The Finale of Vijay TV Super Singer was conducted in the usual Stay Vijay style with pomp and show on 1 Feb,2014.
The winner is,
Diwakar.
Second and third places went to Syed Subhan and Sarath Santosh respectively.
Sonia and Parvati were the fourth and fifth runners-up.
Diwakar proved that he is an entertainer by choosing songs that connected the audience to a jolly mood, the first song being ‘Arabic kadaloram.
The second, ever popular, difficult to sing, Neeye Uunakku Endrum Nekaraanavan, from Bale Pandiya and he sang this with gutso with the TMS fluctuations and Bhava, with MR Radha‘ antic Jatis.
Syed sang emotionally but chose some emotional song, the first one Eelm Tamil’s agony, though it was excellent rendering did not connect as the ethos was, to be honest, alien to the audience.
Santosh also made the mistake of choosing such songs, though he sung well, that did not sway emotions to turn into votes.
Vijay TV Tamil,Star Vijay, their programmes in general are quite entertaining.whether it it the Lollu Sabha,Comedy Shows, Adhu,Idhu Eduthu , Neeya Naana or Super Singer series, where they select the best singing Talent in Tamil.
Vijay TV Super Singer 4
Some observations.
As a marketing man what struck me the most is the way the marketing team milks the Programme, whether it is the Talk Show Neeya Naana, or Super Singer.
Normally many channels would be content with ads and sponsorships.
Star Vijay ropes in appropriate people for the shows, whether it be a Sivamani on Drums,Nithyasree ,Chitra,Vairamuthu knowing the poular person at tht particular point of time.
They seem to cover every segment of the consumers.
What is pleasing is the way they are done, unobtrusively.
Vijay TV is clear, it is in for Business and for entertainment as a means of earning.
But this is one subtly.
What is heartening is the fact that a good purpose is served as a byproduct as in bringing in social awareness through Neeya Naaana and good talent is unearthed in Super singer.
Today, February4,2014, Super Singer 4 is Live for selecting the winner of Super Singer 4.
So It is Not rape if you Rape a woman who is drunk!
Drunk Woman
”
The incident took place in the 46-year-old man’s in November 2013 when the two returned to the man’s apartment after having dinner together at a restaurant inGothenburg.
The 21-year-old woman told the court the last thing she remembers from the evening is falling asleep in the man’s apartment with her clothes on before waking up the following afternoon to find herself locked in a room.
In its decision, the Gothenburg District Court ruled there was no doubt the woman was intoxicated, noting that she was so drunk she “fell to the ground and lay there awhile”, the Metro newspaper reported.
Tests later revealed the woman’s blood alcohol-level was between 2.0 and 2.5 per mille, more than ten times the legal limit in Sweden, putting her in what the court called a “particularly vulnerable situation”.
Reform’s to Sweden’s sex-crime legislation implemented in July 2013 redefined the term “incapacitated state” to “particularly vulnerable situation”, which in effect re-classifies certain types of sexual assault as rape.The reforms were meant to apply to cases where a victim responds to a sexual assault by remaining passive, allowing them to be treated as rape.
But the man told the court that he didn’t realize the woman was drunk when they were back at his flat, adding that during intercourse she was “active” and “made certain noises”.
In acquitting the man of the rape charges, the court ruled it had not been proven that the man “understood or was aware that” the woman was drunk nor that he knowingly acted against the woman’s wishes.”
Those who are successful need not be happy and the Happy need not be successful.
Success is measured by the others or our conception of what others consider us to be a Success.
We think we are happy with success because we hear people talking about our ‘Success”
But not all say you are successful in an endeavor, profession.
Some deride because of it if not brushing it aside.
One feels Happy when one hears talk about one’s success and becomes depressed when some one ignores it .
And we set ourselves a Goal in Life, in the present days,at success in what is being perceived by the others as Success.
If some group says you are a Success when you get a five figure Income, own a house, Beautiful wife, become CEO of a Company, Star or a Public personality.
Till some one comes out with another formula.
All these are subject to change as perceptions of people starts changing on things and issues.
There used to be a time in India, that getting B.Com Degree, secure a Bank employment you are a success.
Then came MBA.
Now it is B.E. in Computers and an IT Job.
You were a success if you ha a two-wheeler.
Now a Car!
As values change s is your success target.
And our own definition of Success changes from one point if time to another.
As against t this, Happiness does not require the others.
Look at a toddler.
Its smile of Happiness captivates you, so natural
Why?
Because a Child knows to be Happy with itself.
You set it for your self.
Once set, it does not generally change.
Here your happiness does not get affected or change because of the changing perception of you by the others.
I have remarked elsewhere in my posts about some of my relatives getting married to North Indian Girls.
This post is about how compatibles the families were and after before the marriage .
Tying Managl Sutra Thaali, South Marraige
A look into the actual apprehensions , misapprehensions as well.
One boy got married to a Kashmiri Girl and another a Punjabi.
Lest people may think I am generalizing about all the communities, Let me say that both the girls were Brahmins.
Different perspective may be required for opinions on marrying a North Indian and from another community.
Under this category , I have a cousin of mine who got married to a girl from Bengal from another community and the marriage is not what it should be.
However in the present cases there were identical initial objections that normally come in the case of Love marriages that arise even while marrying within the Community.
In the case of marrying to a North Indian the major objection from South Indians is that North Indian Brahmin Culture is different, they are too easy going to adapt to South Indian family vales, they spend too much, and they take unnecessary risks in Life and career.
All the problems were present in the marriages I have mentioned.
And another observation from the South is that the Girl’s side may not agree to South Indian Style of marriage and this the South considers as a sacrilege.
Whatever be the divide between the North and the South , they are united in this objection!
( Let me add, many will consider me as a heretic, that by looking at some of the South Indian marriages being conducted, I feel that it is better to have a registered marriage, for to such level marriage as religious ceremony has descended to with everything being done at the convenience of the people and for Pomp)
The major difference between the North and South Indian marriages are the performance of Marriage in the evening and the non use of Thaali in many North Indian marriages.
The North Indian marriage has Kanyadhaan, Panigrahan and Sapthapathi.
Technically this is the correct Vedic marriage procedure.
Thaali is a concept taken by Aapasthamba, while composing the Aapasthamba Sutra for people living south of the Vindhyas.
Please read my post on this.
So the objection on these grounds seem to be trivial.
Another difficulty faced by the Boys’ parents is that they are used to demanding money from the Bride’s side during the Marriage while in the North Indian marriages(at least in Punjabi and Kashmiri at least) the Boys’ parents are made to shell out for the bride in the form of more jewellery and gifts to her relatives.
But once these initial hiccups are over, the parents of both he children have become very close and each tries to accommodate the other!
The level of looking after the guests is some thing seen to be believed.
And , irrespective of family misunderstandings, (which family does not have), the relatives rally around and take a personal interest, not delegating things to Agencies, even though they have arranged things through the Agencies.
And I have found the girls, though they are very well employed and hail from well to do families, to be very respectful, easy-going and at ease with the new-found relatives.
Though I am not related to these boys closely they often call me up for no specific reason but to chat and enquire about my family and they in general are good.
But this depends on how one interacts with them.
If you keep to your own without interfering into their affairs, which we have no business to, and offer advice when sought for, every thing is fine.
Other wise, things might go awry as with modern girls
.Considering some case of married South Indian Girls, the North seems to better.
Do not take cudgels for this view as this is my experience and my conviction is that a North Indian Girl would do nicely for a South Indian Boy.
The other sides, that of the North Indian Girl’s point of view and the experience of a South Indian Girl marrying to a North Indian Boy, I do not know.
