  • Memories about a Lion!
    Once upon a time, I saw a lion in Nandan Kannan zoo. I had seen lions in Chennai’s vandalur zoo as well, but this lion, I saw was bigger and it looked every bit like the lions I had read about in the stories as a child. It evoked a kind of fear and awe in me, the feeling you have when you see the smaller hair in the back of your head rising in a moment of electric...

  • ..yaar Sivam..Nee naan Sivam..Anbe Sivam
    This, is the title track of the Tamil movie Anbe Sivam. Playing along a few times during the film, it seems like this song is just lain there and the characters, their experiences are gently and fittingly sprinkled all over the stanzas.

Probably that is the reason why I was able to accept...

  • V.Shekar’s dilemma
    If I say the  name of director V.Shekar or his production house – Thiruvalluvar kalai koodam(திருவள்ளுவர் கலைக்கூடம்), most cine lovers would blink for a while – except for those ardent Vadivelu, Goundamani and Senthil fans. He is one director...

  • Bala’s next – whats cooking? probably someone you know
    Sensationalism of topics apart – Thamizh film director Bala is one who is never tired of chronicling people whom we dont want to notice in our daily life. He takes his audiences into the fringes of our society showing us people who are literally on their fringes. His latest journey is taking him to Kasi and to people whom we never ever care to notice that they exist....
