Dear All Members and Learned Members here, I hope the members,the wast majority here would "think" and continue in sincere efforts to discuss openly,instead of assuming on trivial matters.
Its not enough to use "Ask,Don't Assume" or using Einstein's advice to student's "Important thing is not to stop questioning".We must atleast make an attempt in applying them.Rather than "assuming" or stopping in the bud like few school teachers "Don't look into the book,Don't ask that,U will learn later,Don't enquire,Do it.I tell you,Do it".
I really didn't like typing this mail for the "first" time here to the members,but few mails I received even after the reply mail to Sridhar makes me to feel sad over few member's comments.Members might notice there was an earlier mail without any comments,that was by mistake I pressed the send button...Intha Maathiriyanaa Oru Mail Ivvalavu Padicha Janangalukku Mail Pannanumaa appodeennu kulappam....You may believe it or not. But to give respect to all,I have to speak(but it will not continue).I give full and due respect to all here,but if people wants to wear different glasses I am sorry I don't know whats your "viewing problems are".And thats not my business here to explain each and every word..or to browse all the messages.. But I remind there is a word called Double-Standard,even here the word meaning is one,but if someone wants to take away "-" then it gives two words.
I understand that out of now, there are 245 members in this really happy and active group. I am not going to take any pains in going through the archieves.Few believe that sooo...when I refered the "left thigh" and "many wives" I was refering it to the quite recent maybe within a week's some photos link, that was provided with these words that was not something I like to discuss in "THIS" learned and cultured members.
"Beauty lies in its beholder",Its not just beauty but "everything". Thats why people say "Attitude is everything in life". I am not going to give more than what I explained already on "Kumbalodu Kovinda" or "Tanglish" or "Vs and Ms" or whatever that pops these days as even after my reply to Sridhar's question on appreciating trivia or asking my suggestion. Thats not what I am here for....Very much in lines as I will not be away from Computers soon,I think I would like to remind the first mail I sent...
"Happy to be here and learn and share.Just a small suggestion,How can Ponniyin Selvan bemade more popular among the younger generations?I missed it when I was young,so thats one reason why Ifeel that it should be made more popular."
And in reply to Sridhar's question or suggestion very recent mail,yesterday the 10th April,
"Even if there are many answers,oneidea is of "BRIGING IN AS MANY AS SCHOOL CHILDREN" inthe maximum number"
(Please note:I am not preaching,but I wish that learned members here share their research findings if they wish with paper publications,journal conferences or written articles in magazines or similar ones)
Also its natural for everyone to ask what is this group's interest as Arul had asked.
I don't want to go more detail into this issue which I think is of no interest for the majority of this group. I also wanted to make everyone to speak and air their opinion,NOT JUST ONLY ON MY TOPICS,BUT EVEN ON OTHER INTERESTING TOPICS. As for "Dr", Again you may wear any glasses and see from wherever you stand(remember there are infinite number of points to view and infinite number of glasses to use),to see what I reffered.My intension was not as what few were assuming.It was infact replied in reply to Sridhar's link of Sangam Education.
Here again, "a study of this society shows that education was notformalized or institutionalized" is something verygreat to read...bcos today we see "socialDarwinismmmss" too much hitting on almost all societyin world....I could understand why Sangam Tamils excelled.
To be simpler than the words above says,I take this not because of one person's view,but it made a call on "Dr" qualified people whether it was white coat doctor or not. In those Chola's time or Sangam Tamil period, we come to know they possesed excellent knowledge in many fields...but was there any "institutions" or "formalised" education given?to call some one as "Dr.Valluvar" or "Dr.Avvaiyar" or "Dr.Kambar" or even "Dr.Bharathy" or you may name in ANY other fields as you may like.
The idea of giving "Dr" qualification is a recent one. If anyone knows what is Social Darwinism is all about then they can understand what I meant.I give and salute all due respects for all the qualified persons with ANY "Dr".
I want to remind you all(learn and share what I learnt and to share), something that I came across, "If stealing from one person is plagearism" then "stealing from many is research". "Just bcos one cann't proove Dinnasours didn't dance,one can say Dinnasours danced". Something like the man in moon.
members are welcome to do internet search to know all these meanings and more...I thought I can learn,I am not interested in preaching,but in sharing what I learnt.If that stands as a way in their "Vs and Ms".
By the way,before asking my definition on "vital information" I wonder whats the definition that was given when it was typed?For me as mentioned its infinite answers and thats the reason for me to ask,what it meant to the group?
By sending some links to other groups I wonder what it meant?I can be silenced,but Tamil will take care of itself,and mainly by this group's sincere Tamil lovers to whose contribution mine is "kaal-kaasu praYojanam" measuring in physical or research levels.With humble respects to all who contribute,Good luck for further contributions.
One last final saying, "Wiseman showed his finger to the moon,the fool looked at his finger"..
Best Wishes as Always, Mathav I do agree to the comment if one goes too fast,one may not enjoy.

Dear Madhav Sorry I missed your 10th april mail.Must have deleted without reading it...The newscientist veiwpoint was very good.Bravo!!!
All the govt schools in tamilnadu have the literary works...atleast PS SS A good few sandilyans books....Infact I have read a few of them when my Mother was working as a teacher..
Just after the Sun TV interveiw and kalki article this group has just doubled there are loads who have started to read..That something isnt it
It is always nice to take things in a good note....I did visit quite a lot of your links and so I dids with the linx on Tamil groups and cultures....It was just directing you to something which discusses similar issues.....
Yes there are 245 members and it is ardous task for Ram to delete all of them on a regular basis that is why Gokul had consolidated them I ve done some So someone coming in will be able to just browse it.
RAM ARE WE RUNNING OUT OF SPACE???DOES OUR WEBSITE NEED MORE SPACE?
Your thoughts and ideas are nice....Unless you ask nothing happens...If a research associate in virginia didnt think of this we wouldnt be netmeeting and chatting....
It definitely makes me proud...that tamils are in every nook and corner.
There is a time and place for everything...there is no point in critisizing what others do....
Each one reacts differently to different things.....I have searched and read so many references after reading a novel...just fiction but still it tells you something and if you are enriched after that the author has acheived it.
Dont take things to heart...Keep on doing the good work without hurting others sentiments...
I admire the same people as you I think in a different time and age gandhi would have been a founder of a religeon...I love Bharathi..I admired Abdul Kalam till he became a politician..If he truely excercises the presidential powers then He ll regain my respect(Aama naan madhikathahu than ippa mukkiyam)I admired is vision for India but time has to tell if it ll be a reality.
Each person has a passion we cannot impose ours on them.
Everybody sees things and asks why I dream of things that were never there and ask why not ( Its not original but cannot remember the author) Hope you understand
