  • Annual Report 2019-20
    Annual Report 2019-20 VISION Our Shared Vision: “Education crafted to mould future generation” Education is an important medium of acquiring essential knowledge and skills. Education, as a tool must facilitate the cultivation of a healthy thought process and groom students‟ cognitive abilities. The purpose of education is to prepare the children of today to become dynamic and productive citizens of tomorrow. A school must stimulate curiosity in the young, impressionable minds by equipping them with tools to become better human beings. A school is pertinent in preparing students to be independent thinkers, to develop abilities that will help them in life and conscientiously adapt to the rapidly changing environment. We at Sindhi Model Senior Secondary School unconditionally sustain the idea of education being the key to well-rounded development of students. The recent shift of thought from bookish knowledge to knowledge of life has brought forth a sea of changes. Life skills as building blocks to prepare students to become responsible citizens, is the driving idea behind this change. To achieve these goals we endeavor to enrich our future generations with up to date curriculum, effective learning process both in the class and outside the class, train them in the many critical and non-technical skills that are required today and educate them to provide value service to the global community. Experiential learning has become the foundation of the constructive learning process in SINDHI MODEL SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL. Experiential learning makes allowances to foster creativity, competitive spirit and to develop the myriad inherent talents of students. In the current educational scenario, our students are taught to go beyond the traditional way of rote learning.

The capital of the province was Kancheepuram.Tondaimandalam was ruled in the 2nd century A.D. by Tondaiman Ilam Tiraiyan, who was a representative of the Chola family at Kanchipuram. It is believed that Ilam Tiraiyan must have subdued Kurumbas, the original inhabitants of the region and established his rule over Tondaimandalam Chennai also known as Madras is the capital city of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

  • Spoofs and the Politics of the Film Image's Ontology in Tamil Cinema
    Spoofs and the Politics of the Film Image’s Ontology in Tamil Cinema * Constantine V. Nakassis All Film Spoofs, No Spoof Films Commercial Tamil cinema has long been a travesty of itself, its textuality woven from so many citational allusions, homages, and self-parodies; and yet, until recently there was no such recognized genre of the spoof film, only “comedy tracks” trailing in the shadows of the grandiose hero and his more serious narrative, parodying his potent image here and there, most often through scenes of comically inverted or failed heroism (Nakassis 2010:209–221). In 2010, this was seen to have changed, with the release of a surfeit of spoof films—Venkat Prabhu’s Goa, Simbudevan’s Irumbu Kottai Mirattu Singam, and, most importantly for this paper, C. S. Amudhan’s aptly titled Thamizh Padam, or ‘Tamil Movie.’1 And then of course, there was that unwitting spoof hero, the self-proclaimed “Power Star,” Dr. S. Srinivasan, who entered the scene in 2011 with his unbel- ievably absurd, yet ambiguously self-serious, film (Lathika) and public persona (figure 1).2 Industry insiders and film enthusiasts often explain this seeming par- adox that Tamil cinema is all spoof with no spoofs by pointing to the self- seriousness of the industry—that is, that it can’t take a joke; or alter- natively by pointing to its cultural and historical particularity—that is, that “spoofs” are a foreign genre. But what is so notable is that the ind- ustry has long made jokes at its own expense. Think, for example, of Nagesh’s memorable comedy track from Sridhar’s classic 1964 romantic comedy Kadhalikka Neeramillai (‘No Time for Love’), which turns on Nagesh’s nascent film production: a parody of the film producer, Nagesh * Constantine V.
