 INTRADUSING OF KOMBAI

         Kombai is a panchayat town in Theni District in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, located in the beautiful foothills of Western Ghats, blessed by mother nature with all Pancha Boota - Land, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether. The town is known for its splendid nature, culture, diversity and ethnicity, history, landmarks, and flourishing transformation.

      Kombai is also well known for dogs. Kombai dogs and Rajapalayam dogs are also employed in the police department.

Agriculture is the main occupation of this village. Many people working in the police profession, software industry, cinema industry & own agri product export.

     Kombai has an average elevation of 399 meters (1309 feet). The village is situated near the Western Ghats and is surrounded by mountains. North Side- Pannaipuram, East Side-Salamalai hills, West Side-Kerala border hills, South Side-Uthamapalayam town. Two mountains called Ramakkal Mettu Hills are situated on the west side & Salamali Hills are situated on the east side.

                                             KOMBAI DOGS

The breed originated in the Theni district and is named after the town of Kombai. It subsequently spread throughout Southern India. The Kombai was traditionally kept by zamindars and others for coursing a variety of games. When hunting it is particularly robust and athletic, easily clearing hedges and other obstacles. They are also called polygar dogs

     The Kannada Vokkaliga zamindars of Kombai presented Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali with these dogs for their army. The ferocious dogs were trained to rip the hamstrings of enemy horses. Tipu sent the town an idol of Ranganathaswamy in gratitude is said that the Kombai polygars valued the dog so highly that in the olden days, they were ready to exchange a horse for one.

      There are conflicting reports about the status of the breed; some reports from the 1960s stated the dog was popular and numbers were increasing, whilst others from the same period described them as practically extinct. A Tamil Nadu state-run dog-breeding facility did take up the cause of breeding the Kombai, along with several other local breeds. However, it was reported they suspended their Kombai breeding program when owners who had purchased dogs returned them, finding their character ill-suited to keeping as pets.

வேதாகமத்தில் அண்ணகர்கள் ("EUNUCH")

வேதாகமத்தில் அண்ணகர்கள் : வேதாகமத்தில் அண்ணகர்கள் என்பவர்கள் இக்காலத்திய திருநங்கைகள் அல்ல என ஒரு கருத்து இருக்கிறது.  அதில் விதையடிக்கப்பட்டவர்கள் என்று ஒர் இனத்தை பார்த்தேன். அது ஆண்கள்/ பெண்களை திருநங்கை ஆக செய்வது.  இதையும் தவறு என்று சொன்னாலும் வேதத்தில் மூன்று புத்தகங்களில் உள்ள வசனங்களைக்கொண்டு திருநங்கைகளை ஊழியத்திற்க்கு வரவேற்கலாம். ஆண் பெண்ணாக மாறுவதில் எந்தவிதமான கலப்பு வித்து இல்லை. ஆணாக இருக்கும்போதே பெண்ணின் பாவனை வர கலப்பு வித்து காரணமல்ல. கர்த்தருக்கு பிடிக்காதது கலப்பு வித்து. “தாயின் வயிற்றிலிருந்து அண்ணகர்களாய்ப் பிறந்தவர்களும் உண்டு , மனுஷர்களால் அண்ணகர்களாக்கப்பட்டவர்களும் உண்டு , பரலோகராஜ்யத்தினிமித்தம் தங்களை அண்ணகர்களாக்கிக்கொண்டவர்களும் உண்டு , இதை ஏற்றுக்கொள்ள வல்லவன் ஏற்றுக்கொள்ளக்கடவன் என்றார். (மத்தேயு 19 :12) ” இந்தியாவிலும் மற்ற இடங்களிலும் இருப்பார்கள். தாம்பத்திய வாழ்க்கை வாழ்ந்து குழந்தை பெற முடியாது. அண்ணகர்கள் -   பெண்ணாக பிறந்து ஆண் தன்மையாக மாறும் . விதையடிக்கப்பட்டவர் – கோசுரு இவர்கள்தான் . குழந்தை பெற முடியாது . இது முத...

My Father

A mother’s love is talked about repeatedly everywhere, in movies, in shows, and more. Yet, what we fail to acknowledge is the strength of a father which often goes unnoticed. Father’s a blessing that not many people have in their lives. It would also be wrong to say that every father is the ideal hero for their kids because that is not the case. However, I can vouch for my father without any second thoughts when it comes to being an ideal person. My Father is Different! As everyone likes to believe that their father is different, so do I.
