MD Saar,
Don't think she was with Business India. She was with Time in early 90s and CNN later on.
Mudar Patherya moved from Sportsworld to Business India, a big loss to sports journalism.

ttm:
Are all of these extracts from the same book ?
I kind of vaguely remember Shobha's suicide - I was expressly forbidden to read certain Tamil newspapers and magazines then by my parents -it was considered unsuitable for my age. So I could never figure out what the fuss was all about. I didn't know she was so young when she died.

Hello there..
I am not sure what you name is.. not of the comments call u by ur name as well.. so Mr.talkative... u got a nice flow of writting.. i admire us language..
there are lots of links in this post din't get to read all of them.. but the one about shoba's death rings a bell...
the writter is right when she said.. why hang and not have pills ... if u notice most of the suicides in the industry (of course the actresses) all or most of them have hung themselves, 90% of the time to a ceiling fan.. and with a saree... hmm.. it wud be interesting to learn more abt why such ideas creep up.. its not just the actresses.. i have known few of the general public resorting to such brutality towards their own self..
what is the pattern in such extreme thots.. may be a pschyatrist wud be able to give us insight it to.. let me see if i can do some research on this..
Good post.. keep them coming!!

kartik,
i answered in the last post and in your blog as well.
prachi,
good luck.
bnb,
Shoba's cameo blitz in tfm has been discussed by the old-timers - Mullum Malarum, Agal Vilakku, Moodupani. I always felt while watching Marupadiyum, Sathi Leelavathi, Rettai Vaal Kuruvi, Balu must have surely had a sense of deja-vu during some of the scenes. What a hotbed of mystery and intrigue the cine industry is!
kanya,
That's a thought provoking observation indeed. Even recently 3 tele-actresses hung to death in the space of 4 months. Food for thought.

Agree with Syam. There are some blogs I go to regularly to enjoy the writing style and you disappoint me here.:-)
No surprise in that, TTM. Afterall, it's not the same nick!
:) read your comments-will reply as usual. :-P
