Rain

One of the nature's creature which makes me jealous. When the winds breached the cloud prisons, naughty, cute, little prisoners rocketed down from the skies to the Earth. They saw this infertile mass of rocks and sacrificed themselves to give us a life.

And i can't resist myself, from describing their entry into the Earth. With a colourful entry arch by Miss.Rainbow, rock music by nature's own band of thunders and lightning, and the loud prays(more like cries) of millions of farmers. Wow!!!
I love that. I came into this world in a dark hospital room, with only small cries of my mother. Sweet, But not enough.
And his character. He treats everyone the same. I am no different from a dead grass. I would love to have this nature. And he always bring merry with him. All the flowers, trees, and grasses spring into life and smile on his arrival. A very sweet guy in fact. I wonder whether he is broken piece of the moon or some star.
But these things doesn't make me jealous of him. there's something else. He is the only guy, who has touched the intricate parts of the love of my life, which even i haven't and that too, without her permission. I am really jealous of you, man!!! I wish, i were you!!!

The ninety-four shades of E.V. Ramasamy "Periyar" Naidu

You have to know me as a person before you read this article. This is not history, but a perspective and it is absolutely necessary to know the relevant details about the writer before reading their perspectives.  I'm not a Brahmin. I was born into the Nadar caste, which was suppressed by the then upper castes in the colonial era and liberated later. However, I do not consider myself a part of that caste anymore. Under the cover of building an identity and a sense of community, organised castes have developed only hatred towards other castes and I do not belong there. Though I'm an atheist and though I do not practice/preach religious rituals, my spiritual(not religious) beliefs are rooted in the philosophy of Tamils, most of which modern-day Hinduism has encapsulated. So, I'm part atheist, part Hindu (rather a strange combination). I love Tamil immensely. I will do anything to promote her, but I will not impose her on a non-Tamil speaker. I believe in freedom, equality a

The world has seen many entrepreneurs who run businesses to be successful and wealthy, but Tamil Nadu produced a man who turned an entrepreneur to fight the might of the British and to prove them that India can stand up on its own legs. In this venture of his, he lost all his wealth and led a life of sacrifice so that we can breath freedom.  Chapter 1: Early years V.O. Chidambaram Pillai (VOC) was born on September 5, 1872 in Ottapidaram (the same place where Veerapandiya Kattabomman's memorial fort is). He was the eldest son of Olaganathan Pillai, an eminent lawyer and Parvathi ammal. He did his schooling in Ottapidaram, Thoothukudi(Tuticorin) and Thirunelveli, learnt English from a Taluk officer, and read Ramayana and Mahabharatha with his  grandparents. After finishing his schooling, he was employed as a clerk in the Thoothukudi Taluk office briefly before he went to Thiruchi to study law. He graduated in 1894 and a year later, returned to  Ottapidaram to practice law.

Forbidden history: Vanchinathan, the young freedom fighter

Indian historians have always had selective memory. To them, the four cities of Shahjahanabad(Delhi), Mumbaai(Mumbai), Mahishur(Mysore) and Kalikata(Kolkata) form the boundaries of the country. Many a men have lost their place in Indian history due to this geopolitical blindness. One such man is Vanchinathan.  Personal life: Vanchinathan was born into a Brahmin family in 1886 in the southernmost corner of the country. Sengottai, the town in which he was born, literally means 'Red fort' in English, but this one is not celebrated as the other one in the northern corner of the country. As a child, it is said, Vanchinathan was polite and unassuming, almost shy. He also seems to have been studious, graduating with a B.A. from Moolam Thirunal Maharaja College in Thiruvananthapuram and a M.A from Baroda university. While he was in college, he married Ponnammal with whom he fathered a daughter. After college, he was offered a clerkship in Travancore forest department which he happil
