Its pongal today!!!its a big day for the uzhavargal(translated in english as farmers).go to any village,and ull experience the enormity of this festival. sitting in a city like chennai,pongal is all but reduced to tv watching.
whats common between movies like kaadhal kondein,villain etc and maatu pongal? maybe ajit can be compared to a maadu,(not the ajit with his new slim looks),but this theory cannot even remotely apply to dhanush.
jokes aside,my question is what are these tv channels doing to indian festivals? they are doing a lot to glorify cinema(thanks a lot to sun,jaya and all the others) no doubt, but they have reduced occasions like pongal to nothing more than "fun with the idiot box". now difference between a diwali and pongal is, on pongal dhool was telecasted while on diwali thirumalai would be.
you cant blame the satellite network for this,all they do is stick to their job,or otherwise they woudnt survive in the cutthroat competition betw channels. no use imparting blame onto the film industry cos this is the only way they get tremendous publicity.
so whom can u blame? keep thinking about this,while i have to go.its 11.30 and time to watch kushi. ;)
