In School days all I know is that Tamilnadu means Madras and their mother tongue is Tamil. That was the only thing I know about Tamilnadu and never and never in my dreams, I thought I will be coming to Chennai to make a living.
After Studies, all my Friends shifted to Hyderabad for better oppurtunities but, I am the only guy who shifted to Chennai to learn VLSI. Ofcourse, I am not working in VLSI but in SAP that is all together a different story.
Chennai is a Metropolitan City and very well I could have managed with English but I learned Tamil only for the reason that when I look back in my Life I should have a satisfaction that "Yes I know how to speak few more languages other than my Mother Tongue".
I spend weekends mooning around the webspace, listening to advertisement Jingles, Music, watching snippets of different different movies on Youtube.
But, when I watch snippets of Rajnikanth's speech or Vijay's speech at their Movie Audio launch or Movie success meets then I feel very happy that I am able to understand their speech word to word even though I can't speak as fluently as they can. Especially, Rajni Sir's speech, I will get tears in my eyes, I will get goosebumps. It is then I feel content and happy that it is good that I learned Tamil otherwise I would have missed out what they are saying.
Rajni knows very clearly that he is not a Hero material in terms of looks but it is some magic and God's grace that he is a Super Star in the Tamil Film Industry. He is very simple and grounded.
Tamil Film Industry is the only film industry where Hero's looks doesn't matter. Example is Dhanush and Vijay Sethupathi. There is all together a different post about Dhanush that is going on in my mind since a looooong time. When I find time I will post it.
Till then enjoy Rajni Sir's speech at Vettaiyan Audio launch.
Good that I learned Tamil... :-) :-) :-)
Closing comments "Nallathu, Na Tamil Katthkute" :-) :-) :-)
