Neeyaa Naana

This is a talk show in Vijay TV which is telecasted on Sundays at 9 pm.


I am proud of saying that this is the only Tamizh show which I watch trying my best not to give a miss.


One should appreciate the variety in the topics and the participants’ and the anchor Mr. Gopinath’s deft way of handling the show. The topics are true to the reel and real life with some thought provoking.


It has been aired since a couple of years and there are special shows on national and public festivals.


The participants have no age barrier, no emotions barrier; you can talk your mind freely with no’ Bindaas’.

Here I would like to mention about some of the episodes which made me think.


Recently the show is crossing the red line, in the sense some of the discussion has reached beyond a limit putting the head in shame. For example one on LOVE talks about the love and the crush.A woman in mid forties [! ]declaring publicly about her unlimited love for her maternal uncle says that her children have motivated her to go and express her opinion, the husband, is he there mentally? Is it a show to reveal secrets in public, washing dirty kanjeevarams in the public?


The next one between Conservative mom Vs New age Mom. Here the mummies new and old express how they would address their husbands in private. Is it needed on a national show where everyone is watching? How they would feed their husbands, how intimate they are at home etc. Many points discussed were really worthy of and some dropped the jaw dead.


Coming to the real life, the participants have a family, neighbors and friends who might have watched this programme with enthuse. After the show those who spoke of their intimacy within the four walls, have to face these people in their daily life. How will they be looked by their circle of friends, relatives in future and what will be their feelings, opinions and views about them?


The main concern is, irrespective of age, there is no shame in expressing their intimacy in public. Some bring out their differences to the platform as if they are going to get some solution. Are they doing it out of concern or consciously?


What is making them to go ‘public’ in public? Is it for the short bubble fame? Or for the heck of taking part in a chat show?


Is it a counseling session going on?

Do they ever think what they do on the panel will haunt them in future?

Who has to draw the line, the participants or the producers?

I personally feel the producers of the show should have edited the ‘intimate narration’ parts for the sake of every one.

Emotional Atyaachar

UTV Bindaas hosts a reality show based on the two timers, here the girls who are in love with, hire the agency to spy on their lovers. The hidden camera follows at times the agency girls pose as prospective lovers and the boy in question is caught red handed!

The boy and the camera go to any length to capture masala.

The main thing is the confidence and trust the girls have on their boyfriends and it slowly and gradually vanishes as the number of clips and the flirting of girls increase!

You should see the expression on the girl’s faces, anger, frustration, depression, helplessness, mistrust and above all a big defeat of their unconditional love without expecting anything.

Sometimes the spying is carried out in the ‘n minute a very short time before the wedding.

My question is what will happen to the boy and the girl involved here, apart form the agency’s hired girls?

It is worth seeing the expression of boys caught, they are totally taken aback with the videos as a proof and they cannot deny by bringing the moon to earth. How much ever they try explaining things for their misdeed at the easy availability of girls in the net, they are shameless to justify the reason for falling into the trap of girls who volunteer to be their friends.

One thing is clear it is all for the infatuation and never serious relationship. The boys mostly in their early twenties, why are they in a hurry to get into marriage when they are not in a position to be serious and mature. After all there is no age bar for marrying any body a boy or a girl!

Reality Bites

Love your mother tongue at the same time do not hate other languages, says a news item

I fully endorse this statement. Especially people like me who were the victim of the hindi hatao slogan in TN sixties.

A majority of tamizhargal have spread all over the country mainly to the north, Hindi is spoken by all wheras in south [ TN,AP,Karnataka and Kerala ] one can manage with the Tamizh mostly all can either speak English or understand it.

On the contrary , north many do not speak English so we the Tamizhan have to know atleast to speak Hindi. If you see the India map, the southern part is narrow and its overall percentage is less in the physical map . So, naturally the hindi belt is vast inspite the states having their own language.

The so called Madrasi Hindi has become a laughing stock in movies, for them any south indian is a madrasi.

I have undergone the difficulty of speaking Hindi in the 70s coz I was one of the victims. With the reservation policy implemented, we ,brahmins, had no chance of getting a job and one has to look for greener pastures outside the state. Such be the case, if students have learnt the national language, it would have helped them in their career.

At least I 'm happy that the scenario has changed with many opting for Hindi as second language and it has helped in migrating to anywhere in the country.

But every one should make their children atleast speak their mother tongue at home and outside when with the same community like the malayalees.

See the reality the present CM who imposed the ban on Hindi, has to make his darling son swallow the humble pie. How , Mu. Ka Azhagiri has been made the cabinet minister, his oratory skill in Tamizh is well known, but will that do for him to address the parliament session?

He is like a school child avoiding attending the parliament due to his ignorance of Hindi, and partly English knowledge.

I hope Mu. Karunanidhi atleast sees this now to learn from his past mistakes.

IT is not too late , that's the reason many ministers kids have started attending CBSE , ICSE schools to gain advantage .

No More Tears on OSCAR NIGHT

What‘s happening?

Is it possible for the winners to stay away from tears? It’s their privilege to shed the tears of joy, it is not that everyday one gets the chance to receive the coveted trophy and they would have prepared a speech long time back in their mind and how can the organisers bring this rule?


No long winding speeches on the stage, they have taken the back stage. Prepare a speech thanking all and sundry but behind the curtain please!
Why this sudden ban on emotional outburst?

It is after all one’s long time victory which is going to remain for ever, imagine A.R .Rahman talking in Tamizh, behind the stage thanking all, how would the nation taken it?

Stupid rule!!
