Silapadhigaram's Vettuvavari has a tribal woman named Salini who is possessed by Kottravai and Ilango describes the Kotravai Goddess as standing over the head of Mahishashura, with a trident in her hands, as the younger sister of Vishnu, as the consort of Shiva (whom Vedas praise), as skilled in swordfight, as one who once stood upon the head of a buffalo, as having attributes as that of Shiva (throat darkened by poison, wears Vasuki and tigerskin) and the attributes of Vishnu (holding a conch and discus)

Kotravai = Durga = Parvati = Consort of Shiva = Sister of Vishnu

If you don't like it, cancel Silapadhigaram and write your own Saalanadhigaram, call it Bangam Literature or something.

Almost 2 lakh views, mostly Dstocks bashing Badri for his comment on Arivumathi's book (pamphlet would be more fitting).

Not one of them bashing Badri have read Arivumathi's book or can defend why it is a great book. Their only argument is that if a TamBrahm says something, we must oppose it. That is the level of their thinking.

Open challenge to anyone who wants to defend Arivumathi's book, please write a rebuttal to my thread, and let's talk. Otherwise, its all empty big0ted hand wringing Tamil pride with zero actual knowledge of Tamil literature.

Until the TN people realise the viciousness of his statement, there is no scope for improvement.

🚨🎙️ Ryan Giggs: I was barely 21 years old when I bought a red Ferrari 550 Maranello.
It was the first expensive thing I had ever bought after reaching the top at a young age.

But I couldn't enjoy it, I hid it. I parked it two blocks away from the training ground, and I only drove it at night. Why!? Because I was afraid of the coach.

You didn’t have to hear Ferguson speak to understand him. You just had to see him standing at his office window, looking at you. That look alone would put you in your place.

In that dressing room, it didn’t matter if you were the new rising star or the most experienced player. We all had to behave with humility, On and off the pitch.

That culture shaped me, It made me understand that real professionalism has nothing to do with luxury or fame. But with how you live your life when no one’s watching.

That’s why, when people ask me how I managed to stay at the top level for so many years,To play at the highest level until I was forty, I always give them the same answer:

It was because of what I learned there, It was because of respect. And because I had a coach who, without saying much, taught me everything.

🚨🎙️ | Fabrizio Romano with a special message for Harry Maguire on Instagram:

"Harry Maguire deserves a special post, in my opinion. Might sound as a different one… but I believe it’s worth it, for football fans and not only.

"Just few days after his late goal at Anfield, becoming Man United’s unexpected hero (once again…), Harry’s story from these years keeps going round in my mind.

"It’s too easy now to forget what happened, what he’s had to go through for years and years since he joined Manchester United for that huge transfer fee in 2019.

"But players don’t control the transfer fee… that’s just about the clubs. They’re not robots. They usually try their best to perform, and sometimes it doesn’t work.

"Harry didn’t have any responsibility for that fee… but the level of abuse, attack, stupid posts, “memes” and unfortunately much more on all social media platforms has been something unprecedented. It was horrible.

"Imagine every week, getting abused just because your performances are not the best ones at your job. It can happen to anyone… but with Harry, what he suffered (and he wasn’t the only player underperforming, not at all…), that was way too much. That was unacceptable.

"Also, I’m sure 50% of people attacking him especially from abroad didn’t even follow or watch the games. It was just easy method: turn on your account, make fun of Maguire. But football is a lovely jungle sometimes.

"Harry never complained. Never overreacted. Never commented or hit back to anyone. Hard work. Keep going. Never giving up. Follow your dream to be Man United player at best level possible.

"No more captain’s armband? Also no problem. Stay focused. Help your teammates. Play at your best and give 100% in every game or training session.

"Maguire wasn’t a terrible player back then, he’s not a Ballon d’Or today. It’s about moments. Football, sport, life. A story valid for all the football fans, players, also other sports’ lovers… and normal people.

"After Anfield goal, he said: “I’m so happy because I’ve been in love with this club for years… and because for one day, our fans can be happy. They deserve it”.

"Let people talk. Let people criticise. Don’t give up on your dreams. Work harder. Give your best, always… and then beautiful things will come. ❤️👊🏼"

Cricket was never the same after Gilchrist arrived. If you grew up watching cricket in the 2000s you loved Gilly no matter whether you were an Aussie or not. No WK has scored more Test runs than him.

Thread about the man who ruled both behind and in front of the stumps.
