    Translations, Subtitles and the Loss of Nuance
    In his Oscar acceptance speech, ARR said, “Ella Pughazhum Eraivanukke” along with that other gem from Deewar. A PFC author asked what it meant in Tamizh, and several authors translated it along the lines of “All Praise to the Almighty.” I added my nuanced (aka BS) translation, and said that it actually means, “Don’t praise me, praise...

    filmfare awards 2009 … bucking the trend

    Aandhi : Love, marriage, family and ambitions
    People fall in a situation and follow the passion generated out of this special situation called love and at that time they feel that every other thing in the life keeps less value before this passionate feeling called love. Life looks rosy and people think that it would remain rosy for ever if they follow the path of this love. That happens also with many and life becomes...
