Coimbatore. I grew up here. I crawled here. cried here. a piece of land that knows everything about me. I am going to leave from this land for time being to Chennai. it was my father who came here in search of job from his village in a southern part of Tamil nadu. he rooted here. then he married my mother and they came here.then I was born and then my sister. my mother for the first twenty years lived in tirunelveli. the next twenty years at Coimbatore. she was too attached to this place as like most of the people in this city. she don know anything about Chennai . there are streets that I walked more than hundred times. I did my most part of schooling and college here. now I am working in Chennai for two years and in these two years I was tryin here and there for opportunities to come back to Coimbatore. but some one some where some how wanted me to be in the capital of the state. don know why. so we are in the process of vacating from the Manchester of South India . The city has given us many good times. Our life style was induced by the city. child hood days were given to the city. some pets from nearby houses. dogs cats and few kuti papa s. I wish to come back to this bud in the Western Ghats as soon as possible. so the mystery is gettin folded and unfolded . I am writing this post from a place in our house in Coimbatore where I saw 2003 world cup match between India and Australia. India lost the match. In 2011 when we again reached final against Sri Lanka I came home just to see match from the very same place. Likewise there are many stories that makes me to say my blood group is not AB positive. but also ABC positive along with the land which brought up me.

Super Singer Junior
Yes .
I hate super singer junior .
I don know why exactly. but i feel some of these may be the reason.
Running the program for a longer duration. I think its nearly 15 months.
The program has gained many good reviews across the state, but using that factor over the limit for merge popularity and money is little bitter.
Initially reality shows were new to people over here; and i too was fond of it. but now its a different case. Many are bored of seeing reality shows in almost every number remote buttons show.
Making the parents dance or perform is unacceptable . And they make fun of their activities on the same screen itself.
It has brought in a situation where most of the Parents of this age, push their children to a singing class or a dancing class. Its a good thing to get away form book and develop a talent. but it should not come to a stage where go and learn music , so that u can be on tv before u are 15.
What about the childhood of these kids. getting fame is ok. but what about the normal childhood life that other kids get. this factor should not sit in their mind and heart. They are prone to be adamant or unruly. Till now children here have not faced such a situation. More importantly, don make the remaining 1 crore children of the state to feel as if they are unlucky as these kids are enjoying .
The culture . I am worried about the crying or shouting culture. Its just a damn show. The main aim behind this is to increase the TRP rate of show and not to get family united or share sorrows. No one should tell the kids that if u loose something u should cry . At the same time if u achieve something u should get something that makes you happy. My perspective is the if anything happens just calm yourself first and stay stable.
Daily one hour of your time is spent before TV compulsorily. Good or bad??? cant say.
I am not going to say that you should learn anything new or do interesting stuffs from that one hour. If you do what you wanted to do, that is really good. Why have the constrain of sitting before screen at that particular hour. Hurrying up in Traffic, Hypertension to not to miss, stopping people at home to see other channels, getting angry if somebody tunes to other. If you are enjoyin the program for the music its different thing. I just want to bring the negatives out.
I am in no way against the Channel or the Program. I was also a fan for it . But now, when the content and effects of the Program are not acceptable to me. I just stand .

Perai Sollava!!!
How do u feel if there is a person with same name as yours.
It s an awkward question to me. Actually i don feel comfortable. If some one calls
my name and i am turning towards them, but they are looking for someone else worthy.
The next stage of this is they when someone calls your name and u knew that u are
not the concerned person and you have stop yourself and not turn.
What if that person is in your same class or team, and he is more charming, fun to
be with . Ya the identity of your name goes to them, the fact is we don own it. But
it s thing that pricks me a bit.
It s more complicated "When you call person with your name". I do it very rarely .
may 1/50 days i ll do. Its hardly possible to tease them with their name. I smile if
i see a new person with the same name. Would be eager to know how their roads were.
Once i gave lift to a seventh standard guy and was talking to him regarding his
studies for some 5 odd minutes and was happy to drop him . But he never asked what
my name was. Still i said.
When you like a girl so much and fortunately u get chance to speak and as the
discussion goes, if that person says i knew few other people with your name. How to
react to this. You will be almost buried if this is one side.
You have the right to be angry if u are not able to create an account on your own
name and the culprit who has stolen that right is also same named.
Some people come to you and say "Enda intha per vechavangalae ippadi thana " .
"One last thing is an incident - A school friend of mine was bonded with a girl for
3 years. As usual Time played a Nambiar role and u guessed the end. One day we were
watching a song in sun music and suddenly we saw message scrolled below ; a Guy (of
his name) conveying a love message to a girl(of my friends's favourite name)". I don
know what that girl replied , but my friend reacted with a smile in his face.

Tamil Cinema & its Location
Ellorukum Vanakkam!!
It s nearly 8 longs years since i started to admire cinemas,
It was in 2003 September , when i first went to a theatre on my own with my friends Manoj & Manikandan(Qualcom) to Boys movie in Ganga Theatre in Karpagam Complex.
Three movies that year, each after a major examination,
Boys noon show after my Quarterly Exams.
Enaku 20 Unaku 18 after Half-Yearly and
Autograph as a gang after Annual Exams.
But the real attraction towards movies was marked by the movie Kaadhal in 2004.
I was totally into the movie even as a 11th student .
The peak of it was in 2010 when i watched nearly 30 movies in my 8th semester of college within a span of 6 months.
I am not going to further talk of my favourite movies or director or mass hero or collection.
The tiny thing i have choosen is the LOCATION
I am thinkin why i am picked this topic, may be my favourite subject in school is geography .
What is there in a location to talk about.
Does that have any significance on talking.
Will it make a difference!!!
Ok, leaving all such questions aside,
"Open pannuna oru azhagana gramatha kaamikrom" This is a most commonly used dialogues in movies while talking about location.
-------In mid 70s and early 80 movies are based on----------
1. chennai or
2. a poor family in a city or
3. how a man overcomes his problem.
But when BharathiRaja came he took the entire tamil cinema to village with his nativity touch and naatupura musics.
Then from 90s to 2002 it was city life althrough the way and forign song sequences and love.
The came a band of directors who showed nativity beyond villages,
It was BalajiShakthivel and Bala who sat on the driver's seat , they took Kodambakkam tO Theni and Madurai.
When Kathal released it showed how the life of people in madurai can be shown with such reality,
Then went a bunch of directors making all the good looking actors to wear veshti or lungies, clean shaved to beard filled faces.
The from kaathal to manam kothi paravai, the most important numbers are aadukalam, paruthiveeran, mynaa, Kazhugu, then merku paruva katru, poo, Boss.
----------If this is happening in one side, we have people who can go round the globe to bring the best places to Kollywood.---------------
**Shankar. He has already shown us the seven wonders in a single song, Beutiful Pune in Sivaji, Tulips in Boys and Aniyan.
**Manirathnam, has his own identity, even as he not even shot outside India has brought many beautiful places like thanushkodi in kannathil muthamittal, kashmir n ooty in roja, entire madras in alaipayuthae.
**Gowtham vasudev Menon, He is a great lover of Chennai, where he choose chennai as his theme when he shot each movie based on his protagonist living in anna nagar, adyar, tambaram, ECR, aminjikarai. Not to miss he has brought to our all the graet places in INDIA in Nenjukkul Peithidum song.
**Bala - A theni specialist in Pithamagan and Avan ivan. Who knows the land better than he does.
**Suseendran- A man with such variation all his four movies in four direction - VKK in interior villege, NMA in chennai city about love n friends moving places , ASK in Hilly terrain and RP in chennai Gym boys.
**Hari - he should be one of the inspiration for this blog where he aims at shooting movies in different districts of the state starting from Chennai, thoothukudi, Tirunelveli, Dindugal, Kovai, Sivagangai, Nagercoil , tiruchy.
**K.V.Anand- who can love one's camera more than he does, the places that are least visited by any international movie makers like Congo, Norway . Not only in foreign places, in Gala Gala song he also has taken us to major highlights of the districts of the state.
---------------Not only big directors like them , the growing up or debutants also choose different locations avoiding the same old places,-----------------
#Seeing a movie shot in trichy is a brand new experience in Engeyum eppothum
#Kayam a movie on Astrology has made a huge impact on the Tamil village people awareness towads false beliefs.
#Aravan , vasanthabalan has brought a brand new picturesque by setting up something that none of us would have seen in this so called modern era.
#Subramaniyapuram, Another board to tell tamil cine technicians to go further deep into Villages.
#Katrathu tamil where hero rushes into Villages of Mathya pradesh.
#mynaa , an unnoticed love story among valleys
#Korripalayam, mayandi kudumbathinar, Thenir viduthi, Thoonganagaram, Naadodigal,
Not only south Tamil nadu has scenic places , North and east also gives a tough competition.
--Kovai---:
SathyaRaj , Koundamani, Manivannan, Sundarajan . If u switch your tv to see any comedy scenes late night you can see thes people performing in any of the channels, not only they came from this region they also acted most of the movies shot in these locations like murai maanam, maaman magal, chinna thambi periyathambi, Thirumathi Palanichamy.
Sooriya vamsam and kalavani also were shot in and around pollachi for scenic views.
Oh If one talks of Kovai, how can we leave Ooty.
Where Kadhal Kottai, Sachin , Vishnu .
Valparai also has played major roles where Rajathi Raja , Kaathalikka Neramillai where shot.
------If you are near coimbatore i cannot stop me from talking of Kerala------------:
Autograpgh- the movie starts in Madurai, goes to azhapula , again lands in coimbatore and end in chennai.
Rhythm - Sangamam of Photgraphy and Nature in kerala.
Vinnai Thandi VAruvaya - Almost a honeymoon advise for lovers to go to boat resorts in Azhapuzha.
Paiya - travelling from Banglore to Bombay , A good LIFT to tamil audiences.
Pokkisham takes us to kolkatta ,
Anbe shivam to Orissa,
Goa to the Indian Miami.
---------------Sending Messages to the community:--------------------------------
Bharathiraja has already made huge impacts on female infanticide or relationship crisis in his movies.
Vaagai sooda va, a dictionary of the people who work in Brick fields and their settlements inlate 1960s period.
Angadi theru, torches a locality where entire tamil nadu goes and forgets to think of the people whom they see there
Passanga, into the kids world for 3 hours
There are many more that i have missed and, i feel travelling to many places will definitely widen our living space in this big world.
And these variation in places , atmospheres can do lot of good vibes to the masses who see it in silver screen and few who dream to go to these places.
Indian movies makes more number of movies than Hollywood does and Kollywood runs second in Indian race behind our friend Tollywood.
Proud to be a fan of Tamil Cinema.
