After having to go in exile for about 7 months, I am back (Deepavali release).
These 7 or 8 months is the period in my life where I failed to understand how one can manage time. I couldn't, at least! Any ways, now that one of my most challenging projects is behind me, I can manage to have some online presence.
Deepavali time... got to be rocking back at home. Especially on the eve of deepavali and the day itself. Though the essence of togetherness is lost now, still its fun that at least the family gets the time off to spend with each other. Back home, sweets and kaaram would have been ready by now and my monstrous brother would have already started having his hands, eyes, everything over it. All I get his a "missing you while eating your favorite sweet" line!
Looks like Aadhavan is the baby that is getting all the attention amongst the kodambakkam babies to be born on deepavali. I sincerely hope that my next 15 or 20 dollars doesn't go waste like it did all year until now and even 2008 with exceptions of Kamal Hasan movies!
Coming to Kamal Hasan, I saw the Kamal 50 program organized by Star Vijay TV. It was very well organized and many kind people of industry showed up. Some speeches were regular, some praising Kamal, some emotional but none boring and the best was reserved for the last...Rajinikanth. It was a display of true friendship and immense proportions of humbleness. There was no need for Rajinikanth to speak the way he did. Being a superstar himself, all he had to do was wish Kamal the best (like what Mammooty did. His speech was the so-so). But he went to extent of explaining in detail that he holds this position due to Kamal. It is simply outstanding on part of Rajini to have done so and the chota chota bachaas of industry can learn a thing or two from him. In Rajini style, "Hats off"!!
Wish you a all a very happy and safe deepavali.
Those in India, eat less sweets, go out and meet your family and friends. Do not rub your seats in the sofa watching pattimandram, deepavali sirappu nigazhchigal etc. How can one "deepavali sirappu nigazhchigal anaithaiyum kandu kaliyungal. Deepavaliyai sirappaaga kondaadungal"? Whats the point in sitting at home and watching all the programs top-to-bottom? Where's fun in that? Lets go out and get rocking!
Those outside India, lets watch all the sirappu nigazhchigal in internet and enjoy our Deepavali! People living outside India with family, prepare sweets and kaaram in quantities sufficient enough to feed the paava patta bachelors living around you!
Have fun!
