Podcast - 1: Mahabalipuram Series 1: Arjuna's Penance

வணக்கம். உங்களுடன் வளையொலியில் இணைந்திருப்பது நாகராஜ் அழகுசுந்தரம். இன்றைக்கு நாம் காணவிருப்பது மகாபலிபுரம் அல்லது மாமல்லபுரத்தின் சிற்பங்களை பற்றியே . மாமல்லபுரத்தின் அனைத்து சிற்பங்களையும் பற்றி விளக்க குறைந்தபட்சம் 1 மாதமாவது வேண்டும். அதனால் நேரமின்மையை கருத்தில் கொண்டு சில சிற்பங்களை பற்றி  நாம் விரிவாக காண்போம். இந்த வளையொலியின் நோக்கம் என்னவென்றால் அடுத்த முறை நீங்கள் மாமல்லபுரத்திக்கு செல்ல நேர்ந்தால் நான் கூறவிருக்கும் கலை நுணுக்கங்களை கண்டு ரசிக்க வேண்டும்.

Blue Mountains: Three Sisters - Tamil names?

Introduction: I recently had an opportunity to visit the Blue Mountains, 86 km away from Sydney. That was our (I & my wife) second visit to a place outside the Sydney city. At first, we reached Katoomba town and then a few places in and around the mountain area.  Our mode of transport was Train, which took roughly 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach the Katoomba station. Blue Mountains Explorer: We purchased one day unlimited Scenic World ride tickets and hop-on-hop-off pass (3 days unlimited rides) for A$99. We were greeted in தமிழ் (Tamil) by the bus driver Mr. Jimmy. He enquired us about the origin and the mother tongue, for which we replied as India & Tamizh. Initially, I thought these questions were related to some data collection, statistics, and analysis.  During the journey, Mr. Jimmy announced that "We have two friends from India and they speak Tamizh" and surprised us by saying "Vanakkam Guys" in typical English ascent. We all...

Here i take this opportunity to share my Kedarnath trip to you all. If you find any grammatical mistake, please be informed that my mother tounge is TAMIL.  One fine sunday afternoon, call from an unknown number. Its none other than our great photographer Ramesh Muthaian on the other side. (I've no idea how many more number i need to save in his name). After few minutes of Mokkai chat he told that he and his friends are planning to go to Kedaram (Kedarnath). When he mentioned as Spiritual trip, i was half lost. And when he concluded the destination i was too excited.
