Actor Nambiar passes away
Hmmm.... how sad.... I had always visualized him as the Chinna Pazhuvettaraiyar in my own imaginary filmed version of PS.... He might have played both the parts - of the scheming anti-Chola-establishmentarian and the reformed loyalist with style... …

ARR
Thanks, Sathish. At last, someone pointed out the uselessness of such arguments. I am a die-hard IR fan (my friends call me an IR-Windmill) and I have my own views on other music composers (naturally), but I believe this argument has gone way off …

Blogsite on sculpture
The temple is well preserved today because of the efforts of the TVS Group. Their founder, Sri.TV Sundaram Iyengar was born here, and their family still owns a large house in the village (in fact, the initial T in TVS stands for Thirukkurungudi). Be…

Learning indian history
Sorry there is a mistake (as usual) in my post.... Cholas ran the kitchen for the Pandavas (and not Pandiyas as I had written). My obsession with PS possibly made me read Pandiyas for Pandavas. Anyway, now we know why the Pandavas won the war!

Learning indian history
We all know the Mahabharata has references to Cholas (besides Pandiyas and Cheras). They all took part in the great war, and were on the Pandava side (thank god for that). I was looking for some info, and I found this ISKCON article that says the Ch…

Regarding PS group in Kalki
Dear Sir, Great to learn that we had a write-up in Kalki some years back. I was not in Chennai then, and I might have missed that particular issue. If someone here has this original issue, could he/she share it with others? Or, could we request yo…
