Dasavatharam :: Trailer link
Mr.Venkatesh; That is a truly wonderful account of whats written in the Prabhavam. I too heard this from a family friend who is a staunch (not fanatic) Vaishnavite. By chance we both were viewing the Dasavathaaram trailer. Upon viewing the scene whe…

Mr.Ramaswamy; Mr.Venketesh is not belittling Kalki. Infact if anybody knows more about Kalki it is Mr.Venketesh. There are many places in the novel where this group has pin pointed erros by Kalki. That does not take away the fact that PS is an incre…

Malathi; Thats what i was saying. THe concept of Jesus having a wife and all that was interesting and unique. But as an adventure i.e. the travel, police chase, etc.. it was rubbish. On the whole i fel it was a massive propaganda. Yethu sonnaalum sa…

Mr.Venketesh; A rather elimentary question. Which sea did they drop poor Perumal into? Any chance they dropped Perumal into Kaveri instead of an ocean, as isn't it more near than an ocean?

Malathi; Making a pot boiler is also tough. Infact personally i feel making a pot boiler is tougher than making a movie which appeals to a select segment. When a film maker is making a choice between making a pot boiler to a "art" film he …

Hi; I haven't read the book TM but have seen the movie a few times as my dad loves it (a Nagesh fan) and forces us to watch it also! Its a really nice movie. I think, to be fair to the director, its hard for the movie to match the book. For th…

Leave Yellaam illa sir. We Maduraiites tend to be very happy during Thirukalyaanam. We feel incredibly good things happen to us on this day. If a cocunut falls on our head we feel our Meenakshi has given us a cocunut instead feeling the pain. Its ju…

Hope one of the moderators just deletes this thread. The argument is getting ridiculous by the day. The group has been started to discuss about PS and other related ones. A once in a while off-topic discussion is good but this is bordering on madnes…

Malathi; My father starts the day with Kripananda variar's Meenakshi Kalynam, daily. As you said the description of this Thirukalyanam is incredible.

Thyagabhoomi - that day and today
A really beautiful summary! I have always admired Kalki's naming of his characters. Nallan,Ponni..incidentally Kamal Hassan used Nallan in Anbe Sivam. Ponni, these days, sounds too rural. BTW im naming a few of my projects Ponni. Its such a pre…

digging up important sites
Hi Mr.Venketesh; Nice list. I dont think Malik Kafur and Clive come under 'kings".. What about Ashoka,Chandragupta-2 (Vikramaditya),Harsha...why no Akbar? Its a pretty controversial list.

digging up important sites
If only somebody digs these up and dates them, we could know exactly.if there are 4-5 sites then lets carbon date them all. What could be more important than finding the resting place of one of India's greatest kings(Hi Vijay :) )?

Temple Tour
During the tour we visited Tiruvarur. Even though my father is a regular visitor this was my first time. Can you please tell me why the Lord is worshipped in human form here unlike other places where he's in Lingam form?

Even though the basis for the formation of this group is the novel Ponniyin Selvan we've discussed almost everything from the beauty of Vyjayantimala (courtesy our dear Mr.SPS), to Chepauk cricket lore (again Mr.SPS), to politics and now..Golf!…

Temple Tour
hi all; Just returned from a tour of some Shiva temples in the Kumbakonam Tanjore belt. It too 4 days but was worth every minute. Went to some really remote one. Here's the list: - *thingalur*-- moon temple - *swami malai* -- murugan te…

Karikal Cholan ruled TN before Nedunchezhiyan
Thanks Mr.Venketesh. A typical British account of those times. Some really fascinating facts have been included. I liked the one about "Jellicut" the best. The British have described it as being "sufficiently hazardous"!! Althoug…

the women and the throne
hi vijay; nice of you to notice that Kalki's romantic escapades were wonderful. I was also fascinated by Poonguzhali-Arulmozhi chapters in PS. Probably because he couldn't indulge in any of these himself he simply poured his heart out into…
