dravidan gabtun

Nowadays, Gabtun never ceases to be in the news. I guess he is trying to overcome his disadvantage in power and money (compared to DMK and ADMK), by using the media to the fullest.

A memo was sent to all his party members instructing them to refer to him as 'Dravidan Gabtun' in all future communications. This is in response to Karunanidhi's allegation that Gabtun is not a true Dravidan. Gabtun has promised to defend his Dravidan heritage during the one year anniversary of his party. I can't wait for the stupid response to a stupid allegation.

Managed to watch Sudesi over the weekend. The director had tried a cheap imitation of 'Ramana'. Thanks to Gabtun, there were lots of unintentional comedy scenes. The real story
started only in the second half. Till then you had to watch the antics of Gabtun as an unemployed do-gooder who talks about duty and hardwork to doctors, teachers, policemen and
anyone in the vicinity with a functional set of ears.

There was one scene, where Gabtun is supposed to be working hard on his PC, while his mom is talking about getting him married while he is young. Guessing from Gabtun's appearance in the movie, his mom was either visually handicapped or didn't have a firm grasp of the concept of time. He was just scrolling up and down on the programs listed in the Start menu,
throughout the scene :) I guess someone tried to teach him how to teach MS Word or some other advanced software, got psyched by Gabtun's PC knowledge and constrained his actions to the Start menu.



Currently, all the three major parties are slugging it out in the Madurai mid-term elections. DMK and ADMK are pouring their money into the constituency. Gabtun is trying to prove that he is the king of Madurai. I hope Gabtun doesn't get too involved in politics and give up on movies. He shouldn't the deny the need of Tamil movie fans to see comedy movies on a regular basis.
