BOOKS FOR SALE! Price: RM48 Paperback Tamil: A Biography by David Shulman Synopsis: Spoken by eighty million people in South Asia and a diaspora that stretches across the globe, Tamil is one of the great world languages and one of the few ancient languages that survives as a mother tongue for so many speakers. David Shulman presents a comprehensive cultural history of Tamil language, literature and civilization emphasizing how Tamil speakers and poets have understood the unique features of their language over its long history. Impetuous, musical, whimsical, in constant flux, Tamil is a living entity and this is its biography. Two stories animate Shulman s narrative. The first concerns the evolution of Tamil’s distinctive modes of speaking, thinking and singing. The second describes Tamil’s major expressive themes, the stunning poems of love and war known as Sangam poetry and Tamil s influence as a shaping force within Hinduism. Shulman tracks Tamil from its earliest traces at the end of the first millennium BCE through the classical period, 850 to 1200 CE, when Tamil-speaking rulers held sway over southern India and into late-medieval and modern times, including the deeply contentious politics that overshadow Tamil today. Tamil is more than a language, Shulman says. It is a body of knowledge, much of it intrinsic to an ancient culture and sensibility. Tamil can mean both knowing how to love in the manner of classical love poetry and being a civilized person. It is thus a kind of grammar, not merely of the language in its spoken and written forms but of the creative potential of its speakers. #thebookbox #books #booksmalaysia #indiabooks #indiabooksmalaysia #bookstagram #cheapbooks #tamilabiography #davidshulman #year2023

16.05.2022 1-я слёзка (1st tear) Вы знали, что дети когда рождаются не плачут со слезами?!;) Должно пройти какое-то время, чтоб у них появились слёзы. Когда ребёнок плачет без слёз, воспринимаешь, как сигнал, что ему что-то нужно.Но вот когда появляются слёзы! Тут уже включаются эмоции 🤍 Did you know that babies don't cry with the tears when they're born. It takes a while for them to be able to cry with tears. #david #davidshulman #son #baby #newborn #historyofonebaby #love #mrdavid #cute #sweet #kids

Ecstasy and Other Stories by Thi.Janakiraman and translated from the Tamil by David Shulman, S. Ramakrishnan and Uma Shankari has 11 Short stories that have been written decades earlier but do not feel dated for they hold in their realm a hum of human feelings,of fear of doubt and guilt and remorse but also joy and the little bits of pride.The stories are timeless in its expression and how the cast of characters in each try to negotiate their way about. There is also an essay by Uma Shankar capturing the memories and the essence of the author as a man and as her father. . . A few stories in the collection do have common themes: that of parent child bonds or the absence of children in a couple's life and music as a component.The title story in fact brings both elements in ways that will leave you moved and somehow a part of the story or wishing you were part of it intimately. And that says a lot about the writing and the translation that transports the reader to the musical gap between the old classical music and the new (Tamil film music) and how essentially good music transcends language but remains a feeling that keeps you enthralled and connected. It is a story that is as sublime as the soul of music that it talks about. . . The stories are set in an earlier time but the cornerstone of each one lies in human life and the values that one lives life with: a wandering medicant who makes a learned judge to look within when he talks about justice and right and wrong, a school teacher who is basking in the praise of his excellent track record as a teacher on the day of his retirement,who is loved and his word taken as sacrosanct by his students and then comes face to face with something he never imagined. These are stories that reveal life lessons in subtle ways and ones I enjoyed thoroughly. . .

Mixed feelings on this one. It starts off brilliantly exploring Basquiat's years as a graffiti artist, but once it begins focusing on his relationship with Andy Warhol, coping with fame, and his increasing drug use, it loses focus and feels emotionally distancing. I'd like to see a longer, more comprehensive, and more intimate documentary on Basquiat. #AmericanArtists #AmericanMasters #Artists #Arts #Artworks #BasquiatRageToRiches #Cinema #Culture #DavidShulman #Documentaries #Eighties #Films #JeanMichelBasquiat #ModernArt #NeoExpressionism #NewYork #PBS #SAMO #StreetArt
I was listening to Isreali Indologist David Shulman's lecture on the topic "How to Put Together a Goddess out of Musical Scales" in which he illustrates esoteric ways of worship, using Muthuswami Dikshitar's Neelotpalamba Navavarna Kritis. He says there are several methods to invoke a goddess and one of it is through music. Very fascinating lecture. For all those interested, it is available on YouTube. The lecture resonated very much with me, especially because the Sree Bhagavati ritual aspires to do the same, to invoke the goddess by connecting the worshipper to be more observant and mindful about Nature and art. Today I managed to get six of the ten Dasha pushpams - Karuka, Poovamkurunnila, Thiruthaali, Muyal cheviyan, Vishnukranti, and Uzhinja.

I wrote about breath/ breathlessness/ uyir/ prana/ suffocation/ resuscitation/ and that in-between "clenching up" feeling that Ingeborg Bachmann describes in her War Diary, that so many of us are feeling today. "Love can take your breath away too. Hearts can skip beats. The idea of uyir might sound like spiritual mumbo jumbo with its notions of harmony and the breathing world, but we know that our bodies are dead stars, don’t we? We know that, every time we breathe, we are inhaling molecules that were previously exhaled from every other human who has ever lived. That we are interconnected across breath and time and space, which is why, even though our lives may be historically short, we are still part of eternity. We know that the hardest part of the contagion this past year has been that we are vulnerable because of the very thing that connects us: our breath."

this tiny poem is blowing my rooftops off because it was sung maybe 1500 or 2000 years ago and it is singing still. Sharing this love bomb with you on the eve of a two week lockdown because evening was the hardest part of the day according to the grammar of love of the Sangam poets. And even if you’re not occupying a particular Tamil landscape of pasture or forest, desert or coast, even if you’re not in the jasmine hour, even if you’re not separated from a lover you are yearning for…. no matter what your geography, you may still know that every hour is heartbreak hour for the lonely. This is how it has always been. ❤️💔 . . #loneliness #sangampoetry #kuruntokai #davidshulman #tamil #poetrystillmatters #lockdown #heartbreakhour #lovepoems

Digging through an old hard drive from 2011 This is the ‘Raygun Gothic Rocketship’ by artist Sean Orlando, Nathaniel Taylor and David Shulman. Original for the 2009 Burning Man but ended up at the waterfront at the Embarcadero in SF fir a few years around 2010-2013 ... who had a photo of this ? #burningman #seanorlando #nathanieltaylor #davidshulman #raygungothic #gothic #rocketship #sfwaterfrontart
This was a book that was lying on my "to be read" pile for over six years. I finally finished reading it last month. It left me feeling both proud and ashamed,in equal measure. How's that possible you ask? Well, I was proud to learn that the Tamil language had such a glorious heritage,and was ashamed of the fact that I was largely ignorant of it. The book extols the virtues of #Tamil, without exaggeration. It traces its origins,from its earliest available written records, while also recounting legends associated with its mythical origins. Most notably it provides a good idea about the relationship of Tamil with several other dominant languages, especially #Sanskrit,in all its years of existence. Several examples of beautiful poetry,along with translations are provided. The influence of different regimes on the language are also explored. The role of religious literature in shaping and reviving Tamil has also been explained. Specifically,the strong relationship between the #Hindu religion and the Tamil language,and how they mutually strengthened each other has been dealt with at length. This book was definitely not easy to read,for multiple reasons. Firstly the standard of English was itself quite high. Additionally,there were several #linguistic terms that made no sense to me and I was forced to look them up. I am not in the least qualified to comment on the technical aspects of the book, however I can say with conviction that it challenges any preconceived notions one might have about the Tamil language, having experienced it first-hand. This book also helps fill the void that conventional school history textbooks contain, when it comes to #South #Indian history,as it recounts notable rulers and their military campaigns and trade relations, which extended Tamil's reach to much beyond #India's borders-over a millennium ago! The book has been written without any biases,as it is authored by an eminent Israeli #linguist,who has no reason to favour/criticise Tamil beyond proportion. It's a must read for anyone who's interested in learning about the evolution of a language and the factors that influence it. #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #bookstagram

NL Museumweek 4): Museum Boojmans van Beuningen: Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988 (27) “Kings of Egypt II”, 1982. Donated to the museum in 2012, and “Kings of Egypt III” by the generours Rotterdam gallerist/art dealer H. Sonnenberg. This epic work contains many references, to Ramses II, the prolific pharaoh who a.o. build Abu Simbel, and Luxor Temple, with gimonguos statues of himself, hieroglyphs and symbols Of course also his signature skull(s)&crown& copyright symbol. This multi-layered powerful painting works almost like a time portal, like standing in the upper chamber of a Gizeh pyramid. Great disturbing documentary on Basquiat, his intens life, burning the candle on both sides, and his very complicated complex relationship with the art world and dealers/collectors : “ Basquiat: Rage to Ritches”, 2017, by David Shulman. ( also on YouTube). Btw also Interesting documentary “Conducting Boijmans”, by S. H. Dolz, 2015, about a.o. how a museum director can charm and seduce art collectors to donate or loan (as promised gift) art works to the museum. #boijmans #basquiat #basquiatragetoriches #davidshulman #museumweek #contemporaryart #contemporaryartmuseum #artcollector #contemporaryartcollector #sjarelex #soniahermandolz

New year, a moment to go over some new readings and rereadings. A.k Ramanujan translations of 3rd century Tamil love poems have definitely been a highlight so far (🙏 @wechselmann) and has been great to read alongside Bishop and Rich's poetic cartographies, and Shulman's majestic account of Tamil. Ambedkar (and Roy's intro) feels as forceful and relevant as ever in light of recent events. Just starting Hungry Tide (🙏@arkodatto), something to look forward to, having read Gun Island and returned to Derangement (so many times) the past year. #smuthiah #davidshulman #akramanujan #amitavghosh #brambedkar #pankajmishra #adriennerich #elizabethbishop #anneboyer #derekjarman
Wow. This is brilliant. * ‘But not this...not this...something was still unclear. Just a kind of bad feeling. Like being forced into a nightmare and not being allowed to wake up from it. You’re caught up with several voices. You don’t know what. Maybe the answer is to stand up and resist? But maybe, the opposite, to see and be and feel until the blood flows in order to...in order to what? Time is passing...’ * ‘When you go to a place where you might die that’s one thing, but when you go to a place where other people are liable to die and you just stand and watch them, that’s something quite different.’ * ‘Something struck me like lightning. All at once everything seemed to mean something different, more precisely: exile. This was exile. This was what exile was like. This was what exile looked like.’ * #bookstagram #bookphotography #fiction #bibliophile #reading #bookworm #bookish #bookcover #khirbetkhizeh #syizhar #yizharsmilansky #nicholasdelange #yaacobdweck #grantabooks #davidshulman @grantabooks

“We speak as everyone does, of the heat. A great sensitivity to minor variations, a sort of thermal connoisseurship, comes through. It was 41 yesterday, and the humidity is horrible, especially in the late afternoon. Sometimes heat seems to me the name of an animal, a living, menacing being, roused, relentless, driven by its own autonomous moods and needs.”... from David Shulman’s SPRING, HEAT, RAINS, A South Indian diary #firstdayoftherestofmylife #summer

"Tamil Temple Myths: Sacrifice and Divine Marriage in the South Indian Saiva Tradition" by David Shulman| Princeton University Press | 1980 The story of how I got the above book begins with my coming across its mention in another book (Vithal of Pandharpur by R. Dhere) that I shared on my IG story a few days back. . If the title "Tamil Temple Myths..." intrigued me, Dhere’s glowing mention of this book sealed it for me — I wanted to buy the book. I had to have a copy of this book. . And so the hunt began... . The prices on e-commerce sites were unbelievably high and though a couple of bookstores that I frequent gave me a lower quote, the book was still unaffordable. That's when I turned to #JSTOR (the University I'm employed with has a membership that I use) to see if they had a copy available. JSTOR did have an e-copy, but unfortunately for me the publications of Princeton University Press (the publisher) were not part of the membership. I didn't give up and turned to my University Librarian, Satish, for help. Can you believe that less than 24 hours after I put in my request, this book was on my table? Satish got this book from the International Institute of Population Studies on an Inter-Library Loan, and the book is mine for the next 15 days. On flipping though the pages, I see that the book was purchased in the early 1980s for Rs.250/- and has never, ever been issued. Of course, what a book like this is doing in a Library that houses books on Population Studies and Demography is a mystery. The mind boggles ! I have already started reading "Tamil Temple Myths" having put aside all the other reading that I was in the midst of. The next fortnight will be devoted to reading this book, taking notes and references, writing down quotes, and maybe photocopying the relevant pages. . I am ecstatic with delight at this prospect. 😁
"There's something about that situation when you do the best you can, when you say a word like 'No,' for example. It's an amazing word. It has this astonishing kind of richness of life experience in it. The soldiers say you have to leave this place and you say, 'No. I am not going to leave. I won't leave this rocky hill. I will be here and bear witness as long as it takes.' There's something about that that allows you to somehow expand the sense of your own humanity and embrace even these people who I believe are misguided. There's really no room in a situation like that at all for feeling self-righteous or superior, but there is a sense of freedom." —David Shulman (right), peace activist and a founding member of the joint Israeli-Palestininian movement Ta'ayush, joins us in the stacks of the Seminary Co-op for a look at the books that helped shape his stunning memoir, FREEDOM AND DESPAIR: NOTES FROM THE SOUTH HEBRON HILLS @uchicagopress.

Jean-Michel Basquiat, the New York graffiti artist turned ’80s art world rock star who died 30 years ago (August 12, 1988) will be profiled as part of the PBS documentary series American Masters “Artists Flight.” One of the most influential American artists of the 20th century, Jean-Michel Basquiat was a rock star of the early ’80s New York art scene. He lived fast, died young and created thousands of drawings and paintings. It took less than a decade for Basquiat, an accountant’s son from Brooklyn, to go from anonymous graffiti writer known as SAMO© to an epoch-defining art star. Today, Basquiat is in the top tier of the international art market along with Picasso, de Kooning, and Francis Bacon. 2018 marks the 30th anniversary of Basquiat’s untimely death from a heroin overdose. In death, he has emerged as one of the most important artists of his generation and now exhibits in museums all over the world. American Masters — Basquiat: Rage to Riches features exclusive interviews with Basquiat’s two sisters, Lisane and Jeanine, who have never before spoken about their brother and his art for a television documentary. With striking candor, art world colleagues, including dealers Bruno Bischofberger, Larry Gagosian and Mary Boone, and Basquiat’s most intimate friends, lovers and fellow artists draw a portrait of a handsome, charismatic and fragile personality – also divulging the cash, drugs and pernicious racism that he encountered. The main weapon Basquiat used to fight prejudice was his art. A game changer, his painting embodied and reflected breakthroughs in music, poetry and a new type of expressionism in modern art. #Basquiat #pbs #americanmasters #artistsflight #documentary #artist #vimooz #davidshulman #jeanmichelbasquiat

My new book of poems, "The Altar of the Only World" has just been published by @harpercollinsin. It will be in bookstores in December and is available for pre-order on @amazon and @amazondotin now. Link in bio. The book's description and David Shulman's wonderful blurb are below: "Sharanya's poems are, in her own phrase, a form of phosphorescence - glowing in darkness, simmering with wonder, mythic in resonance, boldly embodied, hence surprisingly spiritful, even spiritual in the finest sense of the word. They are also skeptical and reflective, tempering and enhancing the glowing flame. Riptides of Tamil hide beneath or within her honed English, for those who can hear and see." - David Shulman. 🍃 Sita in a forest, loved and left behind, looks towards the night sky and sees Lucifer's fall from grace. Inanna enters the underworld, holding her heart before her like a torch. It is not easy to bear the weight of light; wilderness takes time to turn into sanctuary. These are poems of exile, resurrection, impossible love, lasting redemption - and above all else, the many meanings of grace. . #TheAltaroftheOnlyWorld #books #poetry #poems #poetsofinstagram #writing #writers #lit #books #bookish #bookstagram #coverreveal #poetsofig #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #authorsofig #reading #readwomen #readdiverse #DavidShulman #Sita #Ramayana #Lucifer #Inanna #mythology #feminist #poetrygram #writersofinstagram #newbooks #spilledink #readwomen #readdiverse #design
