When the release of Viswaroopam and Thalaivaa were stalled in Tamil Nadu. Some, no, most of the ardent fans traveled to nearby states to watch the film. Some traveled on road, train and some even in air. Such an enthusiasm in films, in fact it is more than film, it was for their favorite actor. Most of people who saw Thalaivaa, didn't return to their home, that's different story!!

Most of the people living in Chennai are from other towns\cities. A vast population is from south and west of Tamil Nadu. People working in IT companies, ITES, Businesses, Marketing, Banks, Colleges, Hospitals etc, the list is on and on. In the list, I guess 6-7 out of 10 working class people are from outside Chennai. Conveniently cramped in this urban jail, who are prisoners as well as guards! I hope some of you on this list would have traveled to a nearby state to watch these films.

Any given destination in Tamil Nadu can be reached from Chennai in one night, be it Chennai to Kanyakumari, Chennai to Coimbatore or Chennai to Hosur. At the maximum 10 hours of travel on road. So on April 24th, if your vote is not in Chennai, will you travel to your village\town\city to cast your vote. Or you’ll polish the seat with your ass by whining about the non availability of saraku as TASMACs will be closed on the election day!

I know what you’ll do, pay extra Rs. 100 to get a bottle. Drink well and say Democracy is dead! Of course you are right, because you're dead longtime back!
