Introduce yourself here

I am amarnath from Madurai. I studied upto B.A. English literature and circumstances compeled me to seek a job. Hence I learnt type and shorthand in Tamil and English and passed High speed exams. I was able to get a job immediately. Now I am enjoying my retirement life. I am interested very much in Tamil language especially devotional literature like Panniru thirumurai, Nalayira Divya Prabandam, Kamba Ramayanam, Villi Baratham. Siddar songs etc.
Time permitted me to enjoy internet in USA in my son's house and hence I was able to read Tamil Hindu and various articles of it. They were interesting and during this reading I came across this site and I am interested in the slokams and manthrams in this site. That is all. Thank you.

mahesh,

please read other threads related to this. there are lots of discussions going on, and from what i gather, it is tough to find tamil brahmin brides, whether it be iyer or iyengars.

there is a move afoot to look for searching brahmin brides from other states. perhaps you may be interested?

please join discussion in other threads.

welcome to the club. :)
 
It is nice to see this thread! For some glitch may be, I could never see this 'Introductions' when I logged in. It was a pleasant surprise to see this thread !

Cheers!

ramanujan,

what do you mean that tamil will 'rule' the world? some examples?

will it replace english as the largest spoken tongue in the world? if so, on what basis, can you say that?
 
அய்யா as far as எநோடைய அனுபவங்கள் is concerned நா நினைகிறேன் இந்த உலகத்தில ஒங்களுக்கு survive அல்லது prosper பண்ணனோம்னா English & Computer Knowledge ரொம்ப முக்கியம். Among the most spoken மொழிகள் in this world தமிழ் has a proud மூன்றாவது இடம் after hindi & punjabi. தமிழ் மொழி is one of the oldest of the world with rich heritage, history and culture. I don't think it will replace any மொழி but it certainly has its own distinctive place within which it is doing great. For anybody his/her language is his only சொந்தம் as it gives him a distinctive identity which is very முக்கியம் I guess.
 
I recently had a very interesting experience which I thought to share with you guys. I was travelling in the delhi metro. My Amma called me and I started speaking to her in Tamil. Besides me there were two guys. I sensed from their body language that they were a bit uncomfortable with me speaking in tamil. One of them was a punjabi with a characteristic kada on right hand. After sometime when the seats in the opposite side were vacant he got up from my side and sat on the opposite side.

Lesson to Non-Tamils(especially north Indians)-We live in a democratic country and whether you like us or hate us certainly you have to live with us. So better get used to us. In a country like India multilingualness is an added advantage. Dravidians in Puthu Delhi get priority in jobs b'coz of their command good english. In fact now a days b'coz of growing number of tamil speakers in the world BPO's in puthu delhi/gurgaon/bangalore/etc have started tamil voice process where tamils obviously get priority over north Indians. But I don't want to portray a totally negative images of north Indians. But I must confess there are very few who are tolerant and secular.

Sri Ramanujam,
While there is nothing wrong in feeling proud of one's own language , it is just a common ettiquette and manners to take into consideration and respect our neigh our' sentiments. Probably the talking would have been lou and nosiy to irritate the co-traveller.

We also would have felt the same way if some other persons talk loudly sitting near to us, in a language we do not understand.

The meanness or cheapness of human beings in these kind of matters are exhibited mostly. This is overcome by civilised people due to their better mingling and exposure with diverse culture and language, and education.

A multilinguist,myself, I have been in the receiving end at many occasions.Sometimes it was just a secret thrill to coolly listen to what they say(teasing a particular language people ) ,without exposing my knowledge of that language. This is same in both side/more. North will tease south, south will ridicule north, east vs west etc etc.

At least from now on let us take an initiative by ourselves, to be broadminded in this.


Greetings

Dear SuryaKasyapa

you have made some very good points. But you see its not that I judge all people belonging to some particular ethnicity coz of bad experience that I have suffered at the hands of one. I speak fluent hindi. Its a complete language just as Tamil. I have been blessed with some very good hindi speaking frnds. Look my frnd in this world there are good as well as bad people and you can pick and choose between them. But my feeling is that it will take a long for our country to get broad minded and mature. Acceptance of English as the national language and link language would only help in this.
 
Regarding the attitude towards languages, my experience is that there are three broad categories in which the major languages can be classified for this purpose, (1) North Indian languages other than Bengali, Assamese and other NE state languages, (2) Bengali, Assamese and other NE state languages, and (3) Southern, i.e., Dravidian languages, viz., Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada. For the northerners all the dravidian languages sound funny, whereas those in their own group indicated above do not sound foreign and funny. The languages under group 2 above also cause some amusement for group 1 people, but not as much as 3.

When we (southern people) talk loud enough for them to hear continuously, they get irritated and uncomfortable, may be because of their genetic predilection. They refer to us as "aNDOO, guNDoo, ThaNDA pAni" and all that also, in private.

With group 2 people also the group 1 feels some amusement but not irritation.

Group 2 people are bit more tolerant of group languages.

These are just my experiences after living in different parts of India, not eternal laws.

Dear Sangom

No it will take a long time for the nation to get tolerant about others. I was born in Mumbai and brought up in Puthu Delhi and Dehradoon. I was the only stupid South Indian studying in a Hindi School(K.V) courtesy my parents. They always fighting with each other. I was more exposed to the Aryan culture than my tamil culture. எனக்கும் நறிய ஆசைகள் இருந்தது. ஜோசிகர் told your son has tremendous talent in music. But I never received any training since my parents never thought about it. I didnt knew tamil script(my தாய மொழி). I wish I attended any Vedic discourse. But now I don't have any time. But thanks to internet I have downloaded primary school books from tamil virtual university website. எனக்கு திருக்குறள் தெரியாது. From My experience of living in Puthu Delhi I think they basically do this coz they can't understand a thing of what we say. But I'm determined to converse only in tamil, Watch tamil channels, browse net about vaishnavism, great tamils etc etc. எனக்கு தெரியும் தமிழ் கல்ச்சர் ஒரு கடல் போல ஆனால் I have made a beginning.
 
Ji' all, my name is Simon, who was once a banned handle sapr333.

Though I had planned to be here by last March, had to delay it for various other reasons.. Though banned, I enjoyed the whole lot of time of my hang out.

Having said that, I am bit apprehensive,, whether to venture or not. I think, I would take opinion from some of my known handles here, before venturing in..I mean, before plunging in (be it suicidal once again), I'm seeking 'Binary' YES/NO from those key persons I know.. Strictly a binary, as Shri.KRS once posed me with this .

And I'm sequencing here the list of persons (priority wise), whom I'm expecting their binary response.

1) Shri.K (finest writer, politically correct always, a true reformer)
2) KRS ( X is always not equal to Y)
3) Nara ( Fido Tido, Being Normal is Boring..flamboyant debating skills )
4) H.H (Sail along the ship)
5) SF (Dr.Ranga) (Chief Judicial Magistrate)
6) Praveen - War room strategist
7) RVR- If stressed, sail the opposite directions
8) PannV - a balanced person
9) Hari - I got a flyin' mouse to kill here, lemme clean my claws..

Once again, I'm only looking for a single word.. a binary,as Shri.KRS always asks for.. Should I venture here.. Yes/No?

Simon

PS: This time definitely not religion...That's what made me poles apart..
