military tanks

thinnai pallikoodam
Yah, i read this article too. Probably more because of my fascination towards TVS than anything else. Dr. U. V. Saminathayyar does give a wonderful insight into the schooling those. No wonder my grandfather felt we were being let of too lightly at o…

Myth or Real
Hi; Malathi's right. Ravana's 10 heads was not a mutation nor was it about Thalaiganam. This is a layman's misconception. I cant remember exactly but Cho Ramaswamy gave a truly wonderful explanation in his "Engey Brahamanan"…

Ravi; I dont think Malathi compared Helen and Sita/Draupadi. She just pointed out that countries/cities wre destroyed because of the actions of individuals. The whole city/country was made to pay for actions of one of thier citizens. Im sure its the…

identity crisis and kerala
Hi; I partially agree with Gandhi and partially with Malathi.Being a Palakkad origin person i can understand your comment. But Malathi's mail has the reason for this. We frequent a few temples in Kerala every year and one of them is Aariyankaa…

PS Drive ..is it possible?
Hi Malathi; Attention span has definitely decreased but i dont think the popularity of books has decreased. I think the mode has story telling has to be changed for the present generation for books to succeed. Harry Potter is a brilliant example of…

Ponniyin Selvan Movie Trailer
Very Impressive. Good work. The research done is obvious in the scenery details, etc. The attention to detail in the horse(especially during full gallop), VD, etc is very good. Im sure the full movie would be fascinating.

marco polo and tamizhagam
Dear Vira Rajendra; I think it was the brothers Veera-Sundara Pandiyars ruling Madurai (Veera having chased our Sundara) during Marco Polo's visit. Mr.Venketesh has done some research in this im sure he would be able to clear this.

Hi Malathi; Kovai? Maybe the Kovai before but certainly not now. I loved the city for all its aspects except this, i couldn't get parotta after 8pm (a sin for a Maduraitte!!)!! 8pm the city gets shutdown. All checkposts around the city work to…

Vandiyathevan Statue in chennai Anna salai...
I saw this statue recently and my dad told me it was installed, as Ravindran said, to celebrate the abolition of horse racing. But is it VD? And whats the connection?

CERN and NATRAJA
My earlier mail (the below one) says Leonardo was a genius painter and exceptional engineer, the arguement is about which skill in him was higher and not whether Leonardo was a good engineer or not. He was still a better engineer/scientist than most…

madurai meenakshi amman temple kumbabishekam
Meenakshi Kalyanam painting...ive never heard of this, let alone see. It would be quite a tough task to search this simply because of the sheer number of these in the temple. Also if it was a wall painting as recent as the 40s im pretty sure these …

madurai meenakshi amman temple kumbabishekam
Sorry for missing this. I feel as a group the events preceeding the kumbabishekam were more important. Ive never seen such an extensive restoration of large temples, especially one which is in daily use. They have rebuilt a lot of areas and every pi…
