Sivaji the BOSS

Nadigar Thilagam

I had the privilege of seeing this great Actor at work when he came to Udupi during the mid 70s ( when my Dad was posted there at that time) for the shooting of his Tamil Film "Thyagam" which was a remake of Amanush. He had to enact a scene in which one of the characters died. He was heartily laughing a few seconds before the take and the change of expression on seeing a dead body was really awesome.Unfortunately this scene was cut in the movie!!

Today's topic is Sivaji Ganesan.

Sivaji Ganesan, towards his final days, was asked about his plans, and this is what he had to say:
"Plans are for businessmen. I am an actor. I will always remain an actor. What was my ambition when I started of is the same now. I still want to be a good actor!"

Thanks to Prabha for suggesting today's topic.

A Bright Ray in Dark..

Dark night

“The world rests in the night. Trees, mountains, fields, and faces are released from the prison of shape and the burden of exposure. Each thing creeps back into its own nature within the shelter of the dark. Darkness is the ancient womb. Nighttime is womb- time. Our souls come out to play. The darkness absolves everything; the struggle for identity and impression falls away. We rest in the night.”
― John O'Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom
