TN Political Encounters

Huge cry on few faces on the recent encounter in chennai. as usual public stunt makers like Truth finding group and petition paramasivam's talking hard on the news channels.

i believe the police has taken this extreme step after the constant rise in the crime and offenders graph. this encounter directly gives the dictating message towards the migrants.  the constant soar  in the crime rate is not only the problem with chennai but as well with Bangalore and mumbai too.   Biharies or UP migrants were behind on few eminent cases. because of the socio backwardness with these states . its very hard to trace the accused on many cases , because the migrants were dissolved with vast untraceable population in the cow belt region.

the socio and economic backwardness in the Bihar, West Bengal and UP is not only a pain for their rulers but headache for the rest of the states in the country. the migrants from these states were considered as a cheap laborers and they were exploited so badly. after having un - pleasant experiences few of them indulges with
 petty crime, ends up with big dacoity .

 we need to blame the judicial system which causes much more delay in resolving the cases. common person is fedup with the process these are the external issues which is triggering the encounters which gives the instant relief. but encounters are not the final solution , it just divers the attention from the cause.

Koodangulam another mess in the handling the issues. its total failure of intelligence. dont know why the GOI is acting as a spectator ? it has traced the mento's behind  the group which is protesting against the plant.

when it comes to the nuclear energy the people who does not has any technical background and domain knowledge writing and talking non senses about the nuclear energy. this is the country where any one can talk about any subject without the knowledge of fundamentals.  lot of drama is going and a small gang is trying hard to confuse people. its high time to finish this protest story.

nuclear energy is un avoidable,  those who oppose  it should first disconnect their home electricity connection .

New year did not granted me much time to spend some time in blogging ;)

recently watched couple of good movies .. Dhoni, Ambuli (3D) .

Dhoni - a decent movie ,, don't know about TN,but it did not worked well in Bangalore BO..

Ambuli (3D) -- its nice movie..the state is same as dhoni..

-*-

 kadhalil sodhapuvadhu yeppadi - ( how to mess up in the love life)..
     - guys does it required to carry such a lengthy movie titles??

this movie released  after a week delay in Bangalore...

Lovely movie. A fresh love story with realistic script.

The movie works because there is no heroism and the story is very much like yours and mine love story. Every guy and gal can relate to the story.

Nice jolly entertaining movie with loads of laughs… The director has done an excellent job in bringing his short film to the big screen in different dimensions… Real treat for youngsters…


Coming to the performances, Siddharth has lived the role having as much fun as he would have had during his college. He looks totally cool and young (

there is the pretty and cute Amala Paul playing Parvati, who will probably get more wanna-be directors interested in casting her in their first movie. She has certainly managed to get her dialogues in place for this one.

its a very enjoyable movie with a straightforward storyline. Balaji Mohan impresses with his first movie. Siddharth, Amala Paul and the cast make everything look so natural that you think back about college and feel nostalgic.

it was not the right time to travel when the cyclone touching the main land with the speed of 130 Kms/ Hour..  it was not an adventure trip , planned much time ahead..but the cyclone thane combined with heavy rain spoiled the fun...

its easy to drive tractor better than car in the Tanjore - kumbakonam state highway.. i don't know why the people still mentioning that road as highway....

Darasuram..

i never expected such a beautiful temple inside small hamlet in the outskirts of kumbakonam. ..because of continuous rain and poor light i could not able to take more photographs .

This architectural marvel was constructed by the later chola king Rajaraja Chola II Aka Parakesari,,

Archaeological Dept of india has taken over this temple from Tanjore Maratha dynasty . 

this temple was partially damaged by Muslim invaders ...later the Maratha Kings removed the few monuments from the temple and placed it in the Sarawasati Mahal in Tanjore.

Archaeological Dept has done excellent work by partially re structuring the temple monuments.right  now the temple is well maintained and honored as  the UNESCO world heritage monument. 

Porali

Porali - The Warrior - PVR Cinemas.

one more superb movie from my favorite combination..Sasi and Samudra kani.. this movie talks about the mentally disordered peoples on one side.. the moral of positive attitude is the concept of the movie..

Sasikumar steals the show with his costumes and his serious expressions. In fact, his one-liners and sense of humour at times get a huge round of applause. Allari Naresh has completely justified his role. Swathi has given her best but it is newcomer Nivetha and Vasundhara, who make a serious impression in the minds of the viewers. Ganja Karuppu, Jayaprakash, Soori are at their usual best. The performances of the cast are the biggest plus point of Poraali.

the screen play during the first half packed with excellent screenplay and good comedy. the second half slightly lagging but the message conveyed is excellent.

the music is not inspiring ...

Samudharakani direction is good...as its low budget movie ..the narration is awesome.

Porali worth to watch and its good entertainer too.


-----

now a days it become to so irritating to watch any movie in Banglore PVR Cinemas .. the picture quality is dragging day by day.and the sound quality is too very poor..they are charging 200 + for the  weekend shows..for the last 2 years always some construction or maintenance activity going on the floor.

Right now bangalore has got n number of multiplexe's..where PVR one of the multiplex started much early . but the recently opened Cine Polis tops the sound and picture quality. service is too good.

MayyaKam Enna

MayyaKam Enna -  Why this dizziness?  Cine-Polis , Royal Meenakshi Mall

Director selvaraghavan best known making best stories , possibly  with better screenplay and finally spoiling the movie with few shuddery scene's.

 His last Aayirathil Oruvan, one of the presumptuous effort got spoiled with few galling shots.

 he is well known for bumbling his own creation's with the thoughts proving the psychopath.  i don't find an single tamil movie from him , can be watched with family.  ..But still there is huge fame for him..thunder of claps for his name  when displayed in the screen.


Mayyakkam Enna a one more Selvaraghavan template movie with characters maneuvered as per his rules of thumb.



Dhanush an freelance photographer wants to make photography as full time. he butchered by other guy , claims  award for the dhanush's work. this is the first half story ..the boring second half starts with  usual selvaraghavan's trademark shots.   the director is testing the patience of the audience with very slow screenplay .

 finally ends with a positive note. as expected the dhanush recovers and climbs the ladder.

 Dhanush acting is extremely good , it  looks the character is tailor made for him.picturisation and the music were the best part of the movie.. credit goes to the Ramji and GV Prakash. .t....the new heroine Riccha acting is good t.hough the second half of the movie is quite boring. but the net movie result is fine..

Two States-- Karnataka and Tamilnadu

comparison of the two public sectors. 

Karnataka co operative Milk producers  Federation - Nandini one of the most flourishing co operative sector in the country. One Lt of Nandini milk in Bangalore is sold for Rs22

the private farm milk rates varies from 22 Rs to 25 Rs. depends on the quality. Due to the continuous measures from the government of karnataka the milk production in the state crossed boundary levels . the excess milk is sold to the tamilnadu government too.

in the other side Aavin the tamilnadu  co operative Milk producers  Federation all the time showing the red figures in the charts.

 After the recent revision the milk rates in the tamilnadu is almost same as karnataka.  already the Aavin is facing heavy shortage of milk, the farmers prefers to sell the milk to private milk farms.  the milk production in the tamilnadu is not meeting the total demand expectation. 

the recent measures from the jeyalalitha of offering the free cows to the below poverty line people may increase the milk production in tamilnadu. the karnataka government did same kind of measures , now they are fetching the fruit . only the difference tamilnadu government offering as  a free , the karnataka government made this with subsidized loans .

KSRTC- Karnataka State and Road Transport Corporation. the public sector bus service run by Government of karnataka. during weekend in chennai koyampedu bus terminus one can witness the response given to the KSRTC Buses. most of the patrons will ignore the tamilnadu state run buses and will stand in a big queue for  KSRTC. even though the rates in KSRTC is quite high when compared to TNSTC.  

10 years back KSRTC started bus service from Bangalore to trichy. the bus will look like red colored box. normally people will ignore the KSRTC. things got changed dramatically..

Now KSRTC offers n number of services from Bangalore to Trichy in different varieties . Volvo, Deluxe and ordinary classes.  its very difficult to find ticket in KSRTC..

KSRTC buses are maintained well and they offer good service ...at the same time in the last 10 years the TNSTC buses quality and service went down so badly. TNSTC buses will take 10 hours to cover 300kms distance from Bangalore to Trichy 

TNSTC buses are safe heaven to bed bugs . its difficult to find a push pack seat with good working condition.. KSRTC bus fares were revised on the need basis.. but TNSTC failed on that aspect and finally its failed badly on the all the aspects . still there is no online reservation system for TNSTC.

the recent rate revision in the Aavin and TNSTC is must needed to control the losses and bring the state owned public sectors back to the action. but few peoples shouting badly for the rate hikes. the same people never misses the first day first show movie with paying 1000 Rs. during 2001 one glass of tea was 2 Rs..now its some where arround 5 to 6 Rs.  

As usual SUN and other DMK propaganda shouting badly against this rate revision. the same propaganda group is silent whenever center government revises the petrol rate.  

if there is no price hike , the TN Govt cant issue salary for the TNSTC employees for the month of November. if there is no price hike the Aavin can t issue payment for the farmers for milk supply. 

this rate revision is much delayed. TN govt should learn lessons from the mistakes..they should not delay in rate revision in the essential services .. the more delay causes poor service, more losses and tax money spent  for adjusting the losses.

Agathiyan one of the talented directors from the tamil movie industry. he was awarded for his excellent direction and screenplay of the movie Kadhal Kottai ( Love Fort) which was released in the year 1996.

(National award for Best direction  - 1997)

that movie a breakaway from failures for Ajith and as well as for Devayani too.

Agathiyan no where remembered as of now ...his last well reached movie was "Kadhal Kavithai" ( Love poem).

Agathiyan one of the leading players from the industry had very good capability, his interest in making best remember able movies went in vain as none of the directors inspired by his stories.. he took 180' turn..directed a movie called Vanmadhi packed with full of Marsala's released some time in 1995.

The movie was stuffed with all the varieties.. glamour, stunts and idiotic turn's..but without a good story..but the movie went well.. Ajith the lead actor in that movie with couple of supporting actors.. but Agathiyan gained enough confidence...he went for canning the kadhal kottai..again a low budget movie starring Ajith and new comer Devaynani with same troop.. but this time with good story and screenplay.. moreover his sacrifice for the  business for the movie was very minimal.

finally he tasted the success..Kadhal kottai ..celebrated the silver jubilee. story was based on the never seen lovers and story based on them...still the songs of the movie receives good reception through FM Station's as well satellite television.

his next movie..Gokulathil Seethai ..a decent movie talking about an non sense guy,..one of the best movies in tamil movie industry..its an commercial hit too..a clean decent movie story is about an easygoing young rich man and a college girl .

after trying few commercial hits ..he again tried with pure story based movies without any commercial adjustments..

Vidu Kathai.a Prakashraj starring  movie which was based on the story of the love between middle aged guy with teen age girl. you can witness one of the best show case from prakashraj on that movie..as expected it did not showed good response in the box office..

Again Agaithyan turned to back to commercial flicks..Kadhal Kavithai....it s an average movie in the term of box office as well as audience exceptation as well. Prashanth and Isha Gopikar were lead actors of the movie..this movie too centering on the theme of love like another Agaithyan directorial ventures.

later he made couple of movies...but unable to gain attention from the public..

.few years back Agathiyan's daughters pinched in to media industry.. where his elder daughter presented a game show in Makkal TV and next one acted in few tamil movies.

Agathiyan got his breakthrough on mid of his 40's unable to sustain the pressure of giving continuous hit's..but still he would be remembered as one of the best director in the tamil movie industry.

Last weekend had wonderful journey to Shimoga.

Shimoga one of the important cities in the Karnataka, comes under the Mala Nadu region of karnataka.

Kodai Kanal - the angle of western ghats.. recently traveled to kodai . though the north east monsoon was active ..its not the right time to visit there..perhaps able to take few photographs.

Thaliyar Falls Aka Eli Aruvi Aka Rat Tail Falls - On the way to Dindugal to kodaikanal

Fine forest kodaikanal

Silver Falls - Kodaikanal

Thanks to my I10 for the comfortable journey

NH7 - Salem to Dharmapuri lane during North East Monsoon 

pillar rocks kodaikanal , water falls..covered with cloud 

forest river - near pillar rock - kodai 

climbing the kodai hills ,one of the toughest hills roads during the monsoon season. there are two routes..

one is from Palani other is from Bathalakundu . 

The people travelling from bangalore can take Palani - Kodai route.. this route less crowded and road is also good. but road is very narrow..need to concentrate hardly on the road.  Bangalore -> Hosur ->Thoppur -> Mettur -> Bhavani -> Kangeyam -> Dharmavaram -> Palani Temple -> Kodai. the majority of this lane comes under state highways (2 lane). the distance is around 370 kms. but its highly advised to avoid this route during rainy period. 

the other route following the NH7 from Bangalore -> Hosur-> Dharmapuri -> Salem -> Nammakal -> Karur -> Dindugal -> Bathalakundu -> Kodaikanal. 

distance is arround 450 kms. roads are pretty good with  up to Dindugal 4 lane National highway.

from Bathalagundu the hill road commences to the kodai. most of the people prefers this route . 

i took the route one during onward journey but unable to use the same route  for the return . the Kodai to Palani road was closed because of heavy rain.

Fanaticism the word which is troubling the modern india in many forms. linguistic and religion based fanaticism were the top two takes the priority. i strongly belive any fanatic thoughts cames under heavy depression . take for example the  state hold respect from the north eastern states derived after strong uphold machinery from the successive governments.. every government gives false hope and does not has any strong will to resolve the problems in the north eastern states of india. i strongly object the violence struggle from the people but at the same any such problems may araise only because of the negligence of the central government.

There is no proper  supply to the city imphal the state capital of manipur for the last six months. the road blackade has become very common thing across the state in the manipal. the road block on the NH2 has become very common.NH2 the life line of the manipal which connects the assam to the imphal.last year the road blockade was extended up to 68 days. this year untill this date its going on....

what is the need to block the road services and good transport t to the manipur??

its big and old story of enemity between Nagaland and Manipal . Naga tribes were treated badly by the old emperrors of the manipal. the old enemity still follows with various  modern day demands.

one litre of petrol in manipal costs arround 200 Ruppees. you have to park your vehicle for in a big queue to get the fuel filled.  most of the time there is no hope to get the petrol. LPG rate is arround 1500 and many of the basic needs items already touched the sky. it may be hard to believe these kind of stories in modern india but this is the truth.
he states with huge natural resources were ditched badly by the ruling govenments. the people holding the IAS or any equal rank does not has any history or moral ethics about the place. they are just fooling around .the rulers are just blind to solve the problem . this is the basic problem not only in the north eastern states but across everywhere in the country.

i don't see any steps from the government of india to solve these kind of crisis and moreover the north eastern states were treated with step child mentality,  what ever the problems it should be cleared .
