Dear Chandra,

I am Ilango, one of the regular visitors to your valaipookal pakkam. I love to write this response in Tamil but my computer is not fully ready for typing it.

First of all let me thank you for doing such a great job with your web hosting skills. You won’t believe that your works are very inspirational and as a result I’ve started looking for Tamil writing software and currently working towards maintaining my own valaipookal pakkam. Thanks again.



Secondly, I have some important comments to add to your article "Depression in Women". This article is as interesting as every other topic in your pakkam. Keep up your good work of educating World Tamil Community with important health information like this. I liked the fact and very glad that your article recommends taking medications to treat depression only as a last option. As a practicing Pharmacist in America I see way too many prescriptions being prescribed for Antidepressant medications (SSRIs). I would like to pass on the following facts which are 100% my ‘personal opinion’ and there is no valid research conducted to substantiate these views.



My strong belief about Antidepressant medication is that they are not very helpful in providing cure to the patients. In stead they make them feel better temporarily and they have major side effects including addiction like effect. So the net possible outcome of taking this medication would be side effects which are worse than depression itself. Surprisingly I came across an article in this regard and if you want to know more use this link. http://www.prisoner-of-paxil.org

The person who own this site is a patient and the content is nothing but his own experience with PAXIL a popular brand of antidepressent drug. Unfortunately I often hear the same story from many patients.

Initially I was very surprised to notice that most of the patients were females and started to look into the possible reason. It did not took me long to realize that society plays a vital role in causing depression. Hereditary inheritance is also one of the many causes for this condition but it is very negligent compared with the social causes like child abuse in various forms, premature, dishonest marital relationship stressful lifestyle often associated with money minded socio economic environment and lack of trust worthy relationships.



I’m 26 years old and I was born and brought up in Tamilagam until few years ago. That’s where I had a very good opportunity to live in a society where good moral values were not only taught to the younger generation but also followed by the elders. I should say majority of the parents were very responsible and not self centered. In most cases if not both the parents at least the mother spend as much time as she could with their kids and offered constant affection, attention and advice to the child. This social set up ensured safe growing environment and avoided many problems in young ones and they almost never had any Psychological problems. Especially in case of girls extra protection comes without saying. Another notorious problem kids in this country is facing is Attention Defecit Disorder. We can speak about that days together. but in essence, even though sometimes doctors acts in the best interests of the Pharma companies, I’m sure if every parent keep this in mind and do well in their part of rearing and supporting the child, we can avoid getting into pharmacological treatment for depression which is worse than the condition itself.

Sorry for taking too much of your time and space. and sincerely hope that this will be of some use.

Vaazthukaludan,

Ilango

Dear Chandra,



I have read several articles of yours and am very impressed with it. Unfortunately, I cannot write in Tamil without mistakes, though I can read it very well. I am 24 years old female and have been living abroad over 15 years. I had the privilege of growing up in both culture. The western outdoors and the eastern at home. This was at times difficult and confusing, but I welcome your article very much as they make me feel as part of the society and keep me on track. Since I have been introduced to your articles, I do not feel I am on my own and that there are many Tamil people out there who I could relate too. This helps me to keep in touch with my own identity.



In my opinion your guestbook is very welcomed idea as it gives me (and others) the chance to read other peoples opinion and feedbacks. Keep it up!



Shalini

My eyes are watering when you told about Prabhakaran. These good lines are depicting Prabhakaran as such. Ippadi oru thamilan enbathil perumaiaai irukkirathu. Even though I read about Prabhakaran and feel thankfulness about his actions, Your lines gives more sweetness in explaining him. Nandrihal, ungal vaarthaihalukku.

வணக்கம் சந்திரவதனா





உங்கள் பொட்டு கிளாஸ் எனும் கதையை அண்மையில் பெண்கள் என்ற இணையத்தளத்தின் மூலம் படித்தேன்.. பின்னர் பல வாசகர்களின் கருத்தையும் படித்துப் பார்த்தேன்.. நானும் சிறுகதை எழுதுபவர் என்ற முறையில் எனது சில கருத்துக்களையும் சொல்ல விரும்புகின்றேன்..



தலித் இலக்கியம் என்று ஒன்று உள்ளது அதில் தலித் மக்கள் தமது சமூகத்தில் தாம் எதிர்கொள்ளும் பிரச்சனைகளை எழுதுவதுண்டு.. இந்த தலித் என்பதிற்குள் நானும் நீங்களும் நிச்சயம் அடக்கம்.

அடுத்தது தலித் என்பர்களைத் தனிமைப் படுத்தி நாம் உயர்ந்தவர்கள் அவர்கட்காக நாம் குரல் கொடுக்கின்றோம் என்ற வகையில் எம்மை நாம் உயர்த்திக் கொள்ளல்.. இந்த இரண்டாவது வகையையே தாங்கள் கை ஆண்டிருக்கின்றீர்கள்..

உங்கள் பொட்டு கிளாஸ் என்னும் சிறுகதை மூலம் நீங்கள் உயர்ந்த ஜாதியைச் சேர்ந்தவர்கள் உங்கள் குடும்ப கௌரவம் என்பவற்றை நீங்கள் பிறரிக்குப் பறை சாற்ரி விட்டீர்களோ என்று எனக்குப் படுகின்றது..



கருக்கு பாமாவின் கருக்கு சங்கதி போன்றவற்றை தாங்கள் படித்திருக்கக் கூடும்.. அந்த உணர்வையே நான் நாவல்களிலும் சிறுகதைகளிலும் எதிர்பார்க்கின்றேன்.. இது எனது தனிப்பட்ட கருத்து மட்டுமே..



நட்புடன்

சுமதி ரூபன்
