Thirumazhabaadi
What a coincidence. I was re-reading PS Part I recently and when I came across this scene, I was also thinking the same - 'How come 'Mazhavaraayan Magal' (in Kalki's own words in these episodes) did not know about "Thirum…

WHO IS BETTER EDITOR
You are really blessed and fortunate Dhivakar Sir. Rajaji was really a far-sighted statesman - a man much ahead of his time. He foresaw the economic future of India and took the line of globalisation and an economy with judicious capitalisation. …

WHO IS BETTER EDITOR
Dear Mr.Maha, Call it co-incidence, divine design or whatever - but this happened. Less than a week ago (rather 3-4 days back) our parents were telling me and my sister about the magazines of those days - Kumudam, Kalki and Vikatan. (for me thes…

The Royal Temple of Rajaraja
Dear SPS Sir, I am surprised to read that there is difference in opinion that both (Nambiandar Nambi and Raja Raja Chola) were not contemporaries. Nambiandar Nambi gets a mention in 'Ponniyin Selvan' also - as "Thirunaaraiyur Nambi…

Siva's daughter :: Dr.Kalaikkovan in www.varalaaru.com
Dear Mr. Dhiwakar, 'Vel' is an embodiment of the Mother Goddess, i.e. the mother of Murugan, Devi Parvathi (Shakthi). Legend says that the 'Vel' was given by Devi to Murugan when he proceeded to attack Soorapadman. That is why i…
