Thirukkural in IL...

Hey Srini,

Good job! The explanations were as crisp as the kural itself.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Sriniketan,
This is a very noble gesture from you to post the kurals along with the meanings.
During my school days, the most difficult subject was Tamil for me....
I used to skip reading kurals for my examination , due to the fact, it's just 2 marks...
But, now, i would really love to read them & apply to my life

Thanks a lot for the same & all the best for you

Can I also request the following?
If you come across any interesting snippet from the Thiruvalluvar's life, can you post them too

Dear most Srini ma'am,

I have been reading and trying to decipher the simplified version too :) Though I read Tamil very slowly, but the pleasure in reading even like that is beyond words of praise. It is such a subtle language and I had always asked the meaning of Kurals to my father and he had tried his best to make it simple.. easy to understand... to the level of my knowledge.

But now I know, I will be reading your translations and will be able to tell my father the same Thank you very much and the effort taken is commendable !!

I will surely go through each and every line and let you know what I understood and how I relate the same to the small world that I have my experience in !!! :) Beware: "Your teaching skills now will be tested as you will be correcting each and every word of my feedback :):)"

May the Almighty shower the strength that is required.

My hearty congratulations to all ILites who are helping Srini ma'am.

Again, Hats off Malathy ma'am (our sweet IndusLady)

Regards with Love
RamyaVaradharajan

Dear Sriniketan,
Just two days before I was toying with the idea of starting a blog with the title "Thirukkual KaRpoma?" Now I am glad that you have started this and I wish you great success in your endeavour.
Love,
PS

Thanks for your kind words, Priya...
Glad to see that it will be of help to you and your kids..

vidyalakshmi,
Thanks for your fb..true, summava sonnaanga '5vadu vedam' nu..

I am happy to see it is helping you...I need that encouragement...thanks asha...

Sunkan, with friends around like you-- it inspires me to do more...

Nakshatraa,
as mentioned earlier, I did only manapaadam pagudi and had no interest. This interest came out only recently, so better late than never...
Sure I will post any interesting facts about Thiruvalluvar and Thirukural.
I also need help in this regard.
Friends in IL can also contribute those facts too.....you too...please do the same when you come across such information...

Hi Ramya,
Thanks for the appreciation and prayers....
am I going to teach you...so really thought I am a teacher outside the "masti thread' too..
I am happy in the interest you are showing ...I think I can get the help from your father regarding this...

I am not knowledgeable at all, I am also reading with you,,,yeah...
Try to clear your doubts--en sittrarivukku yetinavarai..
Hope it is ok with you...

Dear Mrs.Pushpavalli,
for your blessings..
You thought about it and I did it...is it like 'ellnuna yennaiya nigara' type...just kidding...
Hope I do get help from you whenever it is necessary....
as Ramya will grind me out with questions, i suppose, I am going to get help from you also...
Kindly provide your insight in this thread, which will be greatly appreciated...by our friends too...

Dear Sriniketan,
You are at a wonderful job of furthering the cause of Tamil. While our fanatics fight there in the assembly over changing the Tamil new year from Chitthirai to Thai and then instructing all govt. offices to ignore the 60 years of the Tamil calender thus spreading pseudo-love for Tamil, here, you are, silently on a mission of your own to spread the beautiful couplets of the Great Tamil saint Thiruvalluvar through this website. Wonderful job! Keep it up!
Regards,
Malathi

Dear Sriniketan,
I have full confidence in your capability and that you will do justice to the task you have undertaken. I went through the first ten KuraLs in the blogs section and you are doing a wonderful job.If my help is needed I am always here.
Love,
PS

Thanks Malathi for the kind words you had showered on me...
I am also a Tamil fanatic--but in a lighter sense...
With you and other friends support, I guess we can achieve the job undertook by us...
Once again, thanks Malathi for the support...

Dear Mrs.Pushpavalli,
for your confidence in me...only with this confidence, I am confident enough to move forward....
I will ask help, if needed, for sure...
