The statement, "You cannot immediately unlove what you loved, unless you never loved it anyway," speaks to the deep-rooted and often indelible nature of true love. It addresses the complexity of emotions and the nature of attachment, particularly the difficulty or impossibility of completely detaching from something or someone that once held a significant place in your heart. Love, in its truest sense, is not a transient or fleeting emotion. When we love deeply—whether it's a person, a passion, or even an idea—that love becomes intertwined with our sense of self.

Swadesamitran, a pioneering Tamil newspaper, was founded in 1882 by the visionary and social reformer G. Subramania Iyer, a man who dedicated his life to the ideals of nationalism, social justice, and progressivism. Born in Thanjavur in 1855, G.

The story of Nagesh Kukunoor's transition from an environmental engineer to a celebrated filmmaker in Indian cinema is both fascinating and inspiring. Born on March 30, 1967, in Hyderabad, India, his early passion for movies was kindled by frequent visits to local theaters in Narayanguda. Kukunoor initially pursued a bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering at Osmania University before moving to the United States for a master's degree in Environmental Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. Despite a career as an environmental consultant, he remained devoted to his love for cinema, taking film workshops and studying acting and direction at the Warehouse Actor's Theater in Atlanta. His entry into the film industry came with 'Hyderabad Blues' (1998), a movie that set a new standard for independent Indian cinema. This film led to a series of well-received projects such as 'Rockford' (1999), 'Aashayein' (2010), 'Lakshmi' ...
