By Our Staff
Reporter
Tenders for
the proposed
multi-level
parking facility on Bashyam
Road, T. Nagar, adjacent to
Panagal Park,
will be floated
in a couple of
weeks.
The Rs. 25-crore facility will
be tendered on a 30-year design, build, operate and transfer basis.
The parking facility will
have six to seven levels and
will be able to
accommodate
around 510 4wheelers and
918 2-wheelers.
It will be fitted with CC
TV cameras
and electronic
ticketing counters.
The proposed parking fee
for 4-wheelers is Rs. 30 per
hour and for 2-wheelers Rs. 7
per hour.
Burglars break into 3 houses
on same night
By Our Staff Reporter
On the night of July 6, burglars broke into three houses
(two of them in adjacent apartments) on Arya Gowda Road
(West Mambalam), but had to
return empty handed from two
of them as the flats were vacant.
According to the police, they
broke into the flat belonging
to Mani (a railway employee)
in an apartment on Arya
Gowda Road (West Mambalam) and found it to be vacant.
They next broke into a 2nd
floor flat in the adjacent apartment and found it too to be
vacant.
In their third successive attempt, they broke into the flat
belonging to Lakshmi Narayanan (a retired bank employee)
on the first floor.
The neighbours, on seeing
the lock broken in the morning, called to police. They informed the police that Narayanan was away in the US with
his wife.
The police suspect loss of
valuables and cash as they
found an almirah in the house
open.
The value can only be ascertained after the return of
Narayanan, they said.
That same night, Rs. 5,000
in cash was burgled from the
office of a local weekly newspaper on Srinivasa Pillai
Street.
Police suspect the involvement of the same gang in all
the four cases.
According to an investigating officer, it appears to be the
handiwork of habitual offenders, who had prior information about the locked houses.
He added that most apartment complexes have not installed closed circuit television cameras despite being
advised to do so.
The cases are under investigation in Mambalam Police
Station.

TAMIL CINEMA 75 A LOOK BACK
Garden around NSK statue
under renovation
By RANDOR GUY
TAMIL CINEMA AND MUSIC - 60
Sachi worked with Dungan in his historic maiden movie
‘Sathi Leelavathi’ (1936) produced by the Coimbatore-based
producer A. N. Maruthachalam Chettiar.
Chettiar had already produced the box-office bonanza ‘Bhama
Vijayam’ (1934), directed by Manik Lal Tandon, in which G. N.
Balasubramaniam (GNB), the Carnatic music legend that still
lives undiminished long after his demise, took his bow in movies
as Sage Narada.
Dungan’s ‘Sathi Leelavathi’ created history and many new
talents made waves and forged ahead to conquer peaks of fame
and fortune. The roster included the Gemini movie mogul S. S.
Vasan as story-writer, and latter-day stars M. K. Radha (of
‘Chandralekha’ fame!), T. S. Balaiah, and the last but not the
least M. G. Ramachandran (MGR), the man of destiny, deified
leader of Tamils, cult figure and all!
Rajam played Lord Krishna in ‘Radha Kalyanam’ while
Radha was played by M. R. Santhanalakshmi, the noted star
of yesteryears. A married Brahmin woman from the temple
town Kumbakonam, she had entered the Tamil theater and
made a mark with her good looks, bountiful buxom figure and
singing talents and skills. Saachi, a keen talent scout, brought
her into movies in this film.
Santhanalakshmi was much older to Rajam and, not surprisingly, he felt embarrassed in doing romantic sequences
with her! And according to Ellis R. Dungan, she was quite
aggressive in enacting such scenes and invested them with
much igniting impact-rich realism!
(Ellis R. Dungan, a close pal of this writer, also directed her
in the movie ‘Ambikapathi’ with MKT. Dungan passed away
some years ago at the age of 93 in Wheeling, West Virginia,
USA. This writer is now at work on a book on him. ‘Ambikapathi’
made Santhanalakshmi a star and she enjoyed a long and
successful innings. A song by her in this film ‘Aaathi Paranjyothi
ennai….’ (based on a hit Hindi film tune) became very popular
and old-timers still recall this song with joy.
‘Radha Kalyanam’ did not do well commercially and few
remember this movie today .…
Then came ‘Rukmini Kalyanam’ (1936) and Rajam played
Lord Krishna again in this movie. The famous Marathi filmmaker, actor, and later Dadasaheb Phalke Award winner, Balji
Phendarkar directed it. He was the brother of Baburao (who
had directed ‘Seetha Kalyanam’). He was very fond of icecream and, according to Rajam, he used to take chunks of it for
breakfast! This film too did not do well .…
By now Rajam had got married and, as his wife was not in
favor of his acting in movies, it was goodbye to cinema,
romantic scenes with elderly heroines and all that ….!
But later, in 1948, Rajam worked as the music composer
(with no credit) and also sang a song offscreen ‘Kaathal puyal
thanile thurumbu pol…’ in V. Shantaram’s ‘Nam Naadu’. The
celebrated Indian filmmaker had made a Hindi film ‘Apna Desh’
and he dubbed it in Tamil. He released the Hindi version in
Andhra with songs in Telugu! M. L. Vasanthakumari sang offscreen for the heroine Pushpa Hans in the Tamil version.
(This writer found in his modest ‘archives’ a magazine interview with Rajam by Kalki (Ra. Krishnamurthy), the icon of
modern Tamil literature. It appeared in ‘Ananda Vikatan’ of the
1930s when Kalki was its Associate Editor. Here are some
extracts translated from the Tamil original:
Kalki: Can you tell us something about how to improve Tamil
Cinema?
‘Master’ Rajam: Beshaaa! Acting is important and equally
important is the delivery of dialogues. However, in Tamil
cinema, nobody really bothers about it! Much of it is written
only a few days before the shooting and what does it prove?
Kalki: Dialogue is not that important for a film!
Rajam: More or less you are right! Dialogue writers should
know something about cinema and acting. However, here it is
not so! They write long sentences in high-flown language while
nobody talks like that in real life! Therefore, you cannot act in
a realistic manner …. It’s all stagey and stilted…. Artificial!
They don’t take any care about minor roles … In a film all roles,
big and small, are important.
Kalki : Were all these things followed in your films?
Rajam: I don’t think so! Otherwise, they would have been
better!
Kalki: What do you think of directors not knowing Tamil
directing such films?
Rajam: Let’s take my recent film ‘Rukmini Kalyanam’. The
director did not know Tamil, but in a way it helped us! He (Balji
Phendarkar) was also the writer. His dialogues were translated
and we spoke them. If we made any mistake, he would spot it
at once! He was also a fine actor…. And he was very brilliant
.... Of course all directors are not so!
(Obviously Tamil cinema has not changed much since the
1930s!)

The roadside garden housing
the statue of N. S. Krishnan on
G. N. Chetty Road is being renovated. Chennai Corporation
workers removed an overgrowth of bushes and fixed a

An official said that granite

will be planted in the inner portion.
Street flooded by bore well work
By Our Staff Reporter
A resident of Patel Street
(West Mambalam) let out
water and slush, pumping
them out onto the street, while
drilling a bore well within the
compound of his house, thereby
flooding the street and creating a nuisance to road users.
Pedestrians and motorists
avoided the lane as its surface
had become slippery.

SUICIDE SQUAD
Compared to the bottomless mighty oceans in which our poor
pieces of earth float with their crowd of human animal and other
baggage whom the great Creator had condemned to be despoilers
of all that is loaded in the biblical ark for the good or bad of man, the
stupid rivers that discharge the scum and shit of the millions of the
people and animals sometimes grumble at the antics of man who
imagine that their favourite gods and their cohorts would be
gambolling on the banks of the Himalayan rivers. For them the sight
is next to the final mystery of what heaven holds in store for them
after their sojourn in mother India.
Armed with ignorance and the deadly faith that God will spare
the holy pilgrims, these God-trekkers in millions climb and descend
the Himalayas where the human pathway was scrambled up
hundreds of years ago.Thousands of the pilgrims must have perished in the past either in the slush or floods or through diseases
acquired through quirks of nature but not reported in the media for
fear of antagonising our good old Gods and Goddesses.
This new Godly season, the Himalayan game turned out to be a
mock Olympiad and lakhs of dumb driven cattle and the sponsoring
States caused the disappearance of thousands in floods, diseases,
tsunamis and during rescue operations. The Gods are having a
whale of a season at the pettiness of man for imagining that a painful
trek is the antidote for all the past sins.
“What would you suggest to the sissy government ?”
“BAN these yatras!”
“Why?”
“They are stupid. I heard one God tell another that the human
beings are crazy and, though we Gods have created them, they will
destroy themselves without our help. Shiva the destroyer is closing
shop. Poor chap needs rest. “
Daasya members bathe cows of
goshala
By Our Staff Reporter
Members of Daasya (12th Avenue, Ashok Nagar), an NGO, and
volunteers bathed the cows and cleaned the goshala in Athur Village
(Chengalpet District) belonging to Sri Chaturvedha Vidhya Ganapathi
Vedhashram (26/8, Ramachandra Street, T. Nagar) on July 7.
P. Raman (President, Daasya) told Mambalam Times that after the
sanitation work, they performed gho pooja. They also donated provisions to the Vedhashram.
B. Vaidyanathan (Trustee, Vedhashram) said that the Veda patasala
was started a year ago and at present there are six students.
Apart from Vedic education, they also learn English, Tamil, Sanskrit
and mathematics.
Students are provided free boarding and lodging.
Those who are willing to make donations may call 2814 3451 or
98844 02624.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Playground misused as godown by contractor
Sir, The Corporation playground in our area is in a bad condition.
The playground was temporarily given to a Corporation contractor
5 years ago for storing his materials in connection with some sewage
work he was carrying out. How a community playground could be given
away in the first place in itself is a mystery.
The contractor completely damaged and vandalized the playground
during the period of his use. Our Resident Association has been fighting
for its restoration ever since with little effect. The residents even staged
a dharna in front of the Corporation office some months ago.
The contractor is dragging his feet and the restoration is moving at
a snail’s pace.
I request the Corporation officials to take action against the contractor and restore the playground so that it can be put to use for residents
benefit. – T. Santhanam, 2(6), 5th Street, Nandanam Extension
