puthiya vaarpugal is a 1979 tamil comedy , drama film , directed by bharathiraja and produced by manoj creations . this film stars k . bhagyaraj , rati agnihotri , goundamani in the lead role . the films soundtrack and background score were composed by ilaiyaraaja with lyrics by kannadasan , muthulingam , gangai amaran .
of the lot , my favourite ending is the one in pudhiya vaarpugal , an otherwise unremarkable movie that features bhagyaraj as a village schoolteacher who falls in love with a local belle ( rati agnihotri ) . after having the teacher hounded out of the village , the local bigwig decides to have the girl for himself . he makes it seem that she is having an affair with one of his cronies , and gets her married to him . on the wedding night , he asks her husband to leave so that he could do the honours , so to speak . by this time , the girl has reached a state where all that remains is a grim determination to do what is right by her — a recurring leitmotif in bharathiraja’s movies . up to this point , whatever happens is familiar territory , so when she kills the bigwig to save her virtue , i was not too surprised .

wait a minute ! wait a minute ! you ain ' t heard nothin ' yet .
most people would agree that bharathiraja was one of tamil cinema’s foremost directors in the late seventies and eighties , along with k . balachander and mani rathnam . but where kb and mani brought an urban sensibility and sophistication to tamil cinema , bharathiraja reinvented the village on celluloid . he epitomized earthiness . the acting in many of his movies was raw , almost too staged to be real . but somehow , none of that seemed to detract from their emotional power . i think it is because the stories he told were undeniably powerful .
in terms of storytelling ability , the man had one skill that was unmatched by any of his contemporaries . he knew how to craft a powerful ending . his trick was simple : he placed his characters in environments defined by very restrictive social mores , and for the most part , he let it seem like they wanted to play by the rules . even when they embarked upon something transgressive , like a love affair between two people of different religions ( alaigal oivathillai ) , they craved acceptance . he did this long enough and well enough that you , as a viewer , wanted the environment to accept them as well . and then , right at the very end , he pushed his characters to a point where they no longer cared , and even a simple gesture of rebellion had the impact of a sledgehammer .
what surprised me , though , is what happens next . the husband , who has by now developed something of a conscience , tells her that she did the right thing , rips her thali from her neck ( signifying that their sham of a marriage is over ) and helps her elope with the schoolteacher who has returned to claim her . he then takes his master’s body to a nearby hay pile and hides it in there , in time for the villagers to light it as part of a village festival , and then scurries away into the dark .
maybe it is because he is played by goundamani , an actor best known for his loud comic roles . but those last few minutes absolutely blew me away . even today , when i watch that movie , it seems just as surprising and gratifying .
brilliant analysis . i haven’t seen this film but i am ultra curious now . i have seldom come across a rustic tamizh village sequence being understood and analysed so beautifully . more often than not , we miss the finesse and the complexity of such a scene owing to an urban prejudice of controlled exposition . i have seen numerous tamizh films set in the village milieu that i loved but this freeze frame post has given me a new perspective to understand them .
people like sarath kumar have made a career out of the “mora pillai” idea but there is surely is a lot more to films set in rural tamizh nadu . i particularly recall being impressed with bharathiraja after watching vedam pudidu , kizhake pogum rail , alaigal oyivadhulai and seegapu rojakal . the last one being significantly different in story telling and execution compared to the other ones .
on a slightly different note , i am unable to recollect many hindi films post 1990 set in rural india . lagaan and jodha akbar being period films are not exactly in this category and neither is swades .
you’re right – i can’t think of a great village film in hindi in recent times . virasat probably came close , and that too was a remake ( of thevar magan ) .
there isn’t much by way of groundbreaking village cinema coming out these days in tamil either . there is the occasional pithamagan or paruthiveeran — a different kind of film to be sure , but thankfully just as fascinating . then again , the proportion of crap to good cinema was probably just as high back then — we just pick the good ones in retrospect .
in some ways , what bharathiraja brought to the table was a view of the village as a world of its own , with its ( sometimes strange ) beliefs and customs . some of it still exists — i remember watching the female infanticide portrayed in karuthamma with a sort of horrified fascination . while he used these customs sometimes as a plot device ( notably in kizhakke pogum rayil ) , it was clear that he took it all quite seriously , and that honesty somehow shone through . later movies mostly took the formula , but shortchanged the sincerity .
somehow i don’t think bharathiraja was as successful in making an urban film . sigappu rojakkal was more of a notable exception . movies like tick tick tick or the later captain magal turned out to fall woefully short of the mark .
semi - urban , i think . kesu is chosen over langda because of his connections t5o the student body , if i remember right . and that sort of a plot point might not make so much sense in a completely rural setting .
more recently , there have been movies like ishqiya , peepli live , dabang , well done abba , welcome to sajjanpr etc which had a rural setting . on bharatiraja’s powerful endings , i watched this movie kallukkul eeram ( in which he’s given credit for screenplay & direction supervision ) which too had a dramatic and unexpected twist . ilaiyaraja’s brilliant bgm in the last 10 mins led one to think there was going to be a predictable happy ending only to be jolted with a shocking denouement

sundar , my mom loves this movie so much . there is a reason behind it . i am telling u some thing bagyaraj was my moms classmate in mani highschool in coimbatore along with nizhalgal ravi . but k . b was in peelamedu where my granny ' s house was . and u know when kb entered movies my mom and her friends were waiting for hrs to get the ticket of the movie to see their school mate : ) ) ) ) ) she now wants to sakkarakatti . i told her its a horrible movie but still she wants to see her friends son ' s acting . . . . : )
hei ! thats lovely da . . . : ) : ) bagyaraj ' s classmate ! ! : )
this is one movie i am longing to watch . interestingly , ir had attempted something very unique in the song
thamthana thamthana
; the song has pallavi and anu pallavi but no charanam . that is even the charanams have same tune and hence , effectively there is no charanam . for more on the song , check this post urltoken i think even the parent thread would be of interest to you as it discusses some of the unique attempts of ir . urltoken
cha . . cosmicu . . appappo ipdi touch pannariyeyppa ! ! : ) that was a very interesting info . . [ will chek out the links once i get a better network ]
as said by every one , the song
thamthana thamthana
kindles our heart even now when we hear the song , the song gels very well with the scene and only ilayaraja can create such a master piece . u can see the mix of chorus , folk , indian classical and western in this song , i am just overwhelmed by the excellent composition of this song , one cannot imagine such a point perfect fusion of various types of strings , chords , chorus and rythm . only a talented music director can deliver such a master piece . even now many light music troupes find it very difficult to reproduce the same music , not only this song but many songs of ilayaraja are very difficult to reproduce . as clearly told by s . p balasubramanian , it will take another 100 years for another music genius to be born like ilayaraja . maestro ! we salute your talent . may your fame spread across all corners of the world
once watch . now , this is going to be long . ( has some spoilers too ) with kaala , pa . ranjith has rewritten ramayanam . in his version , t . . .
it all began in aug 2007 . now i ' m in a middle management role which is basically like that of a home maker - no one notices your work , . . .
the school life culminates in the twelfth class ( xii standard ) ; no wonder the stress levels of the kids also peak around the time . i vivid . . .

month 10 of drilling and killing . already making $ 1 , 000 . 00 a month with menprovement , com .
drilling into mexico’s chicxulub basin also finds shattered rock where underground life could thrive .
drilling and killing : chevron and nigeria ' s oil dictatorship is an audio documentary produced by amy goodman and jeremy scahill , mixed and engineered by dred scott keyes . the piece was first aired in 1998 on democracy now !
later this month a drilling platform is set to anchor in the gulf of mexico .
instead , it will be drilling deep into the scar that is the enormous chicxulub crater .
i walked from my corporate job last summer with absolutely no backup plan and nothing but “killing” on the mind .
democracy now ! won a project censored award this year for its documentary drilling and killing : chevron and nigeria’s oil dictatorship . today we play an excerpt from the documentary in light of new developments at chevron . [ includes rush transcript ]
the parrs allege that aruba ' s ongoing drilling operations , not merely fracking , created their problems .
the truth is that drilling builds up this instinct , this sixth sense that separates you from the pros and the beginners .
motorised molecules that target diseased cells may deliver drugs or kill the cells by drilling into the cell membranes .
anomachines which can drill into cancer cells , killing them in just 60 seconds , have been developed by scientists .
the author of the 400 , 000 - copy bestseller on killing reveals how violent video games have ushered . . .
later this month , a specially equipped drilling platform — dubbed expedition 364 — will anchor some 30km offshore from mexico .
i think one issue with drilling is that people think nothing is happening and you know what ? nothing can be further from the truth .
in one test conducted at durham university the nanomachines took between one and three minutes to break through the outer membrane of prostate cancer cell , killing it instantly .
geologists find clues in crater left by dinosaur - killing asteroid : the two - way scientists drilling beneath the gulf of mexico have hit the layer deposited when an asteroid the size of staten island , n . y . , hit earth . samples might contain details from that fateful day .
richard holmes wrote a key book exploring the nature of war . but the link between killing and war is like the link between sex and relationships . indeed , this last analogy applies across the board . all previous authors have written books on relationships ( that is , war ) , while this is a book on the act itself : on killing .
drilling into ground zero of the asteroid impact that killed off the dinosaurs 66 million years ago has uncovered the origin of its mysterious ring of mountains .
the us $ 10 - million project is funded primarily by the european consortium for ocean research drilling , and involves researchers from europe , mexico , the united states and elsewhere . the water at the drill site — about 30 kilometres offshore from the port of progreso — is too shallow to accommodate conventional ocean - drilling vessels , so the project has hired lb myrtle , a ‘lift boat’ that will drop three enormous pillars to the sea floor , then jack itself up to form a temporary drilling platform .
for weeks , they ' ve been drilling — and going back in time . each layer of rock they pass through is connected to a part of earth ' s history .
violence in the media and in interactive video games is causing violence in our streets , and the way this process replicates the conditioning used to enable killing in soldiers and law - enforcement officers . . . but without the safeguards .
a landmark trial has begun against the oil giant chevron . a san francisco district court is hearing a case brought by nigerian plaintiffs who accuse chevron of recruiting and supplying nigerian military forces involved in the may 1998 shooting and killing of protesters in the oil - rich niger delta . the protesters were occupying a chevron - owned oil platform called the parabe , demanding jobs and compensation for environmental damage to their communities . we play an excerpt of democracy now ! ' s award - winning documentary , drilling and killing : chevron and nigeria ' s oil dictatorship , and we speak with two activists . [ includes rush transcript ]
i continued that . when i was 18 , i realised what all that drilling time had given me . i made my first investment during the financial crisis , when everyone was panicking , i somehow knew it was the right time to buy , i bought and i made a killing just 3 months later . i continued that winning streak up till today . funny thing is that i wanted to quit drilling on my skill as i wanted to focus on my govt job and my girlfriend who hated my tendency to invest my excess cash .
the documentary suggested the possibility for the first time that chevron played a role in the killing of two nigerian villagers by facilitating an attack by the nigerian navy and mobile police ( mopol ) .
there may be a few such classrooms , but any teachers who start drilling - and - killing—and principals and superintendents who order such instruction—will be in for a sore disappointment . the best preparation for the kinds of low - level , not - very - difficult tests most states are giving is rich , vibrant , creative instruction that focuses carefully on developing the skill of reading and building the content knowledge of kids , so they can grasp big concepts and evaluate new information .
after weeks of drilling from an offshore platform in the gulf of mexico , they have reached rocks left over from the day the earth was hit by a killer asteroid .
after a brief hiatus following the killing , chevron has just resumed its operations off the shore of ilajeland . and chevron ' s contractor bill spencer says that once again chevron is bringing in the navy .
gilde said other residents also sued , but unlike the parrs , they merely alleged property damage , and settled . the parrs contended that drilling emissions harmed their health . they welcomed a jury trial .
offshore drilling for oil and natural gas near the coasts of the united states was banned by congress in 1981 . after the exxon valdez disaster in 1989 , there was such an outcry by us environmentalists that there was a continued ban on offshore drilling by the us government . in 1990 , president george bush sr issued executive orders supporting the ban . this ban was rescinded by his son , george w . bush in 2008 . but throughout this ban in the usa , the oil companies were drilling and flaring gas in africa in ways that exposed the complete contempt for africans and disregard for the lives of africans .
the only part i find difficult of the “drilling and killing” phase is what keeps you coming back after you don’t get it right . it’s true that a clear majority will not stick with it for the long run . the interesting component is to find what separates those who don’t from those who do . do those who stick with it reinforce their efforts with positive talk and affirmations , or do they turn off their minds and operate as machines ?
, chevron spokesperson sola omole acknowledged that chevron did much more . he admitted that chevron actually flew in the soldiers who did the killing . and he further admitted that those men were from the notorious nigerian navy .
exposed chevron’s involvement in the killing of two nigerian villagers last may 28th in the niger delta , when chevron flew in , in chevron - leased helicopters , the nigerian military and mobile police to an oil platform that was being occupied by nigerian protesters . what ensued : the killing of two nigerian activists and the critically wounding of a third . at least one who was put in prison as a result of that was seriously tortured .
when we broke up and i got fired from my job , after a short sabbatical sobbing and all . i made a determination like how i did when i was 14 , i will continue my drilling to be the world’s best asset accumulator .
upon its initial publication , on killing was hailed as a landmark study of the techniques the military uses to overcome the powerful reluctance to kill , of how killing affects soldiers , and of the societal implications of escalating violence . now , grossman has updated this classic work to include information on 21st - century military conflicts , recent trends in crime , suicide bombings , school shootings , and more . the result is a work certain to be relevant and important for decades to come .
chevron - - the san francisco based multinational oil corporation . last may , the company facilitated the killing of two indigenous activists who dared to demand compensation for the use of their oil - rich land
these previous authors have examined the general mechanics and nature of war , but even with all this scholarship , no one has looked into the specific natureof the act of killing : the intimacy and psychological impact of the act , the stages of the act , the social and psychological implications and repercussions of the act , and the resultant disorders ( including impotence and obsession ) .
i am now back , stronger and more determined than ever to be more skilled in investing . it’s my baby and i wanna be even better at it . i wanna drill and drill and drill everyday . i did it and today , i am still drilling . it is the first thing i do when i wake up and the last thing i do before i sleep .

the work also shows how , despite killing the dinosaurs , the impact may have created an environment where other life could thrive . the cosmic smash - up fractured rocks , opening up spaces and warm habitats for microbes to move in .

a widely used method to find oil and gas for offshore drilling can kill tiny sea creatures that are key for feeding many marine animals like shellfish , fish , and even whales . and the impacts on these tiny , drifting creatures — called zooplankton — are seen in an area much larger than previously thought .
below is a video of champion fighter georges st . pierre talking about how he is able to provide for his family because his avalanche of wealth came in after years and years of showing up and drilling and not giving up . now his family never has to worry about money for the rest of their lives .
three years after ken saro - wiwa ' s execution for exposing the relationship between shell and the regime , it has come to light that us oil giant chevron played a major role in the killing of two delta activists earlier this year . the corporation facilitated an attack by the feared nigerian navy and notorious mobile police on a group of people from a delta village called ilajeland who had occupied one of chevron ' s offshore drilling facilities . among their demands : clean drinking water , electricity , environmental reparations , employment and scholarships for young people .

, you know , in attacking peaceful villagers tells you the intention from the beginning . it was aimed at killing people on the platform and ensuring that every other person , every other community , will be scared from engaging in any form of protest against chevron .
ken derr responding to a question from amy goodman at the company’s annual shareholder meeting two weeks ago , where he was asked if would he tell the nigerian military to stop killing protesters at chevron sites . his response : no .
in a landmark legal victory that centered on fracking , a middle - class north texas ranching family won nearly $ 3 million from a big natural gas company whose drilling , they contend , caused years of sickness , killed pets and livestock , and forced them out of their home for months .
the study , published in the journal nature ecology and evolution , adds to the body of evidence that the loud noises produced during oil and gas exploration can disrupt marine life — including whales that use sound to communicate and look for food . it also comes just a few months after president donald trump has signed an executive order looking to expand offshore gas and oil drilling in the atlantic and arctic oceans .
but in a startling admission in a three hour interview with democracy now , chevron spokesperson sola mole acknowledged that chevron did much more . he admitted that chevron actually flew in the soldiers who did the killing . and he further admitted that those men were from the notorious nigerian navy .
a drilling operation seeks oil and gas through fracking in webb county , texas . a separate operation , in north texas , was blamed for a family ' s severe health problems , for which a jury awarded nearly $ 3 million in damages . ( eddie seal / bloomberg )
tuesday ' s $ 2 . 95 - million civil verdict by a six - person dallas jury is thought to be the first of its kind in the nation . other landowners have sued over drilling and reached settlements , but legal experts think this is the first jury verdict .
1 ) i’m the only one able to materialize my vision and it’s only possible by drilling it everyday , shipping it , and doing it again . this means working every single moment that is possible and not listening to the unsolicited advice of “finding balance” and “establishing priorities” that losers and girlfriends love to give . i let them walk and i stand proud , alone , with nothing . when things go tough i think of an injured beast that never gives up .
an oil rig called the deepwater horizon located about 51 miles ( 82 kilometres ) southeast of venice , louisiana ( united states ) exploded , burst into flames on 20 april in the gulf , killing 11 , injuring other crew members and sending a billowing plume of black smoke into the sky .
aruba petroleum , based in plano , texas , said it had done nothing wrong and had operated within safe and legal guidelines .
we contended the plaintiffs were neither harmed by the presence of our drilling operations nor was the value of their property diminished because of our natural gas development ,
aruba said in a statement .
at the time of the recording of this report , democracy now got word that sowere omoyele has been arrested . he was in the midst of organizing a memorial service for the two protesters killed on may 28 at chevron ' s offshore drilling site .
the exact nature of the cause of the explosion is still being kept secret by the oil companies , hidden among the multiple layers of public relations and engineering organisations that are funded by the petroleum giants . with each passing day since 20 april , the citizens of the united states have begun to learn of the unlimited powers of these fossil fuel companies who operate across all the territories of the planet . the semi - submersible drilling rig , deepwater horizon , was built in south korea but owned and operated by transocean , the world’s largest offshore drilling contractor , which is registered in switzerland . transocean worked with a oilfield service industry company , haliburton , leased by a british company , with the rig flying the flag of pacific ocean island , the marshall islands . this is one side of the international oil business , especially deepwater drilling .

in september 2011 , the parrs sued nine companies involved in the drilling operations , asking for $ 66 million in damages . over time , some of the companies were dropped from the suit and others settled for an undisclosed sum , said brad gilde , a houston lawyer who drafted the original lawsuit for the family and helped represent them in the two - week trial .
but i persevered ( with occasional thoughts of killing myself , i’ll admit ) and after 14 years of working , my salary increased by 7 , 300 % , which was very respectable even by us standards . i had a great job , flew all across the world in flat bed air - travel , had a passport the thickness of a quarter pounder burger , and with zero debts .

there is also international opposition from all parts of the world where humans care about the environment . citizens of alaska have opposed drilling since the exxon valdez tanker disaster . from bolivia , indigenous peoples are calling for all to build the people ' s world movement for mother earth . it is from the west coast of africa where the supplications for mother earth are very loud because the peoples of that region have always been raising fundamental questions about the safety and security of the operations of the oil companies . these companies have unleashed unfathomable damages on the peoples , the environment and the ecosystems of africa , and the oil spill in the gulf of mexico brings back the question of oil drilling in the 21st century . this question of environmental destruction is before the world , as the oil giants move to open up more deep water areas for oil exploration and companies prepare to open up deep reserves off the coast of brazil and angola .
it was simply a matter of time before the systematic destruction being carried out by petroleum companies around the world would reach the living rooms of the citizens of north america . in the wake of the tonnes of oil being spilled into the gulf of mexico and the destruction of the coastline of the united states since 20 april 2010 , there has been increased awareness of the nested loop of criminality and killing that for generations has been set in motion by petroleum companies .

disinformation and propaganda by the oil companies have been internalised by politicians who believe that it is necessary to ‘provide incentive’ for offshore drilling to the oil companies . glossy brochures and extensive linkages with the top business schools reproduce the fiction that humans must depend on oil and gas as the principal energy source for the foreseeable decades . even with the major breakthroughs in particle physics and in the technology to deliver solar power and wind power , the entire business model of the companies continues to be predicated on an ever - increasing demand for oil . in fact , the disinformation leaders of bp consider themselves so skilled in the art of manipulation that bp has been promoting itself as an environmentally friendly company , advertising that ‘bp’ stands for ‘beyond petroleum’ .

the room is packed with people . it is a sweaty , hot delta evening . little kids peer over the shoulders of their parents outside the windows as one of the elders of the community recounts their story . it begins on monday may 25 , 1998 . the villagers say on that day more than 100 youths from 42 communities of ilajeland traveled by canoe and speedboat miles into the atlantic ocean where chevron has an offshore drilling facility , known as the parabe platform . the youths then proceeded to occupy the barge that was servicing the platform . chief nicolas amamoais an ilaje elder .

there has been a recent controversy concerning s . l . a . marshall ' s world war ii firing rates . his methodology appears not to have met modern scholarly standards , but when faced with scholarly concern about a researcher ' s methodology , a scientific approach involves replicating the research . in marshall ' s case , every available parallel scholarly study replicates his basic findings . ardant du picq ' s surveys and observations of the ancients , holmes ' s and keegan ' s numerous accounts of ineffectual firing , holmes ' s assessment of argentine firing rates in the falklands war , griffith ' s data on the extraordinarily low killing rates among napoleonic and american civil war regiments , the british army ' s laser reenactments of historical battles , the fbi ' s studies of nonfiring rates among law - enforcement officers in the 1950s and 1960s , and countless other individual and anecdotal observations all confirm marshall ' s conclusion that the vast majority of combatants throughout history , at the moment of truth when they could and should kill the enemy , have found themselves to be

but the truth is that—linda eberhart’s classroom notwithstanding—vibrant and creative classrooms are not and never were very common . a lot of research has been done on this question over the past decade or so , and it all points to what common - sense observation also tells us : most schools have at least one terrific classroom—and sometimes more than one—but few kids have those vibrant , exciting classrooms in any given year . poor kids , latino kids , and black kids in particular have had very little access to those classrooms . for them , we run—and have run for a long time—classrooms dominated by worksheets , underprepared or overwhelmed teachers , and uninteresting curricula .

firing rates in vietnam resulting from training or
conditioning
techniques designed to enable killing in the modern soldier . from among thousands of readers and listeners , there were two senior officers with experience in vietnam who questioned r . w . glenn ' s finding of a 95 percent firing rate among american soldiers in vietnam . in both cases their doubt was due to the fact that they had found a lack of ammunition expenditure among some soldiers in the rear of their formations . in each instance they were satisfied when it was pointed out that both marshall ' s and glenn ' s data revolved around two questions :
did you see the enemy ?
and
did you fire ?
in the jungles of vietnam there were many circumstances in which combatants were completely isolated from comrades who were only a short distance away ; but among those who did see the enemy , there appears to have been extraordinarily consistent high firing rates .

high firing rates resulting from modern training / conditioning techniques can also be seen in holmes ' s observation of british firing rates in the falklands and in fbi data on law - enforcement firing rates since the introduction of modern training techniques in the late 1960s . and initial reports from researchers using formal and informal surveys to replicate marshall ' s and glenn ' s findings all indicate universal concurrence .
