	Bharathi was a firm believer in the 'shakthi' concept(inspired
	by Sri Aurobindo) which held that every life and energy form is
	a manifestation of Shakthi in reality. Accordingly, Fire is the
	most patent of these manifestations and touching fire is touching
	god Himself(Though Bharathi has always visualised
	Shakthi in a feminine form, gender of God was more of a poetical
	necessity rather than a mental fixation ).

I would appreciate if some people can post Tamil quotes, (mentioning the
source) for the following themes. I intend using it in a technical presentation

1. The more we know, the more remains to be known.
2. Perfection is not absolute. It is subjective.
3. One person's medicine is another person's poison.

Related areas.

There must be some in Tirukkural. Post both Tamil and the famous English

           This is a song from paarathi's kuyil paaddu  collection.
  The female kuyil is deserted by its males.  She sings to the
poet: I like the poem for the anti-monies that rhyme. This
poem is an example of how simple and yet how rich tamizh can be.

Same strory among the Eelam Tamils. 
Its very very sad. It involves castes also. Xtra dowry makes up for
'lesser caste' status. Don't forget the broker. Just look at the going

       Lots of people get confused by the "Hindu Maya". They  want
to be identified as Hindus or they are told that they are Hindus.
here is the catch. If somebody says he/she is a hindu it is the
vaguest thing in the world. It is equivalent to saying I am a person.
The so called Hinduism is not just one belief. It consists
of several local beliefs varying from place to place. There
is no basis for all the beliefs and practices in the vEdaas or
Sanskrit. Some people who say vEdaas and Gita talk about hinduism
should rephrase and say "brahmanism". 


      Dr Sinha came out of this maaya and said,

      Brahmanism not equal to hinduism.

	Heh heh heh very funny indeed. Seems like the tiger Gobbels has

	"Shrewdness,wickedness and sycophancy of the CM of TN ?Perhaps
	he can include the same to describe his all mighty Herr Prabha!
	And while he is at it might as well add the terms "megalomaniac,
	Sycopath  and many many more to the list.If anybody is suitable
	for Animal farm the best would be these Tiger animals and their
	US paper tigers!!
		As far as I know Ms.Jeyalalitha was elected by a majority
	of people in TN and hence she has every right to claim the title
	'Chief Minister'.If (as the tiger Gobbels suggests) she is a 
	witch or whatever somebody wants to call her it is up to the
	people of TN to vote her out of office in the next elections.
	It is ludicurous to get advice from somebody who has continously
	praised the virtues of a bunch of thugs and murders to deal 
	with Ms Jeya.After all she did'nt sucker her followers to go
	and blow themselves up to get rid of her political opponents!!
		The tiger Gobbels also has the audacity to complain
	about the "CULT" of Ms Jeya.Well look who is talking.He and his
	bunch of followers are the biggest cult you can ever think of!
	They even (i.e.LTTE) swear their allegiance to the "supreme 
	leader" as shown from the excerpt from Asia Week below.

	the nobel cause of liberating our home land and to abide by the

Mr. Kumar,

Your posting in SCI is incorrect. Rajinikant
took 1 crore for the movie ANNAMALAI, if fact
the highest money ever by a tamil actor. For
authentic source check the august issues of
India Today. There is an article
on Indian Film Industry where they
clearly mention this. Moreover
Chranjeevi is the highest paid actor
in India with 1.25 crores for his
movie Aaaj Ka Goonda raj and Vijashanti
is the highest paid female actress.

I am sorry if I was incorrect. But according to reliable sources
from film industry, Rajinikanth did act free of pay for the movie 
Annamalai.

Anyway, whatever it may be, thanks Krishnan for your corrections.

Anpudan,

V R Kumar

Sorry about that. Like Gazni mohammad, I was trying my hand at
being funny. Wish me better luck next time.

Thanks for the informative article.

Madam is NOT ignorance.

It certainly means "aRindhum aRiyaadhadhu pOl iruththal"

I can't remember any references off-hand.  I will see what I can get on this 
subject.

The movie is "Vedam Puthithu".

It was directed by BharatiRaja

The actors were Amala, Charuhasan, Saritha. I forgot the name of
the main actor.

The song is very melodious in Shanmugapriya Ragam.
