அப்பாவின் அன்பு

ஒரு வழிகாட்டும் ஒளி, வாழ்க்கையின் நீளத்தால்.
உங்கள் ஞானம், கடல்களைப் போல ஆழம்,
இந்த பயணத்தின் வழிகாட்டி.

மகிழ்ச்சியின் நாட்களிலும், துயரத்தின் இரவுகளிலும்,

இந்த நாளில், நான் உங்களை மதிக்கிறேன்,

நன்றி எண்ணற்ற வழிகளுக்காக,
ஒவ்வொரு தருணத்திற்கும், நல்லதற்கும், கெட்டதற்கும்.

Why is our language called ‘Tamizh’?

Why is our language called ‘Tamizh’? Ki. Va. Jagannathan (Ki. Va. Ja.), the legendary Tamil scholar and literary visionary, once found himself in the divine presence of Periyava, when a question was posed that momentarily stilled his erudition: “Why is our language called ‘Tamizh’?” Taken aback, Ki. Va. Ja. admitted with humility that he had never contemplated that question deeply. He reflected, “If someone were to ask me about the greatness of Tamizh, I could speak for hours—on its antiquity, its grammar, its literature, its uniqueness among world languages. But why it is called ‘Tamizh’—I do not know.” With characteristic grace, Periyava smiled and said: “This is merely my thought—neither confirmed by scholars nor inscribed in any linguistic doctrine. But to me, the answer lies in one letter: ‘ழ’ (zha).” He then proceeded, in that meditative rhythm only saints possess, to list words that hold this unique sound, each word soaked in beauty and depth: மழலை (mazhalai) – the babble of a c...

The quote "If you want a new idea, read an old book," attributed to Ivan Pavlov, a Russian physiologist known for his work in classical conditioning, encapsulates a profound truth about the nature of creativity and innovation. This statement, simple yet profound, serves as a reminder of the cyclical nature of knowledge and the hidden treasures within the annals of history. At its core, this quote challenges the modern predisposition toward valuing the new over the old, the novel over the established. In an era dominated by the relentless pursuit of innovation and the next big thing, Pavlov's words invite us to pause and reconsider the sources from which truly transformative ideas emerge. It suggests that within the pages of old books—texts that have weathered the sands of time—lies a wealth of knowledge, perspectives, and insights that have the potential to inspire and catalyze new thoughts in contemporary contexts. Reading an old book is akin to engaging in a...

I've fallen for the song 'Bahu Manaratha' from the movie Memories in March. The music, composed by Debajyoti Mishra and the haunting vocals of Subhomita Banerjee, perfectly complement the poignant lyrics penned by Rituparno Ghosh. "Bahu manorathe saaju avisaare pahlu suneel besh Kajar nayaane salaaj bayane kusume sajanu kesh Sakhi hum, mohan avisaare jaaon Bolo hum, etath sukh kahan paaon   Jamunar pare, gahana aandhare, ghana nipaban maajhe Piya setha more bedana katare mohe laagi baithi aache Sakhi hum, mohan avisaare jaaon Bolo hum, etath sukh kahan paaon   Sakhi chira abhagini hum Baithe ekakini pohanu rajani tobu naa aailo shyam Sakhi chira abhagini hum   Krishna kajal pighal sajal nayaner nir dhare Eka khina patha britha manaratha bifala avisaare Sakhi hum, kabhu naa avisaare jaaon Dukh laaj etath sah nahi paahon   Britha manorathe saaju avisaare pahlu suneel besh Kajar nayaane salaaj bayane kusume sajanu kesh Fir aaj yun, mohan avisaare jaaon Sakhi...
