Arun, Send this survey page url to Vikatan group. They will hang themselves. And that day would be the dawn for tamil nadu.

M Arunachalam said...

Suneel - Thanks mate.

SundarJi - Do you really think so? Even to hang oneself, one has to be provoked into doing so. Such a provocation will come only when one has some amount of self-respect & shame left.

I don't think these morons have either. They run their mags purely based on "what i get in return?" basis.

Anyway, I will send it to all such media sites, without expecting any of them to publish it. After all, they are all partners in crime - is it not?

Arun,
hats off for your wonderful survey. Please send it to all media houses and let them know what we think of them. I think calling them morons is a flattery as they are worse than that. may be we all should call anybody idiotic and with a perverted mind=vikatan. For ex Marans are vikatans

Hi Arun
First hats off for protesting against the media mafia in a most innovative and democratic fashion.
Did you notice something? The number of responses to Vikatan's survey is 6000+.
This is not a surprise when Vikatan group "claims" their magazine comes close to Kumudam's circulation. Given that Vikatan's readership might be in lakhs, this number is very small.

However, what surprised me a lot is the number of responses for your survey. It was 802, which is nearly 15% of Vikatan's. Given that you promoted your survey only mainly through Sundar's website (onlyrajini.com) and that too only for 1-2 days, this number comes as a big surprise.

I can clearly see that our group (fans of rajini) is slowly gaining the power/voice and this is going to be death blow to magazines like JV/Reporter etc.

PS: I long back stopped reading Kumudam, JV, AV etc... The stats I gave above about Vikatan's survey was collected from vinojasan.blogspot.com

Pradeep/Giri/Satish - Thank you very much.

Satish - I am humbled but NOT surprised by this overwhelming response of 800+ participation in the survey on JV.

As you say, its around 13% of what JV, with all its might, could garner. THIS IS ON ACCOUNT OF THE COLLECTIVE HURT FELT BY RAJINIFANS ALL OVER THE WORLD.

I have a feeling that all these things might ultimately turnout to be a BLESSING IN DISGUISE for Thalaivar & his Fans.

Let us HOPE FOR THE BEST.

I hate Gnani's article on rajni. He is a pessimist. He said Abhinav Bindra has not achieved something great that the whole india should be proud of.

His article about rajni was rather irritating...

Good job Arun.
