Comparison of Basic Vocabulary of 600 words

I have prepared a list of 600 basic words in Sourashtra Language.
Those who are interested to know these basic words and want to compare with
other sister languages like Gujarati/Marathi, may contact me to my E-Mail ID
upamanyuoss@yahoo.co.in

Those who are not having 'sureshu' font have to instal the font so that they can read
the words in Sourashtra script also. Font file will be supplied on request.

Some people make a reckless comment that Sourashtra script resembles
Telugu Script.

World Classical Tamil Conference 2010

I was in Coimbatore on 25th June, 26th June an 27th June 2010 to witness
World Classical Tamil Conference. I visited the Conference site on 25th June and 27th June. I could enter into Mahanaadu Pandal only on 25th June 2010.
On 26th I visited Dhyanalingam at Isha Yoga Centre. Bus facility is not good.
I missed the last bus at about 6.45 p.m. I had to walk and hire an Autoricksha to come to Alandurai to board the Town Bus. So it is advisable to visit Dhyanalingam in morning hours so that you can return to Coimbatore in the evening.
On 27th I visited the Book Exhibition and purchased some books.
The halls in which Scholars read Papers could not be visited for entry is permitted to pass holders only.
The other exhibitions also could not be visited for there were very long queues.
