Ban for Nayanthara
Nagesh, comedy king On comeback trail passes away
Nagesh, one of the greatest comedians passed away on January 31. He was ailing for quite sometime. He was known not only for his comedian roles but also for his character roles. He has acted in almost 1000 movies.
His entry to films was through Tamil plays like his contemporary actors. He started his acting career by acting in 'Kambar Ramayanam' enacted by some of his colleagues, and started playing small roles in different drama troupes before acting in cinema.
In the recent past Kollywood saw many actresses making an entry after marriage to do meaty roles. Actress Gopika, who married a doctor from Ireland may also follow the footsteps of Simran and
Nadiya it seems. While accepting an award at a function organized by a television channel she said that she doesn't mind acting if the role is good and the film is completed fast.
Actress Nayanthara has been banned by Tamil Film Producers Council (TFPC) and Nadigar Sangam from acting in Tamil movies. Reports say that the ban is in the wake of her refusal to pay back the amount received for the movie Paiyaa. Producer and director Lingusamy had earlier signed her for the movie Paiyaa and later opted for
Tamannaha to act in it. It is alleged that Nayan refused to return the money. The TFPC and Nadigar Sangam have asked producers not to sign her for any future films. In their statement they have requested the producers association in other languages like Telugu and Malayalam also not to sign Nayanthara for movies.

Music Festival included Yochana in Darbar, Manavyalakinchare in Nalinakanthi, Devi neeye thunai in Keervani, Sabapathikku in Abhogi. Her rendering was pleasing and impressive. If the artiste takes care of the diction while rendering keerthanas in other languages, it can take her to further heights. The medley of songs was good as Radha sametha Krishna in Yamuna Kalyani created the mood of bhajana sampradaya. Kandanaal
would have been more enjoyable for the music lovers, if the artistes announce the composer's name, raga, thala and sahitya. A decade of training under her guru had given her confidence and she can further take it up by attending concerts of different musicians.

Shifting of RTO office creates traffic problems
vital link road that connects Arcot Road with Koyambedu market and CMBT Terminus. "This Road is not broad enough to accommodate the heavy traffic. Severe traffic jam and accidents have been a cause for concern, " says a resident. Hence Virugambakkam Residents Welfare Association (VRWA) has approached various
government agencies to widen this narrow road and make it 80 feet wide road. The request has been pending for a long time. "We have handed over a Petition in person to K.N. Nehru, Transport Minister and to S. Machendra Nathan, Transport Commissioner," says S. Arumainathan, president of VRWA. "Though the master plan for the
expansion of this road was created almost two decades ago, till date it has not been executed," he adds. The encroachment on this narrow road remains one of the major problems for the residents and commuters. A signature campaign was conducted last year, in which around 2000 people participated.
