Since there is lots of buzz on Rajaraja chozhan let’s look at something he is famous for. During his period, odhuvars used to sing thevaram (They still do). But it was dwindling. The king wanted to explore more and he could not find any manuscripts. So he was in constant search During same period, Nambiyandar Nambi from thirunarayur was blessed by piLLayar (Famously known as polla pillayar). The king came to know about this miracle and reached there and requested Nambi to help him. Nambi prayed to piLLayar

After visiting brahmapureeswarar temple we went to Thirukolakka where Lord Shiva blessed the 3 year old Thirugnanasambandhar with gold cymbals! Though Lord Shiva gave him cymbals, the music came only after Ambal blessed him with music. Lord shiva is called as Thalapureeswarar and Ambal as Osainayagi.

I have been visiting paadal petra sthalangal for quite sometime. One temple was missing for a long time. Or any more. The place where it all started via thirugnanasambandhar. Brahmapureeswarar temple, Sirkazhi! There are three tiers in this temple. Brahmapureeswarar as swayambu lingam in ground floor, Uma maheswarar at first floor and Sattanathar in Bhairavar form in second floor.

BCCI drama. It’s all scripted! So all of you please #GammunuKeda Virat and Rohit going forward

I think they should make Chennai alone as union territory and split it from TN. It can be the intellectual capital of India , not just TN. Kamal can be CM and Surya education minister, Sidharth for PWD, TM Krishna for culture, Ranjith for social welfare, N Ram for literature All industries will be dismantled. Just cinema, fine arts, journalism. Entire city can be made as film city. And rename areas. Adyar can be action, Egmore can be Editing. Everyone will make movies, watch movies, web series…

Press club of India, as per their website, ‘is basically a meeting point for the journalists as it is located in the heart of Lutyans Delhi where Parliament House and other Ministries, which are the area of activity of the journalists, are located’. 😝 I also came to know from their homepage that they have a managing committee. Now what does the managing committee do? Appoint a special committee

Parents and FIL for vaccinated today. Covidshield at Apollo MRC nagar. Next shot after 28 days. Took two hours overall. Registration/doctor checkup/vaccination/post vaccine observation. Great relief! Costed 250₹ per person. Better to carry Aadhar card, PAN Card and medical history. A doctor will check before administering vaccine. Sharing the prescription of current medicines helps. 30 min observation post vaccination.

Before the movie ‘Action’, a Sundar C Tragical, starts Vijay Sethupathy comes and says that the movie is taken globally and for benefit of audience it’s shown as if everyone is talking in tamil. Instead if he had said this is not action but distraction we would have been warned. Take two ounces of Rajiv assassination, 1 ml of Bombay blast plus 2 tsp of Dawood plus few scenes of Spider-Man plus MMKR. And a tablet of Domstal to avoid the vomit. You get Action.

Over past two days I watched this atrocious movie called ‘Aayiram muthangal’. A crazy movie starring sivakumar, Radha, Charuhassan, YG Mahendran and Silk Smitha pronounced as Silk Sumitha. Movie was released in 1982. To put it simply, Sivakumar is kicked out of his house because YG Mahendran has an affair with his landlords wife. And as a result Sivakumar breaks up with Radha. And she marries a sadist psycho, kills him and marries Sivakumar finally. This is the story line.
