முழு சந்திர கிரகணத்துடனான எனது ஆத்மார்த்தமான சந்திப்பு

As the Moon’s surface quietly embraced Earth’s shadow, it wasn’t just a celestial body turning red — our souls were stirred, reminded of how tiny we are in the ever-expanding universe. In that fleeting alignment of Earth, Sun, and Moon, we glimpsed something timeless — not just a shadow, but a cosmic mirror reflecting the vastness beyond and within.

In that fleeting alignment of Earth, Sun, and Moon, we glimpsed something timeless — not just a shadow, but a cosmic mirror reflecting the vastness beyond and within.

Shadows that illuminate the soul

In that moment, I realized something deeper:

 In this universe, everything is connected.

Everything happens for a reason.

Everything depends on time… and time is eternal.

Atoms are everywhere — in the stars, in us, in the shadows.

வண்ண ஹோலியும் இந்திய ஒற்றுமையும்

இந்தியா ஒரு மதச்சார்பற்ற நாடு என்பது நாம் அனைவரும் அறிந்ததே. இந்தியாவில் நாம் மொழி, மதம், கலாச்சாரம் போன்றவற்றில் வேறுபட்டவர்கள். இந்த வேறுபாடுகள் இருந்தபோதிலும், நம்மிடையே ஒரு குறிப்பிடத்தக்க ஒற்றுமை உணர்வு நிலவுகிறது, அதனால்தான் இந்தியா வேற்றுமையில் ஒற்றுமையை வெளிப்படுத்தும் ஒரு தேசமாக உலகிற்கு முன் முன்வைக்கப்படுகிறது.

The colours of india

Holi is more than just a festival of colours. It’s a reflection of India’s true spirit is diversity, unity, and inclusivity. Just as no single colour alone can capture the vibrancy of Holi, no single faith, language, or ideology can define India. But what happens when those in power try to erase this diversity, favouring one shade while suppressing the rest? This article conveys the deeper meaning of Holi, the symbolism of our Tricolour, and why true democracy must embrace all voices, not just a chosen few. After all, a nation without its colours is just a blank canvas, and India was never meant to be colourless.

செயற்கை நுண்ணறிவும் மறதி நோயும்

இங்குள்ள ஆபத்து வெறும் தனிநபர் மறதி மட்டுமல்ல. பெரிய அளவிலான மக்கள் கேள்விகளுக்கு பதிலளிக்க, பிரச்சினைகளைத் தீர்க்க அல்லது முடிவுகளை எடுக்க AI-ஐச் சார்ந்து இருக்கும்போது, ஒட்டுமொத்த சமூகமும் படைப்பாற்றல், புதுமை மற்றும் நினைவாற்றல் திறன் குறைவதால் பாதிக்கப்படலாம்.

A visit to vedanthangal

What started as a hobby—capturing birds through my camera—soon turned into a profound journey of observation, patience, and learning. My recent visit to Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary was not just about photography; it was about immersing myself in nature’s rhythm.

Birdwatching isn’t just a pastime—it’s a way of reconnecting with the world beyond screens and schedules. It teaches us stillness, curiosity, and appreciation for the intricate balance of life. More importantly, it is something we must pass on to the next generation—to observe, to learn, and to cherish the wonders that exist all around us.

The AI Dilemma and Digital Amnesia

AI is transforming the way we access and process information. But is it also robbing us of something essential—our ability to think, remember, and solve problems independently?

In my latest article, I reflect on a conversation with my child that sparked a deep dive into the dangers of over-relying on AI and digital tools. Are we fostering a generation that’s losing its cognitive edge due to digital amnesia?
