Hello Netters,

	The novel of sa. Kandasamy, "Tholaindhu pOnavarkaL" was indeed came
as a TV serial in 2nd channel. When I happened to read the book, I thought that
a movie, if taken based on this story, would win a national award and a sure 
hit !!!.

	I rate the serial as the best one I have ever seen in Madras TV. You
should see that. This is about 4 friends, who had been thogether like blood
and flesh, in their boyhood days. In course of time, all the fellows get apart
and one of the friend, who is in good position, tries to find the rest of his
friends and try to get a photograph together again!!!

	The four boys have really acted great. Rajesh had done a wonderful
job. The person who acts as a ex. army fellow, steals the heart.

	It was a marvellous effort bt the Film Inst. students!!. I truly
recollected my boyhood memories and I heard that they also had the same feelings
and some of the scenes really steal your heart. The pace of the serial might be
slow, but it was like re-living your best past!!!


	After all, how can one forget his boyhood, the best part of a man's
life?


regards,


Srinivasan Thothathri.

These kinds of stupid statements are those that prevent healthy discussion,
and who all are you referring to in `we' ?

Anyway, that was a well written article. It is true that hindu fundamentalism  
is tending to become like the Islamic fundamentalism and we might have science 
being corrupted by these elements. He takes it a bit too far when he equates 
secularism with `atheism' (partly explains Sankarapandi's interest in an 
article totally unrelated to TN culture except that the author is 
from Madras :-)).

    I also have no problems with introducing `vedic mathematics' if 
any such thing is found to exist (as long as we do not have one of those
theological schools). It is ridiculous to dismiss it if it really
existed. Only thing is that it should not refute the modern science but
can supplement it (teaching calculus and saying that we had it 2000 years
back really doesn't hurt). The basic thing is that we should be taught
our history as it is (with no bias on either side).

It's a garbage dump for Jeya and her scums. A true dream come true for
the central government; a Brahman as the chief of a Dravidian party
pretending to look after Tamil interests. Its like letting the cat guard
the mice! 
RT, (a faceless Brahman under a pretentious Tamil skin) should know something-
Jaffna is not a carbage dump. It was under the Indian People(Tamil)
Killing Force. If the true picture of Jaffna reaches the Tamil mass in
Tamil Nadu, it woyld be a nightmare for Jeya and Rao(another Brahman).
So, you better pray to that end.

I should shed some light on the Tamil workers in the SR tea plantations.
I don't know a lot...but I can try.

In the late 1800's the Crown brought thousands of Tamils from
TN(labelled as 'koolis' by the British) to the tea planations in and
around the central hills
of Ceylon. Numbering atleast 1/2 million now, their cheap labor
exploited by the government was critical to Ceylon's economy after
independence. Even now, they are paid cheap, live in cramped 'box
houses' with basic ammenities and are treated second class by the
Sinhalase and wealthy Tamils from Colombo and Jaffna. They don't have
the same acces to education as others do. Many children, if they are not
'useful' to parents in an economic sense, become houselhold servants.
Srima-Shastri agreememt was supposed to give them SR citizenship? From
what I know, many cannot even vote now! Surrounded by upcountry
Sinhalase, they are absolutely defenseless against Sinhalase
attacks(arson, killings, etc). When the Sinhalase can't hit us, these
Tamils receive the blows. 

Now. Some are now with the Tamil force(Tigers). In future Eelam, these
Tamils 'stuck' in the middle with Sinhalase can settle down. It's sad
that we have to fight to retain and recover our OWN tradidtional lands.
If we lose the East(of SR) to Sinhalase, then there would not be a place
for the upcountry Tamils. A place to call home after decades of
servitute to the Crown followed by SR government.

	Hi Venkat (and his friends),

	On PBS (KCET, Los Angeles) Travel Series last Monday, the temple city
	Chidhambaram was shown for about 15 minutes. It was presented by
	Michael Wood (he presented earlier 'Legacy' series in which Madurai
	was shown) mostly cocentrating on the Temple. Look for it in your
	area PBS, if it hasn't been already shown.

	He describes it is the center of Tamil culture, with a tradition
	poetry, dance, music and education. 

	Apart from the temple, the streets, with full of people and  automobils,
	a Gandhi statue, cinema posters, both Tamil and English, a Tamil
	family etc. are shown. While having a Masala Dosa at a local restaurant,
	he described that as a 'full meal'. 

	This was preceded by places Kasi (Benaras) and Calcutta. 

	He made similar statments in his commentary about both Kasi and 
	Chidambaram that '.... believe this is center of the Universe'.
	(Is Universe ellipsoidal?).

	While showing Calcutta, he discusses with few people in a local bar
	and one of them claimed in next 50 years, India will be the least
	religious place on the earth.

if so,  poor guy, he preached ahimsaa when alive and was assassinated [ 
no pun intended or implied ;-)] and now even his statue is getting bombed. 
may be for a change, now a days, they are blowing up statues ;-). 

must be a revenge attack for the death of Kittu. well, i never thought, in 
this world, mahatma gandhi's status would stoop so low to be blown up to 
pieces to avenge the death of a terroist (aka freedom fighter in eelam :-)). 
may be blowing up the symbol of non-violence is a statergic ploy to get 
freedom quickly. you never know these freedom fighters, you see. their goal 
is freedom, and they try to achieve it in whatever way they can, even it 
means extinction of their own people. long live ...., who/what can it be [
whatever/whoever it is, should be alive] ?

what can i say ? so much for his ahimsaa. arE gandhithiji, perhaps, you 
lived in the wrong world. 

poor guy, mahatma gandhi, leave him (his statue :-)) alone. may his 
soul and statue rest in peace.  

>Assholes!

hey keep cool man. you can only reason out with humans and with freedom 
fighters, hell no ! see what happened to mahatma gandhis' statue who did 
not even know that this freedom :-) movement existed and hence never had a 
chance to speak on it either. so save ur words and energy.
