In a former job, there was a girl by this name and the western people found it difficult to pronounce. So she became "Poongi."

a plowman with a single plow
Hi Vairam, Malathi, Have you guys come across some good western country music ? I guess you both are based in the US... Most of these songs carry this tender feeling in utterly simple words. Lets sample a few songs here, if you have the patience…

Hi Satish, How are you? Settled down in the US? In "The Hub" one guy has posted an explanation for the Jan 14 issue: http://forumhub.mayyam.com/hub/viewtopic.php?p=294389&sid=0bc9d88d5de439d8e8e1edb067723312#294389 It seems the Sun…

Dear SPS, I searched the net and found some content which discuss the Tamil Calender in detail and some of them give a scientific explanation why it should be Jan 14. See: http://forumhub.mayyam.com/hub/viewtopic.php?t=1767 ..and it seems there a…

lions in south india
Is there any Tamil word for the lion ? Since Tamilnadu is not a habitat for the lions, most ancient Tamils would not have seen a lion. It was perhaps a mystic animal ( like the Yali ) associated with religeous practices. Knowledge of the lions might…
