OK. How about the cave men site / Gingee fort / Pallava sites ? Even a visit to Kanchi with somebody who knows temple architecture might be great..

Writer Sujatha died.
Very true. In this fast world, it is like holding the tiger by its tail for everybody. When will we all have time for everything else ?

Writer Sujatha died.
So when the death of writer Stella Bruce was announced on a website, I turned on the TV trying to get more information. Had a glance of a TV report showing his body kept on a rusty cart with a tag tied on his hand, clothed in near rags, flies roamin…

He also took leaverage of the flying machines ( vimanaas ) of our epics and the vimana sastra itself. Other things are the concept of our epochs ( yuga ), concept of time dilatation between the abode of gods and the earth ( 1 eye blink of Brahma = &…

Hi, I'm a fan of Eric Von Daniken and have almost all his books... ( though I dont agree with most of his theories now ) He is a controversial author and accepted many times that he "over wrote" the facts. Charles Berlitz and Graha…

sujatha- info
Another sad news is the sucide of "Stella Bruce" a Tamil writer of the 80's. His novels portraited a new way of story telling and characterization in the 80's.

Karikal Cholan ruled TN before Nedunchezhiyan
The Saptur Zamin is a family friend of my wife's side. I will try to meet the present Zamindar S.K.N.K.R. Kamayanaicker this summer and see if he has some records or memories or pointers on this.

If you know this family, we can meet them from our group along with selected historians and bring about the facts. I can arrange logistics, since my native place is Madurai.

I had this book by Pandarathar and I remember him saying that the Pandians were reduced to the level of Zamindars and continued to live in the Tenkasi region in that book. I have to search for this book in my archives at my native place. srartham m…

Architecture and Religion - Were the palaces really existed?
During 1904. See a paragraph on him in Hindu: http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/fr/2003/05/09/stories/2003050901130500.htm

Architecture and Religion - Were the palaces really existed?
The cankam poetry "nedunaLvaadai" gives an exquisite description of the Pandian palace. The Pandian palace is none less. Kanagasabhai in his book on "Tamils 1800 years ago" mentions to have seen a ruined palace / city along the V…

First some blasting: Since there are too many stalls and visitors have very little time for everything, I think it is the responsibility of the stall keepers to arrange books properly as per author or subject. Most stalls were just dumping the book…

As IT people, we are obligated to visit stores like "Odyssey", "Landmark" etc., where very few Tamil books are kept and no one seems to buy them anyway. What a pity.

I went there yesterday and it is bigger than past years. 1 day is not enough to see everything. Try to visit small publishers' stalls - they have a variety. I found some interesting books by one "Meyyappan" publisher about Nadu Kal (…

WHO IS BETTER EDITOR
You were blessed perhaps. Will such leaders ever be born in our state again? Not even a "panchayat president" will allow students to enter his/her house to drink water & be willing to spend some time with them, these days.
