Dear Madam, The brightest star which we see in the sky is Venus and the next brightest star you can see is Jupiter. The way to find the difference between star and planets is, that the stars twinkle where as planets do not.

Kalahasti gopuram collapses....why?
Saw this news only today morning in the paper and then in Sun News. Really shocking news. Was it due to negligence as quoted by DC? Whatever be, we lost a historic structure. Definitely a gopuram falling apart is not a good sign.

Ashoka and Tamils
Dear Kathie, The sangam poems refer Chera, chola, pandyas and they are considered to be a very old dynasty ruling the south India. So its very much possible that they existed during Mauryan period.
