Vijay Awards 2015 – 9th Annual Vijay TV awards – Criticism - Controversy

Vijay Awards 2015 – 9th Annual Vijay TV awards – Criticism - Controversy

Vijay TV is one of the Tamil channels, which has earned huge publicity in a short period of time. Vijay TV introduced Vijay Awards which became popular among the film fraternity. Vijay TV awarded many people from the film industry based on their contribution. There were many categories of award which included – Best hero, heroine, comedian, movie, art director, editor, dance master, lyricist, music director etc. For the past few years there has been controversy going around with Vijay awards stating that they are not genuinely given. A lot of people from the film fraternity said that the awards were biased. So, what is the actual controversy? Here are some of the points from the critics,
1.    The awards given were biased and did not include deserving films. In the 9th Vijay awards, films like pisasu weren’t recognized. There are arguments that the jury selected only movies which were owned by Vijay TV (eg. Cuckoo)

2.    The winners were informed about their award beforehand and were pleaded to attend the function. It was also argued that Dr.Ilaiyaraja (Music director) was given a special award but he left the function without taking it because he had to sit there for a long time.

3.    The viewers were not given anything to drink or eat. The viewers were made to sit for more than six hours and weren’t even offered water whereas stars in the floor were given juices and other things to eat.

4.    Important film stars like Vijay, Surya, and Vijay Sethupathy did not attend the function. Critics say that they didn’t attend the function because they thought the awards weren’t real.

5.    The program was hosted for a very long period of time and many stars left the place because they couldn’t stay that long.

Here are some of the points the defenders had to say for the criticism,

1.    First of all, it requires great credibility, network and ability to host a function of this cater and Vijay TV has been doing it successfully for the past 9 years. It is not easy to gather all the stars from the film unit and run a function like this.

2.    There is no single person who is giving these awards. There are jury members who take the decision. The decisions taken by them cannot always satisfy the interest of the people.

3.    Be it any function in the film industry, the viewers are not given anything to eat or drink. This is mainly because it is difficult to act on the dietary restrictions of all the attenders.

4.    The prolong duration of the function was mainly due to the speech given by the awardees and other performances. All these performances were done only to entertain the people. There might be few hundreds who are watching the function in the place but there are lakhs and lakhs of people who are watching it at home in the television at their homes eagerly.

5.    In any award function, encouragement is necessary. If critics keep on posting negative reviews about the Vijay awards function, then how will there be motivation for TV channels to entertain people.
Let’s hope that 10th Vijay Awards comes out without any criticism and entertains us to the core.

How to apply Australian tourist visa (for delivery purpose) without agent in India

How to apply Australian tourist visa (for delivery purpose) without agent in India
There are so many questions about applying Australian tourist visa from India. Especially when a mother or mother in law wants to visit their daughter or daughter in law, there are a lot of doubts. Few of them think whether it is important to declare the state of pregnancy (of daughters of daughter in laws) while applying for visa. 
It is very much important to declare because the person travelling will be required to take few vaccinations pertaining to be with the baby. Most of the people prefer to go through agents to apply Australian tourist visa as they think it’s difficult to apply by them. The agents, now a days have started charging more money and few of them give false information to the people. I have outlined the steps required to be followed in order to apply for Australian tourist visa.

If you have your family members staying in Australia and you would want to visit them since they are pregnant:

1. You can apply for a 3 or 6 or 12 month visa.

2. If you apply for 3 months visa, generally there is no health checkup. (But it depends on your age and medical condition you put in the visa application)

3. You need to undergo medical examination for 6 or 12 months visa.

4. You will be required to fill in the visa application form. From 1419 (application for a visitor visa) has to be filled in with correct details.

5. Documents needed to be submitted from your side
a) Notarized copies of all pages of the passport.
b) Certified copies of your birth certificate ( it should have both your parent’s names)
c) Recent passport size photograph of yours (45mm x 35mm)
d) Copy of your bank statement (It should have consistent savings history)
e) Copies of other documents which show you have any other savings. (FD or RD )
f) You tax document for three years (if applicable)
g) If you are employed, then get a letter from your organization regarding your leave. Also attach your salary slip, length of employment. If you are running your own business then, show your company registration. If you are retired then show the required documents. If you are a student get a letter from the college or university.

6. Documents to be given by your daughter or daughter in law from Australia. (they can send it to you and you can attach it with other documents and submit it)
a) A letter of invitation from your daughter or daughter in law or other family member.(the letter should state that they are inviting you to stay in their house)
b) Evidence to show that you are related to the inviter
c) Passport copies of the person inviting you
d) Visa status of the person who is inviting you
e) A letter from the doctor or hospital stating that your daughter or daughter in law is pregnant.
f) Copies of inviter’s rental bills, telephone bills, their account summary – if applicable.

7. Take all the required documents along with the application form to the nearest Australia visa application Centre. You can get information about your nearest center from http://www.vfs-au-in.com/contactus.html

8. You will be required to pay the visa application fees. For more information on how much fees you will be required to pay, please visit https://www.immi.gov.au/Help/Pages/fees-charges/visa.aspx
