The floods in December battered Tamil Nadu, especially Chennai and Cuddalore. But it also taught us many lessons and brought to the fore heroes who risked their lives to rescue many who were stranded in flood - from celebrities to expats, from men in uniform to ordinary citizens. In our Big Story, we meet and salute these do-gooders. On a lighter note, it's Femina Tamil's Men's Special issue this month, and we showcase the latest trends and accessories for your man. On the cover, the young and debonair Rana Daggubati has every reason to celebrate. His most recent release, Baahubali is easily one of the year's biggest hits across languages, and has made him a household name, even though he played an antagonist in the film. Meet the multi-faceted Shravan Krishnan, founder of Hotel for Dogs, an animal lover, and a rising star in the world of cricket, playing for Tamil Nadu and South Zone teams. In our Role Model segment, Sundar Muruganandam has the environment and its interests at heart. The first generation entrepreneur has become a manufacturer-seller of the power efficient fan. The winner of many awards, including the prestigious Du Pont Award recently, he believes that his Super Fan is a solution for sustainability of the planet. On that note, we'd also like to wish you a Happy New Year, and a prosperous Pongal! Stay safe, and have a fun-filled 2016!
