I just realised, these days I hardly watch any television. I realised that when I sat down to watch Kamal Hassan's celebration of 50 years in the world of cinema. Radhika Sarathkumar was on stage when I started watching it. For some reason I thought she was totally sucking up to Kamal Hassan. I mean he's one of the greatest actors but I guess even he was praying that she stop praising him. She went on and on about how he behaved on the sets and how he was with his heroines. And I was also wondering why Sarath Kumar was on the stage with Kamal, Mamooty, Mohan Lal and Venkatesh. I mean did he actually think he was in the same class as them??!
Chamathu, anyone?
I never stick to my words. So here it goes: The Tamilian people can be classified into different categories. This classification is based on their character, virtues, educational qualification, skin colour, length of hair, size of nose...ok you now get the drift. I am only going to talk about one category at a time. Today is the one which people are scared of falling into, it is called the 'Chamathu' category. As you age, you might like being classified as 'Chamathu', but as a kid, it is a dreaded category. Ok now let me explain what 'Chamathu' is. Lets start with the guy, because I am a woman and would love to give the first chance to men :p A Chamathu guy is one who oils his hair regularly, recites his slokas at appropriate points of time during the day, makes earnest conversations with 80 year old thathas who spit more than they talk, goes to the temple regularly [Note: going to the temple everyday would make him a 'pazham*'], does not talk to girls u

Sarath Kumar - Isn't he good in sentimental/emotional roles? Or have I seen too few movies of his to know that? :D
