TAMIL IS CLASSIC AND THERE IS NOTHING TO CURSE IT OR PEOPLE's INVOLVED IN IT!

Tamil was awarded with classical status ahead of Sanskrit which was showcased to be the classical language of India. But the World decided against it they declared Tamil as Holy a year before Sanskrit on 2004. The question is not when Tamil’s started celebrating it but when will they at least realize that their own language is to be portrayed as CLASSIC.

So what does this CLASSIC means, which organization has the rules and rights for a language to be declared as CLASSIC? Europeans started this habit of declaring languages as classic they set standards from the qualities exhibited by Ancient Greek and Latin. A classical language must be able to withstand on their own scripts and words, could have given raise to multiple languages.

For a language to be classical it has to fulfill the following
  • Antiquity – Long History
  • Harmony – Rhythmic sound in pronunciation
  • Clarity – Must be clear
  • Restraint – Ability to stand alone without other languages
  • Serenity - Clear from unpleasant or abrupt change
  • Idealism – Language being Imaginative in works (Plays, novels)
  • Universality – Speared across the universe
  • Reason – Justification
  • Order – To be in an order
  • Humanism – Devotion to humanities
Tamil has all the above qualities and there is nothing to be proud because we should be the one designing the rules and not celebrating it for having such status moreover some qualities exhibited by Tamil are not fulfilled by other Classical Languages!. Tamil sustained for a long period unlike other classical language which are not in use now! Hebrew used to compile early bible is no more in use.

Some Classical Languages are
Greek, Latin, Tamil, Arabic, Chinese, Sanskrit, Hebrew, Parish. The order is in order of declaration of Classical status.
Some are even claiming that Telugu and Kanadam is Classic and there is no one to bother(sorry if hurts!:-( ) about this because there is no ruling body on Classic language list and there are no written rules for this status. UNESCO has not said anything about it’s involvement in this and even denied its involvement when questioned(Click to know more about Confusion from THE HINDU).

The state of excitement is not when someone triggers you but when you can feel the wind crying about your excellence! I don’t know when Tamil’s developed the attitude of cursing themselves for being the way they are and doing nothing about it.

Puththu kovilum Putho tilesum, as they are built

Its the grand Aadi season here in Tamil Nadu wherever you go you'd be followed by awful noise from no mercy speakers masqueraded as a devotional song. Yes, this is the first post dedicated to it. Hindu is not a religion but it's idealism, a way to unite people, that's perfectly constructed by assuming separate task to every God, no single God worship. Hindus moved from nature worship to idol worship, but that doesn't mean that we don't have nature worship we have created an idol for them and continued to worship them in a different form. Snake is a beautiful reptile, I have made friend with few too... Our ancestor found the natural law, 'every living creature on earth is important for the ecosystem to be balanced'. Maybe to make sure snakes are not killed fearing their venom they made them as God too! Not just idol snakes, they are worshipped as they are at their  conquered (from rats and termite)   nest or  puthu . Puthu...

Three language educational policy will only benefit Hindi

The three language education policy even if not enforcing Hindi, will end up enabling and propagating only Hindi! Since I'm from Tamilnadu, I'll restrict my views to it; but you can pick this template and apply to any state/UT of India. Students cannot learn on their own, this would mean hiring new teachers. But Schools cannot afford to hire many teachers due to budget, that cascades to lean number of choices available for student. German/French/Japan or any such international language teachers will be highly sought after by lavish private schools which translates to high salary for them, naturally schools catering to middle class will not be able to afford them. Thus school administration will end up hiring Hindi teachers readily available from Dhakshina Bharat Hindi Prachar Sabha. Maybe some schools present in borders towns like Vellor, Hosur, Nagapattinam will choose Telugu, Kannadam, Malayalam and so on. Baring them I can only see Hindi flourishing in future. I...

Unmaking of tortilla with corn flour

I'm on my cooking spree, it has been bread & jam or noodles for too long. Now that I have grown a taste for cheese I bought a lot of cheese and started googling recipes that includes cheese. I started out with cheese sauce for nachos, I liked nachos more than sauce cause I didn't get it right the first time. In nachos I found a good evening snack, so moved into salsa or mayo or even thick salad dressing as I found it easier to arrange than cook. Inevitably I came back to stove when I wanted to eat pasta after having mouth watering conversations with Dewang . I wanted to make pasta with sauce or cheese of my choice also privilege of eating pasta in India is mostly reserved for those people who works in corporate and goes out for casual dinner and lunch were they don't need to pay bill. Cooking at home gives me the opportunity to introduce such cuisine to my parents. I started cooking pasta and sauce, once I made the cheese sauce curdy and the other day I forgot to...

Shame of Sabarimala : Annadhanam under TDB

Annadhana Prabhuve, Saranam Ayyappa It means "The noble who donates food, Ayyappa save us". The legend is not clear about how or why Lord Ayyappa is called so, coincidentally the third step of the Pathinetu padi stands for Annapoorna (the God of food) by crossing this step Ayyappamar assure that they have followed Ayyappa by donating food to peers and made sure any Ayyappamar coming to Sabarimala for Punya Dharishanam is not hungry. I'm sure this year many Ayyappamar did not fullfil this deed to proudly step on it, they neither received nor gave; they were curbed. Though it was ABASS*   who started it all many sangam took up the responsibility to feed the hungry Ayyappamar, people have crossed the toughest times by taking supplies to impossible mountain peak like Karimala, Azhutha; now with roads easing pain kerela government and travancore devaswom board(tdb) is pulling the rug on Seva Sangams.
