The most trying part of the fest is in locating open spaces.
We lost a great one.
The campus of Lady Sivaswamy Girls School.
The school management has always been warm and helpful.
But this time, it said it couldn't help us at all.
We had planned some very nice events.
Readings based on the recent books of famed Thamizh writers. A philately exhibition on the occasion of the golden jubilee of the South India Philately Association.
And a show of film 'stills' from the collection of writer-historian Randor Guy.
Maybe we should now look for large terraces to host some of these events!
(P. S. - Randor Guy is anyway presenting a talk for the fest on Jan 7 evening at the Hotel Karpagam hall on South Mada Street . The topic is - Landmark Events in the 75 years of south Indian Cinema. 'Vintage Heritage' will enliven the talk with film clips.)
Randor is a regular feature at the fest.
What would you like him to talk on next year?
Share your ideas with us. We will post them on this blog! (Don't remain anonymous please)

hi,
Well I would appreciate if you guys could also pick a topic which has a good peep into the future. I believe India is going thro a very exciting time and the youth especially must be made aware of the opportunities thats available and also how to handle them. there has never been this kind of time made available to us after independence. Today talent and not the wealth one owns matters.
