नाम्भोधिरार्थितामेति सदाम्भोभिश्च पूर्यते ।
आत्मा तु पात्रतां नेयः पात्रमायान्ति संपदः ॥

The ocean never begs for water, yet it is always full of water. If we make ourselves worthy, all resources will come to us on their own.

[Sridhar Vembu @svembu]

The DMK ecosystem is attacking me that the school issue I reported was a lie I concocted to help the TVK government. Let me state the facts.

We run two rural schools, both free NIOS schools under the Kalaivani Kalvi Maiyam umbrella, one in rural Tenkasi and the other in rural Theni.

The Theni school was originally started and run by a retired IPS officer, a honest and upright man. He built very nice facilities but had to shut down his CBSE school because the state government demanded too much money to issue the NOC. He told me that as a honest retired officer he did not have the money to pay and they would not issue the NOC otherwise.

He urged us to take over his trust so we could run our free NIOS school in the premises. That is how we started our NIOS school in Theni.

Unlike in Tenkasi, where I live, the Theni school faced occasional harassment from the DMK government because we did not have a state government registration, so we tried getting state government approval again (this time for the state board) and that of course would also cost money. So it was in a limbo.

Meanwhile in Tenkasi we wanted to build new school facilities (we were operating in make-shift facilities, the ones that came in frequent photos) and we applied for DTCP approval to construct the new buildings. Everyone who knows DTCP in our state knows what kind of corruption happened there under the DMK.

We waited patiently for DTCP approval for the new school buildings but the approval never came as long as the DMK was in power. The approval came automatically once the government changed.

It is this DTCP approval that I posted about in X. I want to once again appreciate the refreshing change.

Not only did the approvals come, government people told us not to pay money to anyone for any approvals. I have to appreciate this in public, having endured what we had endured before.

This is the "lie" that DMK wants to attack me on.

I do not need their certificate on my character.
They can examine their conscience and ask why a technology nerd like me who is mostly immersed in code would post these.

If they think I would back down by their vile personal attacks because I am a Brahmin or TVK Stooge or Sanghi or whatever, I will tell them this: unlike you dynasts I grew up with nothing. I studied in Tamil medium schools. I know how to live on nothing. I have dedicated the remainder of my life to make Bharat self reliant in technology while reviving our rural areas, the soul of our eternal sanatana civilization.

I will not be intimidated by their attacks. I am unafraid of death, why would I be afraid of the mere DMK?

And if they had any conscience they can return the money they looted (they know there they keep it) and then they can attack my character.

I will now go back to optimizing the code of our compiler!

A mind firmly resolved upon its goal is as difficult to reverse as the natural flow of water.

न जातु कामान्न भयान्न लोभाद्धर्मं त्यजेज्जीवितस्यापि हेतोः।
नित्यो धर्मः सुखदुःखे त्वनित्ये जीवो नित्यो हेतुरस्य त्वनित्यः॥

-श्रीभारतसावित्रीस्तोत्रम्

One must not give up morality succumbing to desire, fear, greed or even for the sake of life. Morality is imperishable but pleasure and pain are perishable. In the same manner the soul is imperishable but its instrument (body) is perishable.

गुणवदगुणवद्वा कुर्वता कार्यमादौ परिणतिरवधार्या यत्नतः पण्डितेन।
अतिरभसकृतानां कर्मणामाविपत्तेर्भवति हृदयदाही शल्यतुल्यो विपाकः॥

-सुभाषितरत्नभाण्डागारम्

Before beginning any work, a wise person should think carefully about its good or bad results. If the work done very hastily leads to calamity, then it has a heartburning effect like a thorn pierced in the skin.

-महाभारत

Indeed a friend turns into an enemy and an enemy becomes a friend when time changes. For self interest is more powerful than anything else.

Respectful conduct reveals affection, the body reveals one’s nourishment, behaviour reveals lineage, speech reveals one’s homeland. A person’s very being is the truest letter of introduction one can ever offer.
