Its very easy to preach philosophy. But, when Gandheism is especially dead 
and buried deep in India itself one should be careful in preaching ahimsa.

Dont' talk about 'paavam' before you know the reality. Don't write about
'shedding the blood and tears of innonecents' when my people(Tamils) are
dying 
everyday on their land with bombs from air, shells from the sea and
bulltes from the Sinhala troops. You, of course the right to express
your opinion. But, remember: we don't need any of your crocodile tears
either.

The following is the Adami transliteration scheme developed by
Dr. K.Srinivasan (srini@ireq-num.hydro.qc.ca). I am posting it
on his request.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
                     ADAMI transliteration scheme
The scheme is based on common English pronunciation of words. The exceptions
and special considerations apply to the following. 'L' as in avaL(she).
'z/zh' in mazhai(rain). R as in aRivu (knowledge). 'q' for Tamil Aq.
'N' as in aNai (dam, extinguish, embrace).
't' as in tank, 'th' as in thank. 'r' as in rank.
'a' as in pal(teeth). 'aa' as in paal(milk).
'i' as in 'vidu' (leave). 'ee' as in 'veedu' (house).
'u' as in 'thuLi' (drop). 'oo' as in 'thooLi(cradle)'.
'e' as in 'edu'(take). 'E' as in 'Edu'(milk skin). 'ai' as in 'kai'(hand).
'o' as in 'thodu (touch), 'O' as in 'thOdu' (ear ring). 'au/ow' as in maunam.
Normally 'n' is sufficient for all nasals like naan(I), panchu (cotton),
vaangu(buy), vandu(bee). However, if confusion is likely to occur, then
use 'NG' for iNGNGanam (this way), NY for NYaayar (Sun). 
's' is equivalent to 'c/ch'. 'S' for 'Sarpam' (snake), 'sh' for 'ushaa'.
'H' for 'Hindhi', 'x/ksh' for Lakshmee.

I always wondered why all Tamils,irrespective of their castes have no family 
name. Tamil cousins do not have the same last name as others in the country do.
We just end up adding one more first name as our last name. This is also
true among tamil muslims and christians. Does anyone know if this was in

Can't speak for others but I wanted to pick one of the three logical choices
for me : Iyer, Lalgudi or Madras.

If I picked Iyer, then the Thamizhkkula patriots would have harassed me to death(in school) and I would have been branded a racist..

Lalgudi, I have never visited my hometown, though I think it will make a great
last name !

Madras ? Well, Mr.Madras brings up the image of those oily hunks in diapers ...

Then, there is the advantage in having names that do not reveal your identity.

I think my name, Shivakumar (which is officially my last name) fetched me
more friends among Indians than 'Pazhaniappan' would have (no offense to people
with that name). IMHO, we Indians are terribly perjudiced ...

For persons like Mr Selvakumar, the article I wrote was a joke (if you thought
otherwise). I have no intentions of following up your aryan/dravidian articles
which I feel not relevant to me and I think it is Bull-Shit (BS).

But I could not prevent laughing at your conclusions that the entire world is

"naan padum paadal" was also a mediocre movie w/o any doubts.  In fact we can
count the non-mediocre movies in Tamil released during the last 10 years.

thaNNeer thaNNeer (1982) - Komal Swaminathan and K.Balachander,
oru inthiyak kanavu (1983) - Komal Swaminathan,
veedu (1988) - Balu Mahendra
     these three for the theme and realism.


maRu pakkam (1991) for the theme and realistic expression of inner feelings in
a changing society.  - Sethu Mathavan


muthal mariyathai (1985) for its artistic touch.
puthumaip peN (1986) and vedham puthithu (1989) for the controversial theme
and the messages.  But all these Bharathi Raja's movies are not very realistic,
and commercial too.  KB's `achchamillai achchamillai'(1983) joins this
category.


poove poochchoodava by Facil was commercial but realistic to a certain level.


There was one movie by John Abraham (MalayaLam director) "agraharaththil
Kazhuthai"  was never released in TN theaters thanks to the Brahmin lobby.  It
was not allowed to be screened by the TV in its national network at the last
minute, sorry, the last second by our ex. Hon president RV.  The story was by a
well known Tamil literary critic Venkat Swaminathan who was a Brahmin and those
from the Film colleges say that there is nothing against  Brahmins except the
title.


Other than that, Mani Ratnam, Bagya Raj, T. Rajendar, R. Sundararajan,  Telugu
K. Viswanath are all just making business and are really very talented in it.
They satisfy different types of crowds.  Bharathi Raja, KB, Balu Mahendra are
also not exceptional.


I may have missed a few (very few) other movies.  Please correct me if I have
the years gotten wrong above.

Our movie world has to learn a lot more from MalayaLam cinemas.  Even most of
the commercial MalayaLam movies are not mediocre like Tamil movies.

Well, Sriperumpudur is not 30 miles from Chitoor.  It is 117 kms from
Chitoor and is 40 kms from Madras ( I mean Broadway ).  Sriperumpudur
had been famous for but one thing - Sri Ramanuja was born there - until
4 years ago.  Ever since Rajiv Gandhi was killed there and the
Cholavaram race track was shifted to Sriperumpudur, it has been more
in the news.

Considering the fact that the suburbs of Madras are well within 10 kms
of Sriperumpudur as of today, I think by the turn of the century,
SPPudur will be like what Poonamallee is today to Madras.  And the border of
Andrapradesh is more nearer to Madras than to Sriperumpudur !
