Guv, CM cross swords over missing line in Tamil anthem

TAMIL Nadu on Friday witnessed a verbal duel between Governor RN Ravi and CM MK Stalin over what is perhaps a non-issue after those who sang the Tamil Thai Vazhthu in the presence of the former at the Hindi Month celebrations skipped the line with the word "Dravida".

While Doordarshan after a while apologised for the "inadvertent" miss caused due to a distraction and there was no intention to disrespect, Stalin had quickly reacted by then, blaming the governor for disrespecting the sentiments of Tamil people.

Leaders from many political parties, including the AIADMK, also quickly condemned the governor. The valedictory of the Hindi Month celebrations itself began amid opposition from many parties. Those who sang Tamil Thaai Vazhthu skipped the line "Thekkanamum Adhil Sirantha Dravida Nal Thirunaadum"

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.
