DAM 999 - Will It Burst And Take The Unity Of India With It?
DAM 999, a movie released today
about a 110 year old dam,
built to last for a meagre 50 years using mud and mortar, which bursts during
an earthquake, is itself in the middle of a political storm and has caught the
world’s attention. The flick is about the Mullapperiyar Dam in Kerala,
an idyllic state in the union of India
and the last place on earth where people still believe in communism.
At the heart of the political
storm is a water sharing agreement for 999 years, irrelevant in any civilised
part of the world, which put the life of three million people. at great
risk, as it doesn’t take in to account the aging of the dam built to
harness the Periyar River .
Entered in to before the Indian independence by the British who occupied the
neighbouring state of Tamilnad and the princely state of Kerala, the ridiculous
agreement does not provide for the construction of a new dam to replace the old
one. The problem really is while Tamilnad receives the collected water for
irrigation and power the river actually flows to the opposite side to the
thickly populated Kerala and will engulf and sweep three million people if and
when the dam burst in a catastrophic earth quake as depicted in the movie.
The UAE-Indian film
has become controversial as the state of Tamilnad has prohibited its release
and exhibition in its cinemas, accusing the producers of scare mongering among
the vast population and the state of Kerala for secretly funding the movie. The
producers on the other hand are approaching the supreme court of India
for the obstruction of civil liberty rights and losses.

I hope it will bring out and introduce to the whole world, the genius of the great and inimitable Malayalam script writer and actor Sreenivasan and the secret of how his unforgettable scripts came alive and live for ever in the hearts of Malayalees through sheer screen magic of Satyan Anthicad, a great Malayalam film director.
Their work is such that there is no reason why it wouldn’t be recognised among the best of best in the world cinema had it been in English language! It is never too late to bring them such recognition and the onus is on none but the mallus themselves who are naturally bestowed with broad hearts.
The work of the pair will be remembered for the wonderfully natural characters it has produced on the screen with whom every malayalee can identify in some way.
This page is a place to share your unforgettable experience of that identity, the moments which made you laugh and cry and feel helpless in the state of affairs in God’s own land!
If the world should know, it has to be in English, even if it means your competence is at par with that of Sreemathi Teacher!

Will The New Facebook Profile Make “Nostalgia” Disappear For Ever?
Last week Facebook started
rolling out the much anticipated updates which were to follow their substantial
revamp aimed at catching
up with Google+. The timing was just right to create the necessary uproar
and interest among its 800 million followers and the rest of the world and make
them ready for the quantum leaps Mark Zuckerberg was
about to announce during F8, the annual conference of Facebook developers.
In fact Facebook went ahead and
implemented the change to its news
updates a few of days back which in itself drew wild worldwide reactions.
Though there seemed to be wide
support (more than 2000 likes and 100 tweets as received by this innocuous
comment, which raised the author to a HuffPost Influencer status) for the
changes, there were also avalanches
of protests from disgruntled users who objected to Face book’s arbitrary
choice of what the user should see in the status update timeline. One survey
showed disastrous results.
The main changes announced
concerned how News Feed will act more like your own personal newspaper, and how
you won't have to worry about missing important stuff. Because all your news
will be in a single stream with the most interesting stories featured at the
top.
The other
most important feature was a new Twitter-like timeline called Ticker with real
time streaming of friends' activity like “likes” of an update, comments on a
post or subscribing to a page.
Though these innovations looked
nice, especially visually more appealing with larger photos and suited those
with a large number of friends or those who visited Facebook less often to
check friend’s updates, they seem to have incurred undue wrath of loyal
members, threatening to switch to Google+
The protests were surely
following a now familiar pattern:
“In the
history of Facebook changes, the pattern has typically been that users complain
loudly at first and threaten to
leave the site but then eventually learn to live with, if not
like, the new approach.”
However, Facebook has announced seven
important updates in the conference, of which the changes to the Profile
page seem to be the ones which will have far reaching consequences.
In a nutshell, the Facebook
Profile page is becoming your life story, your illustrated autobiography, a
chronicle in which everything you chose to appear right from your birth day,
everything you posted on Facebook reflecting your daily life and interaction
with those around you will be available to anyone who is allowed an access. The
whole information will be nicely indexed, year wise and moth wise for easy
access.
The social impact of such a
feature, available on the 800 million members and possibly billions who will
eventually join the network is, at the minimum mind boggling! We may bid good by
to “Nostalgia”, or the simple joy of
discovering a lost picture, for ever, because nothing is hidden farther from a
mouse click!
