Deepavali Tamil Movie

Jayam Ravi has acted well. Bhavana is cool after Veyyil.

Well low crowd in Sathyam on the second day, afternoon show!

I thought I saw the producer N.Lingusamy there! (felt like an English Movie)

This is offshoot of the Robert Ludlum novel, rehashed with Love.....

Also a touch on "Memento" with the lady loosing memory, but asking the lover to remember and get her.

Nice way to show the fisherman community. North Chennai with Vijay Milton. Whew!

I think they tried to show the Vijayakumar Character "Mudaliar" with the old stories, as shot in Royapuram, being a Dada and changing later and the son (I thought they said adopted once at "18 years"), with so many blood fight stories coming in... that would have been nice! (a hint of "Nayagan")

PSG Tech Sorry Stories

PSG Tech Sorry Stories

The stories are invited....

Paaratukkal = Paaratungal

Paaratukkal = Paaratungal

Dear Sujatha Rangarajan Sir,

In todays article in Kumudam (21-Feb-2007), there is a spelling mistake. Paaratukkal = Paaratungal.

On Saying Please.
On Saying No.
How to win friends and Influence People, are some of the books talk about that principle.

Also read the Bharathi's woman Chellamma article and found interesting anecdote of "Agaram"... Well I doubt todays writers would have such issues.

I see writers like yourself Sir, Rajesh Kumar, Devi Bala, Pattukottai Prabhakar and others do have commercial interests... (In fact this was the question I put to you, when you came to PSG Tech, Coimbatore during 1988-9 for Tamil Mandram talk).

As an artist we also see people loosing money in the same craft that got them such fame & dough. For ex. Kamal, Simbu and AVM group.

Also I should congratulate, Manusiya Puthiran (real name Govindasamy?) doing deeds with Uyirmai inspite of his inabilities.

Most writers happens to be Central Govt. employees,  who can love and live a pension, and continue the writing tradition. I think, you were too one Sir, now achieved great heights, with well settled family.

I cannot forget what Dindigul Leoni (TV fame) telling the other day that he cannot think a life without pension! So he is still stuck with his high school job.

Solomon Pappiya is another great with this list, and one TV Station Director Natarajan.....

I do see your regularly in the Marina beach, with my wife and kids son and a daughter, crossing in the pathway...

What do you think about Scientific astrology?

Who will win world cup finals?

In all probability there is a high chance (66% and above) that India would move to finals.

But bookies favourites are Australia versus West Indies a rematch of Champions trophy.

While the Semifinal lineup would be India, SriLanka, Australia and England.

Later I would post my analysis, on strengths.

But with these punters and fixers, nothing can come true!

How I chose the correct Indian World Cup 07 Squad?

In a laborious process I had predicted earlier (Feb 4th 2007morning), using the Prashna process of KP Astrology, over a period of 2 hours and 50 minutes from 7.20AM, picking the divine number for each player (restricted to 10 chances out of 30), for the 8 slots, with 4 in a trouble (fitness and fanfare) and 4 to be really picked... out of the remaining 18. I did not restrict it to my favourites of 22 based on intelligent guess, while other 8 were also still in contention for the remaining 3 places.

This was the list I had in the mind when I started the prophecy.

I Sure in (8)

Dravid
Ganguly
Tendulkar
Kumble
Harbhajan
Dhoni
Zaheer Khan
Ajit Agarkar

II Fitness and Fanfare (4)

Sehwag
Yuvraj
Pathan
Munaf Patel

III Rest in the lot... (3)

Dinesh Kaarthick
Sreesanth
Robin Uthappa

IV Other favourites (6)

Raina
RP Singh
Ramesh Powar
Gautham Gambhir
Kaif
VVS Laxman

In the second lot (II), I wanted to see whether they would make it. The odds (scores) were very good for them, so they are in.

Now for the III lot, who were in the team for the Srilankan ODIs..... I chose the numbers, and looked at whether they would make it. I also looked at the 10th house, with 12th, to make sure the interests are

looked in correctly. Marked the scores, based on the transits till April 29th 2007 midnight.

I also looked the IV lot, other favourites....

Raina and RP Singh also had similar scores better than the rest (hence they are named backups, and would travel to West Indies and be readily available as unofficial candidates for India - all expenses paid by BCCI), but Ramesh Powar had the next lowest (he might be called in for cover after March 23rd, when his points are more than Harbhajan - a finger injury?), and along with Kaif and Laxman gettign even lower marks compared to the earlier selected people.

Now what about the others in the probables list.? Nothing to mention, worthwhile, and only "Inshant Sharma" had got points worth mentioning and like Ramesh Powar, his points go higher but only on April 28th only.(final day). I also feel other than RP Singh, he might be called in a cover on April 21st for the Semi Final (April 25) and Final (April 28).

A note, as I am in Chennai - I wanted to know about the chances of S Badrinath, and his score was very low, but looks like he would represent India in some form during Nov 2007 to Feb 2008 and beyond.
