Dineshan Writes: The cinema business of politics



Dear esteemed editor of #tv69,

I am very disappointed in your lack of coverage about the latest development in politico-cine scenario in the south of the Vindhyas. It was an extremely shameful moment for me when my wife, who watches nothing but serials in the afternoons and cinema news in the evening, told me about Rajinikanth joining the politics.

You see, I am not a big fan of Rajinikanth. His eccentricity doesn’t sit well with me. Especially since my wife made me quit cigarettes 30 years ago, but still watches Rajinikanth light up his cigarettes in “style” with her mouth wide open.

I like Kamal Hassan. Nice fellow, very handsome and clean shaven like me. But even he is also planning to join politics it seems. Very disheartening.

On further research with the assistance of Google, I came to know that even Pawan Kalyan, and Upendra are also entering politics!
These days all actors seem to want to do everything but acting. It reminded me of my grand uncle, one Mr. Swaminathan, B.A, L.L.B, M.B.B.S., where one of his dead patient’s family put a case on him in court stating gross negligence on his part. This clever fellow decided to fight the case himself and lost royally, and spent nice time in jail.

Just because that part time actor Trump became the President of the United States of America, these people have also begun to believe that they can also do the same. I think this is all because we have a bad habit of remaking everything from the west. Remake their movies. Remake their style. Remake their songs. Now remake their politics.

With that note, wishing a wider expansion of your esteemed news network,

Your well-wisher,

Dineshan

Rock you like a hurricane- Meaning and analysis (WARNING! NSFW, NSFSP)

NOTE: I had written this about a week ago, but didn't post it because I didn't think it was something that would appeal to teh general public. I still don't think it does that but I am suffering from an acute case of  "IDontGiveAFuckitis" so here it is. I don't give a fuck what you think about this, but if you are going to run to my mom and complain about what I do online just because it doesn't go down well with you it just makes you an immature and incompetent pussy. Seriously, this is the internet, get a life. The time is 2247 as I am writing this. A little sleep deprived, and a whole lot of self hatred and shame swimming about my aurashitpiss. I have a ton of writing work that needs my immediate attention, but I chose to do this. Arrogance? Dipshitness is more like it. Moving on... So I was listening to Rock you like a hurricane by Scorpions earlier this evening, while I was doing the dishes (yeah, i'm cool that way). I mean i wasn't even

The end; and a new beginning

          Before I chew your mind : This blog post is in response to my friend Harish’s vlog . He had done a “user request vlog” once, and I had suggested a topic- ‘ How did you start doing something ’(links at the end). I also promised him that I’d write a blog post on that subject if he ever did that video. He did make that video (he makes some pretty cool game play videos as well, worth checking it out if you are a gamer), and that’s why you find yourself reading this right now.             I think I had an idea of what I would write about when I gave him the topic. However, for the love of God (or Batman) I can’t seem to remember what that was. I’m making it up with this one, hope it’s ok bro :) FADE IN: Superimpose “THE END” on black background FADE OUT TO BLACK: <insert new title>           This is where I (along with a bunch of other confused mortal souls my age) have reached. A point where one movie seems to end and another begins- a double featur

Clubhouse. CoWin. China.

If you feel an odd sense of deja vu while reading this piece, then you've spent too much time switching between Facebook and Clubhouse. Unless you've been living underground or in a home with ACT broadband, you know what Clubhouse is - it is where many people can have their Mann ki Baat at once. And Facebook has turned into a platform to critique, analyse and make fun of discussions that happen on Clubouse. Congrats Clubhouse, you just replaced the Indian Government, at least as far as Facebook discourses go. Clubhouse is more or less an impulsive, live podcast session - an open space where everyone is made to feel like Joe Rogan. But no one talks about DMT or shaved gorillas or MMA or shaved gorillas doing MMA while on DMT. But it always does sound like everyone is on something stronger than the devil's lettuce. Maybe you need that to hear your own thoughts over the din of uncomprehensive ramblings and mouth-breathing noises. Speaking of noises, Saudi Arabia restricted the
