like don’t grab the mike, instead ask for it etc.įinally, Mr. He had a brief discussion with the director, followed by a briefing with the assistants. Gopinath introduced the topic as “Women’s view of Men – Carefree or Suffering”. Gopinath spoke was prompted by the director. At first, I felt strange that there was an echo for anything he says. Then I realized that it was the director prompting loudly. It looks like Mr.Gopinath or Mr.Antony had specific points in mind. As the mike moved among participants, they allowed a few participants to talk for long about specific points, but gave rude rebukes to a few participants for other points.įor Ex., the lady who started talking about her personal experiences was rudely asked to stop. Gopinath instructed her was not to talk about personal “stories”. But another young lady who spoke of her team mates behaviour was encouraged to talk. This young lady did not use respectful language ( her exact words were “thanni adichittu mattai aagiduvanga”). But she was encouraged to continue talking.Īfter 30 minutes of talking to the carefree side, Mr.Gopinath appeared stressed out. He said he was frustrated because participants were not giving answers as he expected. For the next one hour, Mr.Gopinath picked out participants one by one, and threw questions at them on a host of men related issues. Those who could not give a satisfactory answer got harsh rebukes. At the end of an hour, most of the participants on that side were hushed up. Only a few were encouraged by Mr.Gopinath to tell their views. These views were countered by a few ladies seated in the first row of the opposite side. Participants in the other rows kept voicing their views from the opposite side. Ladies in the first row appeared keen to keep the mike with them. Those who dared to shout out their views from the other rows were silenced by Mr.Gopinath. He said that participants in the first row have answered his question and further replies were not needed.īy then it was already 1.30 PM. Many participants in the men – supporters side were disappointed that they never got a chance to tell their views. They asked the Neeya Naana team about this. Prompt came the reply that they can speak up in the remaining segments.
