Tailpiece …. Few Good Comments for this story on rediff.com site…. you may like to see and smile ….

“The long intervals between TV programs. A typical Chennai DD week was like this; learning to write Tamil on Mondays with that delighful man, Mr. Nannan. The 1 hour drama on Tuesdays, some good, some not so good. Chitrahar on Wednesday, Oliyum Oliyum on Friday, Hindi films on Saturday, A long drama or Charlie Chaplin on Sunday mornings, news for the hearing impaired in the afternoons, followed by regional award winning films guaranteed to put you to sleep. Then the Sunday evening Tamil movie. The thing is the TV was silent for most of the day. I really appreciate it now and keep the TV off for most of the time. Believe me, I enjoy it. Hey what do you guys say, switch off your TV’s. Life is much better”    from one Balaji Krishnamurthy !!!
