non-Kakkha Kakkha type flick.
He also reveals that his next flick would be an Arya-Jyothika starrer. He seems to like Jyothika as an actress and that’s a consolation for me. Finally he speaks out the truth. SJ Surya might even stage a darna for that. While replying to a question on Ah Aha, he concludes, if only SJ Surya wouldn’t have acted in the movie, it could have been a hit like Kushi. We agree Gautam !! We agree a ton with you.

Are you just curious today ?
So if you mamma said, Don’t talk to strangers, she was right, then. Not anymore. On the internet, a stranger wants you to answer a question. Ofcourse when you answer you get a chance to ask a question. Take a timepass spin if you are Just Curio.us. Anonymity is the key.

Two Sides of a Story
If this side of the story is like this, from India’s National Newspaper dt Sat Oct 1, 2005 –
The photographs of young men and women drinking and couples kissing were published to reveal the `immoral’ goings-on at the party. The odd thing was that no one in these pictures was “scantily clad” (as alleged by the police) but the affair exposed the hypocrisy of a tabloid and tabloidising section of the press that regularly publishes `scantily clad’ and suggestive pin-ups of film actresses as a circulation booster.
the other side also has its own qualms, from The People’s Paper dt Oct 15, 2005 –
The moral jury stepped out in Chennai last week to pronounce that five star hotels are ‘holy’ places where police cannot enter. The jury was appalled at the mention of the word ‘obscenity’ and, pray, what bar licence? The conservatives in the city breathed fire, the jury was not concerned. For them, the rest could go to hell. The Chennai Police, they said, had no right to suspend the hotel’s licence.
But in Chennai, it’s not a big deal to find an escort these days. Just hang around the pubs and the discotheques. If not, there are classifieds to fall back on. One ad reads thus: “If you are an independent escort and willing to provide a full service, please contact me.”
Mylapore might be continents away from Malibu but Chennai’s hit the fast lane. To where, is a question the moral jury should decide as it careens between police stations and discos.
By now way this is to compare the quality of newspapers. Just extreme samples from an entire gamut of perspectives. To which extreme of this spectrum you belong, is a priceless question to your value system ?
