ஒரு ஆண்டு கடந்துவிட்டது…
வலி மட்டும் இன்னும் ஆறவில்லை.
நம் கரூர் மண்ணில் நிகழ்ந்த அந்த துயர சம்பவம், ஓராண்டை கடந்தும் நம் மனங்களில் ஆறாத வடுவாகவே உள்ளது.
முதலாம் ஆண்டு நினைவு நாளில்
இதய அஞ்சலி.
I still remember September 27, 2025.
It was a Saturday night. I was at Bangalore, getting ready to board a train to Chennai.
Until that evening, I had watched almost every campaign video of Thalapathy Vijay. Nagapattinam. Trichy. Ariyalur. Thiruvarur. Every speech from the previous week. I had even watched a portion of his morning speech at Namakkal.
An influential industry friend called me in the morning that day and said:
“Unga aal game-ah ye maathitaru. Ippadiye pona, you can even win the elections.”
The irony? The same person had earlier told me weeks back that winning even 10 seats would be difficult.
Then, around 8 PM, @AVinthehousee called.
“Karur-la someone has died. Periya issue aayiduchu.”
My heart sank.
Vikravandi immediately came to my mind.
Not again.
I was rushing to catch my train, so I couldn’t understand exactly what had happened.
Then I reached the station.
Calls started coming in.
Friends from different political parties. Some of them had openly hated Thalapathy as an actor.
But this time, I could hear something different in their voices.
They were happy.
They genuinely believed Vijay’s political career was over.
I boarded the train.
The moment I settled in, I took out my phone, charged it and started reading everything I could about the Karur tragedy.
And for the first time in nearly 20 years of being a Thalapathy fan, even I started wondering:
“Is this the end?”
But the more I read, the more I realised how much bigger the public sentiment was than the political narrative being created around it.
I saw ordinary people defending Vijay.
People who weren’t even TVK supporters.
People who genuinely believed that the tragedy was not something he had intended or wanted to happen.
And yes, I also saw people trying to turn a tragedy into a political weapon.
That part hurt the most.
Because behind every political argument was a family that had lost someone.
A few days later, I had a conversation with a friend who supported a different political party.
I told him:
“Based on the support I’m seeing, Thalapathy is going to win.”
He laughed.
He laughed as much as he could.
He called a few others and made a joke out of what I had said. He even challenged me after that.
But I never changed my opinion.
Not because I was blindly confident.
But because of what I was seeing around me.
The support. The conversations. The sentiment among ordinary people.
That conversation had stayed with me until May 4,2026.
Today TVK has won and Thalapathy is the CM of the state. And today, what hurts despite he winning it is seeing the Karur tragedy still being dragged out as political ammunition.
Criticise Thalapathy Vijay. Criticise TVK. Question the administration. Question the decisions. Demand accountability.
Do all of it.
But please don’t turn dead people into political weapons.
Those people had families.
They had mothers waiting for them.
Fathers expecting them to come home.
Children waiting to see them again.
They weren’t numbers.
They weren’t hashtags.
They weren’t campaign material.
They were human beings.
Our heart will always go out to every single family that lost someone that day.
Whatever politics comes after it, nothing should ever be bigger than the lives that were lost.
Some tragedies should make us human before they make us political.

Just saying… what a beautiful, wonderful 10 days for Tamil Nadu. ❤️
Sharing this timeline so you can decode it yourselves, Makkale. 😉
9th - Hyundai meeting. *(Refer to TNDIPR.)*
10th- collarbone plate removal Surgery.
11th–15th-Bed rest.
16th -Tamilnadu’s first foreign university engagement - University of Western Australia.
18th- Walgreens.
20th- State-level Salem Women’s Kabaddi competition a first-of-its-kind initiative in the village; met our Transport Minister and attended a wedding.
21st-Starbucks GCC signing, UPS and Best Minds.
22nd morning-Breakfast Scheme. Doctor had advised me not to lift anything heavy, but for those few seconds, I still wanted to personally serve a child.
And throughout these days:
I never asked for sympathy.
I never asked for a “Get Well Soon” tweet.
I never asked anyone to praise my dedication.
I simply went back to work. Because that is my job.
Perhaps the commitment is stronger than the discomfort. ❤️
That strength comes from my Amma, Appa and my Anna, Hon. Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay,who taught me responsibility, resilience and never to give up.
And to those who mocked my health:
Please apologise not to me, but to the women in your own homes. Mocking a woman’s health is nothing to be proud of.
And if you’re still doubtful about the surgery, I’ll let you know the dressing and stitch-removal date. Come see it yourself.
The State comes first. The work speaks for itself. ❤️
We had the opportunity to meet with the Hon’ble Minister, @Keerthana4VNR, who graciously took the time to engage with us in a meaningful discussion on the current landscape and future trajectory of the GCC ecosystem in Tamil Nadu. We also congratulated her on the strong momentum of recent GCC MoU announcements and the growing interest from global enterprises in the state.
Her openness to ideas and clear, growth-oriented approach toward strengthening and elevating Tamil Nadu’s industrial ecosystem were truly encouraging.
We also had the opportunity to invite her to the upcoming AIGCC Summit (https://t.co/wCmYQD5HnX), where we look forward to continuing the dialogue on building a stronger, deeper and globally competitive GCC ecosystem.
With the right combination of talent, infrastructure, policy and ecosystem collaboration, Tamil Nadu is well positioned to scale and play a leading role in the next phase of India’s GCC journey.
