On this boring Sunday afternoon, as I was flipping through the channels, I suddenly came across this beauty pageant show held at Chennai. It was a search for the girl who was to be Miss Chennai. There were models queuing up for the initial tests.
What I could make out was that they had to be minimum of 5ft 6inches tall, 34'-24'-34' in size, have a clear skin and be able to speak in English. I must admit all of them were drop dead gorgeous.
Many got eliminated during the initial tests. Those who got selected, were trained on how to walk, how to talk , how to carry themselves about and many other things.
When it came to the D day all of them were called and asked to introduce themselves. The whole show went off in a very organised manner and it was very pleasing to see so many beautiful women walk the ramp. Finally three were chosen as winners. One was Miss chennai and the other two were the runner-ups.
Then I realised something. Most of the girls who were to be called Miss Chennai didn't even know how to speak Tamil or have any idea about Madras(It sounds better doesn't it?).
In a state which makes it compulsory for every child to study Tamil at school, bans films with English titles and fights for Tamil to be the national language, relaxes its rules when it comes to its beauty representatives.
The entire ideology of Tamil and Tamizhan is confusing . Isn't it?
Any way tamizh thai vazhga.....

man, for once, I see someone talking good bout a beauty pageant... and rightly said, many of our tv anchors also don't talk tamizh as it ought to be spoken...
Hardly any Tamizh ponnunga, who would dare to come out and participate in a azhagi potti. Most are still conservative. It's people from other parts of the country who mostly participate. If there were Tamizh girls taking part I can assure you that Ayya will protest.
a wonderful thought..:)
keep up the good work and do visit my amateur blog and kindly leave your suggestions..
