Looks like you are new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Ever since we lost Sambol, our regular Sri Lankan blogger, we have been in the search for someone to represent the Island nation and then we came across Nagalingam.

If you are wondering about why he goes by the monicker A Virile Nagalimgam, we have the answer.

My maternal great-grandfather, to my great delight, carried the ‘good’ name of Nagalingam for most of his adult life. Naga, in Sanskrit, most commonly means ’snake.’ In Pali and Sanskrit it can also mean ‘Elephant’ (a most generously endowed mammal) Lingam, as I’ve outlined above, carries the symbolic representation of phallus. (it is curious to note that more of my Christian friends were conversant with this interpretation of the Shiva Linga than any of the so-called Hindu scholars I came into contact with while living in an Ashram–just goes to show you how ignorant we Hindus are about Western analytical appropriations of our cultural wealth. or is it Vealth?)

Thus the delightful meeting of ‘Snake’ and ‘Phallus’ produce what must be the most virile name in the history of names.

Yup, you came to the right place people. The party is about to start.

He has spent a considerable amount of time in the Outback where he reacquainted himself with Cricket, but fret not, he will be talking about all things Desi, just like the rest of the ÜD gang.

He might even throw in a few tips on how Desi’s should work out to achieve maximum muscle tone in minimum time. Ask nicely and your wish might be granted.

Please welcome A Virile Nagalingam and somebody please be getting the Vine. Thank you.
