		minnal varigaL - A CONTEST !!!
		------------------------------

	Thanks to an idea from Sivabala Narayanan and the assistance
of Satish Subramaniam, it is now proposed to hold  regular contests
to select the best minnal varigaLs that have been posted in a month and,
if possible, a year. We hope that such a competition will enhance the
value of this thread and make it more enjoyable. Your comments and
suggestions are welcome. They can be addressed to either 

	kanth@cse.ogi.edu or
	sivabala@hilde.nurse.washington.edu or
	subraman@cs.umn.edu.

	The rules of this contest (as framed by Sivabala and modified
by Satish and myself) are as under :
 
                             MINNAL VARIGAL CONTEST

1. The minnal varigaLs which appear during a month will be collected
   and posted on the net for review on the first of the following
   month. Only varigaLs contributed through Srikanth will be considered.

2. Each voter shall then pick his/her top 5 ordered choices and send the
   minnal varigaL numbers to Siva (sivabala@u.washington.edu) no later
   than the the fifth of each month. 

3. Each first choice will be given a weight of 5,
   each second, a weight of four and so on. The weights will then be
   totalled up and the top three minnal varigaLs and their 
   contributors announced. The names of the voters who have the three 
   winning varigaLs as their top three choices will also be announced.
   
4. (Hopefully,)At the end of 12 months, a similar poll will be 
   conducted using the the top 3 minnal varigaLs of each month, 
   which would decide the "minnal varigaL of the year" and the 
   "Best Contributor of the year". 

5. If two persons happen to contribute the same minnal varigaL,
   the one who sent it first will be the contributor.

6. The co-ordinators of the contest (Satish, Siva and Srikanth) are
   not eligible to vote.

The  whole caste system would amaze you. In one of my friend's family the 
brothers belong to various different categories. My friend's eldest brother
is considered FC or the so called Forward Caste, my fried has been categorized
as BC and his youngest brother has managed to get himself categorized as
SC. All of these happened over a span of few years. The classification and
further reclassification all depends on how much clout and money you have.

The whole purpose of RESERVATION SYSTEM i.e to achieve equality has long been
defeated.

Just my $ 0.02 worth..

Subject: An incident in a PTC bus...

Organization: Masters student, Mechanical Engineering, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA

Hi folks,

An interesting incident in a PTC bus in Madras.

I was going in the 18b bus from LIC to Kotturpuram.  It was around
8.30 in the morning and the bus was as usual fully loaded.  As is
the norm, there were a bunch of romeos ogling the SIET college
girls.( Yes, the bus goes over SIET.)  And there was an old man who
was sitting in the seat for the Handicapped and Old.  He was quite
old and looked sick too.  But one of the SIET girls who was standing
near the seat started nudging him because he was sitting in a Ladies
seat.  ( Hope you know the seating arrangement in Madras buses.  Lookin
g to the front from within the bus, all seats on the left are
for Ladies and all on the right for Gents. But usually ladies do
get right to sit even in these Gents seats - esp. if they come as
a family etc. )

  The girl started nudging the old man and started commenting on how
the men sit in the ladies seat and how difficult it is to travel
standing with you seat taken by somebody else bla bla....
A particular romeo who was watching this scene came up to the oldman
and said, " Dai endhirida.  Vayasu payyan vunakkenna seattu.  PAtti
nikkarAnga ille ?"  The whole bus burst out laughing.
Regards,

Balaji/...

 This happened when I was travelling from Chidambaram to Karaikudi
in a TTC bus. Beyond Pudukottai, there is one narrow bridge where
only one bus can go. From the opposite side, a Maruthupandiar
transport corporation(MPTC) bus had already entered the bridge.
Our TTC driver should have waited till MPTC passed the bridge.
But he didn't. MPTC driver asked TTC driver to go reverse.
The TTC driver was adamant and as he was driving a state(??) bus, 
insisted the MPTC bus to go reverse. After a nearly ten minute
argument, the MPTC driver went back and gave the way to TTC.
Our driver continued the driving with a victorious smile.
  At one gated railway crossing, he had to stop as some train was 
coming. Somebody in the bus commented:" idhu state vaNdinna, adhu
central vaNdi paaru. ninnudhaan aakanum".
Everybody started laughing to the annoyance of the driver.

Reminiscing,
Venkat

Gopal! I think U have misunderstood me! correct me if I am wrong. I am not
giving 'thema' as an example of single syllable word. Normally a word is
divided to see what cIIr it is and then noting the  sequence of
such cIIrs, one identifies what kind of verse it is. I agree that thema
cannot represent single syllablle word.

Now to refute U'r statement that no-where a single syllable can occur, I am
giving here an examble.

"mantira Mavadu nEEru vAnavar mEladu nEEry
.....
......
......
senduvar vAimai pangan - thiru vAlavA yAAnthiru nEEre"

here 'thiru' in the last line is a single syllable. I will continue later.
