Pyramid Vs. Thanjai Rajarajeeswaram Vimanam architecture
Hi MrVenketesh; It was fascinating. Regarding both architectures being the same i feel it is a case of 2 architects working separately on the same problem ending up with a similar solution. This is a common occurence. Would love to be contradicted o…

Pyramid Vs. Thanjai Rajarajeeswaram Vimanam architecture
Hi; This seems a very interesting subject or atleast one in which i can understand whats going on. Does anybody what the word "Cholula" means in Egyptian? What does the word Chola mean in Tamizh?

This is not a case only now. Even 1000 years ago dieties appeared in dreams of only kings and would come down only to the level of poets. Why dint they come to any footsoldier who fought right at the front or the common man? Is this beacause they we…

Meeting at the beach...
Sivaram; Please call me Rahul. I think MrVenkatesh was just being nice (maybe another dinner at College House :) ;) ?). I dont think i ever wrote anything substantial in both the groups. I am looking to contribute more.

Nice write up, comments reserved on the pic. Would have loved to be in that meeting but my Kalki prefers if i stay with her. I will try to collaborate a client visit with your next meeting soon. BTW why did my name come up in the meeting? Yethavath…

I THINK rrc is great because......
Well said MrVenketesh. It is not possible for kings to conquer without destroying and looting. Why do we always tend to make an exception for RRC when it comes to this issue? This has already cropped up sometime back in our group. As MrVenketesh sai…

That was a nice mail, Mr Venketesh. We will throw Nanda in that sirai and laugh like PS Veerappa. Regarding cockroaches, i am sure almost everybody knows that the cockroach is the only being which can live longest without its head. Even though insu…

Regarding who is greater Pandyas or Cholas. Ofcourse Pandyas were greater as MrVenketesh said they beat the Cholas hollow. If we have a war now Nanda who called the Pandyas roaches would be given "special treatment" during the war. A Pandy…

Hi all; Looks like a good arguement is going. I am glad i started it from MrVenketesh's mail. Oru Narathar feeling irukku "Narayana, Narayana" I think we are digressing towards who is greater Pandyas or Cholas instead of sticking to…

Dear Mr Kamal; There is small segment in that article which gives Nilakanta Shastri's views on usage of the suffix "Great". I am sure that would be useful. As MrVenketesh said by the end of this thread we should be getting a good cha…

Hello MrVenketesh; I dont think RRC can be called "The Greatest" ofcourse he was great but not the greatest. That title "The Greatest" should go to the kings who got the throne on merit rather than by right. Would Arulmozhi have…

Udayarpalayam Temple
He was a great king but to call him "The Greatest" wouldn't be fair to many others maybe "One of the greatest kings of India" would be an apt phrase. Ashoka,the Mughals, the Pandyas (Im not giving up on that),the Pallavas al…

*"greatest king of tamil nadu"* Shall we all agree to this or do the people from the Pandya capital(myself included) have something to say. Afterall we did outlast the cholas.

Dear Mr.Muruganantham; Do you think that by banning cricket/cinema that people would start sudying about VOC,Bharathiar,etc? Infact a whole generation of Indians, Tamilians especially got to know about these incredible people through cinema only. I…

Dear Mr Muruganantham; I dont want to deviate from the topic but i felt it was high time somebody stopped people criticising cricket for everything that happens in the country. Every country has its own passions, likes and dislikes. Cricket is much …

Dear Mr. Balasubramani That was a very nice mail. The "lost wax" process description was especially nice. Did you know that this process with a slight modification is still being used? Investment casting is slightly similar to this, only t…

Book on slavery in tamilnadu
Hello Mr Venketesh; Thanks for the mail. Sorry for delayed reply, ive been very busy. yes, it does look like slavery was rampant in Tamilnadu. To be honest there was no way such huge buildings could have been built by sweet talking your workers. The…

Mr Venketesh; I also believe that workers must have been harshly treated during construction. Also i have heard that for building the Tajmahal Shahjahan had to impose high taxes on his subjects. Even though the Taj looks incredible, many families wo…

Mr Venketesh; Regarding "slave whipping" i was referring to the Egyptians whipping their slaves not at our kings.

Hello Mr Venketesh; You are right about similarity between buildings across continents being builders common sense. I have found that when a number of people are faced with similar problems individually then most of them end up getting the same sol…
