Subject: FROM THE CHILDREN OF SIVANANDA ORPHANGE!!

Greetings from SIVANANDA ORPHANAGE a charitable organization near Chennai India.This mail comes to you specially pleading for the welfare of 300 orphans with the confidence you will consider our request to host a banner in your site. Your help in this regard will go long way in our efforts to provide upliftment for the orphans in our care. We hope many who log on your site will learn about the humanitarian work we do in this part of the world and offer their support.

Our Institution "SIVANANDA ORPHANAGE" is a non-profit NGO with the primary objective of protecting orphans, destitute women, the physically
handicapped, AIDS-affected children, and the elderly and providing them with shelter, food, and free education. An institution with 50 years of recorded services to thousands of poor orphans, we have helped them to become self-supporting responsible and productive citizens. We not only provide food, education and shelter, but also instill character and morals to help them grow responsibly, learn a means for livelihood and eventually become independent.

Our orphanage currently has free schooling up to x standard. In order to impart technical skills to deserving orphans we wish to start a technical education school like an industrial training institute or a polytechnic.

Subject: Re: sweeping statements are most slanderous

Dear Ms. Ramakrishnan Latha: Greetings. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a response to my observations sent to Pathivugal. Thank you. Let me make two observatios in the first plce:

One: Your Knowledge of contemporary Thamil Liteature is astounding.
Two: Your style of writibg in English is befitting.

Here are my responses to your criticisms of my piece: If you think that my generaliations on Little Magazines are tantamount to ' worst form of slander ', its o.k. Maybe, I should have explained in detail my premises. Since I wanted only to spotlight what I felt was obvious, I briefly confined myself to the basics. Anyway, I take your findings that mine were 'sweeping statements'

However, I still hold that some of the poets in Thamilnadu have been overated and that includes former Lankan writer Dharuma Civaramoo. It's true some of the latter's poems had memorable lines and yet a few had freshness of seeing things in different lights. But the main point is that his contribution as a short story writer outshines his role as a poet or a ' literay critic'

I think you misunderstood what I said about the 'Little Magazines'. Earlier literary magazines did contribute to the enrichment of contemporary Thamil literature, but with the quarrel between the two people referred accelerated the ugly scene of attacks bordering on slander. You may disagree. At the sametime the unwelcome tendency, a few current 'Little Magazines' were discreet and maintained the standards Credit, true, should be given to those journals.

I agree with you that if I don't read these magazines, I stand to lose. I shall try to keep abrest with these magazines whih are not readily available in my litle island. Again, there is a misconception on your part in equating my comments to the anarchical tendencies of both writers - Dharma Civaramoo and Venkat Swaminathan - to a comparison of both of them as literary figures. I did not compare their relative literary merits. I only referred to their peronal vendetta for each other.

Thank you for enlightening me on Venkat Swaminathan's recent writings, which I learn from you, are a continuum of his old practice of unfair judgements. In the same breath, we must acknowledge the fact that we cannot totally dismiss the individual psitive contributions of both of them in the field of Thamil writing.

It was refreshing to read an intelligent response from a sensitive reader. I thank you for that.

Incidentally, I have a feeling that I wrote to you sometime back on the suggestion of Pathivugal Editor, Mr.V.N.Giritharan on some matter regarding e-zine, but I wasn't lucky enough to get a reply from you. I wish to contribute in Thamil as well, but unfortunately, I cannot type in Thamil. Hence I write in English only to ' Pathivugal '

P.S.: Please read my book in Thamil ( published by Manimekalai Prasuram of Chennai) titled " India-Ilankai Ilakkiyam -Oru Kannottam" for an article on Dharuma Civaramoo. The same publishers published a book where I express my own interpretation or understanding of 'Literary Criticism'.The title of the book is " Thiranaivu Entra Enna?"

Subject: sweeping statements are most slanderous

dear Mr.Sivakumaran and the Editor of Pathivukal, Greetings. I happened to read your (Mr.Sivakumaran's) letter expressing concern over slander-campaign in the name of literary criticism. While the concern is shared, some of your observations do not go well with your concern. Such sweeping statements as 'Pramil is not a poet at all' and that Tamil Little Magazines nurture and thrive on slanderous campaigns are but worst form of slanderous campaign. Over the years and against all odds and with absolutely no official patronage the Tamil Little Magazines have been contributing a lot towards the enrichment of Modern Tamil Literature. It is unfair to overlook all those and make them appear to be as harbingers and storehouses of nothing but slanderous campaigns and personal attacks. Mr.Sivakumaran has the liberty to stop reading Tamil Little Magazines. But, he should know that the loss is more his. And , his comparing Mr.Venkat Swaminathan with poet Pramil is rather unwarranted and unfair, for Poet Pramil was primarily a creative writer. Also, Mr.Sivakumaran makes it appear that of the two Mr.Venkat Swaminathan is better and that of late he has stayed above personal prejudices in his critical evaluations, which is not at all true. To cite an instance, in one of his recent publication - a collection of critical essays he has chosen to give only his attacks, remarks and observations and not the fitting rejoinders to them that have followed suit. Same way, in one of the recent issues of 'Kaalam', while going ga-ga over Poet Rajamarthandan's 'anthology of Modern Tamil Poems, Mr.
Venkat Swaminathan observes that there are those who ask the poets themselves to send their 'best-poems' and such compilations would prove to be the mixture of dish in the bowl of the beggar. He may have his aversion against those who leave the selection in the hands of the poets themselves while those concerned may believe that the poets know best which is their best, but in his fervour to attack 'this approach' the way he brings in the beggar and his bowl with not the least social concern doesn't speak well on his worthiness as a critic. On the other hand, Poet Pramil's many poems champion the cause of the underprivileged. There is nothing wrong in discussing matters threadbare. And those who indulge in personal attacks will be exposing their own calibre and if required they should be exposed by others. Such strong approaches also have a place in critical evaluation. So, one cannot categorize all such strong-worded literary wranglings as unwanted and unwarranted. Lots to say on this issue. But, i conclude for the time being with a simple suggestion- why not make the 'English Section' open to all?

regards/latha ramakrishnan
[Dear Latha Ramakrishnan, thanks for your comments. We have no intention to open an English section to all at the moment. We will only be publishing english entries from those who aren't capable of typing their pieces in Tamil. Howvever we have no objection in starting an English section if any one is able to pose as the editor for this portion of 'Pathivukal'.- editor]

Subject: Literary Criticism or Slanderous Condemnation?

Thank you very much for including my contributions in English in your much patronized website. As a very useful e-zine, it introduces several aspects of contemporary Thamil cultural scene to the world at large. My dear friend, I cannot type in Thamil even now. If only I could type in Thamil, I can send by e-mail my cotributons in Thamil to your respected website.

In the name of literary criticism a few write in bad taste. This is because they understand the word 'criticism or vimarsanam' as condemnation and slander. It's for this reason, I don't use the word ' vimarsanam' to decribe my pieces. I prefer 'Thiranaivu' instead. And since I write literary columns having in mind the uninitiated, i call myself 'Paththi Eluthaalar'.

Attacking each other in too personal a manner started in Thamilnadu with Venkat Swaminathan and Tharuma Civaramoo in the late 1960s.They were both my friends. One has passed away. I never considered Tharumas civaramu as a literary critic or a poet. But I felt he had some original ideas as an essayist. Venkat Swaminathan was a avery widely read man in English as well, and he had his own way of writing critical notes, but he too gave a lot of weightage to condemnation than appreciation. However in his latterly pieces, he seems to have got rid of the bent on personal attacks.

The trend initiated then by Venkat Swaminathan and Tharuma Civarmu led to a ugly scene ravishingly follwed by ' little magazines' in Thamilnadu. Since then I stopped reading Thamilnadu 'Little Magazines'.This has resulted in the younger generation in Thamilnadu not knowing me. Lankan Thamil younger generation in their absense of knowledge in English took as models the Thamilnadu Little Magazine 'critics' and started writing in that fashion- viz- condemnation is equal literary criticism.

This is my point of view. There would be many of your readers who would not agree with my observations. I can only salute them for their views and wouldn't argue with them.

What prompted me to write this letter- you may publish it, -if it serves a purpose or ignore it - was my reading the page allocated to your correspondents.

My request: Please do not entertain slanderous material unless critical observations are supported with evidences. ( You have rightly said this already in your editor's note)

Subject: Did you get this one? - Let Us Liberate Thamizh

Dear Giritharan, N.K. Mahalingam's article supports my point of view of Liberating Thamil. His article gives some new creative ideas & insight to the Pure Thamilar & present day Thamilar. But I have one question why some Thamilars write Toronto as "roRaanro in Thamil, as it is in his article also? Which phonotics do they follow for the letters T, R, r ? I see this [roRaanro] only in Srilankan Thamil magazines.

I happened to visit your site, www.pathivukal.com , and I really think it is a great site. The idea of such a comprehensive site catering to so much information and news for all the online Tamil viewers in their own language is really worth appreciation..In this age, when cricket is becoming one of the most popular sports in the world, and a favorite among Indians, I am sure your visitors would also love, to remain updated about what's happening in that field. We would be glad if you give us a chance to serve your viewers with the latest match updates. We have a cricket section with live score-cards and other features (cricket.123india.) Our site details are : http://cricket1.123india.com/archive/SAvNZ_ODI_6thNovember2005.html We look forward to you visiting our site. Thanking you for your time and hoping to hear from you soon.

Subject: Your Recent Editorial Note

Dear Giritharan, Since I want to write to you, I am not sending this to Thilga Bama's Blog. I am not commenting anything against the arguments of Rajayanahem.

1. He has not indicated the replies of Vaigai Selvi first as a preface to his letter, as you have done now.

2. I am surprised you did not comment on his wild words like Hypocrites, Psychos, Paranoid delusions, Philistines etc. The whole article [100%] is a personal attack, rather than an argumentative write up. I wonder you call this a counter opinion & people are afraid to hear Rajayahem's point of view.

3. It seems you justify the whole quality of the write up of Rajanayahem. Your editorial note is incomplete. Look at the word quality of Thilaga Bama's & Vaigai Selvi's articles.

Subject: Harassing Women Writers in Pathivukal

Dear Giritharan, As we all feel embarrassed, please remove at once the highly objectionable & vulgar open letter by Mr. Rajanayahem to Vaigai Sevli which is not an article but an eloquent form of harasssment of women in the true sense. If he is a real man of honour & culture, he must apologize to Vaigai Selvi & Thilaga Bama without defending himself sweetly in his foreign language. Also please indicate in the front page of its location the reason for its removal.

Please do not provide your literary Pathivukal WebSite as a platform to selfish people who want to show their suppressing power of one-sided wisdom to the world.

Subject: "Thiruvasagam" a Symphonic Oratorio - Launched

Thiruvasagam a Symphonic Oratorio by Isaignani Ilaiyaraaja was successfully launched on June 30, 2005 at the Music Academy, Chennai. Union Minister for Information & Broadcasting Mr. Jaipal Reddy released the CD of Thiruvasagam a Symphonic Oratorio and renowned carnatic musician Dr. M. Balamurali Krishna received the first copy. Isaignani Ilayaraajaas carnatic music guru, Dakshinamurthi Swamigal, released a DVD on the making of this album and actor Mr. Kamal Haasan received the first copy.

As a part of the releasing function a 20-minute Oratorio from the album was played while the auditorium listened to it in silence.
Mr. Jaipal Reddy, Union Minister for Information & Broadcasting after listening to the 20 minute Oratorio observed that the album represented creation and versatility and lauded that There are no limits to the heights Ilayaraaja can rise to.

Carnatic musician Dr. M. Balamurali Krishna said that Ilayaraajas Thiruvasagam was a bridge between two kinds of music and he was deeply moved by it.
The Editor in Chief of The Hindu, said that the Oratorio was a seamless classical crossover and unique. While appreciating the Catholic Churchs involvement in this project as great service to India he also said that this bold undertaking has crossed the barriers of language, nations and ethnicity. He appealed to the fans not to support and encourage piracy and copying of this masterpiece.

Congress leader, Mr. Peter Alphonse said that this venture was an expression of Secular Spritualty which is the need of the hour. While appreciating the genius of Ilaiyaraaja, Mr. Kamal Haasan said that this album was a great service to Tamil and it goes beyond the boundaries of religion, caste and geography.
Film Director, Mr. Bharathi Raaja recalled his friendship with Ilaiyaraaja and their childhood memories. He said the Tamil motherland feels proud of its son Ilaiyaraaja on his achievements.

Film actor Mr. Rajini kanth observed that Ilaiyaraajas journey was in search of peace. He also recalled his relationship with the Isaignani over the years and lauded him as a musical genius.

The general secretary of MDMK, Mr. Vaiko while speaking at the occasion described the spiritual and literary importance of Thiruvasagam and also noted the ancient and traditional importance of Tamil music. He commended that Ilaiyaraajas music would live thousands of years.

Rev. Fr. Jegath Gasparraj the founder of Tamil Maiyam, which was behind this project while thanking and appreciating the people behind this major effort, said that Gods grace was behind their involvement in this project and in dedicating Thiruvasagam to the world.

At the conclusion Isaignani Ilaiyaraaja in his acceptance speech observed that the project was made possible by the grace of God. He also said that writing music for this album was a pleasing experience.

The launch of Thiruvasagam had wider media coverage and the fans of various blends, that included the lovers of Thiruvasagam, fans of Maestro Ilaiyaraaja, etc., packed the Music Academy.

Subject: su.raa is misunderstood by dalit brothers

This is very unfortunate that our dalit brothers have misunderstood a noble writer. when you read suraa's whole work you can find the noble heart of su.raa. he is a writer of great caliber and as a human being also he is a rare gentle man of the first order. please dont think i am glorifying him. he is the most eligible writer to get any award. Reading between the lines leads to many confrontations. that is what happened in this remarkable short story "pillai keduthal vilai". this story is against the attitude of feudalistic atrocity and sympathetically defends thayammal. when you read with a pre-conditioned fixation you always land in pensiveness and abstraction. actually when i read this touching story, i couldn't even sleep and thayammal's pitiable situation was unforgettable. it recollected in me su.raa's another master piece ' kolongal' . in fact thangakann and sellathurai are identical to some extent to " puliyamarathin kathai " thomodhara aasan and laundry joseph.

I personally feel this misunderstanding of our dalit brothers should never affect su.raa's creative ecstasy.it is miserable for his life time achievement he has to face these slanderous remarks.

I would like to point out that kalachuvadu has never done any harm at all to periyar, jeeva and neruda . when any body is having organisational delusions, dogma is unavoidable. you can publish this e mail as a rejoinder to aadhavan theetchanya's article.

I would like to quote the mighty lines of mathew arnold. " literature will take over the function of the religion in the future "

I read your article about Michio Kaku's "Hyper Space". I haven't read the book yet, but I have reserved the book in the local library. Everytime I go, the book has been already checked out. I have a deep liking for Astro science too. I have written a short story about Black holes and parallel Universe in Thinnai. The link is: http://www.thinnai.com/st0510033.html. When you have time please read and send me your review.

I am sending herewith a short story in Tamil for publication in your site. I am working as the Head of I.T. Dept. in a Private Sector Banks in Chennai. One of my favourite hobbies is writing short stories and poems in Tamil. Even though my work at the development centre (we develop software required by our Bank) keep me fully engaged during the day, writing at the end of the day keeps me relaxed.

I happened to stumble upon your site during my daily browsing at home and I was very much attracted to some of the short stories of Mr.Giridharan. His flowing style and simple narration impressed me very much.

I learned from your site that you accept contributions from the readers as well. It gives beginners like me a chance to publish their creations. I declare that the enclosed story has not been published in the web so far.

If you feel like carrying it, you are welcome. and it will give me larger audience. after the recent acquaintance with thinnai and pathivukal, i feel i should share these things with you. i came to know of youboth only after i acquired a pc of my own which was a recent happening. not more than ayear old. thank you. -swaminathan

Dear Giri,

Subject: Pathivukal - Firefox - Rendering Prob!!!

Hello Pathivukal: Pathivukal is an elegantly designed and progressive Tamil E-zine. I usually am able to read it using IE; however, I now use Firefox as my
default. Unfortunately, I am unable to read it using Firefox. Recently, I removed all TSC fonts because they separate Tamil Unicode glyphys in Firefox. (I do have TSCu, TAM, and TAB in the font file.) I am wondering how I would be able to read Pathivukal in Firefox. (Note: I am not running Murasu because it produces problems with some of my other SW). Thank you for your time and consideration about this. Continue your good work.

Interesting. You are telling us that there is something (may be 'athma' or 'awareness') exist in a living-being and capturing it is beyond our reach and impossible. Many in the past (including religious scholars) tried to explain this concept in a number of (boring or scary) ways. Your approach was simple and interesting, if not the best I've came across.
