Time for some racism

I saw the recent YouTube virus (My Tram Experience) in which an English lady with a kid abusing the co-passengers in a tram. It was so funny to look at the immigrants face in the video. They all are so pissed and offended by her continuous abuse and non-stop using of F word. Seriously if you guys see the video the tram is full of immigrants as if the tram is running in an African or Asian country. Poor British people their country is fully occupied by others. It is not their fault, it’s their ancestors fault. Who asked them to colonise other countries and loot them. So this is our term to loot back what we lost to you:p You have to live with it or immigrate to any other English speaking countries, may be to Australia or New Zealand lol:p anyway you’re kinda minority in your own country:p

The sad part is, this retarded lady got herself arrested for talking what she felt about her own country…..no freedom of speech for a white lady in her own white country:p:p

Tamil Keyboard Warriors.

The recent Tamil hit song Why This Kolaveri Di sung in Tanglish(Tamil-English) is a super hit sorry blockbuster. Most of the comments posted in its official YouTube video which has crossed 8 million views are like “Proud to be Tamilian”, “Tamil rocks” I mean mostly Pro-Tamil. Personally I like this Kolaveri song, its kinda catchy and I appreciate their new try. But there is an issue here, some months back two NRI Iyer sisters (Vidya and Vandana Iyer) posted a lovely carnatic song called “Ashai Mugam”. It was an instant hit because the song was composed and directed by Shankar Tucker.

But the comments made by some Tamil youths are damn offensive. They argued that there is no word called “Ashai” in Tamil and the Iyer sisters are mocking Tamil etc etc instead of appreciating their efforts. I mean seriously, they are brought up in abroad for God’s sake. At least they tried instead of typing nonsense in public forums posing themselves as Tamil savers. I bet they themselves can’t talk good Tamil whatever….

Many people including me tried to explain these keyboard warriors that this is a slang word of Iyers but it went to deaf ears. I’m asking where are these Tamil keyboard warriors, why are they not questioning this weird song, is this Tamil???

My doubt, is these people are really against Aashai the word or the girls surname Iyer???

Another song from Iyer sisters:)

Why This Kolaveri Di

Why This Kolaveri Di :: people lost their taste or do they need something different?

After seeing people’s response for the tanglish(Tamil-English) song Why This Kolaveri Di from the movie “3” staring Danush and Sruthi Hassan, I think that people need change. It is not a small thing to get more than 5 million hits in youtube in just 1 week of release and also the top trending word on Twitter #kolaveri. This is the only Tamil song, sorry Indian song to do so and it’s kinda cool actually.

News about this song came in all leading NEWS channels and papers; even I read an article from The Guardian and BBC. Almost all the celebrities from India tweeted about this song, pretty weird huh!

The funny part is there are two “other” kolaveri songs which became super hit, one is Why This Kolaveri Di(Female Version) and the other, some Japanese chicks dancing for this song….Enna Kolaveri Sir Ithu(EKSI):p

News update:: Why This Kolaveri Di was aired in BBC Radio London 94.9 FM, gosh Kolaveri everywhere....the virus is spreading like anything, beware guyz.

Palakkad Tamil in Tamil Movies

Lot of Tamil/Malayalam Directors have used Palakkad Tamil in their movies. The Palakkad Tamil is a mixture of Tamil and Malayalam. Palakkad Iyers use that extensively but others wont mix that much Malayalam while speaking. My Tamil will change all of a sudden, once I meet my native friends. Wow I love to talk with them in Thalayalam, especially with my Assisi and St.Martin friends:)

Lots of Tamil Directors have used Palakkad Tamil in their movies. The Palakkad Tamil is a mixture of tamil and malayalam. Palakkad Iyers use that extensively but other caste tamils wont use that much comparatively.

The one who made this language a mega hit is Padmashree. Kamal Hasan in the movie Michael Madana Kamarajan, a mega hit movie. Kamal Hassan's Kameshwaran character and Urvashi's Tiruppura Sundari character both acted as Palakkad Bhramin, rocked the screen.



Another notable movie is Nala Damayanthi acted by Madhavan. His character Ramji a cook from Palakkad is widely appreciated by the audience. He used to say he is from a small village called Thatamangalam but the truth is it a small town not village.



Actor like Jayaram who himself is a Palakkad Bhramin has acted as Palakkadan in lots of movies....

Tamils of Palakkad

Disclaimer: The Tamils mentioned in this blog are native people not the migrant Tamil workers.

About Palakkad::
Palakkad is a land of palm trees and paddy fields. It's known to be rich in flora and fauna. Etymologically Palakkad is derived from the words Pala and Kadu. Pala, (Alstonia scholaris) is a tree with sweet scented flowers and Kadu meaning forest.
Palakkad has probably the biggest mountain pass in the world (30-40 Kms) separating the two folds of the Western Ghats on the border of Kerala with Tamil Nadu. It is the chief granary of Kerala, often called the Gateway of Kerala. Palakkad lies at the foot of the gigantic Western ghats on the border of Kerala. Palakkad is known for its historical background and the remnants of Tippu Sulthan’s Fort. Palakkad district is situated in the South West Coast of India. This district with mountains, forests, and fertile valleys, rivers and mountain streams are rich in flora and fauna.

Tamils of Palakkad::

Palakkad is a Tamil-majority city. There is data on the age-old presence of Tamils in Palakkad. But we always felt that Tamils constituted a significantly scanty minority community in Kerala. Nonetheless, the presence of the Tamils was omnipresent. The installation of messages, in Tamil as well as Malayalam, on socially consequential placards, in various sites of Palakkad, was unexpected. Even the Malayalis in Palakkad can understand Tamil. The Tamils could converse in pristine Malayalam as well as their own mother tongue.

There are Tamils in all the three major religions ie Hindus, Muslims and Christians.

In Tamil Hindus the majority are Iyers, they are called Palakkad Iyers or Pattars. There is a famous saying about them in Kerala "Pattaril Pottanilla" There is no fool among Kerala Iyers. There are other caste people like Gounders, Nadars, Chettiars, Mudaliyar and Pillai's etc.

In Tamil Muslims it is mainly Rowthers and their strong presence can be found in Palakkad market and in villages of south Palakkad.

Tamil Christian's presence can be found in the borders of south Palakkad and they are mainly Roman Catholics and belongs to a caste named Vanniyar.
