Want to share a thirukkural today for my fellow tamilans
கூழுங் குடியும் ஒருங்கிழக்கும் கோல்கோடிச்
சூழாது செய்யும் அரசு.
அதிகாரம் - கொடுங்கோன்மை
குறள் 554.
Couplet 554 explanation:
The king, who, without reflecting (on its evil consequences), perverts justice, will lose at once both his wealth and his subjects.
"யார் சொல்லியிருந்தாலும், எங்கு படித்திருந்தாலும், நானே சொன்னாலும் உனது புத்திக்கும், பொது அறிவுக்கும். பொருந்தாத எதையும் நம்பாதே"
- தந்தை பெரியார்
Medias play important part in shaping the democracy. They should be unbiased, balanced and accurate, and should be in the best interest of people/public over personal interests.
Many Medias nowadays deviate far away from true journalism and take zero accountability for the damage being done. Especially social media platforms. Too many misinformation and sensationalization leading to social unrest and manipulation of the public.
Not good for a healthy democracy.

I use this to read textbooks in kindle 🙂
Bought 7 th gen pw used kindle in olx for a decent price. The condition was flawless. Almost. Except I had to struggle with power button every time using it. I guessed it would wear down if I continued to use it like that.
I bought a magnetic case from Amazon. Perfect fit and solved the problem. I never have to use the power button again.
Complex issue - simple solution 🙂
