Ideology Matters
Apropos of Prabhu Chawla's Power &Politics ' Column,the author has rightly analysed the recent episode in Gujarat and the image of the  22-year -old leader  fighting for OBC Quota for the Patels.It must be remembered that Narendra Modi  himself reached today's Himalayan status only by way of his ideology and not by fighting against any individual.

Vastu Spell on Modi
Regardless of who occupies 7 RCR,Indian  PMs have not been tackling the crucial issues involving  Pakistan with great success (Prabhu Chawla's Power and Politics ,Aug 23,) it may be because we tend to believe in ahimsa,Given the recent developments on the border, PM Modi should act fast. will he over come the effects of Vaastu?

Connecting factor

Interacting with different people from various walks of life through social media could make one famous, at least virtually.

I interact with so many people by posting links of my work and posting photos as well. Recently, I was bestowed with this moment of happiness when I went to meet my friends in Chennai.  These friends were kind enough to spare their time with me. A few of those friends had read my past articles in newspapers and posted on the social media and they expressed their positive reactions. Social media does bring people closer.

Letter Published in Gulf News UAE on 27Aug 15,India’s voting laws unfair?

The Gulf News story about the Indian court saying that voters have a right to abstain from voting was interesting (‘Court says voters have right to abstain’, Gulf News, August 22). If the government insists on compulsory voting in all elections, they should also amend a new law saying people have the right to throw the government if they fail to deliver on promises and instead lead with corruption and so many other things. I do agree that every citizen should vote for good governance. Will it happen in India?

Today i am going to pen another interesting film personality from Tamil film industry is none other than Director Chimbu Devan.Started his career as a cartoonist in the famous tamil magazine Ananda vikatan  and later  with Popular director Cheran  as assistant . .In his  nine years film career he has given few  remarkable movies and earned a good name is worth to be mentioned.He has worked with all the leading actors  viz,Prakash Raj,Lawrance Raghavendra,Vadivelu,,Santhanam, and others.His films are full of comedy with meaningful dialoques.I have seen few films of this Director.Those movies are Imsai Arasan Pulikesi Arai en 305 il Kadavul, and Irumbukottai Murattu singam. Imsai arasan pulikesi  acted by Vadivelu in the leading roll earned a good name for him.This film was won for  Best Costume  from Tamil Nadu  state award is important.Good Cinematography by Arthur A.Wilson is added attraction for this movie.Other two films also earned a good name for him.Madurai district has created many talented Technicians and ,actors is not a exaggerated one. incidentally  this director also hails from the famous city Madurai.His up coming film with Vijay in the Leading roll and  Natrajan Subramanian as Cinematographer will certainly  earn a wonderful name for  this young Puli.Today i am very happy to tribute this talented Upcoming  Director.
