SADANAND Half the trouble generated for the 10 to 5 time-filler for the welfare of the inscrutable owner of the globe, variously labelled as God, Bhagavan, Allah et al, is preventable if God, once every ten hours or more, wakes up from his Kumbhakarna siestas. The shouting supplicators for the hidden inexhaustible riches must have taken the matrimonial oath “Yes, we will”, when the good old God and Wife made the couple sign on the dotted line which, in the course of a few days, being written in self-deleting ink, got deleted. The honeymooning couple were advised by crooked lawyers that, since the Schedule did not contain the items and actually there is no evidence of the acceptance of the liability to protect a good man like M. A. Sadanand who had tumbled into the snakepit of the legal profession, God, his Wife and the army of legal manipulators were not bound by the manifestation of the Royal couple’s rantings, which if any, got selfdeleted thanks to a pot of vanishing ink. The creators of the new profession of deceit through centuries of promoting, faking and legal wild goose chasing, after millions of ignoramus make law in law factories, throve all over the world and called themselves “Learned”, the coping stone in the build up. There were great men - not merely brainy or vocabulary wise, but inherently honest. All good things, bad things and forgettable things, people and incidents must end. Democracy has blessed many a forgettable fellows who, without political benediction, would have, at best, risen to the position of a lawyer’s clerk. God got chest pain laughing non-stop for hours because one chap stuck like a leach to a politician and was suffered to be one of the bunch of Government Pleaders when I was the chief G.P. After I was guillotined one fine night, he jumped up. Then, after many ropes were shredded, this great jurist was upped as a judge. I had a small Civil Revision Petition before him that could have been disposed of in 5 minutes but, after 15 adjournments, not at my instance, I asked him to verify a date from his papers as my print was smudged. He said, “Don’t put to me questions “. It took me 40 years to learn that lesson. After another adjournment, the case came up before Justice Prabha Sridevan and it was allowed in 5 minutes. Justicing is like the I.P.L or the Wimbledon or a Test without Harper.

TAMIL CINEMA 75 A LOOK BACK By RANDOR GUY THE AVM STORY - 85 1957 was a very successful and memorable year for Meiyappan, and he had every reason to feel happy. Never one to rest on his oars and laurels, he planned ahead to become one of the top film producers of India .... 1958 continued to be another hectic year for Meiyappan and AVM Studios. Pictures in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada were produced as earlier. True to his wont, Meiyappan struck a new path when he dubbed a Bengali film into Tamil. After having created film history dubbing a film from one language to another with ‘Harishchandra’ in 1943 and then ‘Ram Rajya’ in 1948, his interest in dubbing had not waned. In 1958, he chose to dub just not yet another film but an important picture by one of the finest film makers of India, a creative celluloid poet Debaki Bose. The film was ‘Ratna Deep’ (1951) considered an important Bengali film for many reasons beside its maker! Debaki Kumar Bose (1898-1971) was one of the celebrated film makers of India who contributed much to the exalted status and stature of Bengali cinema since the 1930s. Hailing from an affluent family, he taught in a college, gave it up to join the Indian Freedom Movement, later worked a journalist and entered films in 1930 as a screenwriter. He joined the history-making Indian movie company in Calcutta, New Theaters, and took his bow as writer-director with the hit, ‘Chandidas’ (1932). In this film, he introduced a new genre of folk myth based on the lives of saints. Later, he made films like ‘Puran Bhakt’ (1933), ‘Meerabai’ (1933), ‘Seetha’ (1934, a lyrical film about Rama and Seetha, and the Ramayana hero’s anguish over the separation from his consort), ‘Inquilab’ (1935), ‘Vidyapathi’ (1937), ‘Nartaki’ (1940), and ‘Ratna Deep’ (1951). In 1961, he made a valuable documentary ‘Argya’. It was adapted from Rabindranath Tagore’s poems about the caste system in Hindu society. Debaki Bose’s films inspired many film makers and the noted Telugu filmmaker B. N. Reddi stated that he was inspired by Debaki Bose’s films, especially ‘Seeta’. The impact was so deep that he chose to give up his profession of chartered accountancy and become a film maker. ‘Ratna Deep’ is an interesting film with a more interesting ‘back story’. It was based on a successful novel by Prabhat Kumar Mukherjee which, in turn, was inspired by the celebrated ‘Bhowal Sanyasi Case’. It is a ‘cause célèbre’, as lawyers say, and is considered as one of the most sensational and incredible cases in legal history. A Raja of a small estate Bhowal in Bengal during the British Indian Reign died young, and his family carried his corpse to the cemetery and performed his cremation. Many years later, a bearded ascetic or sanyasi came to the family claiming to be the Raja! The widow and the family members were stunned because the sanyasi bore an astonishing resemblance to the Raja. He even had the same birth marks and moles! And he had an equally astonishing tale to tell. He, the Raja , was not really dead but was only in deep coma when his body was carried for the funeral. At the cemetery when his ‘corpse’ was about to be cremated, a strong storm suddenly burst forth and the family and mourners ran away leaving the ‘body’ on the pyre. The storm, blowing winds, sound and fury of thunder and lightning and pouring rain woke him up out of the coma and he was shocked to find where he was! Suspecting family conspiracy to get at the rich estate, and feeling disgusted with human greed and perfidy, he chose not to return to the family and wandered in the Himalayas. (To be continued) Page 8 By K. S. Ramakrishnan Steve Jobs in 1987 Steve Jobs in 2010 (afflicted with cancer) Apple Macintosh SE (1987) known as WYSIWYG - What You See Is What You Get! This printed page could later be sent to a printing press, however far it may be, for the replication of thousands of copies of the newspaper for subsequent distribution. The IBM PC, the alternative desktop computer of those days, did not have any of these capabilities. It had no facility for page make-up, and the output could only be from a dotmatrix printer which was unfit for further processing for the production of a printed newspaper. Giving directions to the IBM PC, using what was known as Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS DOS), was quite a nightmare. For example, to copy a file from the hard drive to a floppy drive, one had to type each letter of the elaborate command “copy c:\docs\ myfolder\filename a:\”. For renaming a file, the command was ‘ren c:\docs\myfolder\ filename.old filename.new”, and for deleting a file, it was “del c:\docs\myfolder\ filename”. The mouse that came with Apple Macintosh converted these tasks into child’s play. Each file you created would be represented by a picture (which Steve Jobs called ‘icon’) on the computer screen and, to delete it, you had only to point the mouse’s arrow on that icon and drag it to another icon representing the trash box. To copy a file from a hard drive to a floppy drive, you had to merely drag that file’s icon from the hard drive icon to the floppy drive icon. This process, which is incorporated in all computer software today, was revolutionary in 1986, and it was Steve Jobs who introduced that user-friendly step and named it as ‘graphic interface’. I was one of the earliest users of Apple Macintosh in India, having bought one almost as soon as it was launched in USA. Its specifications were quite rudimentary (Monochrome, with only 1MB RAM and 20MB hard disc) with a price that was quite prohibitive at 2900 US dollars! The LaserWriter cost another whopping $3200. But I needed the system for American Education Aids, the educational institution I was running then. Steve Job’s guiding principle in life was ‘To think differently’ and I too adopted it while deciding to experiment with the publication of a neighbourhood newspaper using the infrastructure created by him. And the rest is history! So, let me also, on behalf of the readers of this newspaper, add my humble salute to that genius Steve Jobs!

Nagar and Lions club of Shakti on Oct. 2 as part of Gandhi Jayanthi celebrations. Dr. Gayathri Sreekanth of Dr. Duraiswami Eye Hospital told Mambalam Times that 18 persons needed to undergo cataract surgery which will be done free. 21 had vision defects. They will be provided spectacles at cost price. She said that patients were asked to come the following week for another vision check and cataract surgery counselling. There will be another free eye screening camp in the hospital on Nov. 6, she added. More details can be had from Dr. Gayathri in 2434 1044. Edited & Published by K.S. Ramakrishnan.

CM YK Steve Jobs who made Mambalam Times possible! If those of you who have never possessed an Apple computer or an iPod or an iPhone or an iPad were bewildered by the countless newspaper columns of encomia paid to Steve Jobs after his demise on Wednesday and thought that he had played no role in your lives, you are wrong! But for Steve Job’s early invention Apple Macintosh, this newspaper Mambalam Times which you have been reading regularly for over 16 years, would not even have been born! Till the advent of Apple Macintosh in 1986 - together with the now-ubiquitous mouse, Apple LaserWriter and the software packages Mac-write and Aldus PageMaker anyone who wished to publish a newspaper had to necessarily own a printing press with a manual composing room. The investment in such an elaborate infrastructure would have been totally non-viable for a weekly tabloid newspaper of 8 to 16 pages and there would, therefore, have been no Mambalam Times! It was Apple Macintosh that proved to be the game changer! In it one could compose news stories, edit them, give them headlines, incorporate photographs and place them on a page exactly like they would look on the final printed copy. A print-out of the page could then be taken from the Apple LaserWriter, which used the technology then October 8 - 14, 2011 MAMBALAM TIMES
