Modi Visit to Chennai and I

Shri Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister of Gujarat, visited Chennai yesterday (14th Jan) for a day. He had a lot of engagements in the city, from morning to evening.

I was affected by his visit. I will explain how. Shri Modi was staying in a star hotel on Nungambakkam High Road. He had to visit a RSS meeting in Chetput, which is on the west of this hotel. After this, he went to Jayalalithaa's Veda Nilayam house for a 45-items Lunch. Poes garden (JJ's house) is on the east side of the hotel. And he went for the Anniversary of Thuglak at Kamarajar Arangam in the evening. All these venues are on the same route (or nearby) of the bus route 29 C (Perambur to Besant Nagar)

Vijaya and I were waiting at Besant Nagar for this 29 C and we couldn't even see a single bus for nearly an hour. At that time I couldn't think it was due to Shri Modi's visit and the traffic regulations. Then the buses started coming from Adyar side in a procession !! The distance between the hotel at Numgambakkam (where Modi stayed) and Besant nagar where we stood and waited is about 11 kms, but we were badly affected.

Anna Centenary Library, Kotturpuram

ANNA CENTENARY LIBARARY (அண்ணா நூற்றாண்டு நூலகம்) is a newly established State Library of Tamilnadu. It was declared open on 15th Sept 2010. Located in Kotturpuram, Chennai. This last Sunday, 1st May 2011, we hit upon the idea - we will go and see this library. No serious reason, but a sudden whiff of fancy. Vijaya, her old classmate and friend Mrs Prema, and I left house at 3-30PM. A bus upto Madhya Kailash, and an auto thereon, left us at the gates of this huge, beautiful building at 4 PM. From the outside, it was immensely impressive and imposing - maybe of 9 or 10 floors, exquisitely constructed. As we walked the lawns to reach the Main Entrance, the interest in us was bubbling. (Caution: Handbags, Cameras are strictly prohibited. Even waterbottles are not allowed inside the halls.) There is a 5-feet bronze statue of Mr CN Annadurai, in whose name and honour this library is built. This is the Tamilnadu Chief minister Mr M Karunanidhi's pet project and he, as usual, has ov...

Dr Muthulakshmi Reddy The road from Adyar Signal to Thiruvanmiyur signal (in Chennai) is called Lattice Bridge Road (LB Road); this English name was re-christened as Dr Muthulakshmi Reddy Road long back, but the old English name only prevails now.

U Ve Swaminatha Iyer - A Tribute

U Ve Swaminatha Iyer A TRIBUTE to The Patriarch of Tamil. This morning, let me talk about the TAMIZH THATHA, Sri UV Swaminatha Iyer. A tribute, on his 150th birth anniversary. The original texts of a number of literary works of the Sangam period (1st and 2nd Century AD) came to public notice only towards the end of the 19th century, when they appeared in print form. Until then, works such as Aymperum Kaappiyangal (the five great epics) – Silappathikaram, Manimekalai, Kundalakesi, Jeevaka Chintamani, and Valaiyapathi were in the form of palm leaf manuscripts in the possession of scores of families living across Tamilnadu and outside. They didn’t have the skill to read the manuscripts, and, therefore, did not realize the literary worth. The palm leafs were allowed to rot. The need to hunt for the missing palm leaf manuscripts and bring to light the hidden treasure of Tamil literature was deeply felt. Foremost among those who undertook this formidable task was Mahamahopadhyaya Uttamadhana...
