nandhini again
SPS, I think you are mixing up two different events. July 24th weekend trip was one of the very few trips I made and Pavithra was not part of that. i think she joined us only at Sangeetha. And I dont remember we all visiting the shore temple at…

Stone Carvings
Welcome my Namesake sans the spelling :) With the limited knowledge I have, Singaperumal koil is a 'kudavarai' meaning templed carved out of a mountain, instead of stones being brought to a different place for making the sculpture. Ini…

Stone Carvings
Venkat, Are you referring to the big squares on the walls etced and unfinished? I think we talked about this a lot during our mahabs trip but all were only assumptions :) Now another thing strikes me. Just a wild guess. I know its easier to dr…

India from the other side of the fence -
Vijay, Nice read. Its good to know that people outside India, belive that we elect our leaders :) what an irony, they dont realize that we are forced to elect the best out of the worst. On the other hand, inspite of all the corruptions we talk a…

Chennai Book Fair - 2008
I am really missing the book fair this year and all your descriptions makes me more frustrated. Anyway, good to atleast hear about this. Well said udanx. Reading is an addiction. I do buy most of the books from book fair and some from the stalls…

WHO IS BETTER EDITOR
During our groups meet with writer Vikraman, I remember Thiru.Vikraman recollecting that, when PS was first serialized in Kalki, the magazine became so popular that, in Egmore station book stall there used to be a long queue to buy it. The book w…

gandhi's mode of action
Venkat, I think, all these mails written were to highlight only one aspect, dont look at things only in one sided, please see the other side as well. YOu have been seeing only the good of British and the ills of Indians and thats why you call th…

British India vs Post Independence India
I dont think this argument is going anywhere. But I feel Sri and Venkat refuses to accept the ill's the british has left back. I clearly said - British rule is like giving a pot full of rice to a hungry person with a drop of poison in it. Si…

British India vs Post Independence India
I am not that learned to give facts and points like you people do. During this discussion it was pointed out that no country or society will be the same for ever. There are obviously ups and downs. From 1AD to 5AD we call it dark ages of Tamil N…

British India vs Post Independence India
Excellent points Ravi and Senthil. Many points have been misinterpretted or rather we were forced to misbelive. One tip of the ice berg... Untouchability...As if the west do not have it. What is aparthied? The whites never come in close contact…

Shocking copy(right)
Yes Rahul. This makes sense. Accepting that it is inspired...makes a lot of difference and Kamal or Mani rathnam should be respected for that. As you said, Kalki brought Chola's to the doorstep of every tamil. Mani rathnam and Kamal has take…

Shocking copy(right)
I never said Nayagan is a frame by frame copy. I only said some scenes from Nayagan are frame by frame copy. - An influential person pleading to Godfather to do justice with the people who spoiled his daughters life. - the enemies being killed a…

Shocking copy(right)
Dear SPS, Even when the movie Nayagan was released (I was in 7th then) I heard that its a copy (adaption?) of God Father and I have heard a lot about God Father. I seldom watch movies. Even God father, I got a chance to watch it when I was alone…

Shocking copy(right)
Ah..these are quite common. Manirathinam, who is considered to be one of the best directors in Industry got inspired (this is the word used for 'copy' in India) only by Hollywood movies. Only recently I happened to see Godfather. My god…

Kamal's Dasavatharam
Heard that 100 episodes are ready for PS Serial. Not sure why they are delaying. Since the person I know is going to play the role of AK, his part of shooting has not yet started and hence he is not too clear about what is happening as regards to…

Deepavali wishes
Venkatesh, ennai pathu enna kelvi ketuteenga...I do belive. what I meant is, we didnt had the patience to wait in the long queue and hence had the dharshan from outside itself without going inside. So its fixed? Siva sollave illa..congrats.. S…

Deepavali wishes
Venkatesh, Siva is in US?? News to me. The mistake we did is, when we went to Thiruvidanthai, we didnt wait for a proper dharshan and hurried from outside itself. Thats the reason nothing happened to Siva so far. :) Happy thalai deepavali to Sug…

Whose LOVE is THE greatest - Yaarudaya kadhal anaithayum vida uyarnthathu?
Ravi, The portrayal of VD is as per Kalki's imagination. No one knows whether VD was a homeless warrior or not. As far as discussed in this group, there is only one reference of VD in the inscription in Tanjai Periya koil, which clearly say…

www.chennailibrary.com also is a very good site where one can read many of the tamil litrature online. You cannot download but can read everything online for free. If needed, I think we can order for CD's at a nominal cost.

Common Thread in Kalki's Works
Venkatesh, Alai Osai - The description about Seetha's marriage covers almost a chapter, I think. Kalvanin Kadhali - In one chapter,a marriage scene is described when Muthaiyan (?) the hero, comes to terrorize the person who spoiled his fam…

Dear SPS, Pordon my ignorance if I sound odd in my thoughts. Vridharaja @ Mutharayas - Vridhi - Vridhachalam - old - senior. Was it Mootha arayars becoming Mootharayar and then mutharayar?? In Inscriptions, I dont thing they differentiate between …

48 ancient temples to be renovated in State
In one of our trips, I asked the same question to a distinguished person, who accompanied us, as why they are spoiling the temples with colour paints. Why cant it be a proper restoration of the actuals? The answer was a one liner - 'paint a…
