@sujithkumar13 Absolutely Goosebumps

[Sujith Kumar @sujithkumar13]

I wish more youngsters watch the Asian games like they watch the IPL. Absolute goosebumps moment specially to see our girls win the athletic gold in the relay event and in many other discipline in athletics. The day we celebrate these stars like our cricketers is the real change

Since I am tagged here, let me set a few things straight:

1) I am happy to defend my personal record as a Minister on any of the ~7,500 files I processed as Finance & HRM Minister between '21 - '23, or the ~100 I processed as IT Minister between '23 and '26

2) I cannot be held accountable for the actions of others beyond my control, particularly @chennaicorp which you ought to know is a different LEVEL of government (local body), and NOT in the control of the State Finance Ministry

3) No reasonable person would argue that everything was done right by one government, or that nothing is being done right by another government. I am a reasonable person, and hence I will not make such arguments

4) I had great hope that the new Government would use the unique luxury of a clean slate to undertake the profound reforms that are essential if we are to improve as a state, and to bring their vision of a corruption-free model to life - starting with gathering a slate of national & multi-national experts around them to make up for their inexperience

5) I am increasingly disappointed, in fact alarmed, at the looming administrative failure that I see developing - largely as a function of inadequate application of mind and infusion of expertise (which can still be rectified, in my opinion). The focus on image-management has to give way to a focus on actual administration/governance or our future is bleak

6) The failure of the press - acting as cheerleaders and fan media, instead of holding the government to account on administration/governance - is of deep disappointment to me. Many of the Chennai/TN press that held previous governments to account have now turned into fan pages. Do your job, with self-respect. The Govt has enough cheerleaders and can manage without you

7) The Noida (Godi) media, which is an unashamed agent/bootlicker of the Union regime and hence beneath contempt, has started to bring the same parasitic tendencies to TN politics. The injection of this Noida virus is deeply distressing.

I hope my position is clearer now

WELL DONE RAHUL GANDHI.

Personally speaking, I don’t care much for public posturing, ceremonial position in a queue, sequence in hierarchy on stage, seat on the table etc. In politics, however, these optics are sliced and diced. But truth is m, it shows an insecure mind, a big ego and a thin skin. Indian politics is full of this trash.

But on the Republic day celebrations , making the Leader of Opposition ( a shadow prime minister) Rahul Gandhi sit rows behind the others, shows you that we have a coarse, petty people in power, cunning, insecure and cowardly, like those sly village moneylenders seen in the 1970’s Hindi movies who have no scruples, and are shady, untrustworthy characters.

Rahul Gandhi may have things he can do better, but the decency, grace and gentlemanliness he brings to India’s current political toxicity is like a breath of fresh air. He carried himself with distinction. No fuss. Nothing. He sat where he was allocated his seat, craning his neck for a better view.

When this government is defeated, the Congress must not make the current man who will be ex-PM sit on the third row. No tit for tat. Give him respect: give him a front row seat. That will be the ultimate humiliation.

I repeat, we need a new politics. And a new leadership.

I don't think France is this idealistic. Nevertheless, we need to treat movie stars as normal humans and should not over celebrate them. We should respect them and feel happy about it. Whether it is cricket or movies or politics idolising anyone only means our IQ levels are low. We have to make TN high IQ society. Especially after #karurstampede the need for this has become very high.

13-7-2025 அன்று 'வள்ளுவர் மறை வைரமுத்து உரை' என்ற நூலைத்
தமிழ்நாடு முதலமைச்சர் அவர்கள் வெளியிட்டு அதன் முதல் படியைப் பெறும் பெருமை எனக்குக் கிடைத்தது

அதே நாளில் இன்னொரு நிகழ்ச்சி ஆளுநர் மாளிகையில் நடந்தது என்று படித்தேன். அந்த நிகழ்ச்சியில் திருவள்ளுவரை அவமதிக்கின்ற ஒரு நிகழ்வு நடந்தது என்று அறிந்து அதிர்ச்சியடைந்தேன்

சிறந்த மருத்துவர்களுக்கு ஆளுநர் கொடுத்த விருதில் ஒரு போலி 'குறள்' பொறிக்கப்பட்டிருந்தது என்பது தான் அதிர்ச்சிச் செய்தி

'குறள் 944' என்று பொறிக்கப்பட்ட 'குறள்' திருக்குறள் நூலில் இல்லை. எழுத்துப் பிழையோ, எண் பிழையோ என்று திருக்குறளின் எல்லாக் குறள்களையும் படித்துப் பார்த்தால் அது போன்ற பாடலே நூலில் இல்லை என்று தெரிய வருகிறது

குறள் 123 லிருந்து திருடி, திருத்தி இல்லாத பாடலைத் திருக்குறள் பாடலாகப் பரப்புவது ஒரு தரம் தாழ்ந்த செயல்

காவி உடை போர்த்தப்பட்ட திருவள்ளுவர் சித்திரம் போல், இல்லாத பாடலை 'குறள்' என்று பரப்புவது திருவள்ளுவரை அவமதிக்கும் ஒரு மன்னிக்க முடியாத செயல்

போலிச் சித்திரம், போலிக் குறள் ....இந்தப் போக்கு எங்கு கொண்டு செல்லும்?

For me TN #1 is not a surprise but just an external validation for the great work that has been happening on the economic front in #Tamilnadu towards the Trillion Dollar Dream. It is amazing @TRBRajaa to see this from The Economist Intelligence Unit.
