KC Shekar Sir,

Really appreciate your efforts on NT Memorial. Don’t know when will dream come true. Hope NT Memorial will built soon.

In neighboring state Karnataka, (where I am kuppai koti kondirukeno) the State Govt. is inaguarating Dr.Raj Memorial on next month Nov 9 and for Vishnu the state Govt. cleared the project and enhanced the funds to double to build Vishnu Memorial. The state gov. itself provide 11 crores on this memorial.

But at the present situation prevail in TN, don't think NT memorial will come soon. Once again, repeat, Tamizannku ethiri tamizane. All are for vote and vote banking.

NT – If you have next birth, please don’t born in TN.

Everyone must prey to god if at all any birth to NT he should born in Karnataka where actors are treated by the

people as the gift from the almighty to them. Here, everyone are Gnana suniyam where no recognition for the

right person but those who indulge in Jalra will get the limelight.

Dear sir,

Till such time Tamilnadu is ruled by Kazhagams, NT will not get a memorial. Also, till such time the Office Bearers are ruling party's JALRAs, they will ensure it does not arise.

CONGRESS is WORST than both the Kazhagams. Atleast Kazhagams may have 1% leniency. BARING NEHRU, MRS.GANDHI & KAMARAJ, ALL CONGRESS POLITICIANS ARE BORN FRAUDS...! HOW CAN WE EXPECT WHEN WE HAVE GUYS LIKE GNANADESIKAN, DANUSHKODI ETC.,?

FIRST OF ALL WE SHOULD IGNORE CONGRESS GUYS IN INVITING FOR OUR FUNCTIONS ! THEY ARE UNGRATEFUL EVEN TO THEIR ANCESTORS !!!

When it comes to both Kazhagams are interested in swindling Public Money - They dont care about the rest. Atleast, the memorial will come up if they are convinced that huge money can be lapped up.

Tamilnadu people will never appreciate true talents. People here are used to selling themselves for few rupees.

Most of those category are cowards, do not have self confidence and always expect Charity to their full satisfaction. Such people are ready to beg but not ready to live on self respect !

Regards
RKS

Potpourri of titbits about cinema - Kaviyarasu Kannadasan

Kaviyarasu Kannadasan, Potpourri of titbits about Tamil cinema, kalyanamalai tamil weekly magazine

‘Kavignar’ Kannadasan, the great lyricist, is still remembered for his embellished language. “I am permanent, I’ll remain forever” – these are the words of the legend lyricist that are remembered even today, thanks to his ever-green lyrics. I feel proud that I was a contemporary, who have lived during his time.

Kannadasan was born on 24-6-1927 to the couple Saththappa Chettiar – Visalakshi as their eighth child. His given name was Muthiah. He changed his name to Kannadasan when he started writing poetry. Born in Sirukudalpatti, a hamlet in Tirupatur in Ramanathapuram district, Kannadasan was given in adoption to Pazhaniyappa Chettiar – Sikappi Achi couple, belonging to Muthupattinam. He was put in Gurukulam Higher Secondary School in Amaravathiputhur near Karaikudi. But his education was discontinued with 8th Std., as they couldn’t afford further education. But Kannadasan took great efforts at developing his skills and improving his knowledge. Thanks to his efforts, he joined as the editor of ‘Thirumagal’, a magazine published from Pudukottai, at his young age of 17.

His poems were published in that magazine. And, he became the editor of ‘Thirai oli’ in the year 1945 to become the editor of ‘Chandamarutham’, a magazine, published by Modern Theatres in 1947. He joined the story department of the company also. He got the opportunity to befriend many VIPs of the cinema industry through this position. In his later years, he started a magazine of his own, named ‘Thendral’. He resigned from ‘Chandamarutham’ with the aim of becoming a lyricist and met the concerned people in Jupiter Pictures, Coimbatore. At that time, the film ‘Kanniyin kaadhali’ was in the making. K. Ramnath was directing the film. Kannadasan wrote some songs and got introduced to the direction by Venkatasamy, the husband of actress U. R. Jeevarathnam. His lyrics were approved. His song ‘kalangaathiru maname …’ was sung for heroine Madhuridevi by playback singer T. V. Rathnam. Kannadasan’s first song itself became a hit. And, he started writing dialogues also for movies. In the meantime, he plunged into politics too. And, subsequently, he became a film producer too. His first production was ‘Maalaiyitta mangai’. Manorama, who was a stage artiste at that time, was introduced to cinema through this film.

Kannadasan is a great accomplisher, having written more than 10,000 songs! Apart from film songs, he has written devotional songs, poems, articles, short stories, novels, biographies etc., totaling around 5,000.

In the 1977, we had arranged for a discourse by Kannadasan on ‘Arththamulla Indhumadham’ and ‘Bhagavatgita’. (Thirumuruga Krupanantha Warriar was one of the VIPs who attended this discourse.) He asked me whether my name ‘Majordasan’ was my pen name and asked for my given name. When I said Devadirajan was my original name, he said it was the name of the Therezundhur temple deity. He then blessed me and wished me a long and successful career as a writer. But, I couldn’t get photographed together with this genius in spite of this opportunity as well as another one when Kannadasan attended a function of Ki. Aa. Pe. Viswanathan.

Kannadasan was replying to questions in a series published in the Tamil weekly ‘Idhayam pesukirathu’, published by Manian. In the issue, dated 21-6-1981, he had selected and replied to my question – ‘Did you think of the celluloid world and poetry when you were hospitalized?’ Kannadasan had replied – ‘I regretted for my inability to do my job; I was disappointed that I couldn’t write due to circumstances; I regretted that I had wasted time. And, I prayed to God to grace me with the same talent in my next birth too.’ And, he had given interesting and meaningful replies to many questions in columns in other magazines too. I am giving below some of the interesting replies:

Q: Who inspired you for your views?

A: Poverty, lack of facilities and ridicule by people!

Q: Do you have any negative trait which you yourself do not approve of?

Yeah, I’ve so many … trusting friends too much, being honest in politics, showing mercy to all and many more.

Q: Please compare woman with poem …

A: Woman can always be enjoyed whereas poetry can be enjoyed only when you relax.

Q: Mention the song that took you the minimum time to write …

A:‘Muththaana muththallavo’ in the film ‘Nenjil or aalayam’.

Q: Your writing has always lust as the basis. Why?

A: Lust will always be the nucleus …

Q: Who is your preceptor?

A: My foolishness …!

Q: Of late, you are more active in writing. Is there any reason for this?

A: My income from cinema is fully spent out. Books will be the property that I would leave for my children. I’ve to write at least another fifty books to ensure monetary stability to my children.

Q: I am an ardent reader of your writing. What is your advice to me?

A: Follow the writing, don’t follow the author.

Q: What is meant by ‘Kaakithak kanaikal’?

A: They mean ‘notices’. Weaklings can issue only notices …

Q: which is the place where both theism and atheism are present?

A: Theism is present when there is trust and success. Atheism dominates when there is disappointment, failure and frustration and when there’s motive for profit.

Q: What made you a poet?

A: Failure of my first love.

Q: Today’s film songs are not as melodious and sweet as those of olden times …why?

A: The directors of yesteryears were talented in many ways. They were able to project the talents of others in full form. But today’s youth have no maturity or experience. They are not brave enough to admit their lack of skills. These are the reasons for the steep fall in the quality of film songs.
