Waiting for Century!
Hooray, u know what... this is 100th post at Meyyaram...
Hit the http:// May 22nd - 70 odd days completed - It's something which pulled us together and we stand here. The blog growed for sure. The whole concept behind this blog start is us cousins to 'Be in touch' - not by clogging our Inboxes, at the same time to get something productive out of our chats. We dont know how much productive stuffs we reaped till now, but for the 1st factor, we hit the bulls eye. By the way, you learn as you grow. We have the hope as the hours and days pass, this blog will serve the other factors as well.
I cant stop thinking how the blog will feel, If everybody of us actually start to make the real contribution. Trust me, at the inital stages, what you contribute hardly matters, your posts dont have to carry the weightage, a simple HI to all post or writing comments to the other people posts is more than enough. Once you start hitting the blog regularly, you get into the routine and you suddenly realize there is so much to write and share about.
Time constraint - the main excuse people have in their pockets ready. We dont want you guys to sit before the system hours together everyday writing posts, you can steal few minutes when you check mails, before you go to bed, during lunch breaks, during the week ends, during breaks in TV shows, oh, come on..dont say you dont have time. Take this to heart, we are not criticising people those who are not contributing or not checking the blog, but we invite them to take part in this, simply for the reason it's our space and we gotta run it.. Would somebody invite the Bride and the Groom to their OWN marriage, we do. PLEASE PAY VISIT & PARTICIPATE.
we are not complaining.
It is really a good habit to write atleast a few lines everyday in this age of computers. We dont write letters now. There are ecards - cards for everything you want to convey. Trust me writing two lines about anything it is so different from talking about it.
Allrighty, this 100th post would be a quick flashback session of these 70 odd days, but what we did. deep thinking accompanied by long silence.. kidding...

Who built mahabalipuram?
pallava kings.
(pin kuripu)
It's actually mamallapuram, "mallan" is the title used by pallava kings and mallan means "wrestler". 'maa' mallan means great among the wrestlers and the title points 'narasimhavarman'. so he's the owner of mamallapuram.
;p

seezhthalai saathanaar
(pin kuripu)
seezhthalai avaruku adai mozhi, why nu ketta, avar ethavathu thapaa ezhuthitaa, antha ezhuthu aani naaleye avar thalaila kuthipaaraam, dettol podamaa vitathunaale the wound get puzz (seezh). uvvek.. athanaale seezhthalai nu per vanthuduthaam..
;p
Who was pulikesi ?
engeyo padicha gyabagam..but evlo thooram unmai nu theriyala..
pulikesi was a great chalukya king, he came to tamizhnaadu seeing its wealth to conquer. He conquered kanchipuram when he won a battle with mahendravarman ( father of narasimhavarman alias maamallan ) and after the days of his father Mahendravarman his son narasimhavarman took revenge on pulikesi and got back the region like we used to see in our tamil films.
;p
Was there any south Indian king that followed Jainism?
no idea.
Who built the temples at angkorwat?
the only fact I know is, It's in cambodia and these are the symbols in their flag. I have a cambodian friend he used to talk about these temples.
I am waiting for two more answers or atleats one more to close this puzzle. Srikanth very good.
I will check about pulikesi and the jain king. I know tha jain king..Pulikesilai niraiya peru irundhadalai..I will have to look..
