It says “Kalaignars Poetry” about the CMs Daughter Ms. Kanimozhi, the vinyl hoardings which have come up in some main junctions of the city road. She’s a Rajya Sabha MP, poet and organiser of the Chennai Sangamam Show across the city.
I particularly like the two different photo’s treated as one and well.

Kalaignar Karunanidhi, Kavignar Kanimozhi!
Mr. Cho doesn’t accept her as a poet.
I have met her about 8 years back in Singapore and found her simple without much aura about being the daughter of the CM (even then he was CM) Tamil Nadu.
She never appeared to be someone made up for Politics.
Time and need to ensure one’s claim to family fortunes, makes one change track.
Ram: You said it and not me
Chennai Sangamam! The grand achievement of Kavignar Kanimozhi. All Tamils are proud of her.
Ram: Thanks for visiting and dropping a comment
After submission and publication of reader’s comment, details below LEAVE A COMMENT
ought to be emptied, enabling comments from new readers. Will this be looked into?
Ram: Thanks for pointing out Krishnamurthy, but i presume thats a browser cache, when you are about to close the browser clear the temporary internet files, this might not be appearing. I’ll still look from my side if there’s an issue with the blog service provider side. Thanks again.
Kanimozhi’s Interests
Kanimozhi, daughter of Chief Minister Karunanidhi, is interested in watching foot-ball. Likewise she is also interested in viewing Iranian movies.

Ram: Oh !
CHENNAI: The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam on Friday, May 25, 2007 nominated writer-activist Kanimozhi, daughter of Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, as one of the party’s two candidates for the Rajya Sabha biennial elections on June 15.
Ms. Kanimozhi, known for her deep interest in literary and cultural issues, promised to use the opportunity provided by the party to “work for the issues I passionately believe in.” Talking to The Hindu , she said she would continue to raise the concerns of the marginalised sections of society, women’s issues and freedom of the press in her new role.
A Tamil poet, the 38-year-old Ms. Kanimozhi started her career as a sub-editor of The Hindu in Chennai in 1992. She worked with the arts section of the newspaper, the Friday Review, till 1997. She was later in charge of Kungumam, a Tamil weekly. She actively took up the cause of freedom of expression on several occasions, including when actor Kushboo was hounded by sections of the political class for articulating views on pre-marital sex. Along with Karthi Chidambaram, son of Union Finance Minister P. Chidambaram, she launched Karuthu, a forum for free expression of views.
Ms. Kanimozhi was born in 1968, when the world Tamil conference was held in Chennai, and her parents- Hon’ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Thiru Karunanidhi and Rajathi Ammal – decided to name her as Kanimozhi, meaning sweet language.
She had her school education in the famous Presentation Convent and Church Park convent, where few other prominent women political leaders of today also had their education.
After her post graduation in Economics from the Ethiraj College in Chennai, she started her career in the editorial division of Young World, the weekly supplement in The Hindu and went on to become the Features Editor of the Tamil publication, Murosu, in Singapore.
Penning poems being her favourite past time, she is essentially recognised as a poetess with fire and ire against social injustice and a champion of women issues, and her works like Karuvarai Vasanai, Agathinai, Paarvaigal and Karukum Marudani came under many a critics scrutiny and appreciation as well. She also continues to air her views as a columnist in The Week.
Ms. Kanimozhi is greatly remembered for having organized, Namma Theru Vizha (Our Street Festival) showcasing Chennai’s long-lost traditional art forms. The concept was by Ms. Kanimozhi, which was taken forward by the Tamil Maiyam and the TN Department of Tourism and Culture. Chief Minister Karunanidhi flagged off the ceremony with a dance show, Sange Muzhangu, running through the evolution of the 2000-year old Tamil arts, literature and culture with 200 folk artistes sharing the space with classical performers in the six days of undiluted cultural display.
Ms. Kanimozhi says, I have always had a fascination for folk art forms. We wanted to have a cultural festival during Pongal (the harvest festival). In Tamil Maiyam, when we were discussing about celebrating the city of Chennai , which is an inclusive culture, we came up with this idea but did not expect it to make such a big impact. It was a surprise to have a first-hand experience about how so many forces, which can never come together for anything else, got together to work against something that they wanted to.â€
Ms. Kanimozhi is also known for being the driving force behind the online forum Karuthu along with Finance Minister P Chidambaram’s son Karthi Chidambaram. The web site says its ‘foremost task is to voice its opinion against repression and to safeguard the fundamental rights of freedom of speech and expression.’
In spite of her hundred per cent contribution and participation in any activity which she takes on, Ms. Kanimozhi has always kept a low profile and has kept her distance from controversies and therefore has a positive public image. She comes across as one who believes in maintaining courtesies with all including those who are from different sides of the political spectrum. She is watchful about the manner in which she airs her opinions and her live-and-let-live attitude has always gone in her favour.
Kanimozhi is credited with organizing Rural Job camps in Kanyakumari, Virudunagar and Vellore districts. These camps provided a remarkable meeting point for unemployed rural youth and corporates. Through these camps more than 30000 youth got jobs.

இவ்வாறு கனிமொழி எம்.பி. கூறினார்.
