    DEAR VAIRAM.

    EXCELLENT. VERY USEFUL. TO BE PRESERVED.

    YOU ARE RENDERING GREAT SERVICE TO THE LANGUAGE.

    YESTERDAY IN THE JAYA-TV TELECAST PROGM -
    Pazha. KARUPPAIAH and Nanjil SAMPATH mentioned ::

    RE Worship of God - there are views of Agreement/s and Disagreement/s.

    But elevating OUR MOTHER LANGUAGE to the LEVEL OF GOD (ALMIGHTY)
    and WORSHIPPING - NO DISAGREEMENT WHATSOEVER.

    Likewise Elevating our Mother Land (Soil - Mann) -
    to the Level of God and Worshipping : NO DISAGREEMENT.

    Thus services to Lanauge need to be considered as those
    rendered to the Almighty !


    DEFINITELY THE YOUNGSTER GROUP - Yourself - Vijay - Satheesh (omissions inadvertant) ARE ROLE MODELS to the Present day Youth of Our Soceity !

    When you inculcate the desire to

    preserve our Culture - Language - History and Golden glory

    to the Present Youth and through them to Future -

    even if it is only to the immediate small circle -

    You have all accomplished a lot !!

    THANKS, BEST WISHES, REGARDS AND GREETINGS

    I couldn't resist adding this. "vayadil iLam, thondil kizham"; these
    guys including those left out inadvertently are doing an excellent job
    and deserve a big 'shottu'. I do miss the light but incisive postings of
    abhivenkat.

    Wonderful dear Vairam,

    an excellent blend of Classical Tamil dictions with
    colloqueal usage !!

    Dear Katherine,

    Too classical to be translated ..

    It is Tamil Word Game - related to certain Tamil words having more than one meaning !!


    Eg: A home collapses if the Cross beams ( UTHIRAM ) give way ..

    Star Hastham reaches Zenith because of the movement of this Star UTHIRAM ! (Uthiram means Cross Beams at higher level and a Star also )

    Vairam has brought this out very nicely in his blog which he is sharing.

    thanks dear.

    sps
