Total Comedy on Counting Day!!!

The CNN-IBN - Hindu exit polls were accurate! Kalaignar and the SUN have risen back to power in Tamil Nadu. Though it is a coalition government, it certainly is a big defeat for Amma. Before the elections, she had confidently told during her campaigns that this will be the last time that she will be facing DMK in elections. Inspite of many politicians and kollywood stars joining the ADMK, kalaignar has managed to edge past his arch rival.

As soon as he became the CM, Kalaignar has brought in happiness in the public by fulfilling his major part of the manifesto immediately.Lets see how long this will go on.

Ok, here's the comedy part!!!

The couting was in progress and this was the status in CNN and NDTV

Tamil Nadu - 234 seats
DMK - 20 (won and leading)
ADMK - 12 (won and leading)

At the same time,

SUN TV
DMK - 49
ADMK - 13

Jaya TV
ADMK - 58
DMK - 23

:)) :)) :)) Wont these guys change???

Relieved ... this time from the bangalore heat!

Bangalore's hot weather ... This was probably an oxymoron I guess, a few years back ... Too many IT companies and hence too many jobs, people, traffic, pollution have done plenty of damage to the 'garden city' ( Wheres the garden? :-O ) ... The temperatures are soaring... and the countless number of vehicles with 100% pure kerosene add to the heat :(. Today was an exception though... From nowhere came the dark clouds :) May be they finally saw some hot chicks with original & natural beauty in the bangalore streets! For those who hate the previous statement, may be the clouds have a bad taste! Have never seen such a heavy downpour in bangalore ... Enjoyed every moment of it ... I wish the temperatures are going down and I will hopefully have a cozy sleep under my favourite green quilt!

No more election ads!!! :) :) :) .. Relieved...

Oof!!! Relief finally from the SUN and JAYA TV pre election campaign ads ... I cant say they were horrible, but it was too much... Ads asking people to vote for their party is fine. But, the two channels were crossing limits, I felt. Videos of the incidents that shook Tamil Nadu over the past years, citing the opposition as the reason, bringing up incidents of the past, ... were relayed continuously 24 X 7 ... I should have published this post on the evening when campaigning 'was supposed' to end... But it didnt! The same videos, campaigning, bla bla started coming in the form of 'news'! Jaya TV had news like 10-15 times a day ... SUN TV had a special news at 9.30 PM on the day before the elections. I cant believe how they just escape with the EC's notice. Shouldnt they be disqualified from contesting? I know there will be no one in tamil nadu to vote then ... ;) but still... there are rules to be followed, right?

Anywez, its all done! over and out! The Hindu - CNN exit polls have predicted a comfortable victory for kalaignar and co. Lets wait and watch! Exit polls failed in 2001. Lets see if Amma has a few surprises for us!

-TR

Cine-artists in politics is not a new thing to TamilNadu and the same goes with TR. He has been in politics for a long time now! Thought he has been with the DMK for more than 2 decades now, he has been in and out of the party. When he was out of the DMK after starting his own party in 1991, he formed an alliance with the DMK but lost to 'Amma' in the election. In 1996, when he was out of the DMK again, he tried to join hands with AIADMK asking for 11 seats. He was given only 2. So he quit and was back in DMK again!!

TR known for his 'adukku thamizh' (ability to talk mulitple sentences that end with rhyming words) was in full form yesterday in his election campaign (relayed by Sun TV)

'Alli Kodupadhu Amma, Killi kodupadhu Kalaignar' were famous when he was with the AIADMK.

Some bits from yesterday's campaign ...
"Ae Vaiko, Nee oru psycho, adhunaala nee velila poiko"
"Vaikovae, nee amma kitta aendhirukka thiruvodu, adhunaala alayapora theruvodu"
"Enna maadhiri oru sirandha buddhisaali , arivaali dhaan ya arasiyalukku vaenum. Edha pathi vaenaalum paesa sollu, iruvathi naalu mani naeramum paesitae irupaen"
"Sooriyan enraal udhika vaendum, Chandhiran enraal jolika vaendum, TR enraal paesikitae iruka vaendum"
"aen payyan paeru simbhu, avan nadicha sooper hit paeru kuthu, neeyum kuthu, sooriyanuku votta kuthu kuthu kuthu!"

Anyone having hopes of seeing a prosperous TN in the near future, you know what Im gonna say next ...

TN Politics ... big time comedy!!!
