மயிலே மயிலே உன் தோகை இங்கே; ஒயிலே ஒயிலே ! Peacock in flight !!

 

dream girl !! மயிலே மயிலே

 

Only seasoned Cinema buffs would know that a movie by name ‘Mayil’ starring Rajesh, Rupa Devi hit the screens in 1981 and bombed in box-office.  

A peacock is the male of the peafowl species, famous for its incredibly vibrant, iridescent blue/green feathers with eye-spots, which it fans out in a spectacular display to attract mates, while females (peahens) are duller; they are ground-dwelling birds in forests, known for their loud calls, and are the national bird of India, symbolizing immortality and pride.

Dec. 31 was a landmark day for Peacock. The streaming service has been the home of WWE's library for five years, but that agreement was set to expire on New Year's Eve.  According to Fightful Select, the WWE library will be moving to YouTube. “WWE sources say that they believe most of the library will be slowly rolled out on WWE’s YouTube channels.  

The site adds that WWE most likely has a favorable deal with Google, since WWE has a rather large footprint on the platform. Some of these official WWE YouTube channels include WWE, WWE NXT, WCW, and the WWE Vault.   The extensive WWE archival content deal with Peacock ended on December 31, 2025; however, a limited amount of content remains, including NXT Premium Live Events until March 2026 and Saturday Night's Main Event through 2029. The rest of the content has moved to other platforms.

மயிலே மயிலே உன் தோகை இங்கே; ஒயிலே ஒயிலே உன் ஊஞ்சல் இங்கே

குளிர் காலமல்லவோ தனிமையில் விடலாமோ

தளிர் உடல் தொடலாமோ; மயிலே மயிலே…மயிலே மயிலே

இரட்டை வேடங்களில் ஹீரோ நடித்த படங்கள் ஏராளம்ஆனால், நாயகி இரட்டை வேடமிட்டு நடித்த படங்கள்  குறைவு.   ‘கடவுள் அமைத்த மேடை’  திரைப்படத்தில் சுமித்ரா இரட்டை வேடங்களில் நடித்திருந்தார்.

Here is the Mayilu, my dream girl, I have been chasing – pictured at  Thirunaraiyur Nachiyar Koil, near Kumbakonam.   My photo with background altered by ChatGPT.

Peacocks  are capable of flight, though they are primarily ground-dwelling birds that only fly for short durations.  A male peacock's tail may help him attract mates, but does it also make him an easy meal?  Scientists have long believed that these birds had to sacrifice some mobility in order to sport such dramatic decorative plumage, which accounts for 60% of their length.  Recent researches say – it is not so.   Peacocks can fly. They just do it very rarely (and very poorly). These birds fly for only around two percent of their entire lifetime. Even for the two percent of time that they do fly; they’re not flying very long distances. If and when they do fly, they kind of just take off. Their time in the sky is more of a leap or a gliding jump as opposed to an actual flight.
