Auotobiography of Kamal - Needed or not?
Every time I watch or read an interview of our legend Kamal, I am amazed by his knowledge on almost everything(he speaks about or he is involved in), his prowess at expressing thoughts and a lot of things I (and a lot others) have not known about him.
Especially after reading his recent interview for Inbox1305, this thought came in my mind so strong. An autobiography of Kamal Hassan is very much needed.
There are so many great things about our legend, which we didn't and don't know.One eg, isI have always wondered on his singing ability (esp while listening to songs like Sundari Neeyum of MMKR) , only while watching his interview on Kalaignar TV titled "Dasavathaaram Oru Avathaaram", i came to know that he was trained on classical music by the legendary Bala Murali Krishna.
Like the way he says that somebody should release the screenplays of (the legendary filmmakers like) KB's films in the form of books so that those great works dont go unabsorbed and also that future gen will benefit from that, I guess Kamal should start working on an Autobiography so that these wonderful things about him and his life are engraved, cherished and wondered by a wider audience .
If not an autobiography, since he has got a lot to experiment, learn, perceive and achieve in his life, he should probably write a book on his experiences at least.
PS: The intention of this post is to know what fellow Kamalians think about it and then most importantly, how to properly channelize our request to the right place.

Communication in Education
Education is all about communication – not only of hard facts
but also of thoughts and ideas and proposals on which to base
discussion and debate. A good teacher who can effectively
communicate facts, ideas and theories will turn out wellqualified
pupils, but there is one thing lacking in almost every
education system in the world, and that is teaching those pupils
how to communicate their thoughts to others. Young people
are simply not being prepared for what the world needs, or for
them to be able to achieve the success and enjoyment that are
available.
There is a common belief among educationalists that knowledge
is power. This is totally incorrect. Knowledge is not
power; it is potential power. We get paid for what we do with
what we know, not just for what we know. When we have
gained knowledge, what is most important is how we use it –
how we communicate it, or pass it on to others.
Consider the following statement: formal education has one
purpose only – to get people their first job. Self-education earns
them their living.
Initially, the truth of this statement may be difficult to accept.
Whether it is two individuals in a small organization or two
radical groups in an international conflict, if they don’t communicate
they will never resolve their differences.
However, although aspects of what we learn at school, college
or university enable us to get through our first interview, how
much of what we learn in our years of formal education do we
actually use later on in life? If we are honest, very little.

Named for Protestant Reformer !!
Calvin and Hobbes, named for Protestant reformer John Calvin and philosopher Thomas Hobbes, debuted in 1985, while Watterson was still
living in tiny
6-year old, Watterson readily conceded that he had no special knowledge of children. He and his wife have none.
"Basically Calvin does what I'd like him to do, and a little of what I remember doing-or wish I could do-when I was a kid," Watterson told the
Over the years, Watterson has grown more reclusive. He won't allow Universal Press Syndicate to release a photo of him. And he has never
joined the National Cartoonist Society. Twice, when the group selected him for its top award, the Reuben, he declined to show up.
Nonetheless, among cartoonists Watterson is highly respected for his strip, his talent and his chutzpah. Several years ago, when newspapers
began shrinking the space they allot to each comic, Watterson issued an ultimatum: run Calvin and Hobbes big or don't run it at all.
Outraged, a few papers dropped the strip, but the rest yielded to his demand.
Also, Watterson has stood virtually alone in refusing to license his characters. He explains why in a preamble in his latest collection of strips,
The Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book.
Licensing, he writes, turns the cartoonist into a "factory foreman, delegating responsibilities and overseeing the production of things he does
not create. Some cartoonists don't mind this, but I went into cartooning to draw cartoons, not to run a corporate empire."
"I take great pride in the fact that I write every word, draw every line, color every Sunday strip, and paint every book illustration myself. My
strip is a low-tech, one-man operation, and I like it that way."
