Warning: This was written to be put into a thread but then converted to screenshots due to technical constraints.. I still want to add few tweets in between the screenshots.. Kindly ignore the transitions.. Also it is a very long read so try it if u hav enough time.. Thank you..

My liking for him started to grow with each interview and by the end, he became my IDOL.. We had many things in common.. Even I couldn't have framed my views into words with such perfection but he did it for me and that's when I loved him more as a person than a filmmaker...
My fav excerpts from the below compilation (thanks to the person who created this)
0:48 his opinion on planning the future
2:45 his view on living and observing people
These thoughts completely resonated with me and he became my favorite human being..

Another standout feature of Kumararaja is he's building a universe in Tamil Cinema - The Thiagarajan Kumararaja Universe.. I had to rewatch both the movies before writing this thread and found few interesting similarities between both the films which I'll share below..
He's just done only 2 films and I too think I'm going overboard, but pls bear with me..
Firstly, both the films feature an instantly likeable kid who plays a major role in their stories.. Kodukapulli and Rasukutti

The car which Singaperumal's gangmen use in AK and the car of Vaembu's boyfriend in SD, both have a key hanging from the mirror.
I think Kumararaja is a great fan of them and that's why he shows us glimpses of b grade posters in both the films..
There seems to be an interesting reason for using keys in many of the key scenes in both the movies (which we'll never know because it is better to not know everything - wise words from the man Himself)
TK likes to let his characters walk through half demolished buildings..
The same metal clanking sound can be heard when Pasupathy is waiting in the mill before climax and Soori runs for his mom..
Another thing you may not know is TK is the dialog writer of Pushkar-Gayathri's debut Orampo and VA quarter cutting.. The autos from Orampo - Bigle and Son of Gun can be seen racing in Aaranya Kaandam.. So Orampo also belongs to the TK Universe.. (VA quarter cutting too)
I hope all of us live our lives as we wish without any hatred, negativity, societal pressures, with kindness, love for all beings and lead a happy life because we got only one right? This might be the secret of life as told by Thiagarajan Kumararaja...!!!
