நெருக்கம்

-


அன்று இரவு ப்ரூஸ் என்னோடுதான் இருந்தான். ஓரமாக படுத்திருந்தான். மரியைதாக சொல்லவும் சொன்னான். "அன்று அத்தனை நெருக்கமாக இருந்தபோது கூட உன்னிடமுள்ள மரியாதை உணர்ச்சி போகவில்லை எனக்கு. வினோதமாக இருக்கிறது"

"அது ஸ்ட்ராட்ஃபோர்டின் மகிமை. நாடகத்தில் ஒஃபீலியா வேஷம் போட்டால், நிஜத்தில் செத்துப்போய் விட முடியாது"

"உனக்கு கேலி செய்வதே இரண்டாவது இயல்பாகி விட்டது" என்று மல்லாந்து உத்தரத்தைப் பார்த்துக் கொண்டே சொன்னான் அவன்.

And I have done rather well, haven't I ?" On the other hand, Oscar Wilde most famously said " I put my genius into my life I put only my talent into my works ". Two contrasting schools. But what happens when the artist in question is genius personified ? If the previous paragraph sounded sophomoric, well you guessed right. It was the gist of the opening paragraph of a piece I tried writing when in college, titled : " Of Wayne, Goundamani and Wilde ". The intended recipient was "The Hindu" of indhula-sandhula fame. The paper had published an article the previous week hailing a then hot comedian which was a tad too effusive in praise for my taste. So I had set about trying to right wrongs.Of course, the article with the rejection slip came back home before I was even back from...

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. Moreover, I am very partial to writers. Par...
