‘மறக்குமா நெஞ்சம்’ திரைவிமர்சனம்.

கன்னியாகுமரி மாவட்டத்தில் உள்ள தனியார் பள்ளியில் மாணவர்கள் அனைவரும் பள்ளி வாழ்க்கையை கடந்து கல்லூரி வாழ்க்கையைக் கடந்து அவரவர் வாழ்க்கையில்  செட்டில் ஆகி விடுகின்றனர்.

இதற்கிடையே பத்து வருடங்களுக்கு முன்பு தான் படிக்கும் பள்ளியில் அதே வகுப்பில் படிக்கும் கதாநாயகி மலினாவை ஒரு தலையாக கதாநாயகன் ரக்‌ஷன் காதலித்து வருகிறார்.

இந்நிலையில் பத்து வருடங்கள் முன்பு படித்த கல்வியாண்டில்   அனைத்து மாணவர்கள் எழுதிய தேர்வில் பாஸ் ஆனது செல்லாது என தீர்ப்பு வருகிறது. நீதிமன்றம் வழங்கிய தீர்ப்பை கண்ட மாணவர்கள் அதிர்ச்சியும், ஆனந்தமும் படுகின்றனர்.

இதனால் மீண்டும் பள்ளிக்கு சென்று மூன்று மாத காலம் வகுப்பில் இருந்து படித்து அந்த அனைத்து மாணவர்கள் தேர்வு எழுதி தேர்ச்சி பெற்றால் மட்டுமே அந்த மாணவர்களின் தேர்ச்சி கணக்கில் எடுத்துக் கொள்ளப்படும் நீதிமன்றம் கூறுகிறது.

10 வருடங்கள் கழித்து அந்த பள்ளிக்கு வந்த நேரத்தில்,  ரக்‌ஷன்   தனது காதலை எப்படியாவது சொல்லியாக வேண்டும் என்று முடிவெடுக்கிறார்.

 ரக்‌ஷன்   மலீனாவிடம் தன் காதலை  கூறினாரா?  அந்த காதலை கதாநாயகி மலீனா ஏற்றுக் கொண்டாரா? என்பதுதான் இந்த ‘மறக்குமா நெஞ்சம்’ திரைப்படத்தின் கதை.

நடிப்பில் சின்ன சின்ன குறைகள் இருந்தாலும் பாராட்டலாம்.

நாயகி மலீனா நடிப்பிலும் முடிந்தவரை நன்றாகவே நடித்து ரசிக்க வைத்திருக்கிறார்.

விஜய் டிவி தீனாவின் காமெடிகள் ஆங்காங்கே ரசிக்க வைத்தது.

ப்ராங் ஸ்டார் ராகுல், பி டி வாத்தியாராக  முனீஸ்காந்த்  அவருடைய மனைவியாக  அகிலா.

கோபி துரைசாமியின் ஒளிப்பதிவு திரைப்படத்திற்கு மிகப்பெரிய பலமாக அமைந்துள்ளது.

இசையமைப்பாளர் சச்சின் வாரியர் .

மறக்குமா நெஞ்சம் மறக்க முடியாத படி திரைக்கதை அமைத்திருந்தால் நிச்சயம் நமக்கு மறக்குமா நெஞ்சம் அப்படித்தான் இருந்திருக்கும்.

Age No Bar for Major Neuro Surgery – Octogenarian Speaks Again After Four Years!

Kauvery Hospital, Radial Road, performed a successful Microvascular Decompression (MVD) surgery, restoring speech in an 85-year-old patient after four years and relieving symptoms of facial pain caused by trigeminal neuralgia. This surgery stands as a testimony to the surgical excellence at the Institute of Brain and Spine and is yet another example of the advancements in surgery techniques and anaesthesia to ensure safe and fast recovery in an elderly patient.

Mr Veerasamy, 85 years old, was suffering from shock-like pains on the left side of the face for more than four years. The pain progressively increased in intensity and frequency, to the extent he was unable to talk, eat or even brush his teeth and shave. A normally outgoing personality, this made him depressed and changed him so much that he stopped talking, stopped going out and stopped interacting with everyone, including his family. Medications did not work and even some medical procedures he underwent gave him only temporary relief. A chance conversation between his son-in-law and Dr Krish Sridhar gave the family a glimmer of hope.

Mr Veerasamy consulted Dr Krish Sridhar, Senior Neurosurgeon and Group Mentor, Neurosciences, at Kauvery Hospital, Radial Road.

“On listening to the symptoms described by Mr Veerasamy, it was obvious that he needed surgery for his condition – trigeminal neuralgia. The only issue was, considering his age, whether he was medically fit to undergo the surgery,” said Dr Krish Sridhar.

Trigeminal neuralgia is a condition where the patient experiences excruciating pain on the face. It is typically caused by a blood vessel lying in close contact with the trigeminal nerve that transmits sensation from the face to the brain. Due of the constant pulsation of the vessel on the nerve, the latter gets irritated and any sensation is then perceived as pain. If medicines do not work, MVD surgery is the cure.

Dr Krish Sridhar, who has immense experience performing this surgery, said, “MVD surgery is a low-risk surgery which does not destroy any normal structure of the brain. Through surgery, we simply move the offending (albeit normal) vessel away from the nerve.”

Mr Veerasamy underwent the surgery and on waking up from anaesthesia, he was completely free of facial pain. In his words: “I have got a rebirth – I can talk freely, I can eat normally and I can brush my teeth again!” His family is happy that they can hear him speak once again after nearly four years.

Age is not a contraindication for surgery, especially when the patient is suffering from severe pain. Considering the advancements in anaesthesia and modern surgical technologies available, if a patient is medically fit for anaesthesia, the MVD surgery is the best option for a long-term cure for trigeminal neuralgia.

Kauvery Hospital, Radial Road, is a leading healthcare institution offering advanced treatments and surgical interventions in neurology, cardiology, women and child wellness, gastroenterology, orthopaedics, joint reconstruction, urology, nephrology and other specialities. With a dedicated team of experts and state-of-the-art medical facilities including 50+ critical care beds, 20+ NICU beds, 7+ operation theatres, an advanced Cath lab, cutting-edge neuro diagnostic equipment like 3T MRI and 4K + 3D neuro microscope, transplant facilities and 24/7 dialysis unit, it provides world-class medical care to patients from around the globe.

MSDE hosts ‘India – Germany Dialogue on Avenues for Future Collaboration’

Chennai, 01.02.2024: Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) hosted a dialogue with the delegation from Germany visiting India, led by State Secretary, German Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (BMAS), Ms. Leonie Gebers. The objective of the dialogue was to extend further co-operation between the two countries in the areas of skill development and pave pathways for mobility of skilled workforce from India to Germany.

Led by Shri Atul Kumar Tiwari, Secretary, MSDE, the Indian delegation constituted of Ms. Trishaljit Sethi, Additional Secretary, Director General, Directorate General of Training (DGT), Ms. Sonal Mishra, Joint Secretary, MSDE, Shri Ved Mani Tiwari, Officiating CEO, NSDC and Ms. Vinita Aggarwal, Executive Member, NCVET, among other officials. The State Secretary was accompanied by Ms. Viktoria Holm, Personal Assistant to State Secretary Leonie Gebers, BMAS, Ms. Gunilla Fincke, Director-General, Skills, Vocational Training and Securing a Skilled Labour Force, BMAS, Ms. Katrin Holländer, Head of Unit, Law on Employment of Foreign Workers, BMAS, Ms. Vanessa Margarete Elisabeth Ahuja, Executive Director of Benefits and  International Affairs, Federal Employment Agency (BA), Mr. Steffen Sottung, Managing Director International Affairs, BA, and Mr. Stefan Baraniak, Head of Office of Executive Director of Benefits and International Affairs, BA.

The dialogue centered the discussion on harnessing India’s skilled workforce to address workforce shortages in Germany. It also made way for valuable insights on the new immigration law adopted by German Bundestag in June, last year and that which is planned to be in force this year. This new immigration law lays three clear pathways, a path laid by qualifications, a path laid by experience and a path laid by potential of the workforce. The pathways are formalised though the EU Blue Card, Experience Card, and the Opportunity Card respectively.

Commending the efforts of BMAS in the formulation of the new migration law, the Indian delegation put forward suggestions that would further enhance the mechanism of mobility of skilled Indian workforce to Germany through mapping of sectors with high employment or apprenticeship potential, mutual recognition of qualifications, formulation of a Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) or an implementation framework for Migration and Mobility Partnership Agreement (MMPA), establishment of a Skill India International centre that

would singularly focus on workforce requirement for Germany, collaborative projects for women in new age job roles and mentorship support for entrepreneurs, amongst others.

Speaking on the occasion, Shri Atul Kumar Tiwari, Secretary, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) said, “The India-Germany partnership,

which is marked by mutual respect and strong cultural ties, has evolved into a vibrant strategic partnership with flourishing collaborations in areas ranging from renewable energy to education and vocational training. We are actively preparing Indian candidates for global mobility and Germany is a country of focus for us. I am confident that this dialogue with the German delegation will pave new pathways and strengthen our partnership ever more”.

Both countries have been working closely through Indo German Joint Working Group Meetings and today’s dialogue lays a strong foundation and action points for future engagements, leading to fruitful outcomes.

Largecap: The Pillar of An Investor Portfolio – By Sidhavelayutham,Founder & CEO, Alice Blue.

Investors should always remember that portfolio risk management is as essential as striving
to meet the return objective. There are more than 5000 stocks listed in the Indian stock
market. It is a huge collection of a lot of microcaps, a few smallcaps, some more midcaps
and a handful of largecaps.
Currently, there are a lot of investors who might be thinking that there is no evident benefit of
investing in largecap stocks as the smallcap and midcap stocks are hitting through the roof
and becoming multibaggers by giving double or even triple digit returns in a span of months.
In this kind of return environment, it is very important to understand and recall the concept of
volatility. Smallcaps and midcaps have comparatively much higher volatility against
largecaps. If there is a black swan event in the world such as a war or a global epidemic, the
largecaps will be the one to balance out investors’ losses in other stocks during market fall.
Additionally, there are a lot of global pension funds and large institutional investors which
hold largecap stocks just for getting a regular cash flow stream in the form of dividend
income. In fact, as the standard deviation in these stocks is relatively much lesser, it saves
the investor from large capital losses during instances of market turbulence.
Despite modest growth on a yearly basis, the L&T and TCS of the stock market have been
exceptional compounding stories as the Indian economy rose to periods of super strong
economic growth, higher corporate earnings growth in a declining interest rate environment.
On the other hand, if one looks into smallcap stocks,say for example Brightcom Group there
are a series of days where the stock went through lower circuit/upper circuit patterns
bringing in more stress on any investors’ mindset. Additionally, there is a big issue in terms
of low liquidity when it comes to smallcap stocks.
If the risk profile of an investor is about getting stable returns, then there is no better choice
than largecaps. In fact, the investors can further cut down on their volatility risk by investing
in index funds. These are mutual fund schemes in which the investment is in the top 50
companies by market cap regarded as largecaps. The role of a fund manager is largely
passive here and the portfolio churn cost is limited.
However, if an investor seeks higher growth with some amount of stability to his/her portfolio,
then one should go for a mix of both smallcap/midcap and largecap stocks. The portfolio
allocation of these types would certainly depend on the individual investor risk appetite.

Dalmia Bharat Foundation Empowers 500 Farmers in Tamil Nadu withSolar Light Insect Traps, Promoting Sustainable Agriculture.


Trichy, 30 th January 2024: Taking a significant step towards the promotion of sustainable
agricultural practices, Dalmia Bharat Foundation (DBF), the Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR) arm of Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Ltd (DCBL), the leading Indian cement major distributed
Solar Light Insect Traps benefitting 500 farmers from seven village panchayats around
Dalmiapuram, Tamil Nadu. This automatic solar powered device provides a cost-effective and
environmentally friendly solution for pest control, effectively reducing crop damage, and
increasing the yield and income of farmers. This device operates completely autonomously,
utilizing solar energy for charging during the day and seamlessly transitions to operation in the
evening after sunset. The trap works by attracting insects and flies with UV light, causing them
to fly around it, hit the flaps, and eventually fall into a tray filled with water. Recommended by
the Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Tamil Nadu Agriculture University and the Agriculture
Department of Pest Control, this device is a highly advantageous tool for farmers, contributing
to sustainable and efficient farming practices. The training session and distribution of the solar
light traps for the project were conducted under DBF’s Gram Parivatan Project. Additionally,
100 vermi compost bags and 100 Azollo production bags were distributed to the core village
beneficiaries as part of organic farming practices.
Commenting on the initiative, Mr. K Vinayagamurthi, Executive Director and Unit Head,
Dalmiapuram said, “At Dalmia Bharat, we actively engage in farmer education programs,
providing comprehensive training on sustainable agricultural practices to empower
communities for a better livelihood. This technology exemplifies eco-friendly practices by
relying on the abundant renewable source of solar energy and minimizing the environmental
impact. By combining education and innovative solutions, we strive to create a positive impact
on farming communities, promoting resilience, biodiversity and holistic development for a
brighter and more sustainable future for all.”
As part of another initiative focused on empowering women and promoting sustainable
livelihood, DBF conducted a 20-day Aari embroidery training for 20 marginalized women in
Dalmiapuram. Aari embroidery, using a hooked needle, creates intricate designs, often
enhanced with Zari Zardozi—a technique using metallic threads for added shimmer and shine.
Post the completion of the training, the beneficiaries will have the opportunity to receive local
orders, potentially earning a monthly income ranging from Rs. 3000 to 10000. In the FY22-23,
the company provided similar training to 140 women beneficiaries from the surrounding
villages.
Dalmia Bharat Foundation spearheads community development with a focus on rural
upliftment. Under their Gram Parivartan Project it aims to promote economic development in

village households and qualitative improvements in the standard of living for
targeted families in a region.

The commitment of 60 days to process and approve will be truly possible only when we get all the papers and documents that are asked for from your side on time. So, to make things work, we need to work closely,” he added.

A report by Frank Knight and CREDAI Tamil Nadu was released at the conference with the State Ministers receiving the copies along with other members of CREDAI.

The report states, “In FY 23, Tamil Nadu, the second-largest economy in India, demonstrated a dynamic economic structure with the tertiary sector leading at 53%, followed by the secondary sector at 34%, and the primary sector at 13%. The state’s economy, valued at USD 294 billion, showcased an impressive average annual growth of 11% from FY 9 to 2019. Foreign direct investments and private equity inflows reached USD 81 billion post the global investors’ meet, affirming the state’s appeal. Tamil Nadu’s stock market engaged 4.7 million investors with USD 28 billion assets under management, predominantly in equity (59%),”.

“Notably, the construction sector, currently valued at USD 32 billion in FY 23, is projected to reach USD 208 billion by FY 47, reflecting a significant opportunity for real estate stakeholders. Furthermore, the manufacturing sector, constituting 19% of the state’s economy, is expected to expand to USD 374 billion by FY 48, necessitating 2.25 lakh hectares of industrial land. To support this growth, enhancing capital expenditure to 5.7% of the GSDP is crucial. The state must undertake a cumulative capex exceeding USD 110 billion over the next 24 years to ensure robust infrastructure for sustained development. Key advisory measures include targeted retail policies, leveraging textile strengths, and strategic promotion of tourism. The report provides comprehensive insights for stakeholders to engage in further discussions and capitalize on the potential outlined,”.

Mr. R. Ilankovan, President, CREDAI TAMILNADU, in his speech appealed to the Hon’ble Ministers at the conference to regulate, reduce, and limit the number of approvals so that the industry can grow quicker and achieve the targeted numbers, particularly DTCP approvals. Also, DTCP should give a revised master plan as the current ones are all outdated,”.

He further suggested that all approvals and payments could be made to DTCP instead of the industry dealing with multiple local authorities, this would lead to time efficiency as the delays in approvals result in a higher cost for the buyer eventually.

“The recent global investors’ meeting has proven to be a remarkable success, resulting in the signing of Rs. 6.36 lakh crore worth of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs). This development marks a significant stride for Tamil Nadu as it sets ambitious goals to transform into a one-trillion-dollar economy,” said Mr. W.S. Habib, Chairman – STATECON 2024 in his welcome address.

“Tamil Nadu has been growing in all trends and is at the forefront in this transformation. Our state has been an icon of innovation and progress setting benchmarks for others to follow other states. A recent report states that commercial space absorption is 11 million square feet. This proves Tamil Nadu is ranked in the second or third highest absorption of space in India when compared to other states,” said Mr. Sridharan, Vice President, South Zone, CREDAI National.

“Tamil Nadu is truly a cosmopolitan state, given our diverse dependencies on various sectors such as career development, agriculture, tourism, healthcare, transportation, and the intricate network of logistics and finance circuits at the state level. Our industrial landscape boasts considerable diversity, setting us apart from states like Bangalore and Hyderabad, where their focus is often singular,” Mr. Srinivas Ankipatti, Sr Director- Tamil Nadu and Kerala, Knight and Frank India.

“I strongly encourage all members, ministers, and stakeholders to seize this forum as an opportunity to initiate a departure from conventional thinking. Let’s embrace this positive momentum,” he added.

Mr. M V R Murali Krishna, General Manager, State Bank of India , said, “There is a huge growth potential for Chennai and Tamil Nadu as a whole, given the rich culture, industrialization, and excellent infrastructure. Housing growth serves as an indicator of regional economic development, contributing 7% to the country’s GDP and is expected to touch 13% of the GDP by 2025,”

Mr. S. Anand Secretary CREDAI Tamil Nadu delivered the vote of thanks by thanking the Hon’ble Ministers for taking time to be present at the inaugural session of STATECON 2024 while also encouraging the industry members stating announcements will be made shortly that will tremendously lift the morale and eventually help buyers invest in the real estate market.
