South India Heritage!!

Hmmmm....! Food for thought! After having been a member for over a year, today was the first time that I attended a meeting organised by the Madras Book Club! Never attended all of last year because I could NEVER make it on time for the 7:00 p.m. meetings on Wednesdays or even Fridays ...that's when most meetings took place. It was good, then, ( Read more... )

Now that is good to read.

Only yesterday someone was mentioning the rich "culture" of South India as hurled at an unsuspecting North Indian who of course had had none of it. Perhaps the brethren fronth eNorth had forgotten what it was to be an Indian. Another very brahminesque homily someone threw was that even the Brahmins of North India had forgotten how to conduct prayers...)

I guess this may also be pontificatory literature for the re education of the vast uncultured masses of the country.

Hey !!! Frankly one needs to read this to see what it is about. I was only talking about popular lore as it seethes and writhes in the hippocampal neurons of our mind.

In fact, it IS very interesting...as I said.. easy reading because it is not just one L-O-N-G treatise on History, Art, Society & Culture, but a book with several small articles, neatly and cogently tied together under meaningful headings!

If you do find the book in your parts of the country... read and enjoy! Its basic!

So good to see you! Glad you could make it to the book club, and this book sounds very pleasant indeed.

Oh yes she did...most wonderfully so! Well, not much travelling though...only long trips from Chennai to New Delhi and back!! Hope to be able to take her to London soon! ;)

And...thanks for understanding! Feels good to know that my friends are still out there and I can pick up the threads wherever I left them off...!!
