Kamal's Golden Jubilee year

Ammavum neyae appavum neyae - This was on Aug 12, 1959 - celebrating the golden jubilee of this is the 'Ulaga Nayagan' Kamal Haasan.



Velu Nayagan of Nayagan, Chappani from 16 Vayathinile, Apoorva Sagodharargal Appu, Vazhvey Maayam Raja, Krishnaswamy of Mahanadhi, Aalavandhan Nandu, Thenali, Indian, Avvai Shanmugi ... each character says about Kamal's commitment to his work. It is not difficult for anyone to do have done so much, if they could stay for this long in the industry. But I don't think anyone would have done this with such a dedication and willingness to learn every bit of whole cinema like Kamal. I am sure he will end up in a place where you will have no one else to compare with him.



Though I don't prefer watching movies second time, there are exceptions like Manohara, Panneer Pushpangal, Batsha, Minnale. And this ANBE SIVAM! Though it was the extraordinary performance by Madhavan which made the movie so pleasant, I like the movie very much because I could see the real Kamal - exactly what he would be outside the cinema -in many places. And that is the Kamal I like. I am not against religion but I listen when he talks about religion. I am neither against caste but I prefer to spend time to hear if he speaks about it. I am not really a fan of him but if you ask me to say about my favourite actor, it would be Kamal ;-)

I wish he delivers Marutha Nayagam and it is far superior to his best of movies.

This is funny and typical of Kamal: Nakkal Nayyandi Virumandi

My Book Shelf - Year 2017

I find it difficult to get this reading order. And I guess it would be still harder to read them without changing the order. I may allow one or two new books to be included in this list, if required. Share book reviews and ratings with Kovil Pillai, and even join a book club on Goodreads.

The Power Game

 Even if you count from the Homo sapiens time, it has been half a million years and from the caveman life to the one who attempts to control the universe, the progress is tremendous. A number of struggles that we have overcome are unimaginable. I am still not convinced whether all these are part of the Divine plan or the Nature adjusts (if at all something is required) itself to any change that takes place in it. As long as we believe in science, we can truly appreciate our power and the things we have achieved. The oldest of the power struggles can be the one between men and women. It is perhaps so subtle that we can’t even call it a power struggle. While we manage to fight against external things, this is something happening in our own race, and we haven’t had an answer yet. A coffee selling 10 times costlier than the price of it in a decade ago may mean the coffee price has been raised. But when you compare it with the price of everything, it is relatively the same. If you look ...
