Auto driver returns bag with ipad, rewarded by police Rajiv Gandhi, an autorickshaw driver, handed over a bag containing an Apple ipad that was left behind in his auto by a passenger, to the police on Wednesday. The police traced the owner Ganesan (from Australia) and handed it back to him. According to the police, Rajiv (a resident of Giriappa Road, T Nagar) picked up two persons (one of whom was Ganesan) from Hyatt Regency (Teynampet) and dropped them at New Woodlands Hotel (RK Salai). He collected his fare and after traveling a short distance noticed a bag in the back seat of the auto. Realising it must have been left behind by his last fares, he rushed back to New Woodlands Hotel but could not locate them and decided to hand over the bag MAMBALAM TIMES Page 3 Ration card validity extended by one more year The validity of ration cards has been extended by another one year from January 2013.

George (Police Commissioner) for his honesty.
Page 4 MAMBALAM TIMES January 5-11, 2013 TAMIL CINEMA 75 - A LOOK BACK By RANDOR GUY TAMIL CINEMA AND MUSIC - 41 The explanation why he did not use D. K. Pattammal s Sri Saraswathi Namosthuthe in Miss Malini was given by Vasan years later in a chat with this writer. The character Malini is a poor woman who, out of poverty, is forced to seek a livelihood by going onstage. Her father is unwell and she has no money to buy medicines for him. So she takes the test and sings the song. A person of such background in such a difficult situation will feel nervous and even scared. And Malini is not a trained musician. Such a woman could not be expected to sing with such class, perfection and brilliance which Pattammal definitely had and revealed in her singing. Malini could never sing like that! That was the reason I did not use Pattammal s rendering and got a regular playback singer, T. V. Ratnam, to sing that song instead!. A convincing explanation from a serious filmmaker! Pattammal sang songs in Tamil and Sanskrit in Chittoor V. Nagaiah s Telugu film classic Thyagaiah. And a few other forgotten films. Because of her family background, tradition and Brahmin middle class values, Pattammal never sang love duets and hardly saw the films in which her songs were featured! After she rose to dizzying heights of success and fame in the Carnatic music world, she moved away from films. Though she had sung in too few films, her songs of Bharathiyar in Naam Iruvar shall ever remain immortal melodies! Papanasam Sivan - A Cinematic Perspective If Tamil film music is today part of life among Tamilians anywhere in the fast-shrinking world, a good part of the credit should go undoubtedly to Papanasam Sivan. Classical Carnatic Music maestro, legend in his lifetime, legend that still lives even after his departure for the yonder blue and beyond, a savant of music hailed as Thamizh Thyagaiah, his contribution to Tamil cinema, its music, and more more precisely its songs, is richly outstanding. Indeed his body of work in cinema awaits a proper, full length and in-depth study. He truly laid the firm foundation for film songs to become popular during the 1930-1940s almost single-handedly. Besides, he made Carnatic music popular among the common folks with his scintillatingly melodious film songs based on traditional Carnatic raagas. If a list of the immortal melodies of Tamil cinema is taken, a good number of them of the early decades would be his creations: Radhey Unakku Kopam (Chintamani), Natakame Ulagam Chintamani), Gnana Kann Ondru (Chintamani), Sivaperuman Kripai (Satyaseelan), Maa Ramanan Uma Ramanan (Seva Sadanam), Manamey Kanamum Maravathey (Savithri), Manmatha Leelayai (Haridas), Krishna Mukunda Murarey (Haridas), Dheena Karunakaraney Nataraja (Thiruneelakantar), Characharangal Varum (Thiruneelakantar), Un Azhagai Kaana (Thiruneelakantar), Unnai Kandu Mayangaatha (Ashok Kumar), Satrey Sarinda Kuzhaley (Ambikapathi), Vadhaname Chandra Bimbamo (Sivakavi), Kavalayai Theerpathu Naattiya Kalaiye (Sivakavi), Soppana Vaazhvil (Sivakavi), Neea Illaamal Anuvum Asaiyumo (Pankajavalli), Enthan Idathu Tholum Kannum (Sakunthalai). And dozens more! Papanasam Sivan created them all! In recent years, two of his film songs Maa Ramanan Uma Ramanan and Manamey Kanamum are sung regularly by Classic Carnatic musicians in their concerts and have won popularity. Indeed not many are aware that Maa Ramanan in Hindolam was sung by M. S. Subbulakshmi in K. Subramanyams hit film Seva Sadanam (1938)! Cinema began to talk and sing Tamil in 1931 with H. M. Reddi s Kalidas produced in Bombay by the Indian film pioneer, Ardeshir Irani, the maker of the first Indian talking picture Alam Ara in the same year. It inherited the legacy of Tamil theater where songs ruled the roost. Everybody sang: the hero and heroine, message-bearing maids, comedians and all the king s men and women. Even the villain sang, while approaching to dishonour the heroine, in praise of her bodily assets, and the rare joys and rapturous thrills awaiting her thanks to his macho power! Even a dying man would sing before he took his last breath! (To be continued) 3-day discourse on Srimad Bhagavatam from Sunday Under the auspices of Hayagrivar Trust (Ph: 98410 18879), Cuddalore Muralidhara Sarmaji will give a daily discourse in Tamil on Srimad Bhagavatam at 7 p.m from Sunday, Jan. 6, to Tuesday, Jan. 8, in Rama Samaj (Ayodhya Mandapam, Arya Gowda Road, West Mambalam).
