The Decline of North (to South)

Who is not a Cinema freak here?? Show me one. If U can?!

Those days, in England, "freak" was mostly used to mock a person or insult him. But now, it's the most frequently used word among the youngsters of India to introduce themselves to their new mates or even their Girl/Boy Friends. Especially the most abundantly used labels are "Cinema Freak", "Cricket Freak", "Music Freak" and so on. Interesting.

Well something that tops the list is Cinema freak. Yeah. Cinema has crossed nearly 8 - 9 decades after it's entry into the nation. It is one such field which had shown only improvement along it's course. Right from technical improvements to subject improvisation. Thousand of artists, Hundreds of Creators, Lakhs and Crores of fanatics. Why is the craze? Who creates it? Who is gotta be benefited? Everyone actually.

Bollywood/ Hindi Movie Industry is/was one of the vast industries in the country. It gave the nation, Legends and Masters of the field. Mumbai(Bombay) became one of the most important cities of the world even for this reason. People from all 32 directions of the nation, marched into the city in search of a Big Spot in the industry. Many started learning Hindi, even for this. (Remember Mumbai's state language is Marathi. That is a different issue) Large money was in rotation. Investments grew bigger, and so the technology too. People like Satyajit Ray even got Oscars, however unnoticed. Indianism was showed at it's best. Heroines were impartially beautiful. Heroes started performing somersaults and Triple Jumps even on water. Songs replaced the traditional Carnatic and Hindustani music forms. Wholly, the industry was on fire.

Meanwhile, Tamil film industry was growing at a snail's speed, however constantly. There were only live recordings. Music almost filled 3/4th of the movies. Acting was at it's best, mostly "overperformed". Heroines weren't that beautiful (since they wore only Sarees, closing their back, front, top, bottom everything) but they illustrated the real Feminism at it's best. Thanks for that. Creators weren't good at first. Something was missing. Then, the pace started to grow. Improvements were perfectly put up. Creators came up with astonishing abilities. Sometimes, even Heroes stood as living examples as how an actor must be. Summarising, the industry wasn't on fire. But was slowly lighting up.

Bollywood got the whole craze. No other industry in the nation grew at that pace and got both money and fame as reward. It did. Heroes became the saviours of the world. Heroines became the angels down to earth. A lot of times, it even became the source of creativity. A number of films were remade by slowly opened industries of various languages and parts of the nation. specially Tamil. Then, Kodambakkam knew the tactics how to improve the industry. They had Bombay as a source. Started importing Heroines and even stories. Sometimes Films too. Hundreds of films were "Copied" whether informed or uninformed. Heroes started imitating those at Bollywood, including their dressing styles. Things were moving on.

Time is always a powerful factor It changed things upside down. Now, the South started growing at the maximum pace. North was hanging behind it's back, all along the track. Investments increased in the South. Even bigger production houses from the north, anchored their marines in the south. The compass pointer deflected towards south. Bollywood started importing Heroes, Heroines, Technicians and even Directors from Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam industries. Northeast Monsoons changed their course and started blowing as Southwest Monsoons. Money was the deciding factor. Advertising invaded every nook and corner possible. Hindi industry started fearing about things happening. Still, they were left helpless.

Amitabh Bhachchan started to Tweet about Rajnikanth, who once acted in remade films that were the former's originals.
Largely praised heroines like Sri Devi, Aishwarya Rai, Shilpa Shetty were actually from south.
The dreams of hundreds of people in that industry about an Oscar was achieved by a young Music Director, originally from South - Rahman.
Films from South were remade in large numbers in Hindi - Ghajini, Bodyguard, Wanted and so on.
Directors from South were welcomed with Red Carpets.
Technicians like Rasool Pookutty from south won Oscars, while people at north were still envying them.
Dance choreographers like Raju Sundaram, Prabhu Deva were depicted as Examples and models for people there.
Folk singers like Chinnaponnu from South started performing at MTV Music Nights.
The traditional "KHAN" surnames in Hindi started praising the heroes at South and considered tweeting about these Big Names in South as a Big Honour.
The White skinned, overrated young male faces at Bombay started dating out with South Indian Beauties.
South Indian Film Industries started winning Cricket matches against those powerful Bollywood stars even.
Sharukh Khan was hibernating his dream project, only to confirm whether Shankar's Robo is not something of the same storyline.
Bollywood's high profile Deepika Padukone was excited to be paired up with Rajnikanth.
Everything changed. But it took decades for this change.

Tamil and Malayalam films were attending International Film Fests when not even one Hindi film was selected for the same events. People at south, once who were always ill-treated comparing with those big fishes at bollywood, now started raising their collars in Pride. The change was unstoppable. The Men at South too.
Everything came up in shape. Budget of films started crossing 1 Billion INR. That's big money.

So, now South is rising to heights that gets the first sunshine, the first raindrop, the first snowfall. But again, Time is the strongest factor. Things may go for a change. Stats may be reversed. Everyone must stay conscious. New creators must come up. People should stop "Copying" firstly. Because, people now started seeing English, Spanish, Dutch, Japanese movies even.

But still, Creators will never stop taking birth. Creations will never restrain their structure. Beyond the limit achievements are on their way. People have paved the path. It's just what transport you take to travel. Slow or fast, progression is what needed. Still, the only demand to be placed is - PLEASE STOP SPOILING THE TRADITION AND CULTURE. Women are not any sexually illustrated contents as shown in Western Films. Stop imitating that attitude in Indian Cinema.

Whatever it is, booking tickets for "First Day First Show" is not gonna be stopped.
70 feet Cut-Outs will always keep on increasing in size.
Heroines will be getting hotter everyday.
And that is what the CRAZE is all about.

MAY THE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES GET MORE SCOPE.

HAIL THE ART

God Bless.

Are We Independent??


Hey Nation. Hey Comrades. Hey Brothers and Very Few Sisters(Sorry. I ought to be safe). Hey Friends,

You know what! We gonna celebrate our 65th Independence Day in another fortnight. Well. What a Pride it is! What a richness it ought to be! What a feeling it raises in every nerve of every one of Us! Divine.
Undoubtedly, We are INDEPENDENT. Yup! We get up early in the morning. Oh! May be late too. Use our desired brand toothpaste, soap, whatsoever. Dress up in Formals or Casuals or Western Outfits or sometimes even rags too. Why not? Sometime we go back to bed too. Who cares? Well, then we ride our branded Car, Scooters, Motor Bikes, Cycles or atleast manage to get a Bus ticket or a Railway pass. Occasionally we travel without a ticket too. Again, who cares? It's a Heroic deed right? Seat ourselves in a well-comforted Chair in Schools, Colleges or Offices. Eat a costly Lunch, mostly Pizzas and Burgers. Buy a movie ticket for the eve, with friends or relationship partners. Spend a lump'sum of money at some renowned Coffee Shop or some Restaurant with all 7 color lights. Sometimes even 8th and 9th colors can be seen. Get back home. And go to bed. ---- This makes us independent right?? We have sufficient money, time to whine, leisure to have fun. What more someone would need?

We are ready to claim our FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS prescribed in our law. But not ready to do the FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES printed below the above same. We do not pay the taxes at time. We do not pay correct taxes. We do not care about others. We do not think as a group. We do not voluntarily get in and amend the blunders that we ourselves created. And atlast we'll call ourselves as INDEPENDENT. It's a Joke.

INDIA is One Nation. For you, rather we to get up as per our wish in the morning, hundred thousands of men at the border should not sleep at all. Did anyone think that way? Not at all. Thinking all those is a third-rated crime. Right? We'll all complain about the inefficiency of the government, forgetting the fact that that is some down to earth party that's ruling and we were the ones who voted and gave them the power. Yeah we have sense. We change the government in the next elections. But what's the point? Both the politicians and people not gonna change. Only the government's gonna change every five years. Okay! I agree. No politician is good. The word Politician is gonna be given an additional meaning "Corrupted" in the forthcoming dictionaries. But then, what's the solution? Common man getting into politics? Students discussing politics. Oh No! Never speak about that. It's a sin in this nation. Getting scholarships and being selected in recently evolved Campus Interviews is the birth duty of a youth. Else, he'll not be praised. He'll not be treated good. He'll not get a bride too. Sick!

We raise voices in pride that we are independent. But, are we really?? Have we ever thought about that?? No. Not at all. We skipped that flashing thought, when Katrina showed up in that some company hair remover ad. Because that is more important right? Well. Keep it that way. But atleast realize that she is paid in millions for removing her body hair. But we need to pay our own bill, even for trimming our mustache. The reality is real. What carries you away is just illusion and fun. But we are not ready to think about that.

Even now, in many villages, children know Independence Day is a just another day, in which headmaster/headmistress gives away those orange color half a penny chocolates and they never fail to be present there only to get the chocolates. Many don't even know "Vande Mataram" and "Jana Gana Mana". It's not their fault. It's the nation's fault. Many scholars are always obsolete. They gain fame by involving themselves in uninvited matters. For example, A R Rahman's composition of modern National Anthem. They said it wasn't sung in the time limit of 51~52 seconds. Don't they have any brain or heart? Who the crap gonna note or calculate the timing, when singing the pride of the nation? Isn't it illogical?

Fine. The most of Us travel in trains and buses everyday. How many times we've been stopped in traffic, only because some damn politician crosses that road in another 1 or 2 hours? How much time have we wasted for that in lifetime? Who's gonna pay us for all that hours, if we have worked in all of them? You know what! This is the only place where the so-called Servants of the Public gets the highest privilege for being corrupted. In no land or time in history, servants enjoyed their Life more than the masters. Here, only 4 months before elections, we'll hear the words "You are the masters. We are here to serve You". At once after the election result dates, everything is turned upside down. Now you have to serve them. Even if you aren't ready, they'll take whatever they want for themselves. Sometimes, lakhs of crores too.

Anyways, who's gonna care? Our bank balance should be increased every week. Our enjoyments shouldn't have any damage. We will never stand against anyone in Life. We don't have backbones. We are just spectators and critics of what is happening. We are not ready to step in to stand against any sort of legal and moral breach in the society.
British ruled us for more than 340 years. That is 3 and half centuries or 34 decades. We've lost treasures, money, wealth, resources, sometimes Life too. But we got Railways, Airways, Bridges, Education, Science, Cricket, after all UNITY. But these Indian politicians have not even crossed a century of ruling. But we've got Unemployment, Sanitation problems, Corruption, Rowdism, Terrorism and after all we LOST the Unity.

I agree. India has developed. To a very large extent. Else otherwise, I would not have got an opportunity to write this even. But still, those developments are because of very few people who dreamed of a better India and worked for that. They are Legends. Just realize, a very few was able to bring about this change. Then, what if the ONE BILLION brains work? Where will we be standing right now? Planet Pluto would have been a place for Summer Vacation, then. Andromeda Galaxy would have been a Honeymoon spot sometime. Because remember, Indians are the wisest persons on earth. We've proved that in most of the occasions. We were brave too. Even now. But we don't stand up against the bad cause that easily. Come out of that.

The time is not far, that we become a Supreme Power. The time has come. We are now, One Billion efficient resource factories. Live Up to your dreams. Don't restrict yourselves to small dreams. Try to dream for your, rather our nation too. We are not far behind. We never want to rule the world. At the same time, we should let no others to do so. Fight against every single deteriorating factor. Raise Up to show we are not short of anything. We have 2 billion shoulders to dwell in. We have 2 billion hands to give you one, in need. Live for those one billion hearts. We got to show the world we are a group of the best creations of nature. We got to tell them we are nowhere behind anyone. Scream Big that WE ARE COMING.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Go India. Go.

வர்ணனை செய்ய வார்த்தைகள் எங்கே??

உன் வெட்கம் வர்ணிக்க வார்த்தைகள் இல்லை..
உலக மொழிகளின் அகராதிகளில்..
இயற்கையிடம் கடன் கேட்டேன்..
இயற்கையும் தேட ஆரம்பித்தது..

நிலாவிடம் சம்மதம் கேட்கப்பட்டது..
வெண்ணிலவு தயக்கம் காட்டியது..
உன் முக வெளிச்சத்தில்..
அது காணாமல் போகுமோ என்று..

கடலிடம் அனுமதி கேட்டது..
அலைகள் பயந்து உள்வாங்கின..
உன் கண்ணொளி வீச்சில்..
கடல் வற்றிப் போகுமோ என்று..

நட்சத்திரத்திடம் கேட்டுப் பார்த்தது..
மாநாடு நடத்திய நட்சத்திரங்கள்..
உன் புன்சிரிப்பின் அழகைக் கண்டு..
மின்மினிகளாய் உதிர்ந்து கொட்டின....

பவழப் பாறையிடம் மனு செய்தது..
சற்று முன்வந்த பவழங்கள்..
உன் இதழசைவைக் கண்டு..
கடலுக்குள் கரைந்து போயின..

தேடித் தேடி அலுத்த இயற்கை..
தானே முன்வர முடிவெடுத்தது..
உன்னை ஒரு முறை பார்க்க விழைந்தது..
உன் வீட்டிற்கு அழைத்து வந்தேன்..

இளஞ்சூடான காலை பொழுது..
தங்கமாக ஜொலித்துக் கொண்டிருந்தாய்..
சூரிய கதிர்கள் உன் மேனியில் படர்ந்தவுடன்..
உன் முனுகள் சத்தமும் கேட்டது..

செல்லமாய் ஒரு சோம்பல் முறித்து..
மெல்ல நீ எழுந்தாய்..
திகைத்து நின்ற என்னருகே..
வழிந்தோடியது ஒரு திரவம்..

என்னவென்று பார்த்த எனக்கு..
சட்டென்று ஒரு அதிர்ச்சி..
உன்னைப் பார்த்த அந்த நொடி..
உருகிப் போயிருந்தது இயற்கை..

என்னிடம் வார்த்தைகள் இல்லை என்ற இயற்கை..
ஓடி ஒலிந்தது பூக்களின் நடுவே..
செய்வது அறியாத நான்..
இன்னமும் தேடி கொண்டிருக்கின்றேன் சொற்களை..

 

தமிழா தலை நிமிர்..

தமிழ்நாட்டு மானுடா !! தலை நிமிர்ந்து நில்லடா !!

சேர சோழ பாண்டியர்கள்..
எங்கும் வெற்றிக் கொடி நாட்ட !!

முச்சங்கம் வளர்த்த புலவர்கள்..
வைரத்தமிழை பொன்னில் பூட்ட !!

பாயும் புலியே வந்து நின்றாலும்..
முறத்தால் அடித்த பெண்கள் !!

துளைக்கும் குண்டுகள் வெடித்தாலும்..
கட்டபொம்மனின் அசையா கண்கள் !!

தன உயிரை விடவும் துணிந்து..
வெள்ளையனை வீழ்த்திய வாஞ்சி நாதன் !!

தாய் மணிக்கொடியை துறக்க மறுத்து..
தன உயிர் துறந்த திருப்பூர் குமரன் !!

முக்கண்ணனே எதிரில் நின்றும், குற்றம்..
குற்றமே என்ற நக்கீரன் !!

பாவம் என்ற பயம் தொடுத்தும்..
மதில்சுவர் ஏறிய இராமானுஜன் !!

தானம் போற்றும் கல்வெட்டு, மறவர்..
வீரம் உரைக்கும் ஜல்லிக்கட்டு !!

தமிழா ! வீரம் வழி வந்த வேங்கை நீ !!

கதிரவன் உன்னை சுட்டெரித்தாலும்..
கண்களை நீ மூடாதே !!

தலையில் மலையையே வைத்தாலும்..
தலை மட்டும் நீ தாழாதே !!

STRUGGLE OF LIVELIHOOD

The struggle had begun, Yeah!! The struggle had,
Since the single cell of a man strikes a woman’s,
Amidst the other million term of cells,
Yeah , The struggle had begun then.

A woman isn’t the weaker sex, here comes the reason
Men are capable of carrying only themselves
While the opposites carry two bodies at the same
Yea, The struggle starts then.

Pain is the worst thing ever experienced by the senses
We sense it before we take birth, inside our mom
It reaches the infinity when we come out
Oh My God!! Lemme take away my mom’s pain.

The Almighty is clever, he’s highly meaningful
That’s why he made us cry at the first moment of our breath
To make us realize the pains and agony that faces our future
And there the struggle begins to glow.

We are too selfish, even to our parents
We make our mom feel the pain inside her
Transfer it to our dad’s shoulders when we grow
They are the only souls which smile when we give pain.

We go places to learn the life, not knowing that it’s with us
We fight wars and battles, not knowing that victory is unstable
We point out each other for fallbacks not knowing our strength
Yeah , We forget that we are here to struggle.


Struggle, struggle, struggle. It's the key to Success.
Struggle, struggle, struggle. It's the quality of Life.
Struggle, struggle, struggle. It's the source of Livelihood.
Yeah , The struggle is continuing till your breath ceases.
