Something has changed in Tamil cinema and it has not been for the good.
Old tamil movies had their own star moments, "mass" scenes, elevation moments etc.
But they also had a lot of philosophical dialogues that gave you a good perspective.
Rajnis "Kadavul Nallavangala Sodhippan, Kai vida maatan, Ketavangalukku neriya kudupan, aana kai viturvan",
"Kashta padama edhuvum kidaikaadhu, Kashta padaada kidaicha, adhu nilaikaadhu"
Even vijay had his share of good dialogues. The Ghilli one where he says, "Dhamma thundu blade mela vechirka nambikkai un mela vei, Jeipa"
These dialogues made you think, gave you a perspective and rationalized life around you.
If nothing it gave you hope.
Same with songs
Songs like "Nenjam ondu nermai ondu odu raaja, neram varum kathrindhu paaru raaja". "Yen endru kelvi" motivated you. Gave you hope
Yes they peddled some ideology, but you take it out, they were still good songs.
You felt nice after hearing them. And you remembered the lyrics for a long time.
Today we none of that.
All dialogues are bland, vapid, every third word is an abuse and you forget them the very next second
Same with songs.
How we went from Kanmani Anbodu Kadhali to Halamathi Habibo and Allala Bolelle Tamale Udale or whatever that was, is beyond me
@SonyAlpha Do you guys take your expensive camera everywhere without worrying, or do you have any tips, bags or accessories that make travelling with it safer?
I don't want my fear of damaging the camera to stop me from using it! 😅

Mirrorless camera owners, how do you carry your cameras when travelling?
I own a Sony A7C, and honestly, I'm always hesitant to take it along on trips because I'm worried about damage, theft, rain, or accidentally dropping it.

Six months of Vijay Government.
Pluses and Minuses
Pluses:
1. Anti corruption measures: Good start but things are starting to fray. No action so far against any senior Govt official is a dampener.
2.Greater Transparency: Assembly live telecast, greater scrutiny of tenders etc.
3.Accessible Ministers: Ministers and MLA's easier to reach and mostly do not throw their weight around.
4. Existing schemes mostly continued with some name and cosmetic changes.
Minuses:
1. Law and Order: No major improvement
2. Non communicating CM is a significant issue
3.Infrastructure development: Policy paralysis on several issues. Dozens of Projects are stuck or in limbo. Scrapping Parandur airport, a disaster for the State, the new Secretariat location uncertainty etc. cause loss of confidence.
4. Power situation: Fragile with power outages.
5. Profligate welfarism with the slew of new freebies.
6. No clear vision for the State.
7. Industries Dept: Mostly on auto pilot. No proactive measures to get investment.
8. Across Departments lack of clarity on policy issues:
I am not adding the inexperience and the frequent bloopers of the Ministers.
Overall has "Maatram" or Change happened?
Mostly NO. There is a feeling that the CM needs to get his act together, get a better set of advisors for Governance issues (present lot can be his Political advisors). Expertise is in seriously short supply across the Government.
Discontent is already brewing against the TVK Govt. CM Vijay remains hugely popular but it will not be long before the lack of competence of his Government starts to affect his personal popularity.
Hope he seeks good counsel and better sense prevails.

Listening to music while walking, switching on a show while doing chores, using your phone while waiting- why do you never give your brain a break? What is so difficult about sitting with your own thoughts that you always seem to be escaping them?
This is a life-changing stress hack:
- Double-inhale through the nose
- Slow exhale through the mouth
- Repeat 3x
Do it before a big presentation or anytime you feel your stress levels rising. Immediate stress reduction. Almost too good to be true.
Highly recommend.
I feel I have exhausted watching crime thrillers & mysteries from across languages. Wanna watch more feel good movies like Baththa that make you cry. You might cry based on what's happening in the movie, but that also helps you erakkify some of the baaram you might be carrying. There's something about crying that helps you release some of that emotional weight. Any suggestions like that from ulaga cinema?

இருதய நோயை வரும் முன் எப்படியெல்லாம் கண்டுபிடிப்பது!?
Master check upல் வரும் ECG, Echo, Cholestrol test இருதய நோய் வந்தபிறகுதான் கண்டுபிடிக்கும்!அதனால் master health check up normal என்றால் எல்லாம் normal இல்லை!பின் எப்படி?
This is the ground reality of Madurai and not the reality what is shown to the CM. The corporation has been totally mismanaged. Plz allocate special funds to restore the historic city... @CMOTamilnadu@AadhavArjuna 🙏
Glacier Collapse Identified as the Main Trigger of the Flash Flood
----------------------
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has attributed the devastating flooding to a glacier collapse rather than an earthquake. According to the US agency, a glacier located at an elevation of approximately 17,000 feet (5,200 metres) in Tibet collapsed on the morning of August 26. The glacier mass subsequently fell nearly 4,000 feet (1,200 metres).
The collapsed section of the glacier was estimated to be approximately 2,000 feet (610 metres) wide. The enormous mass of ice and rock falling from such a great height generated substantial ground vibrations. The event was therefore initially interpreted as an earthquake tremor. However, the ground shaking, reportedly equivalent to a magnitude 5.2 event, was associated with the sudden glacier collapse rather than tectonic earthquake activity.
As the huge mass of ice descended, it fragmented and was pulverised, mixing with rock, sediment and water and producing a highly mobile debris-flow-like surge. At approximately 8:30 a.m. on August 26, this ice, rock and water mixture reached the Lhende River.
The massive debris flow blocked the river and formed a temporary natural dam, resulting in rapid accumulation of water upstream. The blockage was located approximately 20 kilometres northeast of the Nepal–China border.
At around 9:00 a.m., the increasing hydraulic pressure caused the temporary blockage to fail. The sudden release of the impounded water and debris generated a powerful downstream flood wave. The surge then propagated into the Bhote Koshi River system and subsequently affected the Trishuli River, causing severe flooding and widespread destruction downstream.
Sequence of Events
Glacier collapse → Ice/rock avalanche → Debris flow → Lhende River blockage → Temporary dam formation → Water accumulation → Dam failure → Flash flood → Bhote Koshi → Trishuli → Downstream destruction
Thus, the magnitude 5.2 ground shaking was not necessarily the cause of the disaster; rather, it appears to have been a consequence of the massive glacier collapse. The primary mechanism was the sudden release of a huge volume of ice, rock and water, followed by temporary river blockage and catastrophic dam break flooding.
Why stop at 50%! Make it 90%. This is also divide and rule policy! So unreserved are the new oppressed community! There should be a timeline or end to reservation so that the benefits reach those who truly need them. Simply increasing it drags our country backwards.#Reservation
A heartfelt tribute marked the 108th birth anniversary of the late B.P. Mandal, former Chief Minister of Bihar and Chairman of the Government of India's Backwards Classes Commission. His report laid the foundation for allocating 27% OBC reservations across India. We reflect on his significant contributions to society as the chief architect of OBC reservations. The Mandal Commission report continues to play a vital role in shaping affirmative action policies and promoting social justice. I urge the Hon’ble Prime Minister @narendramodi to halt the flawed caste census, develop a unique OBC caste code nationwide in consultation with state governments, and then undertake a new caste census. Until a new reservation formula is devised based on this fresh census, the Hon'ble PM @narendramodi must enforce 50% reservation for OBCs through constitutional amendments.

100days job scheme should be utilized more productively rather than wasting tax money. Till now this has been a scam!#vb-gramg #MGNREGA#100Daysjobscheme#scam
Excellent points. What are we going to do with the lands acquired for Parandur?? So much of compensation paid in Crs. So many villages was convinced barring one. Nothing but politics. If they concerned about land grabbing, do an audit on the same but proceed with airport..😑
Funny thing is, this airport was dropped by our Hon. CM after protests by fewer than 1,000 people in Ekanapuram. The irony is that he wants to restore the Cooum, Buckingham Canal and Adyar, which could lead to the eviction of at least 45,000+ families. LMAO.
Too many Freebies! We all know the economic situation of the state(White paper released by TVK).We just want good governance.Its okay if u dont fulfill ur manifesto!Was really hoping for a good change but now feels disappointed. First Scrapping Parandhur,now freebies. #TVK
