Star Vijay Telecast on 11th December 2011 on the occasion of Super Star Rajnikanth‘s birth Day, was by and large up to the Class of Vijay Tv.
Star Vijay does an enormous amount of research for every one of its shows, be it a popular entertainment or a serious issue.
And they know how to make a popular mix that satisfies every segment.
The programme on Rajni on 11/12/20011 was one such.
It had nearly every thing to satisfy Rajni’s fans.
It roped in Rajni’s daughter Aiswarya Dhanush to be a Guest and had her narrate the professional and personal side of Rajini.
She did the show with aplomb.
Yet she was very diplomatic on tricky questions like the ones on Rajni’s desire to lead his Fan Club mare vigorously and the love affair of her parents.
The involvement of the Fans who had assembled in a great number had their quota s well.
Think of a woman who reported that she fell unconscious when she heard Rajni was unwell (that too when she was riding a two Wheeler) ,of a Professor who uses Rajni’s Film Dialogues, to motivate the students to translate from Tamil to English,of a middle-aged man who had his Family’s head tonsured… ..all this can not be attributed to film presence alone.
Some are Blessed with it.
The segment where Bhagyaraj spoke of Rajni(in a programme that followed ) could not hide the fact that Bhagya Raj seems to have only a grudging admiration of Rajni as reveled when he explained about the film ‘Sivappu Manithan,
The jarring note in the entire show was the narration of Rajni’s illness where the participants and the guests sounded as though there were mouthing Obituary.
This could have been handled with more sensitivity.
Amitabh as usual was crisp and his words seemed to have come from his heart while SRK did a PR job.
Normaly one can centralize on something and say this movie is on this.
But’ Engeyum Eppodum’,a Tamil movie produced by director Murugadass of’ Gazini‘ and ‘Ezham Arivu‘ fame,who carved a niche for himself in producing commercial block busters like Shankar of ‘Mudalvan,Endhiran’ fame( who also produced out standing films like ‘Veyyil‘) is a story tenderly rendered with out outrageous mix of false sentiments, yet portrays different aspects of Love at an impressionable age.
The movie, one can say. is about the effects of rash driving,middle /lower middle class approach to Love and life or about those instances of Love one can empathize with.The film is about each one of these yet all of these, such is the narration,interspersed with clean, non-jerky,non-intruding and natural flash backs.
The story is about two pairs of young lovers who in the innocence of youth undergo and do the various enjoyable moments of foolishness,suspicion,mistrust,care,dominating each other and face life on its terms.
The pair of Jai and his heroine essay so effortlessly one really sees young lovers at each other,one trying to to dominate the other by tender care bordering on shrewishness, the other meekly responding to her, all in the game of love.
The other pair involves a more than cautious approach of middle class girl suspicious of people at Chennai,falling in love with out realizing it.
This pair mirrors the characters smoothly.
The approach to the execution of the theme is so refreshing that one really winds back.
Natural and crisply dialogues lend weight to the film.
Such is the detailing of the film ,one who does not know route can follow the Bus route as explained in the film.
The reaction of a lower middle class to hype eat outs and mall culture is portrayed naturally. with out sermonizing.
Subtle prodding at the so called social activists,as in the scene when the girl falls on her own in the street when Jai is with her, a man in black shirt talks about women being ill treated,the practical approach,probably too practical to fall in love, of one of the pairs as in asking the hero to have his HIV test conducted,the poignant call of a child calling its father with out knowing its father is no more, the real life like scenes of Bus travel,Hospital all add to the quality of the film.( by the way why films boldly show Government Buses while do not show real private Bus names, as though former is responsible for all accidents?)
Songs are at best reasonable, but this kind of film does not need songs.
Yet one can not but hum and enjoy ‘Maasama’..Aaru maasama ‘ with shoulder jacking.
Is the Choreographer ‘Dhinesh’ who seem to know the knack of using one part of the body or a piece of Lungi to effectively film a song sequence?( remember ‘Aadukalam and Maina)
Lighting and photography are pleasing with out making one hunt for a torch to view the film.
Engeyum Eppodum( everywhere and alway)s-Love, separation and Death ,aptly titled.
They are comprehensible at the micro level by using the power of the level chitta,which exists on a higher level than intellect in the individual.
This is not a unique power granted to a few but is with every one.
What one needs is training.
These are grasped intutively rather than by going through the gross science of reasoning.
I might suggest reading my blog on’ Time,a non-linear theory’.
I propose writing on the present day science’s attempt to explain the dimensions then follow it up with Indian philosophy’s way of traveling/understanding these dimensions.
While giving someone a definition of the fourth dimension is relatively easy, giving someone an intuitive understanding of the fourth dimension can be quite difficult. A definition of the fourth dimension could go like this: The fourth dimension is all space that one can get to by travelling in a direction perpendicular to three-dimensional space. Whenever an uninitiated person hears this, they start pointing their finger around in the air, trying to figure out how it’s possible for such a direction to exist. Such a short explanation gives them no intuitive feeling of the fourth dimension.
In order to give you a better understanding the fourth dimension, I will begin with a method that follows a sequence of n-hypercubes that starts with the zeroth dimension and progresses up to the fourth dimension. An n-hypercube is the generalization of the cube within n dimensions, with a 3-hypercube just being the traditional cube. By seeing each n-hypercube build up from the previous one, you should have a better understanding of the final step, from the third dimension to the fourth dimension.
Step 1 – Zeroth Dimension. Imagine a point in space. It is a 0-hypercube. A point is zero dimensional because it has no width, length, or height, and is infinitely small. Every point is exactly the same and has the same measurements, because it has no dimension. Below is a picture of a point, representing the zeroth dimension.
Step 2 – First Dimension. Take the zero-dimensional point and extrude it in any direction, creating a line segment, which is a 1-hypercube. All line segments are one-dimensional because they differ in size by only one measurement, length. They all have the same width and height, which is infinitely small. If you expanded the line infinitely, it would cover one-dimensional space.
Step 3 – Second Dimension. Now take the line segment and extrude it in any direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, creating a square, which is a 2-hypercube. All squares are two dimensional because they differ with each other in size by two measurements, width and length. They all have the same height, which is infinitely small. All of the edges are the same length, and all of the angles are right angles. If you expanded the square infinitely, it would cover two-dimensional space.
Step 4 – Third Dimension. Take the non-infinite square and extrude it in a third direction, perpendicular to both of the first two directions, creating a cube, which is a 3-hypercube. All cubes are three dimensional because they differ with each other in size by all of the three measurements that we know of – width, length, and height. Just like the square, all of the edges within a single cube are the same length, and all of the angles are right angles. If you expanded the cube infinitely in all directions, it would cover three-dimensional space.
Step 5 – Fourth Dimension. Now, the final step. Take the non-infinite cube and extrude it in yet another direction perpendicular to the first three. But how can we do this? It is impossible to do within the restrictions of the third dimension (which will I refer to as realmspace in this webpage). However, within the fourth dimension (which I call tetraspace), it is possible. The shape that results from this extrusion of a cube into tetraspace is called a tesseract, which is a 4-hypercube. All tesseracts differ from other tesseracts in size by four measurements (equal to each other within a single tesseract) – width, length, height, and a fourth measurement, which I calltrength. Looking back to the previous n-dimensional cubes, they all have the same trength, which is infinitely small. Just like the cube and square, all of the edges within a single tesseract are the same length, and all of the angles are right angles. If you expanded the tesseract infinitely, it would cover four-dimensional space.
There are several ways to view the tesseract, and I will show three of them here. The first one is called an inner projection, and it is formed from a projecting the tesseract into realmspace with a perspective projection. The parts of the original tesseract that are farther away appear smaller in the inner projection. The original cube cell that existed before the extrusion into a tesseract is in gray, the paths of the vertices are in teal, and the stopping point of the extruded cube cell is in blue. The real tesseract isn’t shaped like the inner projection shown below – the inner projection is a very distorted “image” of the original tesseract. All of the edges you see in the image are actually the same length as each other, and all angles between edges are right angles.
The second way to view a tesseract isn’t actually a normal tesseract, but a parallel projection of a skewed tesseract. To make this shape, first you make a tesseract, then shift the top cube cell a short distance in a diagonal direction, parallel to realmspace. Since this shift is parallel to realmspace, it can actually be in any direction that you can point to. After the shift, you trace the shadow of the skewed tesseract’s edges. The result is a shape that has two cubes with their vertices connected together. In the orignal shape, all of the edges within the cube cells are the same length and have right angles with each other. However, they don’t have right angles with the teal connection edges, and the teal connection edges are slightly longer than the cube cells’ edges.
The third way to view a tesseract is a parallel projection into realmspace. It is the same as a skewed tesseract, but without the top cube cell shifted. Since the edges of the tesseract were extruded in a direction perpendicular to realmspace, when the shape is projected back into realmspace, the edges of the blue cube cell are projected straight back onto the gray cube cell’s edges. The resulting projection is a simple cube. This didn’t happen with the inner projection, because that projection was a perspective projection.
Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere. Borrelia is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks belonging to a few species of the genus Ixodes (“hard ticks”).Early symptoms may include fever, headache, fatigue, depression, and a characteristic circular skin rash called erythema migrans. Left untreated, later symptoms may involve the joints, heart, and central nervous system. In most cases, the infection and its symptoms are eliminated by antibiotics, especially if the illness is treated early. Delayed or inadequate treatment can lead to the more serious symptoms, which can be disabling and difficult to treat. Lyme disease is a biosafety level 2 disease.
Lyme disease is caused by bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi ( B. burgdorferi) . Blacklegged ticks carry these bacteria. The ticks pick up the bacteria when they bite mice or deer that are infected with Lyme disease. You can get the disease if you are bitten by an infected tick.
Lyme disease was first reported in the United States in the town of Old Lyme, Connecticut, in 1975. In the United States, most Lyme disease infections occur in the following areas:
Northeastern states, from Virginia to Maine
North-central states, mostly in Wisconsin and Minnesota
West Coast, particularly northern California
There are 3 stages of Lyme disease. (See below for symptoms.)
Stage 1 is called early localized Lyme disease. The infection is not yet widespread throughout the body.
Stage 2 is called early disseminated Lyme disease. The bacteria have begun to spread throughout the body.
Stage 3 is called late disseminated Lyme disease. The bacteria have spread throughout the body.
Risk factors for Lyme disease include:
Doing outside activities that increase tick exposure (for example, gardening, hunting, or hiking) in an area where Lyme disease is known to occur
Having a pet that may carry ticks home
Walking in high grasses
Important facts about tick bites and Lyme disease:
In most cases, a tick must be attached to your body for 24 – 36 hours to spread the bacteria to your blood.
Blacklegged ticks can be so small that they are almost impossible to see. Many people with Lyme disease never even saw a tick on their body.
Most people who are bitten by a tick do not get Lyme disease.
There may be a “bull’s eye” rash, a flat or slightly raised red spot at the site of the tick bite. Often there is a clear area in the center. It can be quite large and expanding in size.
Symptoms may come and go. Untreated, Lyme disease can spread to the brain, heart, and joints.
Symptoms of early disseminated Lyme disease (Stage 2) may occur weeks to months after the initial tick bite. They may include:
Paralysis or weakness in the muscles of the face
Muscle pain and pain or swelling in the knees and other large joints
Heart problems, such as skipped heartbeats (palpitations)
Symptoms of late disseminated Lyme disease (Stage 3) can occur months or years after the initial infection. The most common symptoms are muscle and joint pain. Other symptoms may include:

Now, the filmmakers behind “Revelations of the Mayans 2012 and Beyond,” who said that their film will reveal evidence of contact between the Mayans and extraterrestrials, have now released to media what they claim is photographic evidence of a pre-Mayan, alien civilization…….
And they claim they’ve got Stephen Hawking on their side .
