Having read the book, I have to say that the show made it a lot easier to sympathize with the characters; not knowing what they're thinking (as is the case in the book) is a major part of it.Sureshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12140529128155961833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17174057.post-40408398084360637652022-06-15T12:17:22.356-04:002022-06-15T12:17:22.356-04:00Hi Suresh, today is 15 years of Sivaji release.

It’s such a pleasant surprise to see y...Dear Jude,<br /><br />It’s such a pleasant surprise to see your note here. I mean, I have looked you up under ‘Jude Praveen’ so many times in the past (as recently as about 3 or 4 months ago).<br />Since you’ve listed a bit of chronology of some events, let me give you my side of it (also because I'm a sucker for nostalgia). :)<br /><br />1999 (October or November)<br /><br />We met for the first time at the Sathyabhama library. We played each other at the semi-finals and was soundly beaten. You went on to become the ‘First year’s winner’ (they did it separately for first years and they combined Sathyabhama and St Joseph’s for some reason).<br /><br />2000 (Jan - March)<br /><br />We met at the MCC grounds. We both ran the 800 and 1500. You came second in 800, I came third (I still remember the all yellow ‘uruvam’ passing me in the last 100ms). In 1500, a guy from chem dept came first, Ramesh from my class came second and you almost beat me in the last 150m but I somehow managed to keep third. Again, it was a first years only event.<br /><br />2000 (sometime between August and October)<br /><br />Again at the library. Oddly enough, neither of us was part of the competition (in my case it was because they allowed only one person per department and it happened to be a 3rd yr guy; don’t remember why you weren’t playing). We played outside and this time I managed to get on top. My best friend then, Badri, was also there.<br /><br />2001<br /><br />Ran into each other in the ‘pandhal’ a couple of times.<br /><br />2002 (sometime between August and October)<br /><br />Met at the St Joseph’s basketball courts. Played a few bullet style games in the magnetic chess board I always had in my bag.<br /><br />2003 March<br /><br />In the train en route to Delhi. We played some chess and spoke about some stuff for quite some time (I lost my voice the next day). The thing I remember the most is your take down of the Indian army (about their gear and their abuses in Kashmir) and my shameless defence, very much in line with the Thuglak reading right-wing nationalist I was at that time.<br /><br />2005-06<br /><br />Our discussions in Orkut. I was not a right wing nationalist anymore by then, but I had also rejected all forms of nationalism. We had a back and forth about Tamil nationalism. You expressed your desire for reviving some ‘proto-Tamil’ values and how an independent Tamil state is viable if we kept at it. I kinda dismissed them as pipe dream given the oppressive Indian state machinery etc.<br /><br />2019<br /><br />I’m sure now we’d find ourselves in the same side of the political/ideological spectrum and not too far from each other. I wish you had left me a word some time between 2007 and now, or continued to identify yourself as Jude Praveen somewhere. :p<br /><br />I'm sorry to hear about your condition (letting out a big sigh). Our conditions are so weird and 'out there' that we could neither anticipate it nor get it treated at a 'regular' hospital. Given that you have desire/will to go on, I wish you get better.Sureshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12140529128155961833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17174057.post-50485702130064017012019-01-30T15:24:48.284-05:002019-01-30T15:24:48.284-05:00Padmanabhan, Durga and Karthik,

We have run into each o...Dear Suresh, this is Jude. We have run into each other online and offline on several occasions. The first was when we played chess against each other at Sathyabama during our 2nd or 3rd year of engineering. After that, we met at a running/atheletic competition where you were attempting to complete a 800m race, then on a class trip in a train to Delhi where we talked about a number of things, in particular, your love for Vince Carter and his magnificent dunks. Later, we have had a few discussions in Orkut community about several topics including caste and tamil politics. Despite being at the opposite end of the political spectrum, I have found your views astute and your wit funny. I have also followed your youtube videos/documentaries, cooking videos and this blog. <br /><br />I am very sorry to hear about the tremendous pain that you are in. I can partially relate to what you are going through as I suffer from chronic jaw pain myself. About 4 years ago, I had an anxiety attach after which I began to grind my teeth during the night, which has left me with debilitating pain. I have been unable to chew food and have a constant dull jaw pain and headache at all times. While I am surviving, I am definitely not thriving. Just getting through the day. However, like you, I believe that there are things that I owe society and that thought keeps me moving. <br /><br />I would like to get in touch with you. I promise, I will not be asking for your credit card number or attempt to convert you to another religion :)) <br />My number is +1 318-497-1779 ( I am currently in the US) and my e-mail is judepj@gmail.com <br /><br />Hope to hear soon from you bud! <br /><br />~ Jude judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12034448724669457186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17174057.post-54976564243763728772019-01-07T07:10:24.507-05:002019-01-07T07:10:24.507-05:00Suresh, cleaning my garage for a move and logged o...Suresh, cleaning my garage for a move and logged onto this old laptop.
