Is DMK losing the momentum that they've built with the suspicious death of Mr Ajit kumar in Tirupuvanam, Sivagangai dist? There are people less fortune around us in terms of education, support, advantages and privileges and to take advantage over them and to go to an extent of slaying is indeplorable.  It is such a daring act to detain someone on the suspicious ground and take for a ride in their convoy without a complaint launched against.  As per the Indian law governed by section 378 of the Indian penal code(IPC), which contour the act of taking someone's movable belonging without their consent would result in punishment under section 379 of the IPC , which can be imprisonment for upto 3 years and a fine or both depends upon the magnitude of the crime and no where it mentions to bump off. Quite disturbing to witness 24th such incident in a span of 4 years, and to give excuses of lack of workforce on the ground and work life balance are pathetic cliche. And it will certainly...

It is not easy to live in a nation,  where our religious identity determines our value and our belonging. And if the same yardstick had been used in the time of independence , India would've not advanced to the stage we are.  And to overlook the contribution of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Dr Zakir Husain and Maulana Mohammad ali in the freedom struggle would expose the true nature of RSS and BJP. Infact, they have even concealed their significant works in the social, cultural and intellectual landscape. Muslims built so many observatories and huge advancements in the fields of trigonometry and spherical geometry. In addition they contributed in the field of medicine, mathematics , arts, literature and science. Wonder whats wrong is accepting their notable work? Such a community getting seized of their properties, threated, censored, and excluded n  is quite harrowing. The majority of the BJP in the parliament makes them minorities in our country. Quite certain that they woul...

Not sure if he ever reckons the desire of his fans, followers, wellwishers and dissents for a participatory and inclusive governance. In spite of vox populi as an actor, coversely a section opinions as a catalyst for progress in politics.  The contemporary political parties might scorn him as a naive, less-informed or a matinee idol, but certainly can't underestimate his mass appeal and potential to stand up to the adversities.  And only one facet of him remains indecipherable-wavering about grounding, and displaying a disinclination. Given the wide acceptance, Mr Vijay enjoys among the youths, women and minorities, he can certainly achieve a remarkable result in the 2026 election.  But I wonder if he could , taking into account of his other pursuits. And if he has a deep commitment towards the better of the society, he should advance swiftly in reaching out to the people. On a lighter note, We would want to see him not mix cinema and politics, though we are fond of his g...

Mens sana in corpore sano translates "Healthy mind in a healthy body " in English - It is coined by a roman poet Mr Juvenal Satires. Often wonder how come someone stay cool all the time in spite of being bullied, ridiculed, mocked and vilified by the opposition parties, youtubers and even by his own fraternity people, notwithstanding his continous absence on the field. My quest to find answer for the starling question made me to reach out to few of theTVK Sr partymen. And wasting no time, asked what is Mr Vijay's aspiration and strategy for the 2026 election? And taken a back hearing that "There is nothing as such and added only those who want to make a living out of politics aspire and strategize because of the greediness to grab power and make money. We have come in to serve the people. In fact, thats the reason why we disengage and keep ourselves away from the mudslinging politics".  And the response prompted me to pose a follow up question: But we don't ...

In spite of the lapses of the ruling government, it is singularly infelicious that the AIADMK is still not able to capitalize the opportunity and make headway. The alleged custodial death of  Mr Ajith Kumar, a security guard of Madapuram Badrakaliamman temple in Tirupuvanam, which is falling under the purview of the Hindu charitable endowment, has sent shock waves across the state and the saddest part is that the opposition party, which was supposed to jump up the gun and duke it out, has caught up in a web of issues within their party and merely remain a spectator like us.  Mr Ajit kumar had been picked up by the police officers after a couple of devotees visited the temple accused him of stealing an 80 grams of gold from their car. It is being reported that the robbed sought the help of the deceased to park their car and when they were set to leave the place, noticed the jewels were missing from the car. Shockingly, he was neither proved culpable. nor filed chargesheet by th...

What seemed easy as pie six months ago has now become beyond the bounds of possibility. And no one else but the top leadership hold liable for the party's hapless situation. Sadly, the misguided decision to join forces with BJP has demoralized the party cadres, booth workers, if not even a section of senior leaders. No one was able to comprehended as to why Mr Eps had accepted Mr Amit Shah to declare the alliance, knowing of the repercussions. And if we revisit the AIADMK-BJP alliance past performance, nothing is convincing to approve the decision.  Till the day before they declared the tie-up, AIADMK ministers were resisting the moves of BJP on Delimitation, Waqf, 3 language imposition and spriling price rise. And i wonder how come in overnight they are able to form an unlikely alliance. Atleast are they not aware the price rise is pinching the common man pocket? Ofcourse, there are no permanent friends, or foes in politics.  But what about maintaing supremacy as the second l...

Just because there are so many hothead at large, one can't vouch for the two well-known actors, who were nabbed in the drug abuse case,  as an innocence and a scapegoat.  And to hear such a statement from the cheif of a party , who declares himself as the embodiment of change is quite disappointing.  It is evident that there are so many drug-related crimes being committed in the society.  Hence, it should be dealt sternly. And out of personal bond , aiding the substance user is observed as under par for the leadership. And wonder if in case they had both committed any crimes under the influence of drug , Mr Seeman Still backed them as poor. Of late, Naam Tamilar chief is veering off direction, by fighting for lifting the ban on Toddy consumption, supporting drug abusers, and so on and so forth. According to many , he is easily influenced and goes out to support anyone commits offense,  if he knows the perpetrators personally.  But that's not how a leader sh...

One of the most controversional youtuber, infamously known for badmouthing ruling ministers and opposition leaders and arrested for possession of Marijuana is ceaseless and this time around he talks ill of Cheif minister, Top rank police officials and even judiciary system.  And remorselessly without any corroboration and authenticity he is placing slandering remarks and disreputing prominent people from all walks of the life. What is even worse is to see him , enjoying celebrity like status in the society , inspite of the idea of morality is ebbing all-time low in him. Why am I being biased to him is simple for the reason, others are not getting too personal , and discusses without morality conviction about the cheif minister health, his age related geriatric disorder and insensitive comments about the chief of the jurisprudence.  And according to many, he is an illustration of what not to, and how not to in a visual medium. No wonder he remains unchanged for he does not have...

  Quite unfair to sideline and undermine the potential of Mr D Jayakumar.  His contribution towards the party's growth and ability to rise to the occasion was highly regarded by the Late supremo Dr J Jayalalitha. Infact,  it was only because of the very reason, she entrusted him with so many portfolios and responsibilities.  And even, when Mr Palanisamy leadership came under the attack for handling BJP with kids gloves by the opposition parties, He countered them back, and defended the party's chief. Needless to say, when senior leaders of AIADMK were hesitant to speak against Mr TTV Dhinakaran and Mrs VK Sasikala, fearing their clout in the party, it was again Mr D Jayakumar who confronted them and paid dearly for it with them attacking personally. A sudden manifestation of nonchalance demeanour of Mr Eps in declaring alliance with BJP against his objection and subsequent decision to name the candidates for the Rajya sabha arouse resentment for Mr D Jayakumar. ...

It is with a profound agony, we would have to comprehend the facts that there are very less number of Muslims occupied in government jobs, paramilitary forces, and Worst of all is that there are only 1% muslims in army, in spite of occupying 15% in our country's total population. And , yet we describe ourselves as the most democratic , peace loving nation, with diversified languages, cultures and religions and championing social justice and equality. Musilms have very poor representation in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha and expect for Kashmir,  we don't have a muslim cheif ministef in any of our Indian states.  In addition to all the hostilities , Muslims are shouted by BJP leaders to go back to Pakistan, accused of love jihad, and murdered for beef consumption.  Just like rubbing salt on a festering wound, BJP had recently passed the waqf bill , and took control of their monuments,  properties, wealth, treasures and heritage.  And i can still recall some of th...

We would like to extend our appreciation to the police force of Tamilnadu, for cracking down the drug rocket , and their relentless pursuit to slap non bailable charges against the peddler and his customers. Some of the big names in the Kollywood industry are hitting the headlines for the wrong reason. And it has given us a great lesson as to how all the glorified actors on the wide-screen are not morally bounded in their real life. Not like to be unfair and mentioning their names, considering their family members and kids.  And to see a party leader , backing the actor taken into the custody yesterday,  by stating he was an innocent and made a scapegoat,  inspite of him accepting to the crime of being in possession and taking it , goes to show how insensitive and irresponsible he was. He is the same person who backs the toddy consumption.  At times , we start to wonder as to how brazenly all these so called celebrates enjoying a considerable fan following behaving s...

Just imagine a period of uncertainty,  and censorship: Two or more people are not allowed to come out and gather in public, Anyone revolt or rebel be taken into the custody and slap charges for posing threat to internal security of India,Opposition leaders were locked up in jail or Anyone spoke against Mrs Indira Gandhi for that matter. Newspaper were not given free hand to publish news, concerning the state of the nation,  and infact it was bowdlerized. In the name of the manufactured excuse to protecting the security of India, the nation was traumatized.  There were two reasons associated to it: Slum clearance drive and sterilization and her unconditional love for her son,Sanjay Gandhi, made her to run the dreadful spree. And she never regretted for such a wilful act, rather Trump up and glorified it as a drive to protect the nation. And because of her wicked act, some of the senior politicians like Jayaprakash Narayanan had serious health issues. Infact , it was due to...

No denial , Mr VP Singh led a great life in terms of serving to the downtrodden and needy. And his fondness for Tamilnadu and Mr Karunanidhi,  Needless to recall. Mr Karunanidhi was the only leader in the entire India to have spoken high of his leadership skills, and secular traits. And his tenure as the prime minister between 89-90 , was blissful for Tamilnadu, for he made sure to address the maximum issues,  concerning minorities.  He was vocal about social justice and freedom of speech till his last breath which is why he even accepted to die on a day emergency was declared.  Quite certain Mr Stalin protect the legacy of this great leader who supported the minority appeasement and dalits raise.. - Sundaresan Thankappan 

Not sure if he proclaimed with conviction. However it is more or less coming true: MK is likely to win close to 200 seats and creating history in Tamilnadu going by the weak opposition and naive new players. Astonished at his round the clock hardwork, initiatives to honouring the commitment. Undeniably,  he is taking DMK to the next level by reaching out to each and every home through his welfare schemes. Even as an opposition leader,  he was active and made a mark. In fact, i tell many it was because of being a good opposition leader, he became the ruling minister today. His feat in Healthcare and Education speak high of his leadership skill. Very early he understood that it was only through education we can achieve our progress. And Needless to document, how Education sector is shaping up with various schemes, and upgrading teaching standards in government aided schools. - Sundaresan Thankappan 

When my chitappa, Mr Chengannur Mohan Dass was directing the serial Shwetha on Surya TV, he visited us in Chennai. And since he was family, he spoke a lot about his experience working with Sun TV crew and why he choose to. And even when he campaigned for Mr Sashi Tharoor in Trivandrum, and that time  he rang and informed Mr Shashi expressed his fondness on Mr Karunandhi and his oratory skill. And also I would like mention here that my chittapa was instrumental behind the success of Late Cochin Haneefa, he literally directed Benz Vasu, and vatsalyam on his behalf.  Always carried the little luggage as to why Keralites love DMK so much, be it Late supremo Karunanaidhi or MK Stalin, and My Chittapa with a light-heardness said they were the one , even for the sake talks about righteousness, minorities appeasement, and casteism.  DMK has impacted so much on malayalis, and without any return. And in fact , Pinnari Vijayan, Ooman Chandy, EK Nayar, Ak Antony always had high regar...

When there was an allegation and considerable evidence on the safety concerns in Boeing Max, Mr Trump, boldly took a call to ground the Airlines,  and similar request are being place to Mr Modi government with regards to Air India. And in the public interest, can he call off the services? According to many, Air India maintainence are of no comparison to other Airlines service, it is all time bad. And because of not able to withstand the loss and expenses , Government of India handed it back to Tata. And as it is Tata's business is dropping down, with Zodiac,Zudio  and Star bucks are running in loss and to venture into the aviation business, undertandly not their choice at the hour. Just to recall, Tata launched Air India with great enthusiasm,  and due to hiking parking charges and fuel charges, they handed it over to the government of India. Even Government of India faced the heat, and pressurized Tata to take it over again.  And Tata was not willing to invest any m...

How different cinema was during the lifetime of Papettan? There wasn't any violence,  item songs, double-barreled dialogues,  still kept all enthralled and engrossed. And his commitment towards documenting the emotions, culture and relationship in story telling takes precedence over other things. If Peruvazhiambalam the last black and white  movie talks about coming about of adulosense, Parannu,  Parannu , Parannu and Thinkalaazhcha nalla divasam speaks high of family values, and its importance. Still can't move on from the character's of Mesthiri Shivanpillai in Oridathoru Phayalvaan, and Appaappan Thampi in Moonam pakkam. His movies continue to keep his legacy alive. Remember vividly,  when my father's friend Late veteran dubbing artist Harippad Soman, and legendary actor Prathapachandran Verma spoke high of padmarajan after his demise, as a small kid,  least knew his contribution to Malayalam cinema, rather world cinema.  It is so unfortunate that t...

I  would like to thank Mr Vijay for extending birthday greetings to me on 20th of June over text, merely for being his well wisher, and writing blogs on him.  And in the interest of it, i would like to extend invitations to various meetings across the state to honour downtrodden and army personals. No doubt he is a great actor, we all keralites love him, and he has come into politics, only to create a difference. And i would talk to him personally about do's and don'ts.  But since he has come out in the interest of contributing something to the society, i always appreciate him. And decided to keep him ahead in the pages which were glared by elites:  Outlook, India Today , Tehelka and The week. And my signature campaign is on coming Sunday. And based on his availability i would head to neelangarai. Sundaresan Thankappan 

TVK over AIADMK! How come we are forgetting Mr Vijay, who has a huge fan following, and gracious personality.  Of course,  he is a great actor who can dance splendidly, bring the state to a standstill. But is it so Mr Kamal Hassan? He would certainly create a difference in this election, and all set to eat the vote bank of AIADMK and remain a next big thing after DMK. What is so incredible of his party is that the maximum of them are youngster,  who are willing to go any extreme to make him the leader. And good thing for Mr Vijay is that AIADMK is facing leadership crisis, and in no time after the election all of the AIADMKians would join TVK.  But as an observer I only wish Mr Vijay to stay active, if at all he wants to contribute to the society, which gave him a name and fame. Going by the way the AIADMK is positioning themselves below TVK, there is no doubt, they are losing their reputation and vote banks, and not concerned even if Mr Vijay takes over their positi...

It is with sheer confident that we declare here that DMK is forming the government again in 2026 and there is no room for fanaticism and extermism and by remaining soft on BJP , AIADMK is likely to meet its dead end as well in 2026. Holy cow! Leave Eps and leadership aside, It is with such a pain that the AIADMK cadres and ground level partymen are facing the election in 2026. And no doubt people would certainly ask as to why all of a sudden in a span of a year, AIADMK is volunteerly backing BJP, inspite of their misconduct. And also don't ask me as to how much hatred mounting against BJP in Royapuram and Virugambakkam constituency,  in fact, when i spoke to cadres of Virugambakkam,  they almost gave up, reaching out to people, because of the back and forth decision of Mr Eps - only waiting for Mr VN Ravi's appointment to cover a 15 mminutes questionnaire,   which i guess on the way. Don't know as to why Mr D Jayakumar is worrying when Mr Idreams Murthy is a big let ...

"It is such a shame that Mr Eps is sending his  ministers to participate in religious conferences and RSS meetings", retorted an AIADMK sympathizer. In between, I know, he will continue to meet the IT wings head , as long as i blog. "He further adds, We never wanted our AIADMK,  launched by our guiding light Mr MGR, and driving force J Jayalalitha to be led by an in**ne". "Almost all the cadres are in disappointment because of the reckless attitude of Mr Eps. And they allege that he is not listening to anyone now a days. He is taking Mr SP Velumani, CV Shanmugam and KP Munusamy to his confidence and having them by his side deciding things", says an sexagenerian AIADMK man. Mr Gokul from Virugambakkam,  a stauch supporter of Virugai Ravi says "It will not last long, and if AIADMK loses the 2026 election, he is done for good". Personally,  I was a bit suspicious when Mr D Jayakumar declined my invite to meet him on 20th of Jun'25, and now i can...

Folks , It is with authenticity,  we confirm here that the antagonism is escalating day after day  between Mr Eps and Mr D Jayakumar. It all started with the declaration of alliance between AIADMK-BJP,  inspite of Mr D Jayakumar objection and bitter feeling, followed by rejecting the invite from Mr Eps to join the dinner with Mr Amit Shah. Even he expressed his dislike with some of colleagues like Mr Semmalai and Mr Anwar Raja for Mr Eps sending the party ministers to Lord Muruga devotees conference recently. It is confirmed by a reliable source that he is avoiding phone calls of Mr Eps , and reluctant to show up for a discussion , inspite of being summoned several times to the party headquarters.  He is also considering other options with his party colleagues and even contemplating to reach out to his long time friends Mr Thambi durai, Sengottaiyan and also his mentor and  Sr politician Mr Hedge. When we spoke with few of the partymen, on anonymity, they say "w...

It is being reported that Mr D Jayakumar is still  struggling to move on from the displeasure over the alliance and denial of a Rajya sabha ticket by Mr Eps. And he is continuously expressing his displeasure to his friends and well-wishers. Right from the day when the alliance was announced, he has distanced himself from appearing in front of press and media, and continued with his constituency works and attending public functions. And he deliberately avoided meeting with Eps during the Pollachi jayaraman's son's wedding by coming little late to the occasion.  In fact , Rumor mills that even he rejected the invite to break bread with Mr Amit Shah in Chennai,  post declaring the alliance. When we try reaching out to him to authenticate the information , we are informed by him , that he would soon meet the press with regards to it. As we jot down the piece of deets,  one of his staunch supporter in Royapuram, growled, "Amma would've leveraged his potential, in a way , ...

Enough of this hide and seek, and beat around the bush, if BJP can declare without a speck of doubt , regarding the census and its effects on limiting the seats of Tamilnadu in the upper house, their stand on three language policy, Waqf, allocating funds for education to our state, and curtailing price rise ,we will be relieved. Infact BJP was aware that there was an uneasiness over some of their proposals in Tamilnadu, but they choose to not address it and carrying on with things less concerned about from the people's standpoint. And Jeez, their superarogatory political stunt over Lord Muruga is so appaling, if not not worth a penny. As someone watching them for more than a decade now , under the leadership of Mr Modi, knows the nitty-gritty of their politics, and except for establishing their political identity in Tamilnadu,  they have no other serious concerns about us. Regrettably, they have choosen AIADMK, to revive the public perception, because of some of their ministers mal...

When AIADMK joined hands with BJP , i was very sure that if they were voted to power in 2026, they were going to run the government , the same way they did between 2016-21, taking commands from BJP, and thrusting all the unacceptable proposals. And the recent Lord Muruga conference is the best example. Prior to the conference, Eps was asked his opinion on it, and as usual, he didnt give a straight answer as to whether he was for or against it, even on the language controversy of Amit Shah, and Keezadi museum. It is very much understandle that there is a compulsion for Mr Eps to remain in the BJP alliance for some reason, otherwise nobody will extend an unflinching support,  knowing the background of BJP, its votebank in Tamilnadu and their temperament towards muslims and dalits. By sending their ex-ministers to the conference in Madurai, they have only proved that they are going to be an "Yes Man" to his partner BJP, failing to understand it is not just the hindus voted AIADM...

Deeply distrubed at the present state of the Aviation Industry as a whole. In order to make  megabucks quickly, compromising on the standard procedures , and maintaince of the aircraft.  Boeing are in service in more than 150 countries, and it has built a huge reputation in the world aviation market, till the two incidents occured, in fact it eventually grounded the aircraft down. It was of 737 max: one in Jakarta, Indonesia and the another in Addis ababa, Ethiopia. 737 max is the successor to 737 NG. And on both the occasions Boeing blamed the pilots and their flight operating standards, in spite the deceased pilots were trained in US, and they had not given enough information about MCAS system and its criticality.  MCAS is nothing but a software which helps in preventing the flight from stalling down. In simple, whenever there is an angle-of-attack at a certain speed, the flight would stall out, and by enabling MCAS, it will automatically bring down its nose back to its...

He killed innocent civilians to escape from the corruption charges, and handed over the party on a silver plate to Modi, for his personal gains.  One more term to AIADMK will witness more gun shots across the state to impress the BJP government and simply to hide the AIADMK corruption charges. Eps and team corruptions are quite well known, and the alliance is only to hide all their wrongdoings, under the carpet And some of their paid Youtubers are propagating him as a saint and the best leader, just because of the privileges, they enjoyed,and of their affinities, and forgetting the ache in spine of a common man. The son of farmer is not declaring his finance statement for 24-25, and evading charges due to their family member continous tax evasion and his money laundering during his term as a road transport minister. - Sundaresan Thankappan 

  Such a massacre, if not a cold-blooded murder in a broad-light , and the victims are father of a school going child, mother of an infant, that not out of breast feeding, an ice cream peddler, fishermen, vegetable vendor, and few innocent civilians. And the so called son of a farmer had acted mercilessly and without guilt, talk about law and order lapses in the DMK government.  It is such a shame that we are having AIADMK as an option in the election race , in spite of their cruel act against the human race. And to see a section vouching for him, and terming him as better than MK Stalin is such a nonsensical, idiotic, absurd and ludicrous statement. Remember I spoke to the victim families, and they could not come to terms that the family breadwinner no longer alive, and with tears running down on their cheeks,  said we never thought our government would deal us with a gun.. To be continued... - Sundaresan Thankappan 

It is clear that AIADMK has fallen at the feet of BJP to escape charges for the loots of public funds. And unfortunately,  They have gone to the extreme of giving up their own party and its ideologies and willing to comprise on the state and its rights as well. Undoubtedly,  DMK is having the clear edge in the 2026 election, and in fact they have done pretty well as compare to AIADMK in the last 4 years, especially in Healthcare and Education.  Quoting Kapil Sibal, " Access, Equity, Quality, Affordability and Accountablity are the foundation of NEP, and it can be only attained by proper sanctioning of education funds to the state government". And luckily, Tamilnadu has been able to attained the feat , in spite of improper funding from the center government,  due to their self-funding policy in education sector.  Even in Healthcare , they have done remarkably well, with noted institution like HCA and Mayo , applauding their good works in the area of ENT science a...

We are going to document the lapses and loots of the AIADMK government and its minister during 2016-2021 , after the demise of J Jayalalitha,  and we cover even the abuse of power, crime against women, misconducts of the then ministers, atrocities against Dalits and minorities, keeping in mind the 7C's of Journalism. It is only to prove that they've not given us a good governance to talk about Mr Stalin led DMK.  And my blog encompasses of the corruption in Education, Dairy, Transport, Healthcare, IT and various other sectors by the AIADMK ministers.  We are duty bound to present the percapita statistics of both between 2016-21 and 2021-26 rationally for the readers to judge as to who has given the better governance.  And also covering the interviews of Tuticorin shoot out victims family , to understand how the cruel the incident was , and how it has impacted their life. All these can be expected in the coming weeks! - Sundaresan T

It is almost certain that AIADMK-BJP alliance is in a despair and perceive that unless TVK and VCK join them , they can't rout the mighty DMK. According to my intuition, it is quite not possible, they would join an alliance, which is headed by BJP.  It is also confirmed that DMK is forming the government, because of the demented decision of AIADMK to join hands with BJP. And as far Mr Thirumavalavan is concerned, in spite of having indifferences with DMK, he continues in the DMK led alliance, because of the interest of the 2nd line leaders like Aloor Shanavas and Vanniarasu. And he fears that the party might split, if he pulls out of DMK alliance.  And TVK has been articulate right from the day, when they launched the party that BJP and DMK are their rivals, and it is infeasible for them to go with BJP. And even if they do at the last minute , they could not make any differences, if not they might lose their own share of votes due to the credibility factor. - Sundaresan T

Of late,  Mr Eps has gone on hiatus and the second line leaders of AIADMK are doing most of the talking with regards to the alliance, and countering the charges of the ruling government.  And what he has not understood is that his silence has fueled gossips and unfair assumption. And some of the youtubers are exagerrating that there is a rift in the alliance,  whilst the so called political observers are mumbling that they are in cahoots to remove the DMK from power. But is the opposition leader not duty bound to meet the press atleast twice a week in the run up to the election , atleast when he was hurled with attacks by the opposition? Has he not comprehended that his silence would lead to speculations and confusion? It's alright if he takes his time when things are  normal and under control,  but right now it is slipping out of his hands, with Mr Annamalai running his mouth on anything and everything, related to the coalition government,  and his partner...

The objective is to unlearn what i have learnt about him, and discover things from a voter standpoint.  An youngster in his mid 20's on anonymity,  says that "It was because of Mr D Jayakumar,  some of the fishermen families are meeting their ends, today". "After a cyclone, most of them in this settlement had lost their fishing nets, and their boats got severely wrecked.  And on hearing their ordeal situation, Mr D Jayakumar rushed and extended the support to fix the damaged boats, and bought them all the new fishing nets, which helped them to return to normalcy, and remained independent in their life and this help he did when he was not in power". And he further adds "Some of the reforms in the fishery sector during his tenure had elevated his image among the People in this fishing hamlet".  We further navigated into the maze of mannarsamy Koil street, and  MS Koil street and so on and reached out to a scores of  local people to discover more informat...

Rahul Gandhi,  the great grandson of Jawaharlal Nehru has turned 54 today and as the congressmen celebrate his birthday across the nation , we will take a look at his political career, intently. As someone hails from a congress family , i always want them to do well, and in the interest of it, I would like to capture my views and expectations from Mr. Jr Gandhi. Unlike other politicians,  Rahul Gandhi was handed the role of the chief of Congress party on a silver plate, given his family legacy. And naturally,  the expectation too was high, not only for the family lineage, but also for being young and with so much potential. However, Somewhere in between he lost it completely and given way for his criticizer to maul him.  And What was expected of him as the opposition was to Strom the parliament, and dress down the Modi Sarkar for their fanaticism,  favorism and jingoism. But, He failed to hold on to the advantages that the party had , and gave into the political...

It is quite evident that BJP is uncertain about their chances to make inroads in Tamilnadu,  which is why they have decided to ride on AIADMK -  It is absolutely for their own benefit and in the interest of increasing their stocks in the state. Many can still hear the cry of agony of the people of tamilnadu, during cylone and the subsequent lapses in restoration, due to negligence of state's fund by BJP. It is not easily forgettable for the victims, and it was perceived as a dereliction of the centre government, considering Tamilnadu was a non BJP ruled state. How can a prime minister, who took oath under the indian constitution, which speaks high of ensuring justice, liberty, equality and fraternity be so partial? And to remorselessly show up during the election , and vociferates at the lapses of the state government is an obtuseness, if not whimsical. Not once they have done things without hurting the sentiments of Tamils, and unceasing to impose all that we oppose to. As a ...

His large warm gestures, beguiling smile, light-hearted wits and twinkling small eyes set him apart from other politicians. In spite of his busy schedule,  he always finds time for his friends and well-wishers, and most importantly pays attention to, and ensure to take note of , if some of their suggestions are valuable and worth considering. The sexagenerian politician is the most sought after man in the Royapuram constituency,  for his affable and generous nature. In fact, some of the local people are of the credulous that it was only under his leadership,  the constituency showed good progress in terms of development. Proud to be referred as a loyalist of Late AIADMK Supremo J Jayalalitha,  D Jayakumar daily schedule would make you flabbergasted. And remarkably he maintains a nice balance of time between his party and constituency works.  And my quest to unravel and discover the reason as to why he didn't make it to the house 6th time , made me to hit the roa...

Our intention is not to find fault at BJP, and deliberately make them culpable for someone's else deportment. It is all on the book, for the readers to cross verify, and make a judgement for themselves. And this is completely based on the conduct of the BJP leaders both from the center and the state and as mentioned earlier, it doesn't carry any malicious discourse , aimed at disreputing the party as a whole -  It is rather an observation, which is intended to expose the true colour of the fanatics.  Just forget their past misdeeds, and discuss only their recent moves: They've taken control of the Waqf, which is seen by many as done intentionally, focused at seizing control of the heritages, treasures, monuments and properties of Muslims, and to erase the traces of them in the Indian history, discrediting their contribution and if not leaving  them rotten. When something has its own legacy, and centuries old canon, not convinced by the wilful bill to bring it under the gl...

Just change your brain neurogically from being a record of the past to the map to the future, quotes international lecturer, researcher and corporate consultant, Mr Joe dispenza. According to scholars, Mr Seeman is transgressing the code of conduct as a politician,  outlawing, instigating wrong morals and principals to the next generation , insane , and crooked- He is so hyper, and influenced so much by movies and movie stars. But to his cadres, he is a supernatural,  who could challenge Galilieo and Einstein , but cant even challenge Mr Wilber Sargunaraj IQ and decency as per me. And quite an horrendously second standard politician , who set wrong trends,  and direct the next generation to his world , filled with uncivilized and backward logic and approaches. Not one well informed has come out in open and asserted till now that he is a barbaric,  immoral and imbibing misleading information about our nation and its leader. Just imagine a land under his leadership: No...

"What an incredible election it is going to be , and i can't wait any longer",  expresses a first time voter in RK Nagar. And he has further added that "we are undermining AIADMK,  it is the second big thing in Tamilnadu politics, and certainly pounce back". As we head closer and closer to the election, almost all the parties are hitting the road already, protesting , propagating,  and standing hand in hand with the people of the state,  except for Mr Vijay, who continues his politics inside the airconditioned hall with the help of his chums - Bussy Anand and Aadhav Arjuna..  We see DMK and AIADMK party leaders sweating under the scorching sun, reaching out to the people with their manisfesto, achievements, shortfalls and mission. And both the dravidian parties are not likely to give up their fight in the election, with senior leaders throwing their weights.  And only question staring at my face is that Can Mr Vijay overcome both the titans, that eat and sl...

History is likely to be repeated in Tamilnadu with BJP-AIADMK alliance is savagely  vanquished in the 2026 election. It is so unfortunate that the 2nd largest party of Tamilnadu fall prey to the deceitful, willy-nilly, wilful exploiter - BJP. Many were so engrossed to the tube, till 3 months back,  as the election was heading towards the contest between DMK-AIADMK and in no time it has turned topsy turvy.  Guess all might agree to my view that there have been a backlash in Tamilnadu , against each and every move of BJP, right from the day they took over the reins. Infact, not long ago, we gave a counterblast on Hindi imposition, Irregularities in funding to the state government,  Delimitation, Waqf, Price rise, and minorities appeasement.   And amid the outrageous act of the centre government,  and outcry of the People of Tamilnadu over the discriminatory practices and fanatical ideologies, without any contrition,   impetuously AIADMK declare...

Quite incomprehensible as to why the Tamil news media is giving so much of attention, hype and importance to BJP , when they don't even have a considerable share of votes in the state.  Most of them see it as a party , which is heavily dependent  upon the mercy of AIADMK to stay afloat, and to make them talk like a power behind the throne is an hyperbole and the way the party dictating terms to AIADMK is irksome. And In spite of being rejected continuously,  they keep on coming back in various disguise.  But we are sure that they are not going to make any differences, and only take us back to the primitive state with their hidebound ideologies. Even the BJP ruled states are not much development, as we speak the postmortem of the tragic aircrash's victims are delayed due to poor facilities in the government hospital in Ahmedabad.  In fact, Tamilnadu ia far better than Gujarat in terms of Healthcare. Sometimes, I ponder where is Mr Modi investing all our tax money...

When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it, quotes the great business tycoon, Mr Henry Ford. From the business standpoint, an aircraft should spend the maximum time in the sky, due to high parking charges, fluctuating fuel prices and to cover the expenses and enjoy a decent share of profit in India. And i have personally seen aircrafts , immediately taking off in a rush , post arrival from the destination. When such is the business expectation, i wonder if they have  time to ensuring the condition of each and every components, if not to religiously follow the checklist. And personally,  travelled many a times on Air India and also on other Airlines in India,  and there is a huge difference between AirIndia and flights like Spiceget, indigo or even Air Asia for that matter, in terms of their operations, and condition.  Even small countries are operating decent number of flights,  meeting the h...

There is already an election like mood palpable in the state of Tamilnadu,  with party leaders shuttling between places, aiming at reaching out to the wider public. The accusation of the opposition parties,  and rebutt of the ruling government is arising curiosity, and glued us all to the tube. How often we see such an excitement and readiness a year ahead to the election? And what is even more compelling is the spirit of party cadres to hustle around,  with an excitement to propagate in the interst of their partys win. Unlike the last election,  this time there has been a huge elation among the 1st time voters and youngsters, thanks to Mr Vijay, for instilling positivity and hope. Whilst DMK is all set with no noises from their alliance partners, the uncertainty is looming large in the AIADMK camp,  due to friction and gaps in their alliance.  What we are understanding from our sources is that DMK has already dispatched their party workers and senior leade...

As compare to other Airlines, Air-India maintenence standards are  very poor. Back then, I thought it had been only because of the government of India , and once it moved out of their hand,  and Tata takes over it again,  the fleet would have a facelift. But it was disappointing to see there has been no improvement in the standards, and the Tata had almost given up their interest in the airline business, when the government of india pressurized them, and they forcibly took over it again. The flight parking charges in Malaysia and Singapore bore by the government,  and they promote enthusiasm, by giving subsidiaries. And in spite of the few air crashes because of getting off the rador, their service always remained high class. They take enormous pride in remaining competive to the other countries in the Aviation sector. It is completely opposite in our country, there have been so many Airlines gone bankrupted,  due to inability to withstand the Spiking fuel charg...

The election 2026 is going to be the most interesting, and far more unique than any other election ever contested, for the distinctive flavour of contests in the race, speaking of which i see the momentum getting regained by some of the old fox. Vinveli Nayagan is duly equipped, and kick starts his election work, by mentoring scores of his party workers of Royapuram constituency at his office today, also takes cognizant of the challenges ahead of them.  By far, he has the edge over Mr Idreams Murty.  And when I spoke with few of the localities, Most of them are of the opinion that the present representive is a complete let down, and disappointment.  They charged him for being inaccessible, and displaying poor leadership qualities. And they further adds that even during the cyclone crisis, it was only through D Jayakumar we tabled our challenges, and inspite of not in power, he leveraged all the channels, and supported us in the rescue operation.  Battered roads, poor...

Air transport is the best of all services in the world and our flight crew are the smartest to overcome all the sky turbulence. Ofcourse, all the transport has it own pros and cons, and airservies are of no exception.  And in this situation,  I  could recall a scene from the movie Rain man, in which Dustin Huffman scares to step onto the aircraft, fearing a crash and Tom cruise evokes his wisdom, by running the statistics of air crash and road crash.. and my heart goes out to all the victims.. No doubt , Aircraft has its own disadvantages, in terms of altitude and combustible proneness, but it is a great innovation of mankind which should be admired, and utilized of.. Deadliest of all the crash is the 1996 charkha Dadri mid-air collision.. Just imagine an aircraft crashing head to head. But the aviation sector has evolved all these years, with so much of improvement in safety and security.  As it is parking and fuel charges are all time high, and I only wish all thes...
