JUN 19 – In today’s expresso, the actor Sivakumar, father of Suriya and Karthi, “fondly revels in the glory they have bestowed upon him.” And in addition, with love aglow in his orbs, he reveals some of the things he bestowed on them, as this passage cheerfully makes known in a family publication:
“Even until my children were 18 or 20 years of age, all of us used to sleep in one room, despite the fact that each of us had individual rooms. This was very helpful in the sense that their minds, through that delicate phase called adolescence, never went astray.”
Um! Does this mean what I think it means? Or does this just mean I have to run my mind through my front-loading fully-automatic?
PS: Yes, cheap shot, I know.
PPS: But it made you grin, right? I rest my case.

So whay does “family publication” mean – published by their family, by somebody’s family or suitable for family audiences (whatever that is)? 🙂

This from a guy who famously led tamils “astray” with the song “En maamen oru naal malliga poo koduthaan ….” that ends “…pudhu paaya pOttaan angey, oru vidhamaa paathaan ingey … madhi mayangi paduthukitten” ? 🙂 In any case, in a tinseltown where its leading lights were generally rumored to be epicures, he is rumored to have remained positively “old school”.

Probably explains why Karthi went off and did his MS. I know that if I had been brought up like him, I would have done anything to run away.

Ah. You’ve managed to do what Mani Ratnam couldn’t (and probably never will) – surprise us. You took that little risk that might earn you the wrath of the few but still said what you wanted to.

Bitte,Rangan. The only flip side to having this turned off is that your blog might not get traffic via other wordpress blogs
