Recently a function was held in Chennai for the release of 'Ennavale' cassettes. Lyricist Vairamuthu gave an enthralling speech after releasing the cassettes. The following are the contents of his harangue.

"It is high time the poets stopped the usage of oft-repeated words like Nila(Moon), Maan(Dear), and Thendral(Breeze). Those words are badly in need of some holidays. The Moon has waned conspicuously breeze refused to blow. There are more number of stags in the lyrics than those are in the forests and sanctuaries".

Vairamuthu quoted an incident, that took place involving Sivaji Ganesan and Poet Kannadasan, two legendaries of Tamil film industry with lively interest.

Next he turned his attention to S.A.Rajkumar, the music director. As it is his wont he made one bold declaration. "If a lyric has to achieve a success, it must first reverberate on a large scale in the villages and hamlets. In recent times, we hear many songs composed by S.A.Rajkumar in our villages".

We could understand that the noted lyricist makes a reference to the songs of 'Vanaththaipola'. Unlike A.R.Rehman , S.A.Rajkumar does not give chances to Vairamuthu in all his pictures. Yet the Poet is pleased to place his compliments for S.A.Rajkumar on record. This shows his magnanimity and nobility of character.
 
It was a shooting for the film, 'Badhri'. The shooting took place at a car shed nearby the bus stand in Vadapalani. 'Badhri' is just the remake of the Telugu movie, 'Thambudu'. Arun Prasad, who had been the director of the original Telugu film, directs its Tamil version also.

Shots were taken in the car shed about the birthday celebrations in honor of Bhoomikia. The birthday cake was placed on a green-colored old car. Bhoomika blew out the lighted candles placed on the cake. She offered the first piece cut from that cake into the mouth of Vijay; to the delight of his bosom friends Vivek and Dhamu.

Whereas the actresses are known to come to the shooting spots in the company of their mothers. But it was her father who accompanied Bhoomika to the shooting spot in question. There were no superior airs about her.

When the shot was Okayed, Vijay hurriedly took shelter in his car. He did not indulge in any idle talk. No gossip at all! He has trimmed his moustache.

No doubt, Vivek wore a smile. But he was seriously preparing his own script in association with his friend Murugan. Dhamu was busy in his animated conversation about Vaasthu, numerology etc.

As the details about the movie are secretly guarded, we requested the director to throw some light about that film. But he informed us that he would be providing all particulars about the film during the press meet to be held in the first week of December. So saying, he rushed fast to extract work from his technicians.
 
The Suicide of Viji has shocked the Honorable Chief Minister Karunanidhi himself.

Viji had made her love publicity known in the newspapers of Saturday and Sunday last. But she has chosen the ultimate way out to end her mental torture by resorting to commit suicide by hanging herself.

When the matter came light, work was sent to the Chief Minister. On knowing the sad news, Vijayakanth called up Kalaignar over his cell phone to share his sorrow. The demise of Viji saddened the Chief Minister for quite some time. When the health of Viji was jeopardized by the wrong treatment given by the Apollo Hospital, Kalaignar was one among those who extended their helping hands to the helpless actress.


Visibly, he was upset at the plight of the young actress. He shared his grief with those who were around him. He lamented: "It has become customary for some actresses to get disappointed in this way. Should this girl take her life itself for the sake of love?

It is to noted that Viji had sent two audio cassettes to Kalaingar, on the date of the incident.

Viji is survived in his family, by her father alone. She never took shelter in the shadow of her relations. She had fallen in love with Director Ramesh despite her knowledge about his previous marriage, as she was in dire necessity of finding a person to take care of her after the demise of her own father. But as destiny had it now Viji is no more. By the quirk of fate, her father is left alone in the lurch.

In her handwritten letter to her advocate, Viji has stated that all her properties would here after, belong to her father solely. But, heart-broken as he is, the poor father says: "I have lost my dear daughter Viji herself. As such, all these properties are of little importance to me. I will give away all of them by way of charities to the poor and needy!"

Our hearts go out for him. May Viji's soul rest in peace!
