:welcome: I find it ironic that there are non brahmin, and non Tamils here. I welcome them particularly my friend Dr. RenukaKartikeyan and her very detailed and learned analysis.
I would not browse through a Muslim or Pakistan site, as it is no interest to me. I have no interest in posting or learning at those sites. I came to this site to learn about myself and my background. :tea:
I was surprised to see so strong anti-brahmin sentiment expressed. I also assumed there will be some common practice among TB's. I do not believe in birth based systems, but at least some common values.
Ok may be I can give my opinion.I join sites that have emphasis on religion and anything Indian.I have no problems joining any Caste based forum too since I dont identify with any caste being a mixed caste myself..so i feel free to go where ever I feel like going.
I liked TB forum cos it has lots of emphasis on religion.I am more into religion and not really into cultural practice.
Sometimes culture is actually not part of religion so I rather see that both as seperate.
I had joined other religious based forums also but I discontinued becos it was more of a mutual admiration sorts and there I have to "behave" and be a good girl 24hours which I know I cant!!!
TB forum is almost like a good masala types movie.
1)See when we log in we get to see a temple and AUM(like movies)
2)Then we get to main story at times it sounds like a Sathyaraj movie with lots of anti religious sentiments(but thats ok it adds to the Kickku)
3)Then sometimes it takes a different turn and turns all religious for a while sans the graphics of any religious movie.
4)Then we have Kutthu Songs,Hindi songs,Tamil Songs,Carnatic songs.
5)Fights scenes in TB forum are good.We have all types of villains..suave smooth types and those who will deliver punch dialogues.(both are interesting)
6)Then we have political based exchange of words and we can almost hear Thalaivar Vazgha in the background when we log in to those post.
7)Dont forget we also have item number songs when we feel bored and need to unwind after a long hard day of reading mantras and shlokas.
8)So guys and gals....lets not forget all the good cyber friends "Jab We Met" online in TB forum.
So these are 8 good reasons why TB forum is fun.
I chose to write 8 reasons to keep the "holy" effect still attached so this is the
TB forum Asthakam and anyone is welcome to put a tune to it .
