Title : Senthamizh Paattu
Actors : Prabhu, Sukanyaa, Sujaathaa, Vijayakumaar, ManjuLaa
Director : P. Vaasu
Music : MSV and ILLayaraajaa  !!

Story: The movie starts with the murder of Sujaathaa's boy-freind by the
villain over an aborted arranged marriage.  Sujaathaa is an accomplished
singer of "Naattu Paadalgal".  Young and pregnant Sujaathaa is sheltered by
Vijayakumaar and Manjulaa.  Time flies and in due course Prabhu is born to
Sujaathaa.  Because of her bitter past, Sujaathaa forbids her son to sing
or associate with girls in spite of the fact that Prabhu can sing well.
Sukanyaa is the daughter of the local MP and a student in the college where
Vijayakumaar is the principal.  Sukayaa's villain "maamaa" has designs on her
and forbids her to associate with any boy in the college.  Prabhu and Sukanyaa
meet in a minor accident in the college and fight breaks out between Prabhu
and the "maamaa's" thugs.  Sukanyaa falls for Prabhu since he beat up the
villain gang.  In the mean time Vijayakumaar's daughter also falls for Prabhu
and Sujaathaa likes the match.

Sukanyaa goes to Vijayakumaar's house for tutoring with the intention of seeing
Prabhu.  In another accident, Prabhu saves Sukanyaa from drowning and falls in
love with her since she is the first girl he ever got close to.  Then there is
the usual love-triangle story.  The MP returns from Delhi and agrees to the
marriage of Sukanyaa and Prabhu.  In the climax, Sujaathaa finds out that
the MP is the same person who killed her boy-freind.  Prabhu goes after the
MP and Sujaathaa prevents Prabhu from killing the MP.  The "maamaa" dies in
the melee.  Finally Prabhu marries Sukanyaa.

I felt that this movie was very similar to "Chinna Thambi" except the
love-triangle.  Songs are very good.

LOWER CASTES WIN
----------------
New Delhi, India 

India's Supreme Court has ruled that nearly half of the Federal
Government's jobs should be reserved for lower castes. It    
approved a decision by a former Prime Minister of India, 
Mr.V.P.Singh (whose government was toppled over the issue two
years ago [Mandal Commission] ), to extend job reservations to 
those low down the Hindu caste system. - Reuter

 Not true. X das Y das Vaishnava college I believe is 
Gujarati Jain/Marwari institution. Definitely not
tamil/telugu brahmin institution. If you had mentioned 
Vivekananda, it is a different story.  :-)

[Just joking. I don't think Vivekananda has any special 
quota other than the government mandated.]

Raghavan, V.

PS: The main gripe in this Brahmin bashing thread seems to be
that brahmin students are disproportionately over-represented in
engineering and other professional colleges. 

In any school classroom, children do well whenever their parents
stress the importance of good education, whichever community they 
come from. I remember the students who did bad in my class were all
from families where they had decided what they will be doing in life
even at the age of 10 or less (taking care of family business). 
This included not only Hindus from all different communities but
Christians and Muslims as well.

I see the great logic. In those days a king quite a few wives. Now, one
of these wive's son/daughter marries someone. Then he/she has a child.
But, the child grew up as a Tamil and one day became a king. Dynasties.
Inter-marriages. All common things. It's like saying the current

     Ya, but he agreed to the hanging of Bhagavat Singh (evidence has been 
published in books in the form of letters between the British and Gandhi).  May
be he is a Swadeshi criminal (according to Gandhi) and He wanted everything to 
be done with with Sawdeshi ?  

   
      Wait a minute, dont conclude that I am
criticizing the concept of Swadeshi or gandhi as a people's leader.  I respect
him for his understanding of village economy, sarvodaya, kram Swarajya as I
read from the collection of his writings in these aspects.  But jsut praising 
him like a God is simply untrue.  He was a politician too.

No, they are busy firing at 100 rounds per minute(another way of

Sometimes, the machine on the other side on the other side just cannot

I'm directing my anger only at the 'scoundrels, parties and leaders.'
And those who cling on to it like idols. I have no hostile feelings or
anything of that nature towards the commoners in India. If Eelam is
motherland then my fatherland is Tamil Nadu. And I bet my real concerns
on Tamil Nadu or the rest of the people from other states(all of whom have
many scoundrles lying above raping the land) have an unduly effect in
my harhness towards the 'system' in India. I after all, grew up admiring
India. I only knew about the great struggle for indipendece, Indira Gandhi and
MGR. And the sweets, Kanchipuram sarees, artists, sculpturers, musicians, movies....the list goes on. But, I was aware in a small way even then the corruptness
of many of the 'leaders.' So, I'm sorry if I have offended you. In addition to
newpapers, journals and magazines my friends from India have added in a
meaningful way to understanding the problems India faces. My conclusion is
that most of the problems started with and continuing now due to totally
unprincipled 'leaders.' Narasinhma Rao seems an honest man. But, look at
some of his own ministers. The biggest crooks in India are politics.

NY Times said it best. ...'more than 90 percent of politicians in India are
not for power or altruism, but for money.'

And these 'leaders' want to prosecute the Tigers? Ha....ha.. They all can learn
the meaning of the word 'priciples' first.

	There were few personal mails from SCTamil readers inquiring
about the October 01 issue of the Thuglak.

* The cover says Kamaraj memorial day with a cartoon.  M Karunanidhi
  and Jayalalitha are in a pool(of corruption) and mutually throwing
  mud using  buckets (complain and inquiry  respectively).  From the 
  sky Kamaraj says, "Do you understand now!  Both (maddai) have been
  soaked (ooRina) in the same pool (kuddai).

* There is a report on  DMK's 'mupperu vizha'.  The  tone of the DMK
  slogans (vulger) in the procession, stage  speaches, and the power
  struggle between MK's son Stalin and V Gopalsami have been covered.

* The conference  sponsored by Dr Ramdoss's PMK, a postmortem report, 
  takes three pages.  The pro-LTTE  slogans and  banners in the pro-
  cession, anti-natinal tone, inconsistent views of the speakers, VP
  Singh's presence in the meeting etc are in.

* There is an analysis to conclude that CM Jayalalitha cancelled her  
  proposed  trip to US because of the  fear about  the 'security' of 
  her CM post.

* Part 2 of Moopanar's interview, troubles between Moopanar faction
  and Ramamuthry  faction, increasing voice of  Moopanar faction in
  Tamil Nadu Assembly etc take few pages.

* Jayalalitha, VP Singh and S Ramachandran are the  main targets in
  the "kELvi pathil".

There is a saying "Bring home the bacon." In a similar way, the small aspect of
the war should be brought to Colombo. So, the paper-pushing ministers,
crazy chauvinistic-monks and generally the cushy urban-elite 'gets the
message.' Being far away from the 'Situation' the urban elite doesn't
give a damn about whether 10 or 100 people die in the Northeast. And
they want trade-fairs? 

Evantually most Tamils in Colombo have to leave. This  will happen when
the Sinhalase in Colombo begin to feel threatened(according to what what
I'm getting, security forces guarding Colombo are begining to get little
'jumpy'). Prabakaran's birthday is on November 26th. Maybe, a
'spectacular' fireworks' can be put up in Colombo to celebrate his
birthday?  Maybe a little 'firefight' to shake things up for the nuts in
the Parliament? I can hear the drum beat closing in.....
