The affinity for our Mother Language is nothing but natural, so has been my passion to attempt some write ups, about travels and the persons whom I adore.Even a few poems, of course not worthy to fit into the genre; yet the simple joy in venturing is fascinating.
Now it is a million dollar question as how, all of a sudden developed my intimacy, right phrase to use, with the poems of Virtues in our language, especially the Eladhi, Naladiar, Moodurai, Thirukural, Aathisudi, Kondraivendhan, Purananuru, Ulaganeedhi and so on.
The Ulaganeedhi of Ulaganthar of the Eighteenth century, beginning with Odhamal Orunalum Irukka Vendam, is simply amazing, sounding rhythmic and musical. It may seem funny and even weird! Enamoured by its beauty and the universal ethical values of its content in single lines of what not to be done, started memorizing it. The confidence and energy levels seem to have been boosted, discovering the ability to memorise texts at this age of early sixties. Yet forgetfulness in simple tasks on a daily basis is an irony! May be they are too mundane to gain the attention and focus! They may be sharpened with this latest skill.
What a Devine Language is our Tamil and indeed, we are a blessed race !
