Now this amuses me so much. If we could easily decide the fate of an aspiring individual who wants to become a singer or a dancer or a comedian by mere SMS'es and votes, why dont we use the same, yes, the same system for a few more things?
- For the state elections ? This will easen the whole hazardous process that the EC is put through!
- In companies, what if a CEO wants to fire someone? Am sure this system would come handy then. Or may be, everyone votes for the CEO himself
- What if we could choose which actor should play a particular role in a particular movie? That ways, we could get rid of the Sathyarajs, Sibirajs,S.J.Suryas, Vijaykanths and the like.
- Cricket, to choose the players of the team. I am sure had this system been in place a few months before, Ganguly could have saved himself. Poor guy, he had to go through the whole hungama.
Comeon, lets give the phone operators some more chance to mint some money. Take your mobile, SMS your vote to save these souls. May be VIJAYAKANTH or SATHYARAJ or your very own CEO. Send your votes to 8888 and save a soul.

BTW, naanum pona vaaram yellaarukkum msg panni yen friend kku vote poadunga in that chennai man contest nu sonnaen, adhunaala apun comment nahi kartha hai..
Somehow I feel that all these SMS votings are just for the sponsors to make money and not to decide anything. The winners are all decided internally and declared. Just to be more realistic these channels give a lead towards whose more close to the winning line and just extend the last few shows as if they are waiting for the votes to be counted. Ultimately he or she would be declared winner.
Funny part is the judges claiming that they did not have such a platform. God knows if they would be judging those poor soles if they had got one such platform!!!!
haha, very true that the bite of reality fascinates us to watch such shows... ultimately, every1 wants to know the 'pvt' life of some1 else.... I loved the concept of the movie "The Truman Show"
Such reality-based competitions and game shows are very popular in US. I too am a fan of most of them. In fact, those shows are lightyears ahead of our Indian TV shows... 1 of my favourites: some 10 participants are locked together in a closed house and they have this prize money of 1 million $s. they have a voting every 6 hrs or something to vote who can take the 1 million. The game is to convince the other 9 to vote for you. The catch is that the prize money reduces with time @ the rate of 1$/minute!!!
Abt the SMS part of it, I think its kinda "justified". Ultimately, its the pick of the most 'popular' in a media field. Like, a movie with the most popular actor is better that a movie with the most talented actor, right? though, it may not suit to choose the CEO :-)
But, Sathyaraja Vijayakanthoda saethadhudhaan konjam feelingsaa poachu! :-(
@ SRIRAM
first things first, thanks 4 ur complement.i was actually wondering if i shud use vijaykanths name here. allrite, let me put it this way, lets get him out of the movies so that he cud concentrate more on politics.and did ur chennai man win? i did vote for him just cos u sent me the mail.
@ PAPU
i dont even think our votes wud make an iota of a difference. but still, i have voted for a couple of shows too. may b i am mad!and the reality is that, no one need to be held responsible for ousting someone. every good or bad thing is pointed towards the public SMSes.
@ SMYLEMAKER
Vijayakanth peru use panninathukku explaination kuduthaachu. but i personally feel its time ppl like him bid adieu to films n films alone.and ya CEO part was a bit xaggerated, and that was for mere blogging purpose.u feel the SMS thing is justified? i dont think it wud make any difference with our SMSes. no one wins here xcept for the mobile network operators
amazing post, very well written sweetie.how do you think of these things.....sathyaraj vijayakanth pointers are so funny re and madam is becoming popular i thought i would be the first to comment, but you already have some comments. keep it up

@ CLUELESS
thanks a lot.vijayakanth kku ivlo supporta? enakku theriyavey illa.
@subh
aathaadi! I meant Sathyaraj is a decent enuff actor that he shudnt be discussed in par with our anjaaa nejam damil dhiraavida jingam Gaptun!!!
with the sms... its a way of telling ppl "Unlike in elections where U R paid to vote, here U shud spend to vote" :-)
am not 'aware' if SMSes are counted/discarded but have a feeling that they are indeed counted....
Subha nandri for voting.
He won the second runner-up.
Btw, Vijayakanth kku thamizhnaadae support..
If he had entered into politics 20 yrs back, then he wud hv become CM, PM and even US president and afterwards UN sec. Gen. aagi ulagamae thamizh paesa vachurupaaru.
