Celebrations

Today 17.1.2007 is MGR's 90th Birthday. As I expected every T.V. Channels in Tamil Nadu broadcasted MGR acted movies and shows. For the MGR fans they followed there protocol by putting a temporary shed and placing MGR photo and garlanding.

From my home to Office is 4.5 kilometers, I have to travel by main road, on my way o counted, there were 7 such temporary sheds broadcasting MGR songs. MGR Idols washed and garlanded. The cycle shop I mentioned in the earlier blog saw a facelift.

But I was astonished when MGR's opposing parties the D.M.K and the newly formed Vijayakanth party celebrating MGR's birthday. (Maybe to set eye on MGR Vote bank, beware "Amma")

Raj T.V. and Jaya T.V. remembered MGR well and I watched some scenes from MGR movie, there were SMS messages sent to MGR's birthday scrolling in the bottom of that some catchy ones –

"MGR is great Actor"
"MGR – is great"
"I Love MGR"
"MGR=MGR"
"MGR is my Lord"
"MGR - beloved God of my family"
"Long live MGR fame"
