Sun TV programs for Pongal celebrations

 Cinema filled Sun TV's special programs for the Pongal celebration:

• Interviews with cine stars (lots of them :)
  
• Cine stars reminiscing about their childhood, schooling, friends and movies
• Paid commercials about upcoming/recently released movies
• Movies ("Thiraikku Vanthu Sila madhangale ona"-type)
• Songs from new movies

One nice exception was the Patti Manram (Debate in Tamil) which was really of high quality. The debate was about whether "Academic Education" or "Experience" is the most needed attribute for success. 

The judge "Salomon Pappaiya" is an experienced hand that correctly judged that 
"Academic education" is less worthy than "real experience" finally after a very
humorous and thought-provoking debate by debaters. Perennial favorite "Raja" and "Bharati Bhaskar" were available. India really 
needs thinkers like this gang to advance to a super power. Kudos to this team !!!
