உளதிலதெனில்

ஒருவர்க் கொருமுகம் தாமுளதென்பீர்
ஒருவன் பலமுகம் பூணுதல் கண்டு
ஒருமெய் பிறவத னம்பொய்யென்பீர்.
தரித்தல் பொய்யெனில் சருவமும் பொய்யே!

சிறுமதியோரே முன்னொருநாளில்
கருநிறவண்ணன் விருந்தாவனத்தில்
ஒருவொரு நங்கைக் கும்தனியாக
அருளிய முகங்கள் யாவையும்மெய்யே!

உறுதிகள் மாறியும் தொடர்ந்திட உதவும்
மறதியும் மெய்யே மறந்ததும் மெய்யே
புரிவதர்க்கெளிய வகை படியாதது
குருடர் தடவிய கரிபிழையிலையே

    நான் தடவினபடி நீ கயிறு தான். அதெப்படி தூணாவும், சுவராவும் இருக்கலாம்னு கேக்காதவரைக்கும் சரி.

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..

Kamal - the writer/director

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

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 Lord Arlington (?)) An
