Visu. Da man. I still remember the heady days of mid-eighties and TV had made its advent in Jabalpur and I had my first tryst with Visu. Sundays were usually reserved for unabashed movie viewing via old-fashioned tapes that took several rounds of tightening, re-tightening and the even more old fashioned but always reliable slap to make ‘em work on rented VCRs. That was also when the Tamizh uncles around made sure any preference of ours was brushed away and the inevitable Visu movie took place of pride in the evening part of the show. Ya, the trick was to get as many tapes as possible to ensure maximum RoI on the Rs 200 paid as rent on the player for a 12 hour period. Then on, anyone says Visu and I can give Carl Lewis a run for his money.

Ciara- you can still have him, I heard he’s about to appear next season on VH1’s surreal life, along with Vanilla Ice, the legendary comedian Chinni Jayanth, and Pepa (of Salt & Pepa). Dilip- what a man!

Alambadavan!
Max respec!
You are spot on on the Sundrasegar reference; one hairy fourth pillar he used to make. Can’t wait for someone to do a number on him on internet. Can you do its?

On dilip- he is multi talented that one, sometimes son, other times son in law, always the vomit inducer.

There is one important technical mistake that you have made. Visu’s third son is not Dilip. It is always chandrasekar in Kaki uniform, union member, with a great name “Kuriakose”.
And he is mostly unmarried or just then married, he always “kills” Visu by remaining silent, he stands in the final pillar.
Visu says “Kanna unna paathu na peruma padaernda”.

Dilip is mostly the boy friend of Visu’s last daughter who gives her a baby etc…
If you want you can dance on his(Dilip’s) graves. I am nobody to stop you. But don’t give the wrong reason.

Its a real tribute.. But, dash it, there is no reference to Kishmu..!! Any chronicle on Visu is incomplete without Kishmu

There is a friend of mine who is a big Visu lover, he roams around under the name of ‘Ambalavanan’..

PS: Dancing on grave with hob-nailed boots?? you must be a plum-lover..!!
