It's neat trivia in English but it doesn't work for Malayalam.  First
of all, the third 'a' is long and the two ells are different:  the
first is dental and the second has a retroflex articulation.  So, a
more phonetic way of writing it might be:  malayaaLam.  Also,
"Malayalam" in standard Malayalam orthography doesn't end up a
palindrome.

However, that doesn't stop _me_ from pointing out this fact of English
orthography to curious North Americans.

I think you should avoid making claims about stuff  you don't have much
background info.  Kerala *does* grow some of the best south Indian
coffee.  for eg in the Nelliampathy hills(the spelling might not be
strictly accurate).  and you're certainly off the mark on tea unless
you're willing to ignore Assam/Darjeeling.Ofcourse in the last decade,
because of labor strife productivity has probably been very low.

In my views "immersion learning" of any thing at early stage, childhood,
is not necessary. An adult's decision about involving him/herself into
"immersion learning", however, is a matter of his/her own choice. What
is so upsetting about this whole incident is the type of punishment
they used in this matter. I do not know how common the punishment of
of shaving head is in Kerala or other South indian schools. But to me
it seems that such severe punishments will do permanent damage to the
psychology of the young one.

I have one additional question in this matter.

Were parents of the child informed of the mode of punishment ahead
of when the infraction took place ?

If they knew about it and still let that happened I feel sorry
for the child. But if they did not know about it and the school
suddenly decided that shaving head is a suitable punishment then
they should shave the headmaster and the school management (take
them to court).

disgusted on this incident..         Deepak

Hello there,

	First let me congratulate you guys for forming this news group.
	I am checking if anybody out there has any idea about the latest
	political unrest going on in kerala.

	I heard last week the police & army shot and killed 6 people in 
	Trivandrum. Can somebody out there throw some light on this.

	Similarly what is the latest on Karunakaran. I heard he has come to
	USA for medical treatment and his briefcase consisting "dollars" was
	stolen. Any more details.

	Is Karunakaran completely bed ridden after the accident?. I heard
	his son Murali and Mr.Padma Kumar(kerala chief Secetary) is running
	the show in Karunakaran's absence. Oomen Chandy and the rest Anthony
	group is kept at bay by Murali and his group, is it true?.

	I would appreciate if somebody can throw some light on this.

Thanks

     I think if you can post a few KuRaLs at a time WITH ORIGINAL WORDS of
     ThiruvaLLuvar, it would be more enjoyable to know C.R's translations.
     Mere English translations are considerably less enjoyable and besides
     translations don't always bring out the "uyir". In my opinion almost
     all translations in "culturally different" languages are uyirless.
     An analogy would it is like a statue of a real living man - almost
     true in form but devoid of life-current ( uyir). I like your selections
     but just felt that it would be so much more enjoyable with original
     couplets.

Topic : The Life-Partner
-----   ---------------

*
 She is a true life-companion who proves equal to the tasks of a
householder's life adjusting herself to the bread-winner's resources.

(It is essential for happiness in family life that culturally and
economically the wife should fall into line with the family of her
adoption.  The partnership will not work otherwise.


*
 There is not true family life where the wife has not the qualities
required for fulfilling the duties of a good house-holder. If the
mistress of the house has not these qualities, neither wealth nor other
circumstance can be of any avail:

(The husband's virtues cannot make up for it)


*
 If the mistress of the house possesses the qualities of a true
life-partner, nothing will be wanting.  Otherwise, naught will avail.


*
 What possession of greater value can one have than a wife, if she be
firm in her loyalty to her partner in life?

(KARPU is not mere physical chastity.  It is unqualified loyalty to
husband.)


*
 The true wife thinks not of God when she rises in the morning.  She
offers her worship to the husband and that is enough. Even the clouds
will obey and pour the rain at her command.

(The Vedanta philosophy as well as Hindu practice recognize forms of
worship which enable the devotee to see the supreme Deity in every object
of love or adoration.  Husband-worship is not a neglect of God.


*
 Of what use is that purity which is brought about by physical
restrictions placed on women?  Their own conscience is the best watch.


Cheers

Try the following stuff.. Assuming you are working in a UNIX system, 

Why don't you try to go to the news spool directory to see if you're beginning
to get sct. This spool directory could be in your local machine or remote. Try
cd /usr/spool/news/soc/culture/tamil. If you can't find the directory or if
/usr/spool/news is empty, then you are accessing news remotely. If you know
where this host is do telnet <hostname> nntp. Then enter
group soc.culture.tamil. If your system returns an error, then you don't get
it. There is not a whole lot you can do if you don't get it..
 
I think your nntp host is uflorida.cis.ufl.edu. So do
telnet uflorida.cis.ufl.edu nntp
group soc.culture.tamil
 
Good luck

The effort is purely voluntary and may or may not conribute results. 
Yet I hope that it can produce a comparative chart that might be
