I'm still struggling with Twitter and I don't know that it's going to help me much as mine is not a money-making blog. But blogging/twittering etc etc are wonderful devices for getting to know new peoples and cultures. I already correspond frequently with 'chumma-kat' so I'm beginning to get quite interested in Indian culture. We're watching a superb series on TV here called 'The Story of India'. What colours! What crowds!Rinkly Rimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07890344869337115307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108332737182280632.post-82415756565135859262009-04-25T16:39:00.000+05:302009-04-25T16:39:00.000+05:30Too right, Viji.

KB's films were indeed somehting else and yessss I remember meeting Rajanikanth the young new actor who was doing the villain's role in the scene being shot "downstairs" . Thanks for this really personalised review . It was very moving to read about KB's tribute to Nagesh. How enriched our cultural lives have been thanks to talents like his.Vijihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14238730436295766322noreply@blogger.com
