How village temples preserve a sense of community - a lesson from #govindarajapuram

Most palakkad agraharams are generally a single long street with town house style layouts. Most of them have a small temple - each with its own history agama and utsava. The Govindarajapuram

temple has sri bhumi sametha varadaraja as it's deity and follows the vaikasana agama and has its chariot festival around utthradam of mesha masam (chittirai). The palakkad agraharams originally were landed but with time and redistribution - many of the families fell into penury

(including ours) -leading to migration all over the country (and abroad). As the famous palakkad person from tirunellai TN Seshan said - became cooks clerks or civil servants. But thankfully the palakkad agraharams did not go entirely the way of the Tanjore ones...

Would be interesting to compare #ps2 to the other movie that was made of a #kalki opus - #parthibankanavu
Given #ps is far more complex nuanced and layered it's apples and oranges - caveats noted #ps vs #pk

First casting - make up was not advanced in #pk so we all knew

that SV Ranga Rao was the ascetic but the casting was perfect. A handsome Gemini and Vaijayanthi make the casting of #ps2 pedestrian. But also Subbiah and Ragini.. and Jaffer Sitaraman and siruthondar
2. For the most the adaptation of #pk stayed true to Kalki this is where most

of the grouse about #ps is
3. The kicker in #ps is ofcourse music - period and culture inappropriate in the most. In #pk u feel transported to that pond near mahabalipuram where sivakami stays in wait for narsimha pallava. Listen to MLV here

Ok here is the morning after tweet #ps2
1. A few minutes of magic between kundavai and vanthiyadevan - just amazing stunning visuals beautiful love
2. The movie should have stopped at adita karikalans death and done a PS3 (i know i know) the hurry to finish lead to an

unrecognisable last part..
4. Some sections brilliant where you can see glimpses of manis genius - i still think that if he had stayed closer to the script and avoided the kalamukha army rashtrakutas etc he would have gotten a better finish
5. A few moments between AK and

nandini - a glimpse of what Aishwarya Rai is capable of but through the movie - wooden expression with awful make up
6. To look back the music again had nothing to do with the period and setting of the movie and even otherwise awful
7. Manis PS not Kalkis PS - seemed to have

Like every parent here - we ve had conversations.. for us these conversations have happened overtime - and hence a reinforcement. The caveat for all of us is that we are trying to instill caution to people whose age and hormones promote risk taking.. we can advise and hope it

is remembered that's all.. this is what we shared 1. Don't wear your heart on your sleeve... attraction is not sufficient to squander your life away 2. You can't wish someones religion away - the dogma of religion is part of upbringing - if it teaches that a non believer

can be treated as commodity - then you should not expected to be treated differently - that's delusion 3. Love or infatuation should not make you stupid enough to film or post intimacy - it leads to blackmail 4. What ever happens (and we hope u will remember 1 -3 and not let it
