There’s a Japanese legend that says, “If you feel like you’re losing everything, remember, trees lose their leaves every year, yet they still stand tall and wait for better days to come.”

No one talks about how uncomfortable this is.

Ilaiyaraaja didn’t go after Meiyazhagan or Lubber Pandhu. Why? They played it right — got proper licenses. That’s the norm. So let’s stop the outrage when Raaja files cases against production houses that use his songs for movie mileage without paying royalty or licensing fees.

the book the lesson

Show up. Effort never betrays you.

one is threatening me with kids and wrinkles and another one is validating my self worth. i know who to choose

I had a brief conversation with the legendary Saroja Devi back in 2014, during the time of ANR’s passing. I still remember how she picked up the call & in her sweet voice, said, “Saroja Devi mathadthairodhu.” Thanks to my parents, I got to watch some of her finest work. RIP

hey trust me ..you don’t need to comment on anyone’s acne scars, dark circles, frizzy hair, thin edges, height, weight gain or loss, or any part of their body the second you see them. they already know.. they live in that skin every single day.. they don’t need a reminder. grow

Empathy burnout is real. I’m just tired of always being the one who understands

Directors should focus on storytelling. Don’t say you’re a fanboy at every interview. It’s kinda getting boring. Prioritize the narrative, not the actor.

Kind of liked #Coolie, which drops Rajini inside Lokesh's universe and just lets things evolve from there. The storytelling is quite focused, and doesn't pander to fans, though characters, like Nagarjuna's Simon, needed deeper exploration. The Jailerification was my main issue.

What y’ll saying?! I loved #Coolie! Mass mass mass! What else did you expect from Lokesh? His last few films lacks logic, but he SERVES 😃 Sure, there are loopholes like his earlier films, but entertaining! Poi nalla enjoy pannunga pa! #ThalaivarMass

The de-aging was well-executed! Upendra’s scenes were great but too few. Rachita Ram was a surprise… Kannadavaru mass madavre! 😉 Swalpa, Jailer-feels, though!

There’s always this bittersweet thought that crosses my mind… what if my life had gone differently when the opportunity first presented itself? Wrote something, something. Read! medium.com/@sharanyacr/wh…

The only good thing that came out of watching TSITP is vibing to Taylor Swift’s music again. Gosh, when did I stop listening to you? #TheSummerITurnedPretty #TaylorSwift

Corporate life requires an ass-licking skillset I simply wasn’t born with.

things were better when the computer lived in its own specific room and you only went in there sometimes
