my video on differently abled
Dear Katherine, there is a famous movie in tamil called 'Tiruvilayadal'. One famous dialog is 'Sandayum sacharavum pulavargalin parambarai sothu'. Meaning, friction and fight are heridetaroy property of poets (too literal a tran…

Venkat, If you are talking about the bust size photo of Kamal and Asin with the lord, in traditional madisar, I think that photo is quite old. I think that was released almost a year back. It does involve characters from 12th century, but Kamal�…

I read a one line news item yesterday stating that Kamal reveled the story of Dasavatharam. When opened it curiously, all he said was its a space science related story with spirutuality involved in it. It seems Kamal has gone to depths of spiritual …

No one told me. I remember reading this somewhere around 10 to 15 (?) years ago. Not sure while I was in High school or college. I seldom remember things (have a poor memory :) ) but these figures fascinated me so much that it got registered in my m…

Though I feel this should be my last mail on this subject, Venkatesh, I can not stop applauding your neutral view point. Good example, i would say. I think I have mentioned such things in one of our earlier discussion, just a 2-5% of the community …

Muthu Prakash, thanks a lot for the details. It does gives me an insight. But still I am not convinced in many areas - eye for an eye is not the solution - that too during the gandhian era, I am really surprised. Let me leave it here, dont want …

oh god... Search for 'Aryan Invasion theory a myth' in the internet and you will find thousands of informations on this. The entire world except India has accepted that Aryan Invassion theory is a myth and there is no race as Aryan or …

Since I could not lay my hands on any of the information pertaining to the basis of Jan 14 being tamil new year (again i should admit I might not be doing a good search), I started searching for Maraimalai adigal, since he was one of the key person …

Sorry VK. I am not able to get your point. the first link you gave, I also came across this, but that article speaks about the logic of having April 14th as the new year and not Jan 14th. Only the last lines says that some people claim Thai 1 as ne…

Thanks Natarajan, for the continuous posts. Its generally said that Brahma do not have any temple. But there are exceptions and I think few temples have shrine for Brahma. But the thing is, every temple might say that this is th eonly temple for br…

SPS, Your questions are thought provoking. I tried searching on the net (I really envied Vijay, how he gets accurate data? I am very poor in searching). The points I could gather were: 1. In 1921 around 500 scholars under the lead of Maraimalai ad…

You are right SPS. Then the govt. should have tried to study the origin of the names rather than changing the new year over night. now will they have a new set of names for each year starting with Thai 1? Yes may be, they will name each year after …

The question is not just changing the new year from chitirai 1 to thai 1. I too read about it a few months back. These are obvious political stunts and people are not bothered about it. Even now, the whole state will be celebrating the new year only…

oh..venkat, so early on the net? Just now i replied on this. I think its 1897 and 1906 and not as old as 1870. But your point on the graveyard, its news to me and quite interesting

Hamilton changed to Ambattan and then to barbers bridge - thats true. But its not during the DMK period. A year or so ago, Venkat circulated two old maps of Madras (i still prefer Madras and use that name more than chennai. Somehow chennai does…

Bharathi is a genius.. again a poor soul who was neglected by the govts. for the simple reason that he was a brahmin by birth. Again for people who say Bharathi has been respected by all and has been given the due respect, I beg to differ, no Dra…

Dear Sri, The 2 or 3 wishes which i mentioned includes those 2 :) But still till last year we had floods of wishes,and even for Jan 1 we do get flooded. Changing Tamil new year from chitirai 1 to thai 1 is ofcourse political, but forcing not to …

I dont think it has any effect, atleast in recent times. Recently I wrote that Google made its page black for one day to spread awareness of energy conservations. They did placed a note saying that making the screen black in no way saves energy (if …

Yes. AIR did air PS as a weekly series for I think 2-3 months. Not the entire length, but the abstract of it, I suppose. We did discuss that in our group, i am not sure about the timeline, whether it was a year ago or 2 years ago.

I dont think even all the Tamil people know who Kalki is? I have come across many people who dont know him. Forget kalki, I would say most of the tamils even dont have the habit of reading, lest know authors. I really appreiciate Katherine's …

I am too not able to understand the intricacies of the genetic engineering, but am able to get the outline. Is there a definite proof that all these people with the marker gene trace their migration to africa? why cant it be other way round? Prob…

breakthro in migration concept
Yes. I agree with Arun. Genetics though much hyped about is not the final one to decide. As Arun said, the gene difference between human and chimp is only 250. SO if we replace those 250 genes in chip, will it become a human? In theory yes, but in p…
