Sigh... I'm reminded of that old Tamil quote, "Ethanai Kodi Inbangal Vaithullai Iraiva Iv Vaiyagathile".
The list of things that I must read keeps growing without bounds; no matter how many items I knock off the list in an attempt to keep it manageable, it just doesn't happen.
Chomsky's Thesis is one more addition to the list.
Hopefully I read it in my lifetime.
I have just downloaded it. I wonder why they did not put up files of smaller sizes. Downloading a single file of larger size always poses a problem.
When am I going to start reading?
Soon.... :-)
Chencottah,
may be the test is how serious are you to download, forget the possible reading. The resolve of Vikramarka (as in Vikram-Bhetala stories) or at least that of a resolute & successful Ghajini is necessary!!
Thanks CCG for your considerate comments!! :-)
I wonder who it was who wrote a thesis about how the emotions conveyed in movies can be represented as a linear equation in a few variables, the variables being 'happiness', 'anger' and so on...
I've never read this piece of work, I don't even know if it exists! An unsavoury character that I once knew told me that it was Kurt Vonnegut, but I have been unable to verify this claim.
Kovai,
what i know is the following:
There are only 6 or 7 basic stories (much like primary colours RBG) and any other story is a mix of these.
Heard it from a film personality.
Bible does not agree if you say there are five senses and nor do I agree if there are only Navarasaas (9 emotions) according to the website and definitely not list of 9 most famous fruit juices!

@CCG:
Yep, that's pretty much what that thesis was also (supposedly) saying!
Navarasam could also be Milagu, Paruppu, ElumichaipPazham, Kothamalli, Mysore, Kollu and I don't know what else ;)
quite interesting..(which rasa is this?)
