This was something my parents instilled in me at a young age. I grew up in the vibrant city of Chennai, India. It was a comfortable life for the most part, but in those early years, we had some challenges. We worried about severe drought and whether the water truck would arrive in time, and for us, technology came slowly. We had to wait years to get a telephone, a TV, a refrigerator. Each changed our lives in meaningful ways. My parents never let the constraints limit my imagination of what was possible. It's the reason I even let myself dream I could one day work in a faraway place called Silicon Valley.
When the call from Stanford came, my father spent the equivalent of a year's salary to buy my ticket - @sundarpichai

A remarkable creation by Radhakrishna Sthapathy, Srikanta Sthapathy, and Swaminatha Sthapathy of Swamimalai, sons of Devasenapathy Sthapathy, the master sculptor who created the magnificent Rishabadevar.

I waited for more than a year to publish the story. It finally appeared in The Hindu on the very day the statue was dispatched to Delhi to adorn the venue of the G20 Summit.

Radhakrishna Sthapathy giving the final touches to the statue. His presence beside it provides a sense of scale, revealing the sheer size of the mammoth sculpture.

This is shocking.
Just shared with Ms Kavitha Ramu IAS, former Director of museums until 3 months ago.
She is no longer in charge but is aware of this video

Now Brinda Devi is holding Additional charge.
This is a DISASTER waiting to happen.

During election results, watching TV felt like a dream. My wife hit my head asked, ‘Do you have knowledge’ My son said,‘You have no political knowledge at all.’My daughter said,‘If I were 18, I would’ve voted for #ThalapathyVijay and #TVK.’”

No one understood a composer's vision faster, and no one poured more focus into a song than SPB. Celebrating the life, friendship, and the unmatched achievement of 50,000 songs. Happy Birthday, SPB.

Agraharam

Agraharam, old time residential structures, where brahmins and scholars reside, by the village streets of South india, mainly in the vicinity of temple. For the purpose of temple management and to support vedic traditions, agraharam still shines despite evolution and modern structures.

Big win in SC against “stray dog menace.”

The Supreme Court today dismissed petitions seeking recall of its order to remove stray dogs from streets. Underlining citizens' right to live without threat, SC allowed authorities to carry out euthanasia of rabid and dangerous dogs to curb the threat to human life. 👍

" சித்திரைத் திருவிழாவின் முக்கிய நிகழ்வு, சித்திரை பௌர்ணமியன்று மதுரையில் வைகை ஆற்றில், அழகர் இறங்கும் வைபவம்.
பாமரரையும் பட்டணத்தில் உள்ளோரையும் பக்தியில் இணைக்கும் ஓர் உன்னதவிழா.
தவளையாக சாபம் பெற்ற மண்டூகமகரிஷிக்கு விமோசனம் கொடுக்க சுந்தரராஜப்பெருமாள், கள்ளழகர் வேடமிட்டுத் தங்கக்குதிரையில் வைகை ஆற்றில் எழுந்தருள, பக்தர்கள் காவல் தெய்வமான கருப்பசாமி வேடத்தில் இசைக்கேற்ப ஆடுவதும், தண்ணீர் பீய்ச்சி அடிப்பதும் காணக் கண்கொள்ளாக் காட்சி.
திருக்கண் எழுந்தருளலும், தெருதோறும் அன்னதானமும் மனதையும் வயிறையும் நிறைவு செய்யும்.
இவ்விழாவைக் கொண்டாடும் மதுரை மக்களை வாழ்த்துவதோடு, நல்லமழை பெய்து நானிலம் சிறக்க நானும் வேண்டுகிறேன்." - ராஜேந்திர விஸ்வநாத் அர்லேகர், தமிழ்நாடு ஆளுநர்

🤗 Have you ever wondered why we celebrate the birth of certain Tamil months exactly three weeks after the actual astronomical events?

We celebrate Chithirai 1, Aadi 1, Aippasi 1, and Thai 1 as rituals, but our ancestors were actually tracking the Sun's precise movement.

While we teach children that "the Sun rises in the East," the reality is that the sunrise point shifts from Northeast to Southeast in a year-long cycle.

Our festivals mark these four pillars:
🌻 Chithirai 1: The Sun is at "True East" (Equinox).
🌬️ Aadi 1: The Sun reaches the Northeast limit (Solstice).
🌨️ Aippasi 1: The Sun returns to the center, heading South.
🌞 Thai 1: The Sun reaches the Southeast limit (Solstice).

But here is the catch:👉 the actual astronomical Solstices and Equinoxes happen about 20 to 24 days before our festival dates. This isn’t a calculation error. It’s a deliberate observation of Nature’s Response Time.

Our ancestors knew this. When the Sun "turns" in the sky, it takes time for the winds to shift, the soil to warm, and the crops to ripen. They didn’t just celebrate a coordinate in the sky; they waited until that cosmic shift actually manifested as a tangible change on Earth.

Don't you think this as a truly high-level science behind our traditions?
😊👍
