It's the time of 'thalai's
Everybody who has even some remote contact with the fascinating city of Chennai will know what 'thalai' is. 'Thalai' is the short form of 'Thalaivar'(English translation - leader).
So then, two 'thalai's are doing great nowadays. This is a time when you have to remember them and thank them secretly for the entertainment they've given us.
Thalai No. 1 - Sachin Tendulkar
The boy-faced wonder has come a really long way. 35 wonderful test centuries, 38 exciting ODI hundreds. As someone wrote, he should be named 'Tondulkar'. Who can forget this all-India thalai? And, just in case he had gone a bit off your mind cos of tennis elbow, he came back with a bang. The 35th century that he scored at Delhi on Saturday(4.44 PM) reminded us of Sacin's greatness. Well, Cheeka is right - "We all know that Sachin is great but this century proved that he is absolutely great."
Thalai No. 2 - Superstar Rajnikanth
How many movies? How many mannerisms? What super isthtyle, as they call it? In the midst of young heroes trying desperately to imitate him, Superstar remains a pure one-off. Today is Superstar's birthday - Happy Birthday Superstar. Thanks for all the wonderful entertainment and joy you've given us - we treasure it. Though younger guys and girls may invade our movie-watching lives, you remain there at the top. If any one of you want to know the real essense of what Superstar means to Tamil people (and other people too, which includes people out there in Japan), just go to his movie first-day first-show. There's only one word to describe the atmosphere - electrifying.
Electrifying atmosphere. There lies the essential similarity between sports and movies. The essential similarity between the two thalais.
