அசந்தர்ப்பம்

-
மலையிலிருந்து கல்லை எடுத்துவந்து தலையில் போட்டால், தலைவலி போமென்று ஒரு பாடலில் சொல்லப்பட்டிருக்கிறது. அசந்தர்ப்பமாக இது தோன்றும். ஆனால் தலைவலியை நிவர்த்திக்கக்கூடிய ஒரு செடிக்கு கல்லையென்பது ஒரு பேரென்று அறியவேண்டும். இங்ஙனமேயுள்ள தமிழ்வைத்திய பரிபாஷைகள் மிக அதிகம்

    நல்ல தகவல்.
    இல்லாட்டி கல்லை எடுத்து கீழே போட்டு கீழே இருப்பவனுக்கு தலைவலியை கொடுத்திருப்பார்கள் நம்மவர்கள்.!

    தமிழை முழுவதுமாக கற்றுக்கொள்ளவே காலம் போதாது

    Meens அதைத் தான் தமிழ்த்தாத்தா அசந்தர்ப்பம் என்று மென்மையான சொற்தேர்வால் உணர்த்துகிறார்.

    amas32 - currently reading the book mentioned in the post. It is a compilation of a series of lectures U.VE.SA gave in Madras University.

    A sparkle of poker faced humour in the middle of a scholarly discourse.

    Don't know how I missed this one. Lovely humour.

    BTW, I have also read his essay wherein he tells how a tribe sings, "பீமசேன மவராசன் மரதேபூ மரதேபூ டிங்கினானே டிங்கினானே" for "மரத்த புடுங்கினானே"

Have blog, will archive. What follows is from a clutch of posts written at various points in time about ThillAnA MohanAmbAL - in my opinion, one of the most thoroughly enjoyable films with a distinctly homegrown aesthetic. Due to the nature of the post, you can expect all kinds of unevenness and abruptness, which the content shall hopefully compel you to bear with.  Plunge..

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...
