As we bid adieu to 2015, it's time to look back at the year that was, at the events that made headlines in Tamil Nadu, and the women who were in the news this year - whether S Preethi, the driver of Chennai's first metro rail train at the inauguration, or CM Dr J Jayalalithaa, who was acquitted of all corruption charges by the Karnataka High Court in a landmark judgement. The gorgeous Amy Jackson is our covergirl this month. She’s come a long way, from modelling in England to doing films with some of Kollywood's biggest stars. Also meet filmmaker scriptwriter and graphic novelist Nandhini JS, best known for her film Thiru Thiru Thuru Thuru. This year, she makes a mark with Tamil Nadu's first graphic novel, Sivappu Kal Mukkuthi. She discusses women in the south Indian film industry and her future projects. Karishma Rajaratnam, co-founder of The Pound, finds homes for abandoned and stray animals through social media. She also co-runs Hotel for Dogs, providing shelter for pets while their owners travel. The young and talented jewellery designer-entrepreneur Akshita Garg shares her trade secrets in On My Own.
