On Marks, Movies and Memories!
This day, 30 years ago, from my personal diary entry
12th June 1996

This particular day, I went to see the movie Rajali in the theatre.
A short take on Rajali –
It’s rare to see directors doubling up as cinematographers for their movies. Velu Prabhakaran did just that, in his directorial venture – Rajali, an action-adventure thriller starring Ramki, Napoleon, Roja, and Mansoor Ali Khan.
Although the film wasn’t a success at the box office, it was widely appreciated for Velu’s stunning cinematography.
After movie-time, around 1:35 pm, enroute home I happened to meet with my MCC School classmate Surendran. He said he’s got 1,066 marks in his HSC, while Sunil had scored 850 marks.
In the afternoon, my close friend Thilak came home to see me, and together, we went out!
On an aside, Sunil and Thilak find a place in many of my personal diary entries, as they happen to be my closest friends as well. 😊 [Just type out Sunil or Thilak or Santharaj on the Search option in our blog, and you will see our friendship stories by the number, you bet! ] 😊
While Sunil’s friendship was of the possessive kind (yes, he didn’t like it when I spent a lot of time with other friends), Thilak was a cheerful, happy-go-lucky guy who was a liberated soul in every way, like Santharaj, my closest buddy!
Some days like these might seem perfectly ordinary, but looking back on those lovely days - thirty years later - they read like the very best scripts of our lives! Indeed, the movie we saw might have been forgotten today, but the memories with such good friends, our greatest treasures - remain etched in our hearts as vivid as ever!
