"The school education department officials and its minister have already met with the union minister concerned regarding the implementation of the National Education Policy. I also plan to meet the PM," Stalin said.

On the possible cabinet reshuffle that he had hinted at before the US visit, Stalin said the party is set to celebrate its 75th anniversary this month and the 'situation' that is 'expected' might materialise.

The CM said he met with representatives of 18 Fortune 500 companies. "Nineteen MoUs have been signed eight in San Francisco and 11 in Chicago-securing ₹7,618 crore worth of investments. This is expected to generate 11,516 jobs, benefiting several TN districts," he said.

Bland mix of several underwhelming ideas

Beyond the world of genres and subgenres, lies stories which are powerful enough to become popular tropes of their own. A group of kids going on adventures, and solving mysteries, is one such trope. We have seen iterations of this in popular media like The Famous Five, The Goonies, and Stranger Things. While trying to follow a popular story structure is nothing to be frowned upon, Prime Video's Snakes and Ladders goes above and beyond to remove even the inherent joys of the stories it aims to emulate.

MASTERCLASS BEYOND METHOD ACTING

A blank screen in a cinema theatre transforms every day, portraying tales of heart-wrenching star-crossed lovers, a goosebump-inducing haunted house, or comedy that leaves one aching all over. Many have written endlessly about the power and magic of cinema, and rightfully so. A movie-going experience is incomparable. In Tamil Nadu, theatres are never empty, single screens thrum with whistles, howls and kuthu moves, and the first-day-first-show tickets are coveted. And neighbourhoods in Vadapalani and Kodambakkam are landmarks, still carry dreams of aspiring actors.
