பிடிக்கவேண்டும்.
'பிடிப்புவேண்டும் என்பதால்' என்பது முன்பொருகாலத்தில் சாமான்யக்காரணமாகத் தோன்றியொருக்கிறது. சாமான்யம் என்பதை தவிர்க்கவேண்டியதாக நினைத்த காலம் அது. இன்றும் அதை தவிர்க்கவியலதாது என்று சொல்லத்தோன்றவில்லை. தவிர்க்கத் தோன்றவில்லை என்றே சொலகிறேன். சாமான்யத்திலிருந்து ஏதோ விலகிவிட்டதைப் போல, ஒரு வித முனைப்புடன் அதனை எய்துகிறேன்.

Happy New Year World

    இதைப் படிக்கையில் ஏனோ இந்த வரி ஞாபகத்துக்கு வந்தது...

    By trying to prove the impossibility of complete self-expression, one is only trying to complete it.

Background For long, KamalHaasan’s classic Thevar Magan has been subjected to criticism that it was insufficiently aware of how the film - despite its patronising and pontifical tone - would be received with a warm glow of pride by the Thevars. Indeed, there is no contesting that ‘potri paadadi ponne’ - a Thevar paen - has come to become a peerless anthem of sorts.  While the extent of ‘out-of-context’ celebration may have been surprising, one cannot lose sight of the fact that song itself realised a specific purpose within and for the film first: within the film’s narrative and for, one reasonably assumes, the film's commercial prospects then. To imbue the makers in the business of mainstream films with virtues of thorough naivete is unnecessary. That said, over the years, the criticism has gradually escalated to the absurd heights of accusing him of gross social irresponsibility for not anticipating everything that the song has come to stand for. This type of reductive engagemen

Akeel Bilgrami             Akeel Bilgrami, in his recent essay  attempting to unpack Gandhi's views on caste, frames the approach as one grounded in a view of the pre-modern, pre-capitalist society as distinctly different from viewing the members of society as merely constituents of an economy. This, he argues  is the key to understanding the evolution of Gandhi's stance on caste.             This instructive essay is, in some ways, an elaboration of his  interview to Frontline in 2018 , where he mused on the tension inherent in the slogan:   Liberté, égalité and fraternité, and the points at which the Marxian and Gandhian outlook towards this tension,  overlap and distinctly depart from one another.              The crux of Gandhi's conundrum that folks across the political spectrum can relate to is what Bilgrami succinctly states thus: to retain caste was to resist the market ideal that undermined traditional social relations by setting up the freely saleable labour of at

A few days back I managed to catch Thevar Magan and, as is my wont whenever I watch it, started raving about it. This time I also managed to have a conversation about it with @kalyanasc on twitter. Following the principle of 'Have Blog. Will Archive", I thought I'd post it here. Oh, the things I do for posterity! @ dagalti How much credit would like to give the late Bharathan? It is also beautifully photographed, especially Gowthami #ThevarMagan — Kalyan Raman (@kalyanasc) June 10, 2012 @ kalyansc I know nothing of Bharathan's works actually.I don't think his only other Tamil film (Avarampoo, (cont) tl.gd/hpiuov — dagalti (@dagalti) June 10, 2012 Credit Sharing - local-flavour I know nothing of Bharathan's works actually.I don't think his only other Tamil film (Avarampoo, which is a remake of his Malayalam film based on Padmarajan's script) reflective all the nice things I hear about him.
