“Shivaji” Ganesan – The Legend

“Shivaji” Ganesan is one of my favourite actors of all times. He has done versatile roles in his career and has received accolades for almost all of them. He had the greatest talent of slipping into any kind of role with ease. He also had an amazing sense of dialogue delivery, which was very evident right from his first movie. Recently, the Tamilnadu government unveiled his statue to honor his contribution to the film industry. The least I could do to honor such a legend is to dedicate a post to him and list out my favourite 10 movies from among the ones he acted in. Here they are:

10. Gauravam

9. Navarathiri

8. Vasantha Maligai

7. Thiruvilayadal

6. Parasakthi

5. Pasa Malar

4. Thillana Mohanambal

3. Devar Magan

2. Mudhal Mariyadhai

1. Karnan

Never Again plz GOD

Today, Mumbai witnessed the same plight as London did about the same time last year.

Series of blasts, many bodies of civilians scattered in the pool of blood, hundreds of innocent people hurt, thousands of near & dear ones across the world worried, analysts debating on who were responsible, Leaders from every country condemning it, a few days of mourning…

Nothing changed. Neither has my prayer. Let’s hope my prayers are answered atleast this time. I sincerely hope!

A trip to the WEST

During the July 4^th weekend, I went on my first trip to the West Coast – San Francisco. It was a beautiful city. The weather was just amazing. I visited all the usual tourist spots in San Francisco city like Golden Gate, Fisherman’s wharf, Crooked Street and of course our “Saravana Bhavan” too. (How could I miss that? ;) Yummy!). I also went to Yosemite National Park. It was a wonderful place. The drive from San Francisco to there was breathtaking. On the whole, I had a good time with my friends. Here are few pictures:
