Tamizhum Tamizhanum - II ( Fan Clubs )

Vishal Rasigar Manram, I really surprised to this new fan club in my native place but I was not shocked this time, because I got enough amont shock when I saw many fan clubs like this in the past years for actors like Viajy, Ajit, Surya, Prabu deva, Simbu, Barath, Siddarth, Dhanush, even more to list. Tamil youths are ready to start more & more fan clubs for future heroes. As usual Rural and Small town youth are Victims of these fan clubs.

Most of them well known about the existence of Rajini and Viajayakant fan clubs( Recently named changed as DMDK).If you unaware about these fanclubs, for you some of the activities of fan clubs which I know,

The number of Members in the fan club = the number of Designations in the fan club. Each one will get one designation. They are always ready to create new designations for new members.

The higher level position goes to the member who ready to spend more money and time for the Fan club. (President, Vice President, Secretary, etc…..

There is no restriction for Fan club name but should mean that particular hero, Mostly heroes nickname and his movies.(Thala Ajit, Gilli Vijay...)

They will act as brand ambassador for their hero’s nick name, new style and upcoming movies. They will never get any benefit out of this. (Almost one photo standing near to t actor).

They have to spend their own money for Banners, Cut outs, Posters for all the brand building activities of that particular Hero.

They will watch many times that particular hero movie and proud to say that.

Some times Different fan clubs members fight with each other to express they are “DIE HARD” fans.

Most of my friends are didn’t accept these actors behaviors have more influential with the fan club members. Here most of them are Followers rather than be a Fan. They are ready to accepts whatever that particular hero says.

I just got a forwarded message few months back about Chandramuki movie huge commercial hit, whose money is that? I don’t think none of my educated friends(Mostly Rajini fans) watched many times in theatres. Another think Cinema industry is become back door entry for Politic & who knows may be the fan clubs will become some of future political parties like DMDK.

But the thing is in Tamilnadu actors are not just STAR, they treated as GOD by many groups.

Padithathil Pidithavarkal- Amazing Characters

Recently I watched Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu, One more typical Gowtham movie in the series of Kakka Kakka, But nothing special about Kamal performance(Story might be the reason for that).Most of the time we never care about character names in movies, Hardly we will remember Hero & Heroine character name .But I felt Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu is differenct in this aspect, Still I remember most of the character names Rahavan, Ilamaran, Amudhan, Aarathana, Maya, Aarathana, Arokyaraj, Rani.....Humm ya Kayalvizhi.I like to give chance for others to think of some names if you have seen Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu movie.
In this same process I thought about some unique charcters which are Attrackted & Attacked me .Sometimes it is hard accept these kind charcters in the real world. Hats of to the autors who were created these wonderful characters and unique personalities. I listed few charcters which I like it more I hope there is no explanations required about these characters.

Is it Stupid Box?

Really it’s make a difference the house with TV and Without TV. One of my roommate got transfer to bangaore, so he took away TV and most of the other resources which belongs to him. Now our Hall totally lost its beauty & importance without TV. We are bored like anything without TV, and now we are compelled speak with each other but now interaction is something different like daily life routine, family issues, some time flashback of college life. Really I felt it different & good in last few days even though I am missing some valuable telecasts, in terms of spending more time with friends.

Few years back I read one article in Dianamani which was about TV and its usage by the people. The crux of the article is decreasing communication between the family members because of spending more time in watching TV; I think it is hundred percent acceptable truths. Most of the us spending our time by discussing about Mega serials, Politics or Stock market according to their status and knowledge base but we don’t know what things are happening in our house & personal interest of each other.(In Thiruda Thirudi movie karuna jokes like we are saying actors name with Initial like K R Vijaya but most of them don’t know what’s parents initials & Interests . We are giving more importance to Rajini Birth day, but how many of us will remember our family members).So it’s better to give importance & spend more time to discuss with our relations and friends rather than some one who don’t know about us.

Most of the time I surprised about the level of communication among the people in rural area, If some new person entered in to their territory the next second most of them will get the information without any advanced communication devices. If u ask about some person they will say the whole history.So if somebody says they are giving free colour TV for knowledge Enhancement ( By watching Mega serials & Movies) of rural poor people to just increase their customer base and adding more victim for their hundred percent full entertainment visuals its total………….(Plz fill the blank with your favorite Bad word).

Mathi Cartoon Special - I

Dinamani most of them don’t know about this Tamil daily, According to me this is the only news paper which still maintains its creditability without supporting any political party. Dinamani the only Tamil daily which have standard format and give less importance to advertisements and cinema. (Actually they forced to put cinema news few years back to increase their circulation). I never missed to see Mathi Cartoons which is my favorite. Actually I knew about only few cartoonists R.K Laxman, Mathan….But its really creative and tough task to express a whole issue in the single picture which should be funny and easy to understand by readers.

Specialties of Mathi cartoon are so simple, funny & criticize or appreciate the politicians without any double standard.

Some samples to Taste.

Mathi Cartoon Special - II

Middle Class Memories - II

After long time I am adding one more post in this topic, last time most of friends confused and forced to convince themselves about this topic. This is to share some of the common feelings and characteristic of my friends. Please try to avoid posting in this topic if you don’t find some the characteristics mentioned here.

You never buy a cinema ticket for double rate to simply say in block.
You will think & discuss for some time before giving the tips.
If you try to avoid travel in auto as much as possible.
You never hesitate to ask the change for bus ticket.
First you will the see the price of the product rather than any other features.
Most of the time you will buy products in the Discount.
You will bargain with the vendor up to the extreme level, some time when he refuses otherwise started to scold.
You might be comfortable with reading friends, second hand or pirated books rather than original books
You will compare several brands only in the price aspects to choose.
You always say road side shop food is tastier than Restaurants
You will be optimal user of internet in the browsing center & never exceed the time limit.
You will think and feel guilty if missed or spoiled some costly products & you will struggle to sleep & eat.

It’s time up, so move for the topic now.

For this month it’s my routine to pay the house rent, when was leaving to pay one of my roommates also joined with me because he got the transfer to Bangalore so he thought to discuss with owner to get some clarifications about advance amount which he paid.

We met the house owner (one more addtion for Murphy’s Law : Metro city house owners always has many houses, who will earn lacs in rent) and started to talk about the advance and rent, just we thought to reduce the rent because some times it’s hard to accept Three thousand five hundred per head but as a normal house owner in the metro cities he refused to reduce by saying several reasons prime location, no water problem, so much of demand for this house and he has plan to rise the rent after six month.
Some times I feel bad for simply paying 3500 rupees as a rent but some of them paying more than 4000. I remember this is the total budget per month for most of the families in the towns like my native place.. I used to convince myself with several reasons like Metro city, Girls with tight jeans & T-shirt etc…..But still the ROI is not sufficient, like in Sathi Leelavathi movie Covai Sarala will ask the price of leather wallet but she will be surprised about the price and reply I will buy a cow for this price in my native place

Do you know the Reason?

I like to share some the common scenes of the Tamil movies. Even though so many changes happened in the Tamil cinema, but still these sequences are not changed.

Some of the sequences which I know.

Hero will change his get up for enter into Villain place to take revenge, Just he will change his face by Big moustache, and dresses (Mostly Sardar).He will dance and sing But still villain could not recognize hero.

If hero worked in military, always he will come to the native village in the Uniform

Symbol of Rape seasonà Tiger will jump over cow
Bird caught in net
Scattered dresses of heroine.

Hero will beat villain only after getting three hits from Villain, Or When he sees blood in his lips

Court Scenes – Hero will beg for punishment for the committed crime even though court will release form the case.

Is some very bad thing happened to Hero or Heroine- everything will stop for the sec.
Like waves of sea, flying birds, movements of coconut trees.

Police will never catch hero until he revenge all the villains.

Initially hero & heroine don’t like each other; always they get into fight because of So called misunderstanding, after one good instance (Mostly hero will the the heroine from the rowdy kumbal) they will fall in love.

Hero single handedly control the bull after some injuries ( Simply say kalaya Adakkurathu, except Rama Rajan )

In any game hero team initially will lose many points (Mostly villain team cheats), but finally hero will save his team in cut throat competition.

I think its enough now

Tamizhum Tamizhanum

Recent news of karnataka about compulsory Kannada medium schools, Name change of Bangalore To Bengaluru, ( So still changing the city names continues Madras -Chennai, Bombay -Mumbai, Culcutta To Kolkota).Might be Karnataka government forced to do these kind of decisions(mistakes) which is already implemented in Tamilnadu. These kind of political dramas happening all over India for the "NAME" Sake to show there social interest and to divert the people mind from the core issues .But I could not find reason how changing the city name will help the people and in which way its shows the social identity.

In Tamilnadu some politicians keep on exploiting the people in the name of Tamil Patru. Everybody should love there Mother Tongue whichever it is, but restricting people to learn other languages how will help to development of mother Tongue. I don't think Hindi opposition is the right solution for Tamil development. Only middle and low class people are prohibited to learn other languages because they are totally depend upon the government sources. Instead of forcing the people, try to create more & more interest in their mother tongue. Politicians giving more importance to cinema & actors just to get there support during the election time. Instead of giving more importance to cinema, Government should focus on Tamil literature & folk dances. There is no doubt tamil society constantly losing it’s identity in literature, Novels.

I couldn’t find any writers in this generation like Kalki, Jayakanthan, Pudumaipithan. It is just because of no recognition and reward for the writers. I have doubt is there any state award for writers. Even most of the novels and books are not available OR otherwise too costly.( When I tried to buy Ore Iravu written by C.N. Annadurai I couldn’t get).Instead of making more & more Anna statutes It will be better to publish some his writings in low price edition.
