Great Indian Cinema Quiz

Too many sappai questions in the Great Indian Cinema Quiz. The questions were based on only Tamil and Hindi films, with probably 3 exceptions. Both Sana and I knew next to nothing about the Hindi filma questions that were asked. But the Tamil movie questions were generally very very answerable. Atleast I got a lot of answers in the finals. A big pity we didn't have a third member with some Hindi fundaes. We might have made it to the final.

There was not a single question asked on Vijaykanth or the Maestro. Now that is a big time sin. Otherwise it was good fun at Tatvaloka on Sunday morning.

PS: Now I shall never understand this concept of corporate religiosity or corporate spirituality. Tatvaloka had huge pictures of Shringeri Acharyas and a sculptor of Adi Shankara. But it is a fully air conditioned hall with smooth flooring, slick chairs and car parking basement. Somehow I fail to see what is Hindu or spiritual about all these things.

Exactly. Infact, kovilgalileye namma makkal behavior paatha it doesnt even remotely resemble "bhakti".
