Dr.Rama Ilango, International Institute of Tamil Studies called me one
day wheather I could explain THF to his team - that was Dr.Baghavati,
Dr.Lawrence and Dr.Kodumudi Shanmugam. Joined them was Ms.Padmavati, an 
archeologist from the neibouring Dept. of Archeology. We had a lovely discussion.

Dr.Lawrence and Bhagavathi were enthusiastic about their ambitious
'catalogue project' that the later presented at TI 2001. They want to
catalogue systematically all the available books on every subject in
Tamil. Kalyan who spoke of 'catalogueing the catalogue'  would be
interested in such a project. Suvadians could help them in pointing
possible funding sources for such a project.

I suggested them that if they could help me in identifying suvadis from
their library related to science - which they agreed.

Ms.Padmavati a practising archelogist, with a bicycle (Indiana Jones!!)
fascinated me the most. She is practical, vibrant and enthusiastic. She
has agreed to show me some rare 'kalvettu' in temples around that
I could film. She reads tamil from every era with ease. She deciphered
with joy the riddle we posed in our THF website on brahmi scripts!!
Anybody would love to work with her. She seems to be a good teacher
as well. (check the photos for a view).

The book Anto Peter carried along during the conversation attracted me
and I requested him to give me a digital copy (for which he agreed
graciously)-
that was 'Chitra Barathi' an old book on Barathi.
