Chennai Book Fair goes Online
There is not much for me to scribble about the recent Chennai Book Fair. Today's daily penned about the launch of Chennai Book Fair's new website and their future plans. Even though it gives a simple feel now, let us hope they will keep this site active and feed more for the book worms around the world.

Such innovative initiatives will interest the book publishers to go online, so to get noticed in the e-world.

I couldn't stop myself from saying about this.

Nammavar, the all time classic in Tamil Cinema Industry. People who were at the front and back of this movie will be remembered. But, my special mention goes to the veteran Nagesh. Per the movie, his daugher hangs and died. From the time he heard the news and till the cremation scene, he gets out the tear from audience but not from himself. Broke all the rules of traditional death scene of Kollywood.

Mahesh Mahadevan, the departed musician, who composed the tracks of this movie also gets the pat on his back. GOD always gives us a hint on our end. For Magesh, it was thru Professor Selvam.

Nammar, would be the strong recommendation for all the future entrants to the house of Cinema.

karai mel pirakka vaithai, yengalai kaneeril midhakka vaithai

Yesterday night, it was one more boring walk to reach my place. Slowly I started hearing the sound of an announcement regarding Tsunami Relief fund. I thought it was usual. Yes it was. But the people who involved in this activity inspired me to the core. Yes, they are BLIND guys. They are singing songs with a small archestra in a goods van with a small banner saying 'Paarvaiattror Sangam'. Two boys beside van holding money bags to collect Tsunami fund.

These days people, who are still strong enough to help, are raising their hands to help the badly affected people, which makes no wonder. Especially these blind people, they themself need more support from others for their survival. But these guys roaming around and collecting money without worrying about their living for present. They could use this fund for their survival, but they think that this piece of help can support atleast a family.

Hats off to you Guys.
