Snippet 3

Once a rich,city-bred man saw a person in humble clothes, sitting outside a shrine,silently for long.


At the end of an hour , a monk from within the shrine served food to the person.


The man was intrigued by these happenings.He believed that everyone should be worth the food he eats.
He could contain himself no more.
Quick to react, he asked the monk ,"Does this person outside do any work at the shrine?"


"No",said the monk.


The man became angry."Then why do you feed him free of cost.You must be stupid to do so."


The monk listened to him patiently and said, "Watch the person till nightfall and tell me what you feel?"


So,the man positioned himself at a distance from that person and watched him till nightfall.
During the day,he tried to talk to the person but,received no reply.


The man was infuriated."I am such a big man in society.There are hundreds of people waiting for my appointment. No-one dares to ignore me.Either you must be out of your mind or-else you must be deaf and dumb."saying so, he went back to his post and continued watching the person.


The monk at the shrine,who had been noticing all this,summoned the man and asked him,"What do you think of the person outside the shrine now?"


"I still feel he is a total waste and such lazy people should not be encouraged",said the man.

'Silence is golden'

Now, the monk said,"He is the chief priest of the shrine.
He teaches people about the importance of silence.


I have been watching your activities from the morning.You have called me a 'stupid'.
You have called our teacher  'a total waste',lazy man','mad man' and what not.


All this harsh and impulsive behavior has earned you no goodness or peace.
So, follow the path of silence whenever you can and you will be closer to God everyday.


Realizing his folly, he asked for forgiveness from the monk and the chief priest and set out on his way.


He was a changed man now.


All his ego had melted away and he decided to talk only when it is absolutely necessary.

'Singam'tamil movie:my review

Singam is a perfect masala mix movie.

This being the 25th movie for the hero surya,it will give him more of a mass appeal.

Anushka is very beautiful ,but quite a bit taller than the hero.they have tried to cover up this oddity by using different angles of the camera, but it is still evident whenever the pair stand beside each other.

Manorama 'aachi' has been given very few scenes.she could have been used in a much better manner.even with such a short appearance she makes a mark.

So is the case for Radharavi too.

The only other person who has a bit of scope in the movie apart from the hero ,is the villian Prakashraj.
Both the hero and the villian have a challenge as to who will shout louder.

The songs are good and melodious.The locations are pleasant and captured on camera beautifully.

How can I forget Mr.Yerimalai?
The background music for the comedian was a good idea.Vivek has gone along with the movie and has not tried to improvise like his usual self.
He looks a bit older and out of shape.
But, his face expressions and witty talks do leave a smile on our face.

Why is it that movie after movie the main theme is violence?
Half the time we see someone threatening another .

It is a good change not to see obscenity or filthy language on screen.

Now, the limelight has fallen on tamil artists and movies.the whole world is sitting up and watching.
At this point, I feel we should give more creative and varied movies especially by leading heroes .

I hope that tamil movie fans will choose good and creative movies to take tamil cinema to the next level.
