அக்ஷாராபியாசம்

தமிழில் என் முதல் இணை பதிவு. உண்மையில் நான் சில பல வருடங்களாக தமிழில் இணை பதிவு செய்ய வேண்டும் என்று ஆசை பட்டிருக்கிறேன், ஆனால் முடிந்தததிலை..ஏனென்றால் இந்த http://www.quillpad.com/tamil/ இருந்ததில்லை.

என் தாய் மொழியாம் தமிழில் படித்து பரவசம் அடைந்த இணைய பதிவுகள் இரண்டு.

http://vanthithevan.blogspot.com
http://www.vettipayal.com/

இவ்விரண்டு பதிவுகளும் என்னை ஏங்க வைத்தன. நானும் தமிழில் ப்ளாக் செய்ய வேண்டும் என்று. ஆனால் அது இன்று தான் *tangible stuff* ஆகா மாறி இருக்கிறது.

விரைவில் எதிர்பாருங்கள் உங்கள் கணினி திரையில் *.* வின் புலம்பல்களை.

வழம் பெருக


பின்னுரை: இப்பதிவில் குற்றம் குறை இருந்தால் மன்னிக்கவும். நான் சிறுவன்

Who the save Super Singer???

A hopeless Airtel Super Singer for the first time ever according to me...

I felt for once that along with the hostess, the creative head of the SUper Singer team as well swapped loyalties....

The latest of the triplet show of Super SInger in the first week after CHinmayi's exit was the worst orchestrated of all...sadly the stalwarts (tridevs of Super Singer lately) had also taken a stroll in the park and three listless judges...I wouldnt comment on their personalities.....but their judgement...I would say was listless...

I would have expected that CHinmayi atleast hosted this episode as a tribute to her master...but was it also the part of the plot??....we wouldnt know forever....

But what we know for sure....is that Chinmayi will always be missed for her suave compere-ing, Sujatha, Srinivas and Unnikrishnan are actually keeping the show alive rather than the singers...:)...which I realized yesterday!!....even the singers are egged onto perform at their best in front of the best of the judges..

It was a rude realization for Super SInger viewers like me...and I couldnt believe my hands that they tuned to a different channel mid-way the show....goes to show how boring yday's part was!!!!!

God Help Super Singer..

A Letter to Padmhasini

This is addressing Padmhasini (as a fall-out to Chinmayee's post on her blog)

You have been very prolific in your show (Airtel Super Singer)!! And you have built a special niche spot for yourself in the show particularly when the show is all about abundance of talent...contestants, judges....where the level of talent is of the next level. I think you have kick started a new clan of MC / Compere / on the tele who are suave, swift in reaction based on the mood of the show, very very competent with the stuff that you are appointed for!!

We appreciate all of this and have started to expect more of this professional MCing from other so-called comperes / glam girls and felt sorry for them. Similar shows in other teles have sloppy compereing....which made me feel that you though being an amateur in Compereing; have brought a breeze of professionalism to this art, be it dress-sense; be it cheering the contestants; be it franchising the tag-line of the show in different tones in differing situations to suit the mood of the show!!; be it jelling well along with the contestants and singing along with them, playing pranks with the terror trio!!; be it the minimum amount of interference with the judgement inspite of being an authority in music yourself; be it the quality of being leastly jarring by way of an MC; be it the poise with which you have been using your bi-linguistic skills equally competent; be it the use of godspeed and shabba khair!!

All of this are the ones that we have felt along the journey called Airtel Super Singer along with you in the past year or so!!!

Its a shame that you are having to part with the show at this peaking part of the show..We will miss you....and yes, needless to say the remaining 8 contestants would miss you as well!!!

Wishing you good luck and we look forward to seeing you in some other show very soon!!!
