    Cool, just finished reading the dead tree version.

    Based on a real life story ?

    How long did it take from submission to appearing in print ?

    Thank you bnb.

    //Based on a real life story ?//
    No. Apart from some inevitable strands of influence is some parts of the stories, this one is largely imagined. Namesake narrator triggers such questions eh :-)

    //How long did it take from submission to appearing in print ?//
    Print journey was short but long. adhAvadhu.. I sent it sometime last year - with stamps to return. Didn't hear back for like 4-5 months and when I asked about it, heard they hadn't received it all ! So I resent it sometime in early March and now it is in the June issue.

    Thank You. But it is a case of "idhar aaO". I quoted the same in the very first post when I started the blog.

    Thank You Calvin.
    The story's is in Tamil, the title roughly translates to 'making peace'.
    It is about possibilities and impossibilities of people making peace with the past, with others and with themselves.
    The snap is about a year old.

    interesting!
    y would you say impossibilities of making peace with the past and with oneself?
    I feel that even though coming to terms with the past and with oneself might be the most difficult of things to do.. but its still possible..
    Wht might be impossible be making peace with others..
    anyhow.. would you have an english version of the same? it would be great to read..

    FYI, you look like a kid in this snap prabhu.. ;-)

    Well let us say it is possible sometimes and not possible sometimes because certain events/occurrences leave an indelible stamp that cannot be wished away. In any case this is more the story of a few characters, which readers extrapolate and universalize at their own peril !

    The photo discourages the readers from taking the story seriously. I shall summarily sport a beard and rebel against nature's ploy of denying me my Nobel.

    Thanks aNNAthE !
    Unfortunately Amudhasurabhi isn't available online. I've emailed you the manuscript. The one that made it to print suffered some edits though.

The Legend of Butler Kandappar

Foreword I had intended to post this on Vaikāsi Anusham.  But today is Ayōthidāsar’s birthday and I saw  a tweet by the TN BJP  chief claiming  "திருக்குறளை இன்றைய அச்சு வடிவத்திற்குக் கொண்டு வருவதற்கு அரும்பணியாற்றியவர்".   This, in in of itself is a curious claim. Ayōthidāsar did write a commentary to it from his point of view. But that hardly qualifies as the definitive form we see today ( " இன்றைய அச்சு வடிவம்") I infer what Annamalai is referring to is  Ayōthidāsar’s claim to be the descendant of the heroic Butler Kandappan whose intervention ensured we have the text today. Story The story of ‘Butler Kandappan saving the TirukkuRaL manuscripts seems to have come from Ayōthidāsar himself,  like many others! 
I have not read Ayōthidāsar’s own’s words on the claim but many, including reliable scholars like Stalin Rajangam and Prof.Dharmaraj have made the claims that Butler Kandappar was the one who gave the kuRaL manuscript to F.W.Ellis (via Lor...

A few days back I managed to catch Thevar Magan and, as is my wont whenever I watch it, started raving about it. This time I also managed to have a conversation about it with @kalyanasc on twitter. Following the principle of 'Have Blog. Will Archive", I thought I'd post it here. Oh, the things I do for posterity! @ dagalti How much credit would like to give the late Bharathan? It is also beautifully photographed, especially Gowthami #ThevarMagan — Kalyan Raman (@kalyanasc) June 10, 2012 @ kalyansc I know nothing of Bharathan's works actually.I don't think his only other Tamil film (Avarampoo, (cont) tl.gd/hpiuov — dagalti (@dagalti) June 10, 2012 Credit Sharing - local-flavour I know nothing of Bharathan's works actually.I don't think his only other Tamil film (Avarampoo, which is a remake of his Malayalam film based on Padmarajan's script) reflective all the nice things I hear about him. Moreover, I am very partial to writers. Par...
