Let generations to come wonder that such a man as me ever walked the face of this planet! . Almost everything under the sun except Theology and triple Integration ;-). few of them in no particular order are Politics, Sports, Movies, Books, Quizzing,browsing, dozing, and of course our national pastime.....

and vivacious it was the Argentine poet and tennis player G Vilas who so succinctly put it. it has been wrongly attributed to a whole bunch of players ever since!
one of the irritants of the modern world is the net conking off just as you press the submit button. which makes you angry that you have two type in all over again. so pardon my brevity Rama i only hope that you see the light some day! also courtesy is what is expected of a nephew and curtsey read more...
As i wrote in my review culling down Ir's output to 10 was tough but it is my list. but the songs you mention don't make the grade for me. paadariyen is lot of hype and nothing more - i can go into details but that is a diff topic- regarding Kanne kalaimaane the song is good but that is about that read more...

preran, thx for comments. the tamil lines i quoted sum up the persona of IR ' because i dare to compose/invent/use new Ragas I too am God! a tad arrogant perhaps but describing the confidence in his ability to the tee. the lyric ends by saying he will' create a kingdom for the musically inclined read more...

Looking by the reactions to your review you would still think BJP would have romped home. they wer lulled into believing by all the psephologists ( not one of them was right) But ina democracy we get what we deserve. so look at the leader we have elected probably it mirrors something of ourselves read more...
Commented on dwingramki's review
come on ... engirunthu intha knowledge about ragam... kept it hidden all this time... ;-) 7 out of 10 . i still stand by my statement IR can't sing ! also you have stirred a hornet's next. i am intrigued enoughed to compile my own list Of IR songs. watch out :-(
while the movie was being made I was perturbed for 2 reasons 1. the story seemed inspired by the awful Mera naam Joker. 2. Cheran is too gooda director to be lost as an actor. It would be an irony if Cheran the actor gets more offers as an actor if this movie clicks and we lose out the director read more...
A passionately written review. It looks like an amalgam of Dhevar Magan, Seevalaperi pandi & Malayur mambathiyan. With Kamal at the helm , however I will wait ... once bitten twice shy! Hey RAM!
What next best of Anu Malik , Altaf raja & Babul s? Yuck!
Every now and then you come up with a straight narrative - without the gimmicks. The clarity is there for all to see. But I am not sure about the book I've read half a dozen similar novels- the difference is they were in Tamil. Onion. PS :- Did it have anything to do with KM,JJ & YT? ;-)
Commented on premjit's review
the review was very good until I realised you were showboating as much as SRK. After all SRK gets into all of us. If it was intentional kudos, if otherwise may be you need to turn it down awee bit! onion aka vengayam
When it comes straight from the heart, without signs of being a smart ass, the review does become an art - amodel to show for rest of the class. A welcome relief from your Kramer vs Kramer crap! One trivia you forgot to mention was that ESG wrote under the pseudonym AA Fair to give glimpses o read more...
