Quick one

Whatever differences this man had with a given community specifically, or a religion as a whole, you still have to give it to him fully when it comes to the art of politics, oratory, persuassion of following (sometimes blindly) ideologies, etc.

Sample:

"It is claimed that Hindi should be common language because it is spoken by the majority. Why should we then claim the tiger as our national animal instead of the rat which is so much more numerous? Or the peacock as our national bird when the crow is ubiquitous?"

(copied and pasted from Wikipedia, spoken by Annadurai at the Indian Parliament during 1962).

The man passed away in 1969 while still serving as CM of Tamil Nadu and 1,500,000 turned up for his funeral procession.

I had been to watch Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu last night at Totem Lake Cinemas near Kirkland. It was a decently made movie and there are already umpteen number of reviews written. But a small incident during the movie sparked a key-word in my mind and from then on, words were just flying all over the scenes.

Now I am not sure if the experience was worth 12 bucks (it might very well have been), but it certainly provided enough fodder for me.

Note: This post is just for fun, so I advise fans of Gautham not to get in their autos and come visit me in chilly, rainy Edmonds!

So here goes Make sentences with: with respect to Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu -

1. Poor: The sound quality in the theatre was so poor that we were left wondering if the operator was streaming the movie from a website.

2. Remuneration: On account of so many words being censored, the remuneration given to the (dubbing) artist(s) were halved.

3. Early-starter: Kids brought to the theatres to watch gore, violence and sex should thank their parents' good intentions on making them early-starters.

4. Anticipate: Somehow, everyone (must have) anticipated who would play the role of Jothika's mom.

5. Excuse: Just by mixing some random scenes of the police investigating in between an otherwise un-necessary song is excuse enough.

6. Culture: But hey, atleast the models were not wearing bikinis in the song - the culture was hence saved!

7. Irony: Even if 50 cents' In da club is played by mistake in a dicey situation, it is ironical that the girl could still makes good moves with the villain. Such is the power of music!

8. Self-explanatory: Even a liberal left-winger like Kamal's take on homosexuality was self-explanatory from his dialogs... and also gives away the general notion of the audience which was evident from the guffaws.

9. Victory: Inspite of all this, the audience rarely (spare the introduction) cheered for Kamal as a hero and completely accepted him as a police officer which itself is a victory for Kamal and Gautham.

Just for fun!

Make sentences with:

Remember your old english question papers at school?. Before the short answers, ERC (Annotation) and essay questions, there were these little ones - Fill up, match the following and make sentences with.

Now, "Make sentences with" was wicked. You have to think of sentences on your own on the spot using the words in the questions. Also, the sentences you make up should not be too obvious (which sadly became the case most of the time), else the teacher would think you copied!. I think that was the only situation in a language paper where one stops and thinks.

This post tries to bring back that experience, in a blogger's sense of things!.

Make sentences with the following words:

1. Glory: He was living in the glory of the past (posts), which was still bearing him fruits (comments).

2. Mercy: An extremely long and verbose post deserves atleast a mercy comment.

3. Amuse: He was amused to see one of his long-forgotten archived posts had got an extra comment.

4. Anger: He shook his fist (mouse) in anger when his frequently visited blogs had no new updates,

5. Shame: He was filled with shame when he saw no "Updated!" sign next to his blogrolled page in a fellow blog.

6. Overkill: The 140th review of Anniyan officially marked the overkill of the blogger's freedom of speech.

7. Ignorance: Pity his ignorance!. He did not care to check if this kind of a post had been published elsewhere.

8. Excuse: .. and this is an excuse of a post!!.

Sorry guys!. It's not that I was busy or anything (I am not a workaholic, remember?!). Just that almost a week had already passed since I posted!. And oh, by the way, he (9. assumed) that he has an obligation to post something every 4-5 days!.
