Dear All, Asusual my mail would be long,this would be an "extra" long as I am on job search.(I'll come back to the offer given here,by ever friendly Krups)Great to see the number of members getting multiplied really fast."Power of PS/Tamil keep Tamil" ;)
Before going into it, And one small suggestion before picking up "joooooooooooot", is that the compilation of this group messages could be edited and given to children if members agree it as a wise thing to do.Children are the future generation,anything given to them is going to reflect on our own "future history" ;)
As mentioned ealier in one of my mails,Kalki must be holding(Oopss yet to read) the Tamils with so much attention with his writing and with the natural flavour that one who loves Tamil is sure to be attracted like a magnet to PS;SS;PK among many other Tamil classics.PS will continue to greatly influence the future generation.Thanks to this group and all the efforts put forth by all members and non members of Tamil lovers.
Sridhar thanks for the link on discussion on how advanced > tamil education and > science is.....check the following link..its very > impressive however > you need tamil fonts. http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/5828/naadi.htm
Oopss again,Sorry I ccouldn't read them....
> As the author says the western world is researching > into these > aspects
They have been all the "centuries",not just the last few years or decades...But now for a change many people openly acknowledges that even if some don't. Adding the comments from your mail on the "foreign" arrival in Chola's time it may be true,even if one is allowed to view in many other views and comes up with a different view. See more of it here, http://www.goodnewsindia.com/Pages/content/traditions/turmeric.html Please apply everything in everything,There is nothing which stands in "isolation".This is if anyone thinks thats "Bio" and now we live in so called knowledge/learning economy and what not???
but we think it is mundane and have lost the > heritage we > still talk about. As said, The repeated invasions,plundering and later on the Social Darwinism that came up questioned the local's own belief and faith into doubts.(Added to that is "divide and rule",which is continuing in various forms...)But it didn't take away all the locals.It can NEVER be done. "Marathil Eriya Manithan,YeRangi thaan veravendum,Rombnaal Angeye Irukka Mudiyaathu,Mattumella Romba Usarathukku Ponaal,Kilai Odinthu Vidum..... "
"Root-less rabble rousers" are there,all the time even before the so called "Tanglish" generations parent's or even Grand Parent's time...But so is those who are roooted,firmly to their roots and grounds and leave a mark,(we saw/see here in the group toooo apart from what we see outside)that would ever and ever reminds their future generations....We have many even in our time and thats why we see Tamil and it'll have in future toooo..
A small suggestion on PS,Its the "Varaprasadam" for those like me who hasn't read it yet and for those already read to review everytime if needed.
It would greatly help users like myself to read webpages like, www.webulagam.com www.thatstamil.com as I can read without downloading any fonts...I know it might be under way or something,but its just my small suggestion.Hope it'll be taken in constructive way to reach PS for people who have similar difficulties.Good luck for all developments and growth and spread of Tamil.
But I also as I read,"His most popular form is humour".... "His style of writing commands the complete attention of the reader who forgets the existence of the outside world other than the story/article he/she is reading. " explains a lot why there was not many comments from the members in a way.When one is lost in the words of author's excellent way of communicating it to the readers,the readers don't realise their "present" environment where they live and read.Its excellent skill to make such writing.I wonder what would be if "maintaining" the same spirit and yet bringing the characters that the reader sees today,might have brought more comments to "learn from the past". Once a writer's most popular form is humour,Its "really" a challenge to bring out wonderful historical novels.Perhaps not for Kalki, that may be the speciality of the author,to bring in different perceptions into his writing and take the complete attention of the readers and making them lose themselves into it,forgetting the worldoutside? even if his most popular form is humour.Kalki stands tall,like Mahakavi.
As for an offer,for a job which came from ever friendly Krups,Thank you so much.Infact I do look for a job,but I am still student(life long student ;)) and have to write my thesis.But away from these studies,too much has gone in nowww,have to relax sometimes....I will surely contact when I as I need it,Many thanks for that offer.It was really nice of you.
Sridhar,Thank you so much for sharing thoughts on Mahatma and Mahakavi.And some additional notes which I like to take it and try to input into the thoughts and learning... As for "It definitely makes me proud...that tamils are in every nook and corner.",Think of Kalacharam - Culture in English.Makes any sense????? It shouldn't be of surprise to you,when you give so much of links and keeps us "information rich group".When one applies "thought" to information one could get "knowledge",I think so???
As for Thilaxxx Idea of Public library.Excellent. I would also just add(yes onnly add),that local Tamils in TN,need the input as well....Lets not leave them behind....Many eminent members in this group could think of that,there are still millions who cann't read and write.....yes,there are many who have done great contributions and who continue like many members here...but the numbers needs more and more and more....at the local level...tooo.
Thiru Krupashaker avargale, Ungalin thamizh pulamaikku ennal Eedukodukka mudiyaathu...enna pannrathuuu nammala english thaan konjam saralama varum....adjust pannikongaaa.... As said,I will contact you as when I need."Appaa neenga sollalaam,Unakku appa velai koduthen vena ennai,ippo velai illaaaa" :)
Aanaal oru santhegam,ungal officil enakku mattum thaan idam gaali aaa, Illai intha groupil ulla ellarum "apply" pannalamaaa?
Anyway,as said,this is an "EXTRA" looooooooong mail.Sorry for taking so of space,and time if members managed to read till here... I really enjoyed the most being in this group,which has been extremely active,even though many could come and contribute in better ways than my "mails".
As once noted,people all live in one's "own" Maya.But the greatness is in the common interest of "Tamil" through which great Tamils and Non Tamils have contributed to the world and continue to do so..lets do what one can do even if its small at any level.
