LOST will always have a special place in TV history. For a lot of people, it wasn’t just a great show. It was the show that introduced them to binge-watching. One episode turned into three, three turned into a season, and suddenly sleep became optional

RIP To The Pioneer Of Tamil Cinema !!

#Bharathiraja

[Mohanlal @Mohanlal]

A director who found poetry in the soil, truth in silence, and soul in every frame. Sharing screen space with Bharathiraja Sir in Thudarum was an honour I will cherish forever.

Rest in peace, Sir. Your legacy will continue to inspire generations, and your presence will be deeply missed.

Tamil cinema hasn’t just lost a filmmaker today.
It has lost the man who changed how villages were seen on the big screen.

Bharathiraja, the legendary director who passed away at 84, brought rural India to the heart of Indian cinema. At a time when stories were largely confined to studio sets, he stepped into real landscapes and told deeply human stories rooted in village life, love, struggle and identity.

His 1977 classic 16 Vayathinile became a turning point for Tamil cinema. Over the decades, he went on to create landmark films like Kizhakke Pogum Rail, Sigappu Rojakkal, Alaigal Oivathillai, Mudhal Mariyathai and Kizhakku Cheemayile, stories that continue to influence filmmakers even today.

Known as Iyakkunar Imayam (The Director's Peak), Bharathiraja's extraordinary career earned him six National Film Awards and the Padma Shri, among many other honours.

But perhaps his greatest achievement was making millions feel seen.

He gave Tamil cinema a new language. One that smelled of soil, sounded like the countryside, and carried the emotions of ordinary people.

RIP Legendary Director #Bharathiraja 💔

His most recent appearance was in #Mohanlal's Thudarum, where he played a key character known as Master.

[Ramesh Bala @rameshlaus]

Tamil cinema has lost one of its greatest storytellers - #Bharathiraja (84) wasn’t just a filmmaker, he was the man who brought the soul of rural Tamil Nadu to the big screen with unmatched realism and emotion.

From introducing unforgettable talents to creating timeless classics, his legacy will live on forever through his cinema.

Rest in peace, Iyakkunar Imayam. 🕊️

Your stories will continue to inspire generations. 🙏

Saw this only now and my heart goes out to the men who lost their lives and also the ones injured. The trauma and scars will be permanent.

I have worked in a foundry for nearly 15 years and have melted and poured different copper alloys with my own hands. I have burned shoes, toes, fingers and once almost lost one of my eyes. Working with 1000+ degree celsius metal at 3 to 10 feet from you is not for the faint hearted. And a ladle accident where molten metal turns you into ashes in minutes is unimaginable pain.

My heart goes out to the men who had to helplessly watch their colleagues die like this. Unlike most regular jobs, the melters and forgers share a special bond with each other. On my furnace floor you will see them constantly yelling, screaming and swearing at each other. But once a heat is done and they are cooling off standing 6 inches from an industrial grade fan pumping air into their faces, they stand bonded deeper than brothers without saying a word. And to helplessly see such a brother die in molten metal is a ptsd one will never get over in their lives.

A lot of times these accidents happen because of an overlooked small maintenance issue. Or some miscalculation in loading of the ladle. As i always tell my boys, you can find 100 reasons for death in post mortem, but it should be the responsibility of everyone of us to ensure such a death doesn’t happen, such an accident doesnt happen.

This accident feels personal and i sincerely pray the families of the departed and the injured find strength in them to absorb the pain and keep going. 🙏

Entire family wiped out :( Meanwhile the news cycle has moved. Illegal construction and encroachments will continue. All small shops in Delhi neighborhoods are extensions of homes and encroachment on the pavement or road. These shops are not even registered as business entity. I am sure administration knows but no one has been able to fix this.

KSRTC is no longer just a public transport corporation.

They have been running Kerala's most underrated ad placement platform without knowing it.

I was going through the news yesterday and found this interesting initiative by KSRTC of placing ads on their bus tickets.

Honestly, this isn't just a small move. It's a very clever one. A much needed one.

If you've spent time waiting at a KSRTC bus depot, you've probably seen brands running ads on those TV screens and digital billboards. But putting ads directly in people's hands takes it to a whole new level.

Why? Because the hardest thing to buy in marketing today isn't clicks. It's undivided human attention.

By opening up their tickets to advertising, they aren't just selling paper space. They are monetizing a bored, captive audience.

With over 2,000 buses moving across Kerala daily, bus stands pull the kind of footfall that dying malls would envy to have. And ads on tickets are just the beginning.

Here are three untapped revenue models that could work for KSRTC:

→If you've used Where is my Train, you've probably wished KSRTC had something similar. A live bus tracking app could attract a significant commuter audience across Kerala. If you combine that with in-app ads, payment integrations, and local brand partnerships and you have a real revenue engine.

→Sponsored uniforms for drivers and conductors on every route, in every district. You are putting brand presence on the people running Kerala's largest public transport network. Moving visibility, all day, district to district.

→KSRTC's own mini media channel. TV screens inside buses and billboards at stands already exist. Instead of just running static ads, KSRTC can run curated original content such as local news, discussions, podcasts, sponsored segments that commuters actually want to watch.

At the end of the day, media companies monetize attention. KSRTC is sitting on a goldmine of it. They just need to realize it.

Kerala has a growing base of marketing agencies and ticketing platforms. The infrastructure is already here. The opportunities are here, it's just about who moves first and how well they use it.

P.S. What other creative ways could KSRTC monetize their reach? Let's brainstorm in the comments.
