90 YEARS OLD & FORCED TO PLEAD DAILY TO KEEP SEWAGE OUT OF HIS HOME IN CHENNAI. PLEASE HELP 🙏

A 90-year-old living with 3 disabled elderly family members in Chrompet Chennai has sewage from the main road drainage entering their home every day.
The foul smell is so unbearable that these elderly residents cannot sleep or even eat peacefully in their own home.

Pallavaram MLA @Kamatchitvk kindly intervened once and arranged help, but it provided relief for just one day. Despite repeated daily complaints since, there is still no permanent solution.

@CMOTamilnadu @chennaicorp @chennaicorporation @GreaterChennaiCorp @TNGovt @actorvijay @TVKVijayHQ @Kamatchitvk @tn_csw @TNDIPRNEWS @MSJEGOI please hear this 90-year-old's plea and help secure an URGENT, PERMANENT SOLUTION, especially with the monsoon beginning.

Please REPOST until someone acts. 🙏

@_PVRCinemas There isn't a clear response from the theatre personnel or booking support on whether Eng subs are available for IMAX shows in chennai. For non-regional movies shouldn't it be obvious to have subs? And the tickets booked for dhurandhar movie alone is non-cancellable.

The love that Bruno is getting on the timeline not just from United fans but football fans, pundits and journalists is great to see.

We have been seeing this guy for six years putting on numbers which are beyond anyone close to him. People take it for granted.
He is truly one of a kind. @B_Fernandes8

CENSOR BOARD is OUTDATED

Not in the context of just @Actor_Vijay ‘s #JanaNayagan ‘s censor issues but in an overall manner, it is truly foolish to think that the censor board is still relevant today

It has long outlived it’s purpose, but it’s being kept alive out of laziness to debate it’s relevance now , and it is the film industry as a whole which is mainly responsible for this

We live in a time where a 12-year old with a phone can watch a terrorist execution filmed on a GoPro, a 9-year-old can stumble upon hardcore porn, and a bored retiree can binge extremist propaganda, indulge in conspiracy theories , from anywhere in the world, uncut, uncensored, algorithmically pushed. All of it is available instantly, anonymously, and without a gatekeeper.

At the same time, everybody in every wake of society speak in abusive language from new channels to YouTubers and from other apps ..If you quote that age old belief that cinema is a powerful medium , don’t ignore the fact that the social media has far more reach than cinema .and it is full of political venom, communal poison, character assassinations, live, uncensored shouting matches in the name of debates.

And in this reality, for the honourable censor board to believe that cutting a word in a film, trimming a shot, or blurring a cigarette will “protect society.” is a Joke

The censor board was born in an era of scarcity when images were rare, access was limited, and the state controlled the media . Cinema halls were crowd points. Newspapers had editors. Television had schedules. Control made sense then.
But today, any form of a control is impossible because no one can no longer decide what people should or should not see

In such times as now, censorship doesn’t prevent exposure… it only insults the viewers .
We are supposed to have smartness to decide who should rule us but not what we want to see or hear ???

What the censor board actually does now is not protection, but only theatrics . It’s a ritual of authority in Oscar worthy performances where scissors replace thinking, and moral pretence moves around in a disguise called responsibility.

The same society that freely scrolls through graphic violence on social media suddenly becomes “concerned” when a filmmaker shows something in a theatre

This hypocrisy is dangerous

Censorship assumes people are children forever as if they aren’t even aware what all things children have access to?

Cinema is not meant to be a classroom where lessons are taught . They are mirrors , view points , expressions and opinions meant to entertain
The job of the authorities is not to edit or cut them out, but to trust citizens enough to decide for themselves ,which is the main point of freedom of speech and expression, guaranteed under the constitution

If the argument is “think of the children or adults who are like children “it takes very less intelligence to understand that they cannot be protected by blunt scissors wielded by committees ,whose own personal tastes pass off as public morality also not to forget their bias and agendas .

Age classification makes sense. Warnings of the content makes sense. Censorship does not.

Continuing to defend the relevance of the censor board today is like insisting on a watchman for a building whose walls have already been broken and everyone can see what’s inside

The world has already moved on to so many platforms which are unfiltered and unsupervised and so the painful question is whether the authorities have the courage to admit that they are obsolete, and more than that, whether we as a film industry collectively have the will to question them on the same
So instead of raising this topic once in a while over a particular film , the fight should be with that particular system of thinking which created the censor board

The first time I met you in the Indian dressing room, you were pranked by other teammates into touching my feet. I couldn’t stop laughing that day. But soon, you touched my heart with your passion and skill. I am so happy that that young boy has grown into a ‘Virat’ player.

I couldn’t be happier that an Indian broke my record. And to do it on the biggest stage - in the World Cup Semi-final - and at my home ground is the icing on the cake.

I just wanted to send this farewell message to all Manchester United supporters.

I would like to express my unwavering gratitude and appreciation for the love from the last 12 years. We’ve achieved a lot since my dear Sir Alex Ferguson brought me to this club. I took incredible pride everytime I pulled on this shirt, to lead the team, to represent this institution, the biggest club in the world was an honour only bestows upon a few lucky footballers.

It’s been an unforgettable and successful period since I came here. I didn’t think from leaving Madrid as a young boy we would achieve what we did together.

Now, it’s the right time to undertake a new challenge, to push myself again in new surroundings.

Manchester will always be in my heart, Manchester has shaped me and will never leave me.

We’ve seen it all. 🤘🏼❤️
