Mr GRS, my stance is not to reply to any of your posts. Taunts get attention only when people take them seriously and I truly don't view any of yours as worth responding. I humbly request you to respect that and not write to me either.

Sampath, Ok, i will take your side of the argument and let us assume ALL museum collections are looted. Let us also assume all that is somehow restored to India. What guarantee do you have that it will be maintained even 10 percent as well as it is…

Museum exhibits - stolen artifacts?
Sampath, museums are legally obligated to give the history, i am nto sure of the origins of such a brazen article but i do know it is the law and it is also combined with the fact that anything over 100 years belongs to any country even if it was pl…

Hinduism and CRY wolf - PS group and a problem.
Hi Arun, am all with you except that no meaningful discussion is possible without direction or a moderator stepping in to soothe tensions when they arise. Unmoderated debates can easily stretch into very long and sometimes even abusive arguments. M…

cussion is not on informative religious posts but more about debating on religion. That too of late (past month or so) an overwhelming number of posts have been side tracked to religious issues and have been noticed by lot of people. Sri has put…

Also i hope this is only religion related discussions and not informative posts. I've greatly enjoyed the nuggets of wisdom posted by Ravi, recently by Gandhi on Saiva Siddhantha. Knowledge only posts should be encouraged.

I whole heartedly agree. Also with one more thought that members suggested to me offline - don't respond to people whose way of talking or expressing opinions is not in line with our way of talking or shall i say our secular beliefs. Majority i…

How much of Indian History is Hindu History (North East)
Thank you, i dont know about others but i just asked in a light way. I am not interested in any intense religious discussion that are based on basic concept that hindus are cowards and victims of others which is again very very pulicha maavu to grin…

SV was a prolific singer in telugu also. I have many of her rare collections on dvd, a pleasure to hear and watch too . She was a much better singer than the more popular Bhanumathi, lost her voice with a rare throat infection after kannadasan…

Aadal kaneero and other b/w movies like thooku thooki got the best of her dance talent undiluted by commercialism. After color movies came in it gave way to gymnastics with arms and legs flaying wildly to equally loud music. Thillana - the original …

Vairam, that is really good to know :) I also very much liked one post you had some time ago on your blog on Madhavi's feelings towards Kovalan. How did you feel the dance form was adopted to present day stage, would you care to write more on …

Heart Stopping...not for the faint hearted.
Yes that is what i thought..very well explained Ravi. Same thing is also called 'witnessing the mind' in buddhist terms.

Aiyoooo Ravi/Vairam..give me a break pa..did not word it right..am not voting for karpukkarasis be it Kannagi or Madhavi. Strength of character is not just karpu it means self confidence and doing something unique and in this regard they dont appeal…

Hi Vairam, i don't make claims to have read both epics in detail but have a rough idea. I didnt mean the lady was not 'virtuous' - virtue is different from strength of character, i only said i was not hugely enamored by anything she d…

Ravi, we have talked a lot on avvaiyar's origins..nothing new..most of us who have KBS image in mind think like that that is all..If i get time will search and post some old threads. Malathi

Yes Kasturba Gandhi belongs in same league. I remember this story of Bharathi's wife, she borrows a small quantity of rice from neighbors to cook after a long period of starvation and goes to take bath..in the meantime the great poet had scatte…

M.S Subbulakshmi. To answer Vairam's question on most beautiful women..that is pretty tough..madhavi yes but am not hugely enamored by her character (beauty to me is looks + character). Nandhini or Kundhavai..certainly yes. Shoba - there is…

Sri i think he answered himself.. The foriegn museums are places where the idols are looted from a country and kept. There is no religious sanction for a museum. I will correct myself if there is a sanction for it. >>> EXACTLY!!! The disc…

Dear Thiru, very well put. I agree with you that all moderators are professionals and can only contribute a certain percent of their time. Unfortunately what that makes of a forum is one very unclear guidelines and two many discussions that border …
