@labstamil @sumanthraman Francis Whyte Ellis made a die block depicting Thiruvalluvar as a Jain monk. If one reads Thirukural with an unbiased persoective, they can see that the possibility of Thriuvalluvar being a Jain monk is high

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Despite CCTV clearly showing that the SDM assaulted pump staff for not giving his car priority, and for no other reason, the SDM’s wife has filed sexual harassment complaints against them.

"Mere ko aankh maari."
"Bola kya maal lag rahi hai."

There will be no proof for these fabricated claims, but the law is such that even unverified accusations can ruin the lives of powerless people.

Using sexual harassment as a tool for personal vendetta only trivialises a grave issue. Over time, this not only harms the innocent accused but also undermines the fight against actual harassment. Nowadays, people don’t blindly believe a woman claiming sexual harassment, who’s to blame, if not the fake cases?

You were warned that EPFO is for govt.'s security ! #AbolishEPF

But, you believed the govt.

Now, you can't withdraw your EPF immediately after unemployment !

And you need to maintain 25% Minimum Balance.

Congratulations to all fan-boys of EPF scheme. Enjoy 8.25% pa. !!

[Suraj Kumar Talreja @suritalreja]

EPFO now thinks your own money is a luxury.

You work for years. Every month, a part of your salary is forcefully deducted as PF, no choice, no say.

Earlier, if you weren’t employed for 2 months, you could withdraw your PF.

Now they’ve made it 12 months.

And pension withdrawal? 36 months.

So if you lose your job today, you can’t touch your own money for a year.

How is this fair?

You save because they force you to, and when you actually need it, they lock it away.

This isn’t reform.

It’s bureaucratic cruelty against employees.

Help me understand this.

12 children in Rajasthan died because their cough syrups were contaminated with toxic DEG made by Kayson Pharma.

11 children died in Madhya Pradesh after consuming contaminated cough syrup made by Shreesan Pharma.

This was proven through lab testing by Madhya Pradesh (MP) and Tamil Nadu government labs.

But the Ministry of Health, India told people that the cough syrups were clean and then one mother who gave the cough syrup to her child in Rajasthan was jailed and a doctor who prescribed cough syrup in MP was arrested.

No one from the company that manufactured these killer syrups were arrested or jailed. One manufacturer, Kayson Pharma was already blacklisted in 2023 for poor quality drugs. Why were these reptiles led back into the contract?

If one of the children who died was that of some big business magnate who gave funds to political party in power, or belonged to a politician, the story would have been so much different right?

What kind of governance are we stuck with? A government that does not care for their children is a liability and a burden to citizens, not an ally and shield. India is turning to be the circus that the jokers who elected the jokers want it to be.

For the underprivileged, every new day feels like a bonus in this country,

கர்ணன் எப்போ கிருபாச்சாரியாரிடம் ‘தொழில் கற்றான்” ? மேட்டுக்குடிகளான அரசர்களின் குலத்தில் பிறந்தவர்களுக்கு கல்வி அளிப்பதில்லை என்பது பரசுராமரின் விரதம். அதனால் பொய்யைச் சொல்லி அவரிடம் திருட்டுத்தனமாகக் கல்வி கற்ற கர்ணனை அவர் சபித்தார். மற்றபடி கர்ணனும் துரோணாச்சாரியாரிடம் கல்வி கற்றவன் தான்.

இப்படி ஒரு விஷயமும் தெரியாமல் கல்வியில் சிறந்தது என்று சொல்வதுதான் ஆகப்பெரிய திரிபு.

மற்றபடி தமிழகத்தில் எக்காலத்திலும் யாருக்கும் கல்வி மறுக்கப்படவேயில்லை. தலை சிறந்த பொறியாளர்களையும் கல்வியில் சிறந்த புலவர்களையும் அறிவில் சிறந்த ஆசிரியர்களையும் தொடர்ந்து தமிழகம் உருவாக்கிக்கொண்டேதான் இருந்தது. படிக்க, அக்காலப் பள்ளிக்கூடங்களைப் பற்றி முதுமுனைவர் குடவாயில் பாலசுப்பிரமணியம் எழுதிய கட்டுரை.

Despite #CMDA operating a truck terminal in Madhavaram since 1992, lorry operators in George Town have refused to move out for 3 decades. They continue to ply in dangerously narrow lanes of Sowcarpet, Mannadi and Elephant Gate in peak hours affecting parents, school students, elderly. During emergency time, people cannot even step out as trucks take hours to load and unload parcels.

@Arattai Can you bring in features like reactions to messages, nicknames etc like we have in fb messenger. The current Arattai is not appealing

[Surya Ragupathy @imsuryaa]

@dpradhanbjp @Zoho @narendramodi @Arattai @svembu Few months back, Due to the buggy fb messenger, I was experimenting with various chat apps, including Arattai, for my group chat with my close friends. I didnt find it appealing as it lacked several feats which make a grp chat lively. Messenger is the best folld. by insta

For past few years, my Dio would refuse to start on rainy / cold mornings or if I leave it idle for couple of days. It was puzzling because I service my vehicle and change the air filter, spark plugs regularly. Now I understand that it is because of @nitin_gadkari 's E20 policy.

Look around carefully. There is a bomb ticking in every home, in every street, in every city. You may not see it, but you will soon feel its explosion.

All of us are watching what is happening in Nepal. A whole nation is burning. Who set it on fire? Gen Z.

They torched their own parliament, luxury hotels, shops, and streets. They chased politicians, beat them, and set fire to everything in sight. But pause for a second—whose country did they burn? Their own. Whose houses are reduced to ashes? Their own. Who will live in that destruction? They themselves.

Such is the wisdom level of this generation. And why did they do it? Because someone snatched away their favorite toy—social media.

Walk through your town or village. Do you see Gen Z with books in their hands? No. You only see them with phones, buried in reels, in endless comedy clips, body-shaming, brainless stand-ups, and shallow content. Thousands of hours of their lives wasted in consuming garbage, making celebrities out of nobodies.

Now imagine: when that toy is snatched away, how does a pampered child behave? The child screams, throws tantrums, rolls on the floor, kicks and cries—no matter where he is, whether in a temple, a garden, or a public place. Nothing matters until the toy is back in his hands. That is today’s Gen Z.

But who made them like this? Not just social media. We all did.

Parents pampered them. Society never set boundaries. Schools filled them with information but never with values. Governments allowed billionaires to make money off their addiction. Together, we raised a generation that is arrogant, angry, restless, with no patience, no respect, and no roots.

Our textbooks are museums of our past glory—but kids don’t live in that museum. They live in Instagram, YouTube, Netflix. They don’t wear our clothes. They don’t eat our food. They don’t visit our temples. They don’t read our authors. They don’t breathe our culture. They cheer for Hollywood, not for their own heritage. Their Aadhar card may say “Indian,” but in reality—what country do they belong to?

Ask yourself: if Instagram were a country, and your child had to choose citizenship—would he choose Bharat or Instagram? You know the answer.

From the day they are born, they are fed by hundreds of influences—pootanis in every form—phones, reels, ads, celebrities, fake idols. Did we ever try to save them? No. Instead, we stood aside and clapped while they grew into zombies—disconnected from their own people, their culture, their nation.

Gen Z has zero respect for their country, its monuments, its history, its festivals, its great people—even for their own parents. And they are not just “ out there.” They are in every house. They are in your neighbor’s house. They are in your house.

Nepal is not far away. Nepal is here. Inside your home. Inside your family. Inside your child. The time bomb is ticking.

How long will you wait before you act? How long before you wake up to the war that is already here—not with guns and tanks, but with phones, reels, and values destroyed?

The question is not whether Nepal can be saved. The question is—can you save your own home before it explodes?

@ravihanda @anand_srini @vinodsrinivasan I am hearing this from my friends as well. The great Tata group has lost its values after the demise of Mr Ratan Tata.
I am seeing the degradation in many places. It is sad that a great empire with impecaable values has been reduced to this.

With GST cuts fueling festive shopping, Amazon's Great Indian Festival (Sept 23) & Flipkart's Big Billion Days will flood the market with "no-cost" EMI deals.

Reality check: A ₹60,000 phone can cost ₹67,000+ on EMI—but some deals genuinely save money.

The devil's in the fine print.
