Happy new year

2012 has arrived. Happy new year to everyone.

Mangatha vs Annatha

Just look at the recent hit- Mangatha where Ajith said everyone is bad, I am very bad’ and the film became hit, even though there were many loose ends in it. Was it reflecting the public mood?Did the public see a tinge of their own thinking or did they see it as real?

Ajith without any real context suddenly says naanum evvalavu naalthan nallavanave nadikkirathu? How long can i act as if I am a good guy? and that was the most rememberable dialogue of the film. Guess every one has that thought!

We all are corrupt in some way, said a TNCC functionary to a TV channel recently. Is he really wrong? we pretend as nobler than thou, but aren't we all up to the neck by now?  Anyone who has performed something somewhere has been touched by the hand of corruption either directly or indirectly. Those who stood for ethics and values have also survived provided they had hoardes of currency or support of funds from foreign land, that too if their actions in India was kept limited. More or less they too had simply outsourced the corruption and thus kept themselves clean. All the middle class and those aspiring and ambitious find it next to impossible to survive without greasing. How many can get seats in educational institutions with ever increasing Quota and limited seats? Money flows in all colors and very rarely in white. 

There is corruption even in social service. So how can they not be in Judiciary, medicare, police and  government. The positives of corruption is it makes things easier, faster and more assuring and predictable. if you pay so much , you are assured of something. Will Anna spoil this ?
