We are aware that, Simbu and Nayanthara are married secretly though its not confirmed by them. Now the fresh update is Nayanthara the lady love of Simbu has presented a Diamond Necklace to Simbu's Mother Usha T.Rajendar.
Might be she thinks this will make simbu's mother to accept their love as Surya's parents accepted his love.
Imagine T. Rajendar reacting for this "Yei nee koduthae Necklace - Adhai paarthu sandhosha pattadhu en pondaati Face - En paiyan kooda nee panaradhu Kaadhal Case - Vaazhkai oru Running Race - Kalyanathuku iruku inum niraya Days - Adhu varaikum nee thinu Lays. Dandanakka - Danduku Nakka".

Letz crown this little prince to pull out more melodious tracks and wish him a very "Happy and Hearty Birthday".
Smashing answers to common interview questions.............
Question 1: So, tell us about yourself?
Undoubtedly the most frequently asked interview question, and one that
interviewees have the most difficulty answering. Your answer should be in alignment with your career objective, which means you shouldn't respond with comments about your hobbies, spouse or extra-curricular activities.
1. Start with a brief introduction. Talk about skills that are key to the position applied for. Sample: 'During my 2 years of experience as a sales executive, I have mastered the ability to prospect, generate business leads, and motivate my team members to reach targets.'
2. Provide a summary of your recent work history. Keep your response limited to your current experience. Don't go back more than 2 years. Sample: 'Most recently, at The XYZ Corporation, I was challenged with turning around a stagnant territory that ranked last in sales. I developed an aggressive sales campaign that focused on winning new accounts and nurturing the existing client base. Within six months, my sales team and I were able to
increase sales by 40 per cent.'
3. Tie your response to the needs of the organization. Demonstrate how your experience and skills are transferable to the open position. Sample: 'I have learnt about the challenges your IT department is facing and my background in developing software for leading companies will add value.'
4. Ask an engaging question. By asking a question, you gain control of the interview. Doing so will alleviate the stress you may feel to perform. Sample: 'What strategies are currently underway to reduce the employee turnover and improve morale?'
Question 2: What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses?
Highlighting strengths and accomplishments: Use specific examples to highlight your accomplishments -- explicit numbers, results and outcomes. Generic words are meaningless unless backed by data. For example, instead of using the word
'significant', use a number or percentage instead.
Strengths that interviewers are looking for include: . Committed: Talk about the times you may have sacrificed a vacation to complete an important project.
. Action-oriented: Quote an example from a past job where you drove the meeting, committee or project that was languishing. Or, when a deadline loomed and you came up with a way to reach the goal.
. Inquisitive/Curious: Show how curiosity has served you well in the last job. For example, when was the last time you knew there had to be a better way of performing a task, closing a particular deal or making a sale to a difficult client? How did your questioning of the situation find a solution?
. Long term approach: Talk about how you were able to see the broader consequences of a decision in your previous company. Your contribution provided a viewpoint that others had
overlooked.
The one question candidates love to avoid is, "What is your greatest weakness?" Do not give superficial answers like "I'm a workaholic" or "I'm a perfectionist." These are boring and predictable. Interviewers can even reply to them with, "That doesn't sound like a weakness. Now why don't you tell me about a real weakness?" So, state a true weakness that doesn't have a major impact on your ability to do the job.
Sample -- If you are applying for a non-managerial role: 'In the past, I've had some trouble sharing responsibilities with others. I felt I could do things better and faster myself. This sometimes backfired because I'd end up with more than I could handle and the quality of my work would suffer. But I plan to take courses in time management and effective delegation.'
Or, 'I am weak in accounts and had a tough time when I was asked to work on a project with the finance team. I have enrolled in an
online program on basic finance to overcome this.' (NOTE: You would not want to use this example for an accounting or finance position.)
Question 3: Why did you leave your last job?
If you left your last job under less-than-ideal circumstances, you probably dread this question. Here's how to handle it. Never lie. If you were fired, don't say you quit. A background check will reveal this lie easily. Don't say anything negative about your former boss, co-workers or company. Any negativity, frustration or anger will only reflect negatively on you.
Sample -- If you were fired for not adhering to a company policy: 'I was asked to leave for violating a company policy that I feel wasn't communicated to me clearly.
I should have taken the responsibility to read all of the company policies and ask questions about those I didn't fully understand. That will be the first thing I do in my
next job.'
Any employer would love to hear stories about how employees take responsibility for their actions and learn from their mistakes. Make sure they understand that what happened to cause you to leave your last job was the exception, not the rule. Provide references or letters of recommendation to verify that your job performance is above par.
Question 4: How would you��? (Problem solving question)
The interviewers aren't looking for a 'right' or 'wrong' answer to this one. They are more interested in understanding your thought process.
Show your ability to think logically and demonstrate problem-solving capabilities by:
. Asking questions to confirm exactly what the interviewer is looking for.
. Explaining how you would collect the information and data required to develop a solution.
. Telling them how you'd
use the information you gathered to develop and analyse alternative courses of action.
. Sharing your solution or recommendation, explaining how you feel it's the best option based on the information you were given.
So, go ahead and create a smashing impression. It's all about the right answers.
Never take some one for granted,Hold every person Close to your Heart because you might wake up one day and realise that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones."
Remember this
always in life.
.

We heard of a high profile wedding in september, and now another
wedding is due in december. Sonia Agarwal and Selvaraghavan are to wed
in december.
The boy's parents have contacted the girl's family and they are keen on
seeing the wedding solemnise in december. Heard they have already set
the deadline for the shubh muhurat. So finally the happening pair have
laid the rumours to rest.
I know a lot of people who wonât watch Selvaraghavan movies. Iâll tell them heâs the most excitingly raw filmmaker in Tamil cinema today, that even if his films donât hold up as a whole there are enough individual moments of brilliance â but they just wonât go to his cinema because of the kind of lowlives his protagonists are. I know Iâm treading on thin ice here, but at the heart of this is the whole high-class versus low-class business. A lot of people mistake Selvaraghavanâs movies for low-class movies â that is, the movies created for the sweepers and the factory workers and the ayahs and the auto drivers. Theyâll watch Mani Ratnamâs Aayitha Ezhuthu, where Madhavanâs lowlife is presented in impressively art-directed squalor, but they canât bring themselves to watch 7G Rainbow Colony because the hero says the heroine regards him as âtherula kadakkara saani.â In other words, crassness in a character is apparently okay,
but crassness in the presentation isnât.
But this crassness is the key to Selvaraghavanâs work; itâs why his films get under your skin like a nagging itch. Pudhupettai charts the rise-through-the-ranks of a hoodlum named âKokkiâ Kumar (Dhanush), and the early parts of the film show Kumar as a schoolboy. (Yes, a crass schoolboy.) In one scene, heâs trying to outrun his mother whoâs after him with a cane, and yet, when he passes a pubescent girl, he stops momentarily to leer, âEnna, vayasukku vandhuttiya?â Youâll never find this happening in a Mani Ratnam movie, because his instincts are resolutely middle-class; a respect for women is ingrained in him. Yet, you have to admit that this is what someone like âKokkiâ Kumar, who grows up in the slums, is likely to do. As a member of the middle-class, as a member of the balcony audience, you cringe at this moment, but at the same time, you are grateful for the visceral reaction it produces â no, provokes â in you.
No wonder, then, that the first song in the movie goes Enga area ulla varaadhey! This could almost be a warning to a certain section of the audience, because Kumar and his cronies say that Pudhupettai, Vyasarpadi, Ennore and Kasimedu are their areas, while Anna Nagar, KK Nagar, T Nagar and Boat Club are ours. But the thing about this film â as with all of Selvaraghavanâs films â is that it may be about them, but it isnât necessarily only for them. Anyone with an interest in cinema would be part of the audience for Pudhupettai, because itâs been made with brains and a vision. Right from the first scene in a jail cell, you can see Selvaraghavan knows exactly what heâs doing. The right half of the screen is lit in a lurid red, the left in an equally lurid, phosphorescent green. You think the frame, the image, perhaps indicates the split-personality of Kumar (whoâs in the cell), but much, much later, when Kumar gets into politics,
Selvaraghavan zooms in on a map of Chennai; the areas that belong to Kumar are in green, his rivalâs are in red.
This is just a tiny visual payoff, but the major innovation of Pudhupettai â other than the fact that it asks us to invest in a protagonist whoâs basically a sewer rat with no redeeming qualities â is in its telling. The heavily melodramatic story is narrated as a series of flashbacks, and Selvaraghavan doesnât let his scenes play out so much as let them fade in and fade out, making them seem like random bursts of memory. (Thatâs why thereâs no beginning-middle-end feel; the climax doesnât wrap the movie up with a neat bow so much as set it adrift on a different course.) Early on, for instance, you see in the background Kumarâs mother being slapped by her husband; the screen turns black, then when sheâs serving her son dinner, her cheek is swollen. End of moment. (Many of these sequences do not have a background score, though I couldnât see why because there are other places where Yuvan Shankar Raja goes rather overboard with
symphonic swells. Somehow, it doesnât sound right when the lives of these people are underscored by horns and cellos.)
Selvaraghavan shows an impressive feel for his material, and there are as many scenes that exist at a level of poetry as there are that play rousingly to the gallery, especially the song sequences. Yuvanâs chartbusters are so smoothly blended in, I couldnât pick out the point where, say, the dialogue ended and the Variya number began. The energy of the dancers seems to spill over to every nook and corner of the slum. And though this isnât the kind of film that warrants a comedy track, there are surprising laughs throughout. The best segment in the movie shows Kumar being taught how to carry out a hit â heâs being trained by a senior hood, in a twisted variation of a senior police officer showing a rookie cop the ropes â and itâs funny and scary at once, just like the other bit thatâs at once funny and horrifying. (A member of Kumarâs gang â one of a dazzling array of relatively unknown character actors â recalls asking his
mother
why she lay down beside the tailor whenever his father was out; he got a bucket of scalding water for an answer.) Thereâs a lighter side to these mean streets, all right; itâs just tinged with blood (or maybe hot water).
As is inevitable in movies dealing with gangsters â and this is merely a reflection of our society today â thereâs a point after which politics slowly creeps in. Till then, weâve seen Kumarâs life with his parents, his life with a local prostitute (played with enormous dignity by Sneha), but soon the story shifts from the personal to the political, and then back to the personal, and then again to the political... This may be one of the big miscalculations of Selvaraghavan, for however fresh and exciting the way he presents these events, the life and times of a party hoodlum arenât exactly new to us. Thereâs little here we havenât seen earlier, or cannot predict. The self-indulgently arty pacing in these scenes doesnât help either. These are the times the film looks like it has nowhere to go, and is getting there extremely slowly.
The other problem is Dhanush. He certainly looks the part, because Kumar is described as âpencil-la kodu potta maadhiri,â but more than the physical appearance, Kumar needs to look like a kid who gets no respect from the grown-ups. He may lop off hands and chop off heads, but there are others around him who have done all this and more, and they canât digest taking orders from this skinny newbie. And everywhere that Dhanush is required to be a still presence, heâs fine. Heâs actually more than fine in his scenes with Sonia Agarwal, whoâs presented â as she was in 7G Rainbow Colony â as this ideal object of desire, a contrast from Kumar in every imaginable way.
But Kumar is also made to do things like talk directly to the audience, and at places like this (and where heâs required to rave and rant), Dhanush is so self-consciously showy, itâs hard to take. But thatâs also probably the character itself, for it isnât everyday we get to watch a Tamil movie where the only instincts the protagonist possesses are those of an animal. Kumar needs food and sex, he knows fear, he can express rage, heâll do anything to save his skin, and... thatâs it. Even the emotions he displays towards the prostitute heâs with seem more territorial than anything else; I wasnât sure that he ever loved her, just that he didnât want to share her with anyone else. Itâs only when he has a child that we see glimmers of selfless emotion for another person; after all, even animals have feelings for their young.
With a better lead, and with a little less self-indulgence, Pudhupettai could have been something of a mood masterpiece, but even as it is, itâs a fascinatingly idiosyncratic work. Selvaraghavan may have borrowed an image of a man being pushed into a freshly-dug grave from Zhang Yimouâs Shanghai Triad, and there may be a nod to Coppolaâs Godfather Part II in the courtroom sequence where Kumar intimidates a witness whoâs turned approver by bringing the latterâs mother to the courtroom â if he squeals, sheâll die â but this is largely a very fresh, very original work. You can see it in the colours used; theyâre loud, yes, not in a T Rajendar-art-direction way, but in a way that suggests that theyâve leapt out of your subconscious. A good portion of Pudhupettai works at that very primal level, the way folk art does. I know thereâll be lots of people whoâll turn up their noses and stay away, but that doesnât change the fact
that,
for all its flaws, this is very high-class filmmaking.
Sriram (Srikanth in Tamil), who earlier acted in the film of âOkariki Okaruâ directed by Rasool, is the second lead in the film âAadavari Matalaku Ardhaley Veruleyâ, which is triangle love story.
The film has Venkatesh and Trisha playing the lead roles. Selvaraghavan directs the film and music is by Yuvan Shanker Raja. The producers are Sanam Naga Ashok Kumar and N.V.Prasad.
Sriram has also signed another project to be produced by S.K.Basheed on Bajju Arts Production.
Meanwhile, S.K.Basheed is producing the film âAllare Allariâ, starring Venu and Naresh in the lead roles.
Everyone knows that Venkatesh new film is Aadavari Matalaku Ardhaley Veruley (AMAV).
This Selvaraghavan directed venture was initially set to feature Jyothika as the heroine. As India Glitz reported last week itself, Trisha is now playing the heroine.
But there are also other speculations about the movie, which began shooting from today.
Sources said that the movie has one more heroine.
So who
will play that?
Well, initially the smart money was on the hot and happening Ileana.
But her busy commitments have put paid to that ideas.
Then Kamalini Mukherjee, who redeemed herself through Godavari, was in the reckoning.
Apparently, the chirpy Asin elbowed her at the last moment.
As of now, the ebullient girl, who had acted with Venkatesh in Gharashana, is the front-runner for the role.
But the final word has not spoken yet.
The situation is expected to clear today or tomorrow. So watch this space for more.
NV Prasad and Sanam Naga Ashok Kumar are producing AMAV on Sri Sai Deva Productions banner.
The one that was the most talked about was Selvaraghvan's Pudupettai. No other film in 2006 had such a bumper opening, and it was not fans of Dhanush who made this possible, but fans of director Selvaraghavan. Still, the film is not as huge a hit as his earlier Kadal Kondein or 7 G Rainbow Colony.
The biggest compliment Pudupettai got was from Cameron Bailey, Film Programmer for the Toronto Film Festival. He showered it with praise, although most residents of Tamil Nadu felt it had an overdose of blood and violence.
Trisha is Venky's heroine!
By Moviebuzz | Friday, 14 July , 2006, 09:13
Trisha is Venkatesh's heroine in Selvaraghavan's first Telugu movie
Aadavari Matalaku Ardhalu Verule (AMAV). In fact Trisha has replaced
Jyothika who was to play the heroine when the film was announced
almost a year back!
Trisha and Venkatesh are coming together for the first time in AMAV.
After hearing a narration from Selvaraghavan, Trish fell in love with
the character of a modern day aggressive working girl set in a metro
city. It is said to be a meaty role and Trisha is all excited about
the project.
AMAV will start rolling on July 21 at a huge set erected at Nakram
Guda studios in Hyderabad. Trisha who is currently working on Stalin
and Sainikudu two big budget films will join AMAV unit only by
mid-August.
** i am totally in shock i relly wanted jo to do this movie......
relly upsetting wat u all think?

Yes, Selva has officially announced his marriage with Sonia in October this year. In fact, he was waiting for the Puthupettai to get completed and released. Now that Puthupettai is through, the marriage thought has cropped up.
This is not really a surprising news for the all powerful media, who have already smelled the romance between the pair, much much earlier.
Sonia's plate is empty, now. She has completed all her pending films. Thiruttu Payale and Puthupettai being her latest releases.
Dhanush appreciated by all for his outstanding performance in Puthupettai ventures to the next film "Jogi", a remake of Kannada movie "Jogi" which was a blockbuster.
Cameraman is Arjun, screenplay and dialogues are taken care by Prabhakar. Choreographer Raju Sundaram shifts ground like brother Prabhu Deva into directing movies. Yuvan Shankar Raja scores the music for the film. The theme revolves around affection between mother and son.
Post Pudhupettai, Dhanush is a happy and a relieved man.
Says Dhanush, 'Thanks to my fans and my brother Selvaraghavan, I am a relieved man today. My Pudhupettai is speaking for me in all theatres'.
The movie on gangsters directed by Selvaraghavan showcased
Dhanush's skills in performing complex role with ease.
Heaping praises on Selvaraghavan, Dhanush, says, 'It is indeed a movie which has come really well thanks to Selvaraghavan's dedication. His films had always helped me go one place above in my career. Pudhupettai is no different'.
'My comfort level was high working with him and he knows to extract work from me and I feel happy to give my best for such directors'.
The success of Pudhupettai has emboldened Dhanush to concentrate on his next Thiruvilayadal directed by Boopathy Pandian.
I AM NOT THE BEST BUT I AM NOT LIKE REST !!

Selvaraghavan is the modern master in Tamil films. There is a gritty realism in all his movies as he likes to show them as they are. He does not go stylized showcasing. Instead, he intelligently and interestingly tells you the seamier side of life, without bothering to softening the rough edges.
His latest movie Puthupettai is no exception. His skill --- he has brough a new idiom to Tamil filmmaking -- shines through like summer sun.
Dhanush, his brother, has given the right expressions to it all.
Here Selvaraghavan, Dhanush and Soni Agarwal talk about the film and the making of it.

Selvaraghavan has finally decided to tie the knot with...who else...Sonia Agarwal! The wedding is to take place in October. The gossip mill can finally come to rest.
Taken in digital, 'Pudupettai' that uses Super 35 mm film, symphony orchestra and many technical treatments is running now in the Sathyam complex, Chennai. Selvaraghavan came for the function with his technical wizards. "The film is about underworld dons. This story will look better when viewed in digital format. This will not suit if I make a romantic film," said Selvaraghavan.
After talking about his work, he was asked about his love life. "I think this is the right time for me to get married. The wedding will take place in October." In a few months, Aishwarya and Dhanush will become parents. When such is the case with the younger brother, should not the older brother at least get married? Selva gave in to parental pressure and assented to the wedding.
Hi everyone
hope u all would have seen Pudhupettai...
Well when i watched the movie fierst time(on its release date) i
felt that selva has made a blunder .....
but when i watched it again i recognized that it is the best
gangster movie ever made in tamil...
He has taken us to the next dimension... thats for sure..
so everyone post ur comments after watching it again.
My opinion:
It is definitely better than the so called best (nayagan)
, Pudhupettai portrayed the evolution of " Kokki kumar " in a
better way than what nayagan made.
Those who watch movies without knowing the directoprs will agree my
fact,bcos here every1 will say that nayagan is better only bcos of
manirathnam...
those who dont agree with my opnion can very well reply to this...
Selvaraghavan : The Best Director i've ever seen .
With love
Srivatsan.M
