Kaveriyin Maindan
Ennamo ponga sir. Muruganandham veetukku auto-vil 'porul' varamaa irundha sari. It is safer to write about the first family of 1007 AD than 2007 AD.

British India vs Post Independence India
Hi, I have a slightly different view on why British built infrastructure. For reasons I do not know, whites (I am not using this in a derogatory sense) have always stressed on clarity (they keep enhancing/creating rules/definitions for everything)…

Fwd ........A BRIDGE TOO FAR
I request our members not to respond further on this. This distracts from the other useful discussions we are having (e.g. Kalinga Balu's trip).

last kings of a dynasty
In Capitolini museum, you would find a statue of Capitolini. Apparently, the world would end when the statue turns to golden colour !! Heard similar prediction from Veera Brahmendra Swami too (when the stone wheels of hampi ratha moves etc.)

Indian Flag
Karnataka does not have its own official flag. However, a flag designed by one kannada writer (yellow-red, signifying manjal-kumkumam for mangalam) has become a huge hit here with the kannada organizations, due to its simplicity. This flag is unfurl…

A common reader's perspective of Kaviriyin mainthan
Folks, I found KM at anyindian.com. A tip: Choose Ground Shipping if you are living in India (outside chennai maanagaram). This is cheaper and sufficient; courier costs three times ground shipping. I spoke to the helpline and they confirmed that g…

A common reader's perspective of Kaviriyin mainthan
Folks, It is frustrating to read the emails on Kaviri Maindhan, when I do not know how I can lay my hands on a copy of it. Any pointers on how I can buy a copy of it? I live in Bangalore.

[Forward]: Slowdown culture
Dear Natarajan, That article was a Forward. But, I agree with it - I have seen the same culture in Switzerland where I worked for some time. Seivvana Thirundha Seivaargal. No quick fixes. I agree that developed countries can afford to take time.We…

Nandhini
Oh, it is one of the sick traditions in Tamil Movie industry. Just like making fun of Seth-jis and Malayalees. In fact , the lack of professionalism is so obvious when you hear actors trying to pass on nonsense as the dialect of a region (e.g. the e…

Ramayana and Tamil Nadu!
Rajendra Chozhan put me in a nostalgic mood. My native is a village at the foot hills of this 'Tadagai Hill'. We refer to it as 'Tadagai natchiamman Malai'. It is a very small shrine (more a shed) with a small stream flowing nea…

Grama Devatas :: Kannagi and Kodungollur Bhagavati - Siruvachur
Wonderful summary, SPS. Kannagi was probably only a tool/excuse for the city to be burnt. Also, was it not common those days for an enemy to destroy a king's city if the enemy won? I guess people were used to rebuilding their cities every time…

i agree with srividya_nrs on the benefits of ancestor worship. I started family deity worship (nothing elaborate but made her my single point-of-contact for the other world ;-) ). I observed that my prayers are answered faster and also it is easy to…

Learning Music
Hi, The answer to the basic question of yours lies in another of Cho's works - "Enge Brahmanan?". Moving away from merit/attitude based varna system, towards a parent-based creates confusions like this. For a ritual+meditation+intros…

Ayyo paavam naan
Dear Krupa, Congrats and best wishes. Wow, Kashi halwa is an equally good option. You can expect one more tiffin box, this time from Bangalore. Only thing is to convince Sri that once in a while, 1/4 kg of ghee is OK to have :-)
