Hyderabad from the air. ♥️
I have sharpened this image up a bit so you can see Mecca Masjid and the Charminar at the center right of the picture.

In the early eighteenth century, if a visitor had walked out of the East India Company’s Fort St George, at Madras, and proceeded southwards towards the village of Adyar, five miles or so away, he (or she) would have heard, successively, English spoken at the Fort [although Marathi more in its cutcheri (office)]; Armenian, Gujarati and Telugu in the neighbouring Black Town; Urdu, Persian and Dakhni at the court of the Nawabs of Arcot, but Sanskrit mantras at the very adjacent Sri Parthasarathi temple (one of the landmarks of Sri Vaishnavism in the region); Tamil shop-talk and less-exalted Sanskrit chanting at the lesser Mylapore temple; Portuguese in San Thome and then rather more rustic Tamil in the Mudaliar villages somewhat inland from it. -- David Washbrook, Intimations of Modernity in South India.

I have some good news for my old maths teacher.
Now I drive a van delivering to Greggs in Hull, Grimsby & Bradford, proving that I can take pie to three dismal places.
I am extremely annoyed by this வெற்றிப் பயணம் that adorns all the bus boards in Chennai now. Slap it on as a sticker all you want, but don't take up precious bus board real estate. That extra 3 seconds could be vital for somebody to understand where the damn bus is headed.

Rajinikanth and Rashmika fly from Chennai to New York on Emirates for an international film shoot.
Business Class was 100% sold out, so both booked Economy.
Both have an identical 12-hour overnight layover in Dubai.
Rashmika wanders Terminal 3 all night, spends ₹18,000 on a cramped sleeping pod and airport food, and lands in New York exhausted.
Rajinikanth clears immigration with a free UAE visa, gets chauffeured to a 5-star hotel, enjoys a luxury buffet dinner, sleeps 8 hours in a king suite, and lands camera-ready. Total bill: ₹0.
Same flight. Same Economy ticket. Same 12-hour layover.
The only difference?↓

To me, Thevar Magan’s finale is the greatest climactic sequence in Tamil cinema. The lines uttered by Kamal and SN Lakshmi (“dheivam yaar thalaya kondu poachu paathia”), Raja’s score, Vaali’s lines (“sonnavana thane soozhndhadhinru paavam”), PC’s tracking shot in the railway station, gestures like Kamal falling at the feet of his SIL, all made it unforgettable.
Thevar magan is a great example of how much impact a scene can have on the audiance 💯
