Namesake-My name is Karthi(K)

Namesake –My name is Karthi(K)

 
 




It is very clear now. There is a drought in the scriptwriter / director’s creative cells.

No. I don’t mean that their creative ideas are drained.

Guess, What I am pointing here ?. May be Title suggests you something.



This is not about the name of the film. It is about the name of the lead character / Hero / protagonist in our Tamil movies.



Confused .Ok. See the list of the Tamil films. You may find one aspect common to all the films.



1. Alaipauthey

2. Peralagan

3. Sarvam

4. Nepali

5. Mozhi

6. Vinnai thandi varuvaya

7. Theeratha vilayattu pillai



I may missed some other titles also..

What is common? Karthik is the answer.

The character name of the lead actor in these films is Karthik.

And now there is a hindi film featuring Farahan Akthar and Deepika ‘Kartik calling Kartik’.





Earlier the hit names are Shiva ,Jeeva .Now its ‘Karthik’s ‘turn.



Think if Vijayakanth’s or Rajini’s name is karthik in their upcoming films. You may burst into laughter.

What is the reason behind the current surge of karthik in Tamil films. I wondering that the director may feel this name ‘Karthik’ has a youth appeal.



I never want to be called as Karthik..While in school ,they called me Karthika and in college ,they purposefully called ‘petchi’ .



In home , I am Karthi.

Cricket & Hockey



Cricket & Hockey


Kab nothing to write....




Politics and Cinema are always in the media glare so as Cricket and Hockey. Whether the plight of Indian hockey or K.P.G.S.Gill monarchy or Jothi Kumaran’s greedy or IPL’s grand gala or From Ravi Shastri toYuvraj Singh’ affairs ( Ravi shastri had a series of affairs

including Gabarella sapatini –the german tennis player and Amrita singh -saif ali

khan’s x-wife), they are getting wide attention any time.


I remember the evening, when India lost to Pakistan in the 1990 Asiad Games Final ,

I was in my 5th standardthen, we including my class teacher were almost in

crying mood. That was the first and last Hockey match , I have ever seen.


But Cricket was my favourite at the time. While unplugging my memory cells,I

remember the semifinal between India and England during the 1987 world cup was the first one.Captain Vensergar’s Duck, Srikanth’s foolish left hand play were still in memory .


What is the reason behind this flash back built up?. Recently , I had a chance to watch two

sports centered films.


In both the films, the coach’s role was emphasized. In one, a semi biography ,semi fictional , the coach wanted toprove his innocence not only his hockey fraternity and also to the entire country .


The other film,about a rural boy’s cricket ambitions. Set in a complete rural milieu,

The film tells the success story of a village deaf and dumb school drop out teenager .


In the hockey film has more of characters from the haryanvi chori to Punjabi kudi,the jhargand ,Manipur girls , the chandigarh gal…etc.The relations between them, seniors behaviour’s , the true nature of Hockey association are the key to the script .I think Organsing and shooting a filmi sport event is the herculenan task.The matches ,played in the film were looking real.The final penalty corners, and the tactics of coach ,were really scripted well.


Cricket film, not entirely dealt with the sport. It alos depicts , the rural muslim family’s day to day life.The sister role , the wonderful relationship with her brother and her role as a translator , her flying kiss , the Mother’s supportive , their reassembling when the father came back from his work everything was naturally filmed.The always drunken ,the former national player’s self realization by becoming a coach , the politics of state cricket and the warm music were the highlights.


I wondered after watching these two films , why the cricket film was not celebrated as like the Hockey. Both don’t have any pole dance, karan johar type sherwani custome dramaand most importantly ,they are not tearjerkers.But they give a different experience .


May be you got it right. They are ‘Iqbal’ and ‘Chak de India’.



For me, Iqbal is the best .Watch Iqbal, if you have not heard about before.

The temple


The temple


The Upanishadic vision of India sees the material world as Maya or Mithya, an illusion experienced by our limited perception. The High purpose of life and of art is to lift the veils of this illusion and see the Eternal, that which is beyond the forms of the world.

The simplest forms that were made, such as the stupa and the Siva linga, were placed in the heart of the sacred place. These take us closest to the truth of the formless eternal. In their simplicity, they remind us that all that there is divine.

The inner sanctum of the temple is where we come to meditate upon the Truth, to recognize the divinity that is all around and within us. Here, in the garbha-griha, the womb-home, we are to be born again in knowledge .We come past the temple wall, through the halls, to this place where we may experience the truth and be transformed.

The Indian temple is conceived as a place for the self-transformation of the devotee. It is a place where the noise and confusion of the material world are left behind, where, in the sanctified silence, one may gain the knowledge of the oneness of all creation.

In the womb the devotee transforms himself through the act of looking upon the image of the divinity .The sight of the divine lifts our spirit and creates peace and joy, taking us on the path towards realization. The acquiring of grace by looking upon the deity is known as darshan and is common to all Indian faiths.

Through its buildings, ground plan, wall structure and tower, the temple express the expansion of the deity from the centre to every direction of the world.

The temple represents an entire vision of the cosmos or space or world .Each part makes its own statement. The temple is really like a vast sculpture in which all the parts are releated.When we look upon the images we are transformed for a moment .In the act of seeing, there is an acquiring of grace, which awakens the divinity in each of us.

The Temple business







The Temple business



I frequently visit nearby temples whenever more time to kill. Though prayers to the deity are main agenda, I look after the premises of the temple most of the time.

One day, I have gone to a newly constructed temple and observed the things closely. The temple entrance was flooded by people as it was an auspicious day. I looked around the temple .There are flower shops and other related shops for pooja. The shops are doing brisk business. People are bargaining hardly for a better price. It just reminds me a vegetable market.

Inside the temple, a marriage was going on at the mandapam.The mandapam is in the corner side of the temple, which is for marriage, ear piercing, nose piercing and for the related family functions. Some people, who were watching the temple, comment the bride’s jewels and her.

A billboard is hanging in one of the pillars. It announces that yoga classes are being conducted every weekend with fee in the temple.

People in a particular uniform with name card in their shirts regulate the crowd. They are in the payroll of the temple.


The other corner of the temple is having a book shop, a prasadam depot and some other shops meant for poojas.Besides this, special dharsan counter, booking offices also there.
Here also shops were doing good business. Crowd and noise everywhere.

I am thinking about the modern-day, new era temples.

It is like a factory. An industry. A commercial place. People are coming, praying, get entertained, attending functions, doing shopping, boys seeing girls ,a spot for “ Bridegroom looks the bride without knowing the girl “( Ponnu parkum padalam), attending marriages and so on and finally a business transaction is running in undercurrent.

Peaceful temples, where we can find tranquility, get direct connection between god and us will be a day dream in future.


A temple in the outskirts of the city or town having a rare presiding deity with amble space, just like a mall, having car parking area is a golden fortune.

Don’t get surprised, one day NRI’s will leave their jobs and set to start a temple business and will run the temple like a family business.

The day will come, when big corporate will announce the business plan for their newly acquired temples.

From the family of staunch believer of god, I am now becoming a rationalist.
