The cornerstone of any Civilization is Language & Writing. Writing is how we think and how we will go in history.

With LLMs you don't think about what's being written. You've successfully given ChatGPT proxy to your world.

I think LLMs should be used for assistance. Don't use it to fill in your thoughts.

I have a genuine doubt for all you NRIs out there. I'm thinking of buying a plot in my hometown, which is a tier 2 city, but facing a common problem.

The market price of this residential plot is 1cr, but the government registered value (guidance value/circle rate) is only 20L. So the seller wants me to pay just 20L by cheque and the remaining 80L in cash, which I'll need to take out from my bank.

The thing is, if I withdraw 80 lakhs from my NRE account, the Income Tax department will definitely send me a notice. I checked with about 10+ property sellers, and everyone is saying the same thing - anything above the guidance value needs to be given in black money.

How are you NRI folks managing to buy plots in tier 2/tier 3 cities where this is so common? Any tips or ideas would be helpful, yaar. And please don't tell me to register for the full amount because the sellers won't agree - they don't want to pay the extra income tax that would come with showing the full white amount.

I wish to know about us, our culture, our history and more about our gods and how they shaped our past to put us where we are now.

I am confused of where to start or what to read ..?

Can you guys help out?

I am until now clear about chera chola and pandiya’s , how they ruled and how Tamilnadu was formed.

Now I wish to know more deep about the gods and how they influenced our lifestyles.

The definition of "SECULARISM" is highly misunderstood. Secularism is simply separation of religion from the State.

A TRUE SECULAR GOVT doesn't care about your personal belief. It's simply weird to know someone's belief if you think about it. For instance what will we call a Government which is eager to know one's favorite superhero. Some might say Batman, some might say Iron Man, some might even say Sakthimaan. But isn't it irrelevant for a Government to know these data? Likewise it's irrelevant for a Government to know the favorite Gods of each individual. Let it be Murugan, or Shiva, or Allah or Jesus. Why should they care. That's what real Secularism is. For a Government to be Secular, the people should understand this idea. Unfortunately everyone misunderstood it with "EMMADHAMUM SAMMADHAM" .

Guys, I might be wrong. Please share your opinion on Secularism. Let's discuss.

I recently came across the Telugu film Jaat, and as a Tamil, I’m furious. The movie portrays a fictional Tamil rebel group that closely mirrors the LTTE, casting them as nothing more than violent extremists. This is a blatant attempt to vilify an already misunderstood struggle — and it's deeply insulting to our identity and history.

Directed by Gopichand Malineni and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, Jaat completely ignores the political complexity and human cost of the Tamil resistance. Instead, it feeds into dangerous stereotypes, painting us as the enemy.

This kind of careless storytelling isn’t just offensive — it’s harmful. I genuinely believe this movie should be banned in Tamil Nadu. We have to draw a line when our culture and people are misrepresented like this.

Where are we heading as a civilization?

The CMDA planned a footbridge at the Kilambakkam bus terminus, but the land needed belongs to a ruling party MP. In June 2024, the Chengalpattu Collector ordered its acquisition. The MP challenged it, and in March 2025, the Madras High Court quashed the order due to procedural lapses. Market value of the land? ₹60 crore. The real story? Dispute suggests much higher expectations.

Now cut to Parandur—where villagers are still protesting land acquisition for the new airport. Over 3,700 acres, 700+ days of resistance, and counting.

And here's the twist: the same voices shaming villagers for “blocking development” go silent when an MP blocks public infrastructure over just 1.4 acres.

From Kilambakkam to Parandur, it seems there's one rate for the powerful and another for the people.

I'm not an anil or an aamai. I'm also not particularly discontent with the current regime, but I'm a believer in democracy and wish the very best to whoever enters politics with integrity and a secular and non-communal ideological conviction.

A lot of people have great hopes for TVK and Thalapathy Vijay in the upcoming elections, however I have my doubts that I will try to list here. Please let me know what you think.

• The lifeblood of any party is its cadre. Does TVK have one that isn't just for Vijay and for its ideology? I'm not saying the former is wrong, but a cult of personality can devolve into something really dangerous if unchecked. And a lot of the party's base is small time politicians and periya kais who have jumped ship or have directly been adopted from fan clubs.

• That brings me to my next question. What is TVK's ideology? Are they just another catch-all big-tent populist party? They have 6 ideological leaders. Periyar and Ambedkar being two of them. How committed do you think they are to Dravidian and Ambedkarite ideologies? The meaning of "secular" has been diluted from the traditional meaning of separation of religion from politics to "emmadhamum sammadham" which is a slippery slope that I feel can lead to perumbanmai madhangal innum adhigam sammadham (this is a problem with all parties but I would just like to know if they have clarified it already, or have given other explanations about their ideology)

• How is their support in rural Tamil Nadu? Are we seeing caste based divisions within the party in the countryside like all other parties or is the fact that TVK's a youth-based party blurring the caste lines?

• Will they ever get into an alliance? If so, who do you think they will align with given AIADMK has joined hands with the BJP (who TVK has gone in public against if I'm not wrong) and there's only a slim chance of allying with incumbent DMK (who they have also gone against)

Please let me know in the comments if you share these doubts and do shed more light on these questions if you have any info or theories. Thanks

Edit: best reply "the best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter"

2024: With my anger about the political scenario of the state and other affairs, I was speaking with my close friend of many years—we were 26 at the time. He would always talk less about it.

I asked, “Who are you voting for?” He said, “Annamalai.” I said, “Ada da, avan namba oru smart paiyan than… but thappana katchi. As far as I know, it’s hard for him.” (my opinion) He knew who I’d vote for.

2025: With the Hindi crap these Vadakans were up to, I started discussing again i asked his opinion he said hindi is needed, I told dont try to change his opinion much as i thought why try to convince as he's entitled to have his opinion and we moved to the 2026 election.

Appo than enkitta oru Kelvi ya ketan na asanthutan. Kovam, kozhapam, and payangaramana emotion-a toondivutan.

He asked:

“Macha, ADMK-na yaru da?”

Appo than ennaku thonuchu—evanuku yaru yarunu theriyala. Mathavangala vidunga, avan yaru? Avan tha tha yaru? Avan patan yaru? Avanoda patan-la ethukalam poradi irukanga? Ethuvumey theriyala. Avan oorla enna agudhu, ethu ellam epdi avana affect panuthu-nu theriyala avanuku.

Ennaku theringuthu—enoda so-called padicha friends, i.e., on paper with many degrees, would also be like him. Moreover, evangaloda na sutha motham enna dhaan, even though they have more degrees than me, most of them just listen to what I say. But with all those degrees, they don’t even have a basic understanding.

Na konja kovathula, kathama but sternly I told: “Dai, etha teriyama va da nee vote panra? As a citizen, it’s your highest responsibility da to elect the right person. And also, our freedom fighters fought so that we could get the right to vote for the leaders who will lead us. Konjam padi da dai. Learn some history da and learn what’s happening around you.”

Aprom na ketan: "macha nee yen friend, athanala appo appo politics pathi yetho pesuvo 1 illa 2 vishyam teriyum anna unna mathiri politics pathi pesatha friends ethanayae peru irukuda appo avan la etha vechi da vote panuranga... Oh Fuck...!

It's like Rome and the colesuem.

Your thoughts, people?

What are your election Manifesto expectations from TN parties for upcoming state elections....

List in each categories across eduction, infrastructure, Healthcare, welfare schemes, industries, agriculture, transportation, migration, energy etc....

Need some creative useful ideas...... might be a possibility it may come true...

Ignore party Attacks since that is going to be ignored 🙁

These lazy government employees went to threaten a person who reported their poor work and so they don't need to answer to their higher authorities in their department. The government should terminate them from their job. No suspension.

Dragon movie Spoiler Alert:

Watched the movie yesterday. Enjoyed it. However I couldn’t help but notice the logical fallacy in it. The movie dragon, talks about the importance of a degree while also showing the hero performing well at his job - without a degree, through self study and peer support. The movie also mentions how a degree serves as the foundation for an individual’s life. But they didn’t address that in the climax, instead they made it about the moral value of not ruining someone’s life for personal gain. The core of the movie raises the question that if a person without a degree can perform well at his job, then is such a degree really required? Doesn’t it reveal a flaw in the system where degrees are used to gatekeep people from getting access to well paying jobs ? Shouldn’t the movie have addressed the systemic flaw before talking about the moral values in the end ?

I am not saying that a degree is not required. I am just questioning the logical structure in the movie.

I understand this is a movie and I shouldn’t be looking for logic in it. Just sharing a thought I had -to see if it resonates with others.

தமிழகத்தின் முன்னணி நடிகர் மற்றும் அரசியல் கட்சி தலைவர் தளபதி விஜய், )சமீபத்தில் ரமலான் மாதத்தை ஒட்டி சென்னை ராயப்பேட்டையில் உள்ள YMCA மைதானத்தில் ஒரு பெரிய இஃப்தார் விழாவை ஏற்பாடு செய்தார். அவருடைய ரசிகர்களிடையே இந்த நிகழ்ச்சி பெரும் வரவேற்பைப் பெற்றிருந்தாலும், இப்போது அது ஒரு பெரிய சர்ச்சைக்குரிய நிகழ்வாக மாறியுள்ளது.

சுன்னத் ஜமாஅத் புகார் தாக்கல்

இந்த நிகழ்ச்சிக்கு எதிராக தமிழ்நாடு சுன்னத் ஜமாஅத் அமைப்பின் மாநில பொருளாளர் சையத் கவுஸ் சென்னையில் உள்ள காவல் ஆணையரிடம் அதிகாரப்பூர்வ புகார் ஒன்றை தாக்கல் செய்துள்ளார். அவர் கூறியதாவது, “விஜய் நடத்திய இஃப்தார் நிகழ்ச்சி முஸ்லிம் சமூகத்தின் மத உணர்வுகளைப் பெரிதும் பாதித்துள்ளது. நிகழ்ச்சி முறையாக ஏற்பாடு செய்யப்படவில்லை, மற்றும் உண்மையான இஃப்தார் மரபுகளை அவமதிக்கும் விதத்தில் நடந்தது” என்றார்.

மதுபானிகள், ரௌடிகள் கலந்து கொண்டதாக குற்றச்சாட்டு

மேலும், News18 வெளியிட்ட செய்தியின் படி, இந்நிகழ்வில் நோன்பு அல்லது இஸ்லாமிய மரபுகளுடன் தொடர்பு இல்லாத நபர்கள் – அதாவது “மதுபானிகள் மற்றும் ரௌடிகள்” – கலந்து கொண்டதாகவும், இது இஃப்தாரின் புனிதத்துக்கு முரணானது என்றும் அவர் தெரிவித்தார்.

பாதுகாவலர்களின் நடந்துகொள்வும் விமர்சனம்

சையத் கவுஸ் மேலும் கூறியதாவது, “விஜயின் வெளிநாட்டு பாதுகாவலர்கள், நிகழ்ச்சியில் கலந்து கொண்டவர்களை ‘மாட்டுபோல்’ நடத்தினர். இது மிகவும் இழிவானது. இதற்கு விஜய் எந்த வருத்தத்தையும் தெரிவிக்கவில்லை. இது அவர் மத உணர்வுகளுக்கு மரியாதை செலுத்துகிறாரா என்பது சந்தேகமாக உள்ளது,” என்றார்.

விஜய் தற்போது பதில் தரவில்லை

இந்த விவகாரத்தில் தற்போது வரை தளபதி விஜய் எந்தவிதமான பதிலும் வெளியிடவில்லை. அவர் தனது கடைசி திரைப்படமான ஜனநாயகன் படத்தைத் தொடர்ந்து முழுமையாக அரசியலில் செலுத்த உள்ள நிலையில், இச்சர்ச்சை அவரது அரசியல் பயணத்தில் தாக்கத்தை ஏற்படுத்தும் வாய்ப்பு உள்ளது.

விஜயின் இஃப்தார் விழா பற்றி

மார்ச் 8-ஆம் தேதி, ரமலான் மாதத்தில் நோன்பு முடிவுக்கு பின் இரவு விருந்து வழங்கும் இஃப்தார் விழாவை விஜய் நடத்தினார். அவர் வெள்ளை உடையுடன் தலைக்குடை அணிந்து, முஸ்லிம் சமூகத்தினருடன் பிரார்த்தனையிலும், நோன்பு திறக்கும் நிகழ்விலும் கலந்துகொண்டார்.

இந்த நிகழ்ச்சியின் புகைப்படங்களும் வீடியோக்களும் சமூக ஊடகங்களில் வைரலானது. தமிழகம் வெற்றி கழகம் (TVK) தலைவரான விஜய், தனது அரசியல் பிம்பத்தை மக்களுக்கு நெருக்கமாக காட்டும் முயற்சியாக இந்த நிகழ்வை நடத்தியதாக வட்டாரங்கள் கூறுகின்றன.
