Who is the best actor in South Indian cinema?

‘ Navarasa Nayaka “ Jaggesh born “ Eshwar Gowda” (1963 - ) is one of the greatest actor of Indian Cinema alive today. He had a great career of more than 40 years and has multiple talents and great acting skills. He's fondly called as Navarasa Nayaka meaning “ master of 9 emotions “.He is India's answer to Charlie Chaplin.

He can do any kind of roles with ease with powerful screen presence, perfect facial expressions and consistent comedy timings.

If you consider the action hero with loyal fanbase it would be Darshan Thoogudeepa

What are the differences between Bollywood and South actresses?

 A big difference that I found between bollywood and south actresses are that south actresses are more polite and kind than most of the bollywood actress.They never hesitate to give money to the poor,do charity's,take photos with their fans etc…

South actresses even after being a nepotism product struggles a lot to reach the top position as in south industries everyone is treated equally

I believe that most of the bollywood heroines are extremely overrated for no reason like disha patani,ananya pandey,sonam kapoor,Jhanvi kapoor etc…

Almost all the south actresses do not expose on screen or do some other types of stupid scenes compared to bollywood actresses.

Most of the south actresses prefer to wear traditional dresses for award shows and audio launch events or any other types of events.

Note - But there are exceptions like shraddha kapoor,Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra etc…

Take a look these are some pics of the leading south actresses

Rashmika Mandanna

Samantha Akkineni

Kajal Aggarwal

Sai pallavi

Anushka Shetty

Nayanthara

And finally Keerthy Suresh

The actresses mentioned above are my favorites sorry if I have missed any😊

You can let me know through the comment box if u want me to add any actresses.

What is the major difference between North Indians and South Indians while eating food?

 Question: What is the major difference between North Indians and South Indians while eating food?

Most South Indian foods couldn’t be enjoyed with a spoon. Indeed you can try with a spoon. But it won’t give such satisfaction as eating with hand. And anyway never try eating in banana leaf with a spoon :)

So the main difference is most South Indians prefer to eat food by hand!

And most North Indians prefer a spoon or else try to use hand but without touching the curry directly by the hand. Anyway, most of their food items are not watery like South. And I have seen a few battling to eat Dosa with a fork as well :) That’s a crime indeed :)

Which South Indian Traditional Dish is missing from our plates?

 Nowadays due to change of lifestyle, we really miss many healthy foods which our ancestors have left for us as a everlasting treasure.

But we are not utilising it and we especially, the urban dwellers are turning to Pizza , Kofta, Panner Butter Masala, Burger, Cheese, etc which contain high fats and carbohydrates that will only result in disease.

Some of the dishes which were regular in our Tamil cuisine is only done in villages or once in a year for festivals and that's the saddest truth.

What I had before 15 years are no more common in my home and some of them are….

Palaya Soru ( fermented rice)

Once, a morning dish which was made by the leftover rice of the previous night is done very rarely nowadays.

It was mainly done by my grandma and as she later settled in our village, I haven't eaten this dish for many years .

Panakkam

When I was small, my mom used to do this daily during summers and now I have grown up and she no more prepares this.

Nowadays, this ancient drink is only prepared on Ramanavami and on Tamil Puthandu( Tamil New year)

Adai Dosai

Believe me- Adai is more healthier than the normal dosa ( Normal dosa too is healthier without adding ghee/ butter).

Adai is done by mixing 6 types of paruppu( dals).

We do it once in a week but this dish is getting forgotten in many homes.

Ulundu Soru

Ulundu Soru is made from Ulundu( Urad Dal).

Unlike Ulunda Vadai and other rice types which became famous, its so sad that Ulundu soru didn't gain its importance.

Please try out this healthy dish.

Ulundu Kali.

This is actually a healthy sweet( sugar is not added) which is made on Thiruvadhrai/ Karthigai Deepam .

Nowadays only in villages, people make this.

Veppalai Poo Kulambu

After eating this kulambu, all the worms from your stomach will run away.

When I was small, my mother did this during summer( we had a neem tree) but now no more…

I really miss you sweet liitle dish…..

Murunga Keerai Poriyal

Everyone know the health benefits of Murunga Keerai( Drumstick leaves).

It has high iron content and good for blood.

As these leaves are no more available in cities, I miss this poriyal.

I only get to eat this when I visit my village..

Sundakai Kulambu

Again a healthy and tasty Kulambu, as this plant only grows in villages, its not available in cities/ towns.

Agathi Keerai Poriyal

No words to say about this leaf because its health benefits are numerous…

Agathi Keerai Poriyal done on Amavasai days.

I heard before 50 years ,people used to eat even more healthy dishes mainly which consisted millets, Navadhanyams and other indigenous rice varieties and that's why they lived healthier .

What food should every tourist visiting South India try?

 When you are visiting Tamil Nadu you should definitely try these items

1.Idli : First thing to try is our Idli. Well you can get idli in other south indian states too but the batter composition is different in Tamil Nadu and it is too soft, spongy and bright white compared to other state. We used to call it as Malligai Poo Idly (Jasmine idly) because of its colour and softness.

2. Idiyappam with Coconut Milk : You can even add a pinch of cardamom to the cocount milk if you prefer.

3. Ven Pongal with Medhu Vadai : Another most popular breakfast in Tamil Nadu.

4. Full Meals : While travelling in Tamil Nadu you should not miss our full meals. Number of dishes and currys may differ depending upon the place and the restaurant.

5. Dindugal Briyani : Contender from our state for the Briyani competition. Contrary to the basmati rice we use Seeraga Samba which is comparitively small and adds a special taste to the briyani. Another difference is its colour. A typical Dindugal briyani will be brown in color.

Some other traditional dishes to try

6. Adai Aviyal :

7. Asoka Halwa : Made from Moong Dal. Try this in Tiruvaiyaru for authentic taste.

8. Paal Paniyaaram :

9. Vaazhaipoo Vadai :

10: Maangai Pachadi : A sweet dish made from Mangoes. Some used to add Neem flower to enhance its taste.

11: Ilaneer Payasam : Gheer made from tender coconut

12. Kambu Koozh :
