Fukushima happened, so Koodankulam should remaina colossal monument of misdirected energy and misspentbillion rupees, according to raucous local wizards who canalways round up gawky dumb cattle and, like the piedpiper, march them to the sea to their doom. These guyshave a point, for did not some wise man say that

an idle mind is the devil’s workshop?What a pity that the Kalpakkam atomic energiser is

empowering homes to fight darkness and run industrieseven after Chernobil churned asunder several lives inUSSR! France is almost run on nuclear energy, locallyproduced, which is as

natural as Carla producing a Presidential daughter. Japan, which was devastated by an untrue Truman of

USA to end World War Two by dropping a bomb each onHiroshima and Nagasaki, understood the potential of theatom and utilised the human brain to rise above the painof incineration of three hundred thousand people. Within40 years after the holocaust, Japan became an economicthreat to the self-assumed ruler of the world.

Quakes and tsunamis are geological aberrations be-yond human power to prevent or abort. That is why,wisely, insurance companies do not insure you againstnatural calamities. Hundreds of people die in plane crashesand millions in wars and variants of them all over theworld. Thousands smoke themselves to death. And manythousands die in road accidents every year. Just becausea few died in Fukushima, the brainologists in Koodankulamhave turned astrologers and prophesied the desertifica-tion and the end of any kind of life there of man, animal,plant et al in and near Koodankulam.

Wake up, the boozer who sees these nightmares. What,Amma?

TAMIL CINEMA 75 -A LOOK BACK

By Our Staff ReporterEven as the crowd has thin-

Employees of sealed shops worriedEmployees of sealed shops worried

ned on Ranganathan Street inT. Nagar, considered the busi-

est shopping area in the city,employees of the big establish-ments that have been sealedare worried about their future.More than 10000 persons,mostly from the southern dis-tricts of Tamilnadu, work onmeagre salaries though theyare provided food and accom-

modation which usually con-sists of a bed in a big hall theyhave to share with other em-ployees.

Most of them send a majorportion of their salaries to theirfamilies and make do with thebalance and the commissionthey get on sales.

Shop owners blocktraffic

Owners of shops on Ranga-nthan Street held up traffic onUsman Road soon after theirestablishments were sealed byCMDA and Corporation offi-cials on Oct. 31 for violation ofbuilding rules.

They complained that theofficials had not given themtime to remove goods from theshops before they were sealed.They dispersed after police in-tervened. Some of the employ-ees of the sealed shops forcedother shopowners on Ranga-nathan Street to down theirshutters.

Hawkers do business outside the sealed shops

By Our Staff ReporterThe action taken by CMDA

and Chennai Corporationagainst shopping establish-ments which have violatedbuilding rules has been wel-comed by residents of the areawho have been complaining foryears about the inconveniencecaused by hawkers, shoppersparking their cars on theirstreets and shops dumpingtheir waste in the area.

V. S. Jayaraman (Joint Sec-retary, T. Nagar Residents’Association) said that no guide-lines were followed during con-struction of commercial com-plexes. “There is a nexus be-tween officials and store own-ers. Otherwise, these buildingscould not have received clear-ance. I have received manythreats from shop owners forfiling RTIs with Chennai Cor-

Residents happy about actionagainst shops

poration and CMDA regardingbuilding rule violations,” headded. Another resident saidthat the shops dumped their

rubbish near their houses andflat complexes. Others raisedconcerns about fire and safetymeasures.

The Madras High Court onNov. 1 directed 31 officers in-cluding 4 IAS officers to fileaffidavits explaining their in-action when illegal construc-tions were made during theirperiod.

Passing further orders onwrit petitions relating to illegalconstructions filed by Con-sumer Action Group and T.Solomon, the First Bench, com-prising Chief Justice M. Y.Eqbal and Justice T. S. Siva-gnanam, said that the office-rs should also state as to whythe High Court should not rec-ommend to the Governmentdisciplinary action againstthem.

It adjourned the case by fourweeks on the assurance by theAdvocate-General, A. Nava-neethakrishnan, and theChennai Corporation’s coun-

sel that they would continuetheir action in order to ensurefull compliance of the court di-rections. The matter wasposted for further hearing onNov. 30.

The officers included Md.Nasimuddin, M. R. Mohan,Vikram Kapur and DayanandKataria, all IAS officers. Whilethe first three were formerMember-Secretaries ofCMDA, Kataria is the presentMember-Secretary who tookcharge on April 1 last year.

The other officers includedthree former Chief Planners.

The Bench ordered that the31 officers be impleaded asparty respondents in the writpetitions. The Bench directedCMDA to provide a copy of theorder to all the officers whichwould amount to serving no-tice on them.

When the artistic welcome-address casket was put up forauction at the well-attended dinner-reception to Chief MinisterAnnadurai, Meiyappan began the bid with Rs. 5,000. Soonothers chipped in with higher bids and the going rate shot upfast! Six thousand, seven thousand and then the rate zoomedforward fast to fifteen thousand rupees! And then the tidestopped. Eager and keen that he should have a hand in the firstDravidian Party Chief Minister’s Fund, Meiyappan bid Rs.16,000 and it was accepted as the winning bid amidst loudcheers and applause. The successful bidder felt happy that hehad done his humble bit for the welfare of the less blessedfellowmen and women of his home state.

Speaking on the occasion, Annadurai praised Meiyappanand his services to cinema and of his fame and name in thecountry. In his inimitable oratorical style he said, “Recently Itoured northern India by car with some friends. I do not sleepearly at night and go to see movies. We broke journey in a smalltown and went to see a film. As soon as the screening began,people in the cinema hall cheered with loud hand-claps! Whatdid they cheer? It was the logo-emblem of AVM Productions! Ihad thought that people normally clapped only when they sawtheir favourite star’s name on the screen. But here NorthIndians were cheering the name of a South Indian Companyand I felt very happy!” A creditable praiseworthy achievementfor Meiyappan indeed!

Inspired by the popular signature tune of All India Radio(AIR), R. Sudarsanam composed a signature tune for AVMProductions played on the clarinet. Its melodious tune andfacile rendering became popular serving as the clarion call tomoviegoers for wholesome, clean, entertaining family-orientedcinema.

1960s saw the growth of Meiyappan and the AVM moviemoghuldom. Successful and memorable movies in Tamil, Teluguand Hindi rolled out of AVM Studios. The decade also witnessedhis sons Murugan, Kumaran and Saravanan joining the familyenterprise as producers under the guidance of their father. Italso saw Meiyappan encouraging talent and giving breaks tonon-family persons who would soon make marks in SouthIndian cinema. One such was the talented and successfulfilmmaker with an impressive track record, A. C.Thirulokachandar. Indeed Meiyappan ever remained the ac-tive talent-scout and impresario.

A person of much creative talent and many skills of commu-nication and Meiyappan’s right-hand man, ‘Javert’ N.Seetharaman worked on many screenplays for his boss andAVM Studios. One such movie proved a major hit of 1960 andrepeated its success when it was remade in Hindi. That was‘Kalathur Kannamma’ (‘Mein Chup Rahungi’ in Hindi, made in1962). It was also dubbed in Telugu in 1960 as ‘MaavooriAmmayi’.

The ‘back story’ of this film is interesting. The screenplaywritten by Javert Seetharaman had much in common with theMoral Rearmament Army’s Play ‘The Forgotten Factor’. In thefilm, a rich feudal landowner’s city-educated son (GeminiGanesh) meets a poor but educated girl (K. Savithri), thedaughter of the feudal bigwig’s lowly servant (S.V. Subbaiah)and they fall in love, not aware of the identity and backgroundof each other. After knowing the truth, they marry in secret.She becomes pregnant, with her husband away studying inLondon without being aware of his wife’s condition. Soon shegives birth to a son in secret. Her father, who has no idea of theidentity of the child’s father, leaves his grandson at an orphan-age at night. She had promised her feudal father-in-law (T. K.Bhagavathi) that she would not reveal her marriage and wouldalso keep out of her husband’s life. The hero returns and nowmore complications ensue leading to more emotional situa-tions until the tangles are solved leading to a ‘they lived happilythereafter’ fade out ….
