One of my students who has more possessive and
blind love towards me, sent a message : Sir,why no post today ? I replied that I had
to work on the china paper and send it to the editor . Earlier Prem used to put pressure on me to write and once in a csual way remarked (to tease me ?) and also tell the truth that my extempore comments as a reaction in
the Face book looks more good than the
blog writing .I was pleasantly shocked by her quick wit . As if to prove she is
right I wrote a detailed comment yesterday for her comment, recalling my Pune
Gohhale Institute days and she must have
been happy to read that.
Thirukkural
is a treasure house of wisdom.It has been translated into many languages and there is no dearth of it in English .And yet I have
chosen to do my own interpretation to
add more richness and beauty. This is a field where more one reads the more he
or she realizes the limits of his or her ignorance.
All the
1330 couplets encompassing Aram ,porul ,Inbam are pregnant
with deeper meaning and greater insight.There are different interpretations and
language play is also visible ; slowly, gradually
I will attempt to present a unified and holistic picture about the life
game which is now forgotten by
mankind fully seduced by materialistic
culture mostly triggered by the process of globalization and the resulting
capitalist civilization.we shall come to transltation:
# Is there
any supreme pleasure in this materialistic world
During
earthly existence other than leaning on
The slender
shoulder of my beloved
And get
tossed and turned by that intoxicant like a
Lotus flower
bloom, following the sunrise.
Before I
conclude let me say….Be yourself;make an appppointment with yourself;and have
date with yourself.Relax and enjoy and
do not forget to laugh
