Karan, me too, i still have download meet pics from my cam. Cameras are not allowed at Honeywell, so guess it will take time.

Yo Muthu,
Yup, will get in touch with you while in Blore next and lets catch up over a coffee! Lets debate on this ‘age’ & ‘getting old’ bit, shall we?
Hi Muthu
Nice meeting u. lets keep in touch for personal as well as professional reasons (though i would have more to gain from respected seniors like u ):P
Dear Muthu:Thanks a lot for ur mentionong me in ur blog and that of thennavan.Your article in “Thiriukkural” is timely what with the invasion of western culture,food,habits and philosophy.We both were members od “Thirukkural Kazhagam” of Mylapore for several years led by :Seyyon” of A.I.R.
though a number of books and commentaties besides translations are available let me tell U about 3 books which differently but distibctly bring out the greatness of the work,
“Kuraloviyam” by MKarunanidhi “Valluvar Ullam”by R.Kesava Iyrngar and “Valluvarum vaazhkkai neri muraiyum” by Rajaji.All the best Partha krish
Ravi, am game for some coffee and arguments!
Prabhu, KIT
Partha Uncle,
Glad to know that You and Seyyon were part of “Thirukkural Kazhagam”.
I used to listen to Seyyon’s program on A.I.R. Its a great program.
May be a Thirukkural e-group can be started at Yahoo Groups. Perhaps, PODCAST initiative needs to be taken to voice-over Thirukural on the internet. Hope respected Seyyon sir is listening!
I will check out the 3 books mentioned by you. மிக்க நன்றி!
