shadows !! - Nizhal nigam aagathu !!!

A shadow can never come closest to its original !!  .. .. a shadow is a dark area where light from a light source is blocked by an opaque object. It occupies all of the three-dimensional volume behind an object with light in front of it. The cross section of a shadow is a two-dimensional silhouette, or a reverse projection of the object blocking the light. 

One may not instantaneously recognize the name - Mahalakshmi Menon, better known by her stagename Shobha! (1962-19800) - In 1966, Shoba made her screen debut in Tamil thriller film Thattungal Thirakkappadum directed by actor J. P. Chandrababu and at 17 won National award for film Pasi; then vanished away committing suicide. Malayalam film Lekhayude Maranam Oru Flashback is supposedly based on her life and death. 

                    Indumathi hates men and she is adamant that she will never get married. Sanjeevi is a friend of Venkatachalam and often visits his house.   Though Indumathi too starts liking Sanjeevi, she is too egotistical to show her romantic side to Sanjeevi as she doesn't want to remove her stubborn attitude "mask".  

Nizhal Nijamagiradhu ( Illusion becomes reality)  directed by K. Balachander, was relased in  1978 introduced cut-shoe among youth – it had  Kamal Haasan, Sarath Babu, Sumithra Shobha – and  was a remake of the Malayalam film Adimakal.  Adimaikal had been released in 1969, directed by KS Sethu Madhavan, starring Prem Nazir, Sathyan, Sheela and Sharada, to the music of G Devarajan.  The film was  based on the novel of the same name by Pamman.  The film was remade in Hindi as Intezar (1973) in Telugu as Chilakamma Cheppindi (1977) and in Tamil as Nizhal Nijamagiradhu  

For those of us given to a life of MS Excel and Powerpoint – a drop shadow is a subtle way to enhance a graphic or text. While you can format text and shapes with a drop shadow effect in a slide, customizing it to suit the shape or text is a bigger challenge.  In PowerPoint, you can apply a drop shadow to WordArt or any other text and emphasize the word on the slide 


The white-throated kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis) pictured here flying above water, is  also known as the white-breasted kingfisher,  is a tree kingfisher, widely distributed in Asia.   It can often be found well away from water where it feeds on a wide range of prey that includes small reptiles, amphibians, crabs, small rodents and even birds. During the breeding season they call loudly in the mornings from prominent perches including the tops of buildings in urban areas or on wires.
