Uttama vs Arulmozhi
Father's younger brother is chittappa (we call chittiya); elder brother is periappa. But the proverb 'athaikku meesai mulacha chittappa' is intriguing! Athai can be elder or younger to the father! Sampath

I think Vandiyathevan is the real, de facto hero of PS. I remember Kalki uses a phrase' nam kadaiyin nayakan' somewhere to refer ot VD. may be, I have to read the novel again to locate the reference. Sampath

My experiments at blogging
Nice VJ. Will go through the site at leisure. The old man with newspapers in front of the panel is a bit distracting, but the framing gives an idea of the size of the panel. Sampath

My first article in Spanish!
Congrds, Shriram. The article is visually very pleasing. Have you visited Spain? If not my, my best wishes for a trip to Spain. Who knows, you will also buy a house in Madrid like Viswanathan Anand. Sampath

Mahabharat Visuals - NTR as Krishna
This is also an unique situation. The king supporting one side and ordering his army to fight against the side he is supporting. Impossible to visualise in today's environment. Sampath

Big temple in danger????
Remember the recent controversy, when Ms. Jayalalitha's govt. ordered the gopurams to be painted off-white, there was vehement opposition from several quarters; and 'colours' won the day. Sampath

Trip to Thanjavur!!!!!!
Venket: I agree with you. What has happened cannot be reversed. It is better to interact with the seniors of the ASI, and make them commit more care, resources - financial, technical and manpower, and complete the restoration as quickly as possible.…

Creating Record?
VV jinx has a negative connotation and means an evil spell or a person believed to bring bad luck. I thought of recommending 'booty, but this also means 'Goods or money obtained illegally'. We have to look for a better word. Sampath

India in 1835....
My observation is - all those who take temporary residence (students, professional assignments, job contracts etc.) in US and those who stay for longer periods, talk with American accent; and the accent is picked up very fast, in less than a year.…

Damage to Big Temple ?? Does somebody have info ?
Really shocking. Your report must be sent to Sathyabhama Badrinath, Superintendent Archeologist; if the work is given to an unapproved contractor, the head of ASI must step in and make amends; he is answerable. Sampath

I think the sloka went like this: Aswattama Bali Vyasa Hanumanasya Vibhishinaha; Kripa Parsasurama Satyo Chiranjivinaha. I am not sure 'satyaha' means verily or another peron. Sampath

Hindu Religion is the offshoot of St.Thomas
Very well said, Satish. I can add only one line: one needs the advice of a guru or acharya to select what to eat that will suit his/her temperament, constitution, intention and aptitude. The leaf supports all - dharayati - as the paramatma. Sampath
