Chapter 4: Life is tough, but it’s tougher when you’re stupid

The school in which I studied was closed before the year completed, the Principal of that school using his influence pulled in a bigger school to start a new school and to take up all the students. Thus a new school was opened in Nanganallur by the name of Besant L.V.R. This period is very [...]

Why animals are no different than humans

Recently in an Orkut community I came across a thread raising doubt about Manu Needhi Cholan’s act on whether it is a fiction or truth. The intention of the person who raised this query is not to be critical or sarcastic, so I am putting this efforts to try and answer the question.

Chapter 3: “All good things must come to an end, but all bad things can continue forever.”

Like the title says.. the bad things continued and I don’t want to dwell too much about those bad things. We moved to a new location in Chennai (Nanganallur). This move helped me a bit, as my parents will not say ‘no’ if I go to a temple and Nanganallur had quite a few Shiva [...]

  • Money the mother of all evil

    Money, what a beautiful thing? Ugly as well. Ugly??? I got to be kidding.  No. It is not just Ugly, but it is the mother of all evils. I may sound philosophical. What good it is being philosophical if there is no rationale behind your words? My view is completely rational as well. How?
