the Real the Illusion The Periyar

The Kedarnath 2013 incident was real and so was the Mumbai 2005 heavy rain. They were just news and few seconds video clips for me. The Chennai 2015 floods were not as bad as other incidents. Just like everyone here, I too tried to help the affected. There could be Kedarnath 2016 or Mumbai 2017 but I guess I’ll remain not bother about it much even if it happens.

Do you remember the Tamil Nadu election 2016? My colleagues, friends, neighbours and people I saw in public places were all talking about change. If you count these people and compare it with real votes, the result is ridiculous, the opposite of what people talked. The illusions!

The world is full of illusions that we see as real and the reals that we see as illusions. Once upon a time, the earth was flat! Whether something is real or illusion, if is not good for the society it has to be eradicated. The change in people's mind is a real challenge. You need the time, money, support people, circumstances... to make even a little change.

I wonder how challenging it is to fight against the thousands of year old systems like religion and caste which are made into the fundamental values of our lives and making positive changes in the society. True leader.

New Year Resolution 2015

Another new year, another ( same! ) set of new year resolutions. I wanted to read Thirukural and set target 50 last year but couldn't achieve it. But then I used one Kural in my every blog post . New Year Resolution List: For year 2016, I should shorten it to at least 1/3 of this list. At least, make it more readable ;) Reading Books: Book reading is going to be reduced this year. I am planning to reread few of the books I read last year. Of course, will find time to read books suggested by friends. I have got Bhagavad Gita tamil version from my friend and might read this before the end of 2015. I Am Malala, The Last Temptation of Jesus Christ, Mossad, 'The Madman, The Forerunner, Spirits Rebellious', Yudhargal Varalaarum Vaazkaiyum, If You Meet The Buddha On The Road Kill Him are few of the books I enjoyed reading. By the way, I have changed the FB album title from "Books I read" to "Books I read - Not To Be Shared" ;) Accounting: How difficu...

My Book Shelf - Year 2017

I find it difficult to get this reading order. And I guess it would be still harder to read them without changing the order. I may allow one or two new books to be included in this list, if required. Share book reviews and ratings with Kovil Pillai, and even join a book club on Goodreads.
