Singampuli proves he is a good comedian and has more in store

Actor Singampuli who has acted in a role that is almost to that of a hero in the last week’s solo release ‘Naalu Policum Nalla Irundha Oorum’ started as a supporting actor and he was slowly started getting noted as a good comedian.

Singampuli’s first acting attempt was in director Bala’s 2009 film ‘Naan Kadavul’. Then he played the role of a grown up kid in ‘Mayandi Kudumbathar’ that turned heads towards him as an actor. He slowly developed as a notable comedian with his performance in films ‘Goripalayam’, ‘Eththan’ etc which are mostly set up in rural background. In Ezhil directed ‘Manam Kothi Paravai’ his performance as a friend of Sivakarthikeyan who gets into the hands of villains for the hero’s mistake brought the roofs down and helped Singampuli cement his position as a comedian. Then he became a regular cast member in Ezhil films and his comedy in ‘Desinguraja’ and ‘:Vellaikaradurai’ evoked huge laugher in theatre halls.

Singamupuli has acted in many films in the last couple of years including Vikram Prabhu’s ’Sigarama Thodu’. In most of these films he appeared in just one or two scenes and made an impact with his brand of comedy.
Singampuli possesses a unique dialogue delivery, tone and a body language the traits essential for achieving big in comedy. Though his mainstay seems to be innocent and slapstick comedy, he has showed his ability to mouth satirical verses with the right punch and make people laugh.

His most recent film ‘Naalu Policum Nalla Irundha Oorum’ has proved that he can carry even the emotional and serious scenes very well a rare attribute that was seen with veteran comedians Nagesh and Vadivelu.

And it would be surprising to note that Singampuli did not enter the film industry as an actor. He worked as an assistant director to Sundar.C and Bala. He has also directed two films with Ajith and Suriya.

Doctors say misconceptions about dog bites linger, more awareness needed in the community

Several years ago, a dog bite meant getting 16 shots of an anti-rabies vaccine on the abdomen. Today, with advanced care, the shots are down to just four or five to prevent the onset of rabies, a deadly viral disease. But misconceptions surrounding what to do when bitten by a dog still linger.

“Many people continue to follow old remedies that are ineffective. Some apply erukkam paal, coffee powder, mud and cow dung on the dog bite. Some tie a piece of cloth above the wound thinking it will arrest the spread of infection. The only thing to do is wash the wound with soap under running water for 15 minutes. Antiseptic solution can then be applied, but medical help must be sought immediately,” said S. Raghunanthanan, professor of medicine, Madras Medical College (MMC) and Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital (GH).

Globally, 55,000 people die every year due to rabies. Sixty per cent of these are aged 15 years or below. In India, rabies causes 20,000 deaths every year.

At GH, 95 per cent of animal bite cases are dog bites. The hospital receives 50 to 70 cases of animal bites a day, Dr. Raghunanthanan said.

To prevent rabies, four to five doses of anti-rabies vaccine are administered on the 0, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days of a bite.

“We abandoned the 16-dose vaccine years ago. The present vaccine is safe and it’s the only way to prevent rabies. Rabies is fatal, but 100 per cent preventable. People should not wait to see if the dog lives for 10 days as is done in many cases,” Dr. Raghunanthanan added.

In a study undertaken among school and college students and the adult population in the community, MMC’s Institute of Community Medicine found that among school students, 37.3 per cent thought that rabies could spread through an animal’s licks.

While 42.8 per cent knew rabies was a killer disease, only 15 per cent knew that it cannot be cured. In the community, 33 per cent were aware of the mode of spread and 47 per cent knew it was a killer disease.

No treatment is required if a person feeds or touches a rabies-affected dog or if the dog licks intact skin, said Dr. Raghunanthanan.

“If the dog causes a skin injury or licks the mucus membrane like in the mouth, eyes and nose, vaccination is must. If it bites and a muscle is injured, then vaccination and immunoglobulin should be administered,” he said. He stressed the need for patients to complete the course even if the wound healed.

BJP to take up Thevars’ cause

The BJP is leaving no stone unturned in ensuring that it expands its support among all major communities in Tamil Nadu.

The State unit is now preparing to step up its campaign in support of long-held demands of the Thevars, a backward community with a decisive vote bank in the southern districts.

This would include backing the campaign to name the Madurai airport after Muthuramalinga Thevar. “We believe many facets of BJP ideology syncs with Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar’s ideals. We totally support his view that spirituality and nationalism should be our two eyes,” said a Tamil Nadu BJP leader.

Professor at the Madras Institute of Development Studies, C. Lakshmanan, says targeting the Devendra Kula Velalars seems to be a specific strategy.

“On the ground, we see that the community is quite rigid when it comes to the practice of the Hindu tradition. Also, unlike the other sub-sects such as Pallars and Paraiyars, they still do not have a large political party to represent them. Hence, the BJP might think they could be taken into its fold,” opined Mr. Lakshmanan. While the Dalits and Thevars have had serious differences in the Southern districts, those in the RSS state they have co-existed well in their organisation. This could be a reason why the BJP backing both the communities simultaneously is not taken as a contradiction.

N. Sadagopan, media co-ordinator of the RSS, sought to dispel the notion that Dalits refused to be part of the Sangh, saying both Thevars and Dalits had been working closely with it.

 In the early 1980s, Southern Tamil Nadu saw polarisation on religious lines after Rama Gopalan organised Hindu Awakening Conferences. Nadars and Thevars are the two communities that identified closely with the RSS and the BJP. For many years V. Rangasamy Thevar, originally a close associate of Rajaji in the Swatantra Party, functioned as the state leader of the RSS. After the RSS divided Tamil Nadu into North and South for administrative purposes, A. Adalarsan, a scion of the Ramnad royal family, has become the secretary of the South Tamil Nadu.

We believe many facets of BJP ideology syncs with Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar’s ideal: BJP leader
