Robot varudhu oram po – a distinct fan & an auto!!


If MGR was a rage among
rikshawalas – it is our Superstar for auto drivers. The moment Superstar’s new movie announced or strongly speculated – you can see the movie’s name painted/imprinted in countless autos all over Tamil Nadu especially in Chennai city.

Canvas becomes black board

As Rajini fans started switching over to society friendly mode of celebrations – these auto drivers too have started thinking differently. Why not use the movie name or Superstar’s name for a good cause? Or use the rear canvas for something which is meaningful?

Messageful and meaningful autos

As a result, we could find some interesting and at the same time useful inspirations. These ranges from Superstar’s quotes, one liners, punch dialogues. Why, even some print Thirukural and relate it to Superstar and his life. (I have seen many Thirukural autos in the city like this!)

Sambo Siva Sambo, ROBOT varudhu oram po

1) In the back canvas there was a quote which highlighted the importance of education.

2) Another quote stressed the importance of service to poor – “Hands which serve poor are holier than the hands which pray in temple.” (How much TRUE these words are…!!)

3) Importance of reading books and maintaining library – “Instead of building street corner temples, we should build library, which would open the eyes of knowledge”

It is very much pleasing to see such a ‘hit on the nail’ promo for education, service and knowledge by a fan of Superstar Rajini.
