Oosi rajas the need for the hour...

The government of india is way out spending its resource at its disposal on AIDS. People are more familiar with "pulli raja" than any other raja now. I feel it is an outright misplaced priority. HIV/AIDS affects .1% of the population. Well , i am not saying it should not be on the radar of the govt. What i am saying is it should be dethroned from its #1 position of govt. priority . Enough of pulli rajas on the prime time TV. Its time to put an end to this misplaced priority.


The awarness should be on targeted audience than this carpet bombing on the hapless citiznery. With the constant bombardment of pulli rajas even the corner tea shop guy knows that India ranks 2nd in the world in the number of AIDS patients. The stigma of cultural inferiority has been smeared on our face.

Every critic of our rich cultural heritage lampoons us with this un proved fact.


Now the WHO has revised its estimate on the number of people carrying HIV. It has down revised the number by, i think, more than 40% . This has not been communicated down to the hapless multitude.


Why is this a misplaced priority? When there are so many things to be done on the basic health infrastructure on a war footing , concentrating on this just to score some brownie points with some foreign charities is really deplorable.

This unnecassry thing on a war footing is causing lack of resources and coordination on even the basic health necassities. The following stats shows how misplaced the priority has been.Where is this country headed to?

Lets now look at some of the stats where there is a great detoriation due to misplced concentration of priorities.

========================================================

Year % for 3 doses of DPT vacc. % for DT booster

=======================================================
1990 100 81.4

1991 90.9 77.8

1992 90.6 77.8

...

.....

1998 90.1 60.8

=========================================================

Not only on diptheria but this awful trend continues on other diseases too. Measles immunization coverage is only 60-50%.

Immunisation coverage for non polio related diseases in Bihar is only 13 per cent, followed by Rajasthan with 19.7 per cent and UP at 26.7 per cent.

Various studies have implicated poor vaccination services and low awareness among parents as the major reasons for poor immuni-zation coverage(22-24,28,34-37).

where is the time and budget when the whole of the union health budget is geared on the creation of pulli raja advertisement. It is enough if the govt. concnetrates on the high risk group for this disease (the lorry drivers and sex workers) instead of bombarding us with pulli rajas in prime time. rather the govt. should be bombarding us with DPT and measles vaccine related "OOsi rajas".

Another question is why it takes a bill gates to open up research on dengue and other tropical disease. Instead of stooping too low to fly balloons made of condoms let the govt. get the priority straight. No more pulli rajas we need only oosi rajas.

Please quit smoking..

The Cine industry raises knuckles when it says that the adivice of Anbumani, the health minister, asking the leading stars not to hit the smoke or the bottle in the screen is an invasion or restriciton over their creativity.

Look who is talking about creativity. Kollywood or bollywood and creativity in the same sentence, even for a moron, is an oxymoron. All the films fail in the hustings just because of lack of creativity or the lack of quality creativity.

If somehow the Hollywood movies did not reach indian shores by way of DVDs or VCRs or the celluloid version then only 2 or 3 films will be ever made per year by the indian film industry. Such is the quality of their original thinking. With this state of affairs these people are crying for restriction over creativity.

The heights of comedy in this saga is the main voice crying foul about creativity is the one who doesnt even bother to alter his plagarism to suit indian context, Mahesh bhatt. He just realses his pirated bollywood version without even taking a small effort to alter his cloned movie to correct even glaring mistakes the original hollywood flick has . A typical example of the famous tamil saying "E adichan copy". From now on this term can be altered to say "Mahesh bhatt adichan copy". Probably this is the reason that crap is crying foul. If he has to stop showing a hero or heroine smoking he has to come out his "banana peel" tardiness to alter those scenes in his video copy paste creativity . Which for his small sized brain looks menancingly huge and throws huge monstrous fears.

When creativity and bollywood,kollywood,tollywood etc., are billions of light year distance away why are the crying interference about it. Perhaps for the same reason which mahesh butt has. It is only becasue they cannot think origianl to architect any scene , for they are only capable of copy paste no edit creativity.

Ram gopal verma is mahesh butt's senior in this. Nishabd is istelf enough of his great copy paste creativity.

Everyone knows that everything shown in the film does not stop in the theatres. It percolates into each and every cell of every movie goers. This is especially true in india where MGR,NTR,Jaya,Rajesh khanna, Govinda, shotgun sinha, ABachchan were made MPS and MLAs and CMs. In India the average cine goer cannot distinguish the real life from reel life.

The ITC is so indebted to Rajini kanth for making crores of idotic tamils to hit to smoke. Even the dumbest of the dumb knows how seeing Rajini's crapy antics with the white roll many idiots are now in theores of death succumbing to the demon ,lung cancer.

These stars for their copy paste creative antics in the screen are raking/stealing big moolahs just from the packets of $1 per day per capita crowd. Dont they have any conscience to repay or do something for the people they have pickpocketed their moolahs ? Are they so mean as the average bus pick pocketer? I have heard that some good souls in that genre return highly important doucments which is of no use to them.

Even when the poor man on the street does not have any money to feed his kids he borrows enough money to see these crapy idiots on the silver screen. He neglects his family,kids and even his hunger and spends whatever money he could lay his hands to, just to spend to see these idiots loitering around trees with big cleaveage woman uttering junkiest of junk lines.

Have these stars done any thing in return? Even if they dont do any good to the public these crapy idoits of the tinsel town should stop creating nuisance to the public.

The actors know very much what would be IQ of us people to see their utter foolish,rubbish crapy monkey antics. So atleast considering our low IQ that we cannot distinguish between real and reel they should turn magnanimous to stop at least the teens not to fall prey to the evils of smoke and liquour. Ramadoss is not asking them to sermon in each and every film about the ills of smoke and liquour what he is begging them (lterally) is to stop eulogising the cigars as if it is an aphrodsia or a viagra or the power to manhood. when i was a kid i thought rajini is epitome of manhood just because of his smoking!! Some how the saner advice of my mother helped me understand the stuff.

Rajini kanth has caused enough havoc on tamils. He is a demon for he has pushed sooooooooooooo many youngsters to the evil of smoke. so is sharukh khan on the hapless Northies. If whatever Hindu Gods have said in purnas is true, i hope someday these two demons would be slaughtered by some avatar of vishnu to deliver salvation to the multitude of people.

God , the purnas say, first gives verbal advice to the demons to quit their bad shows if the demons dont heed to those sensible words God takes to his weaponary to .....

Me and Myself..

"...You guys have no other way. Your ears are destined to hear only my brother's songs. He is the genius..." Idolization should not be to this extreme. But it is Tamil nadu , its our way of life. This is one of the most irritant self vaunting i have heard. I wish i could call it as the most idolatory/sychopantic words ever uttered . But TN is TN , the birth place of extreme idolation and this sycophancy was just surpassed and surmounted by idolaiton much worse than this.

The first and the most basic path to salvation is forgetting me,myself and I. People who display 3 gargatum lines of ash smeared across their forehead with a big kumkum in the middle to portray their sense of humbleness are the ones in the forefront of salivating,expecting demanding extreme sycophancy. They think the 3 lines of ash is just enough to attain salvation but in reality they cannot even cross the basic tenet of salvation in their words and deeds.

Salvation for them stops just at the ashes with nothing more to follow. I hope every one by now know whom i am referring to. I am just referring to Ilayaraja, who with his chamcha brothers crowned himself as king of music.

scores and scores of directors were humilated by the whimps and wishes of his mood and pride. some scenes in every film praising him were a must, to get him compose music for that film. I remember one of Parthiban's film even carried lots of big cutouts of this creep for no rhyme or reason. Lyricsts worked overtime to fit lines praising him in film songs during such lines his cutouts would be displayed in the film unnecessarily. Heores in the midst of running around the trees during the song would do a salute to his cutout during those lines. Ramarajan's films were great example of this suffocating sycophancy.

This sycophancy was growing to such an extent that it started to suffocate and even asyphix viewers. It was just a feeling of being put in a cloistered room with scant oxygen and abundant smoldering smoke. Thank god a small window got opened to gush in some fresh air to relieve the smoky congestion. That gushing breeze energised the room with great energizing fragrance and it sucked out the smoke to extinction.

That fragrant breeze started with
"chinna chinna aasai ..." to chisel out the much needed epitaph to the much disgusting personality.

Irrelevance of Vairamuthu..

I have never felt moved by most of his film songs. I felt his lines were really incoherent and i could not find any smooth transition between the lines. I always felt a jerk in sequencing of thoughts.

No one can really quote any song where his words and thoughts are strong. The songs through out his reign in the industry were more striking for the music than for their words. His imaginations are utmost dry and only sensible words he could muster are during songs which says what would happen if this did not happen but this happens variety. Other than this genere most of his songs are as dry as desert and nothing that smothens mellifluously your heart.

The gap between poetry and lyricism widened because of him. Our tastes were blunted and we had to fall into false sense that film songs cannot have any literary sense. He lowered the quality of words in songs to create such a domino effect on the overall Tamil film lyrics that it even embolded fourth rated crapy guys like gangai amaran, Ilyaraja to pen songs for films. It is a great pity that he could win the most coveted national award for film songs more time than any other lyricist. Cant help but puke his connection with MK in this regard.

Thank God he is no longer the much sought after guy and his film obituary is being finalized. the new breed of lyricists Na. muthukumar, kabilan, pa.vijay etc., can so beautifully blend film song lyrics and Tamil poetry. Even a "kutthu" song ,like "katthaza kannala" now has great beautiful words woven into it. Its a great sense of relief to the ears that were used only to "Aathadi Pavada kaathada.......".
