My Ink Drop

The first thing I use to read in Kumudham magazine  ( குமுதம் ) is the "O" Page of Gnani (ஞானி ) .I use to read his article in India Today Tamil edition few years back thats where first I come to know about him.I have  not seen any writer in tamil writing like this. His article carry the below points 1.Present burning issue 2.Data with facts and figures 3.His thoughts are straight , White is White and Black is Black , Never say Black is Grey !! 4.His Honesty , you need to have brave to challenge the Government ,CM,PM etc      Yesterday while coming back from work in the train finish reading his collection of article "O Pages" 2009.Article which he has written every week during  2009 for Kumudhan magazine .Bought this book in Chennai book fair .All the article are worth to read !! His official web site  http://www.gnani.net/ .

Went for the Chennai  Book fair on 9th Jan 2010 . The fair open @ 11 AM ,i was there sharp 10.45 AM :) Almost all the leading Tamil publishers are there . And few English publishers .First I took a casual round all over  the fair Picked few book . The second round is the detailed round where I spend more time in each stall for selecting the books .Purchased books with two categories 1.Got a list of book recommended by others to read ( did some of Google for this ) 2.Books which I do not get normally in the book store ( rare books ) One important point I noted is almost all the stall got book about Tamil Eelam .Avoided all the English publication stall because we can buy all the wish / recommended English book easily through Landmark or online web site like Flipcart etc Came out from the fair at 5.45 PM  spent almost 7 hr !! Purchased  2 bags full of books !!! ( I will try to give all the books detail which I have purchased, may be in another post ) Got a budget on my mind w

Clicked this on Chennai book fair , this is my first photograph of a politician ( பழ . நெடுமாறன் )   Pazha Nedumaran   Nedumaran was there for a book release .Talked for 20 min about Sri Lankan Tamil Issue .Throughout his speech on many places he condemned the India and Tamil Nadu Government. You need to have the strength, willpower, selflessness, knowledge to give a   public speech   like this. I wonder.. 1.In India we have the right to express our thoughts by speech / writing without any restriction. Unfortunately this is not possible in some of our neighboring countries . 2. Selfless leaders who do on what they believe. 3.Free Media in INDIA Pazha Nedumaran official blog click here http://pazhanedumaran.blogspot.com/  .
