According to Dictionaries, Superstar mean;
1. A widely acclaimed star, as in movies or sports, who has great popular appeal.
2. One that is extremely popular or prominent or that is a major attraction.
• noun an extremely famous and successful performer or sports player
A widely acclaimed celebrity, such as a star of motion pictures or music, who has great popular appeal and is prominent, or who is a major attraction. These celebrities may include actors, actresses, musicians and athletes.
For the people in Tamilnadu, a southern state in India, Superstar means one single person – rajinikanth. Rajinikanth is not the real name of that person, still if u ask anyone in the state “Who is superstar?”, there will be a prompt answer. I am actually trying to understand how this unreal name of that person has become almost a household name. I will be using both the names Superstar and Rajinikanth exchangingly because I too hail from Tamilnadu, the state which knows Superstar means Rajinikanth & Rajinikanth means Superstar.
Rajinikanth is a cine star in Tamilnadu for over 25 years. He has a huge fan following which almost considers him as demigod. His potrayal in films was of an angry man fighting for justice, standing up for honesty, devotional son to mother, honest lover boy, affectionate brother mostly. He was doing the same kind of roles for 25 yrs. That was a reel image of his, which has gained him such admiration from his fans.
I am also doing the same kind of activities, same thought process for past 15 yrs.
Ok..Ok.. Cool down.. Was jus kidding..
BTW, apart from his reel life, he is admired by the industry people much as like as his fans. Now, he acts in 1 movie in a year or two. Still, that movie will be the biggest hit in the box-office in the history of Tamil Cinema. Rajinikanth himself has returned the losses occurred to the distributors who had immense faith in his films. He has also acted in few films without any remuneration.
I am a die-hard fan of his characters in films. On his real life I like the simplicity, respect and his style in doing things. One of my friend had a experience working with him closely during Baba. He is usually humourous in sets and keeps everyone cool everytime, a keen lover of solitude, does not expect hi-fi provisions for his proceedings and so on.
Superstar after his tenure of 25 yrs in the Cine Industry attributed his success to co-star Kamal Haasan saying “If u think I am successful in the field for all these years, its all because of Kamal”. He uttered this statement in front of over 10000 people on stage. I dont think no other big shot will rememeber the good old days. Such is his modesty. As his dialogue in a movie goes “I do what I say, I say what I do”, he is a man of deeds.
All the above mentioned characteristics of his are not to highlight the traits of the person. All these are the base behind the charm called Superstar. Its a brand now. A trustable, lovable, admirable brand.
“Superstar yaarnu kaetta, Chinna kozhandaiyum sollum”
This recent photograph of Rajinikanth inspired me much to write this article.
He is seen enjoying a speech on stage during the release of Ilaiyaraja’s Thiruvaasagam.
Me and my friend once had an interesting written conversation on the roles of brain & heart; whether an individual should follow his/her brain or heart when taking decisions. The following is the transcript of the conversation;
for brain (by my friend);
Thinking – a heart process? – the only way to think – is to think with your brain! Why? thats the only organ in the body that is built for that purpose.
Some people claim to think thru their “hearts”. Excuse me… the heart is a muscular organ thats built for only one purpose – pumping of blood. How is that related to thinking?
Now coming to brain – its built with neurons – “nerve cells”, only components that can “think”. The only other organ that can do anything near to thinking is the spinal cord.
So, how is that people say that some think with brains and some think with hearts..Simple reason, they didn’t learn their biology!
for heart (by me);
Thinking is obviously not a heart process!
Most of the people think with their brains ignoring the feel of heart.
Are we living for ourselves or others? I know we live for ourselves; I live for me.. You live for you.
Your brain knows others. It doesn’t know you. Its your heart which knows you and you alone. If you want to live for yourselves, listen to your heart, not your brain.
Then, what is the role to your brain? Make your brain listen to your heart. There comes real happiness and joy and it needs dare within to execute.
Every individual is bound to feel and think. Now Think, Feel and invoke the truth within.
GOD did not create biology, he created only hearts and brains.
Hold on.. Both of us are not biologists to define the role of brain and heart..still we did..
