46 years of Rajinism

Cigarette, Coolers, Towel, when most of us hear these words one man comes to our mind. He gave an identity to every property he held, he made it special. Audience wanted to smoke because that man smoked. People started wearing coolers because they wanted to feel like him, everyone must have done the towel thing which he did at least once in their life. The man I am referring to is none other than the only one super one “THALAIVAR SUPERSTAR RAJINIKANTH”. IMPORTANT EVENTS In 1975 K.Balachander introduced Rajinikanth through Apoorva Raagangal. He played a small role in that movie but the audience noticed something unique about him. A review from  The Hindu  noted that: "Newcomer Rajinikanth is dignified and impressive" He continued acting in negative roles and guest roles for a couple of years, through that time he became popular among the audience mainly because of his stylish acting and his cigarette flipping.

Aviyal's top 10: Feel-good movies

This list contains the top 10 feel good movies of all time (in Aviyal’s opinion) If  you feel like some movies are left out, feel free to comment about those movies.  10. TOY STORY 3 Director: Lee Unkrich Main Cast: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen Toy story 3 is a kid’s movie which made men cry. While certainly Toy story 3 is not the best movie in the series, it certainly had one of the best climaxes of all time. Toy story ending was just beautiful and perfect, it moved everyone to tears and gave a really good ending to the trilogy (before Pixar undid that with a fourth installment). IMDb: 8.2  9. THE PRINCESS BRIDE Director: Rob Reiner Main cast: Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin.

It was released in 1987. I suggest you watch this whenever you are feeling down or depressed, it will definitely make you ...

These two words have often been described as “the best idea anyone ever had”. So what does this really mean? A dog gives birth to a pup, a cat gives birth to a kitten. We don’t see a lion giving birth to a wolf. If every animal gives birth to its own species, then what does it mean to say that Species Change? A hundred and fifty years ago, a young English Naturalist was aboard the ship HMS Beagle, surveying the coast of South America, collecting and studying the plants and animals that he found along the way. He also discovered a lot of fossils on the journey, and he collected them, not knowing which animal they belonged to. He noticed that the fossils resembled some of the animals that lived in South America, but they were also very different. For example, he knew there were sloths living in South America, but he found fossils of a giant sl...
