I have been writing till now, like a very studious guy, about stuff related to career.So thought why not write about something different.That is when I stumbled upon a very famous name,the one of “Thiruvalluvar”.So am gonna dedicate this post to the man who has touched our lives.The next paragraph is not for the feeble minded,nor is it for the perennial backbenchers (Personally,I would skip ). Google search on thiruvalluvar got me this.It is pure crap.
A genius,indeed.He was born 30 years before Jesus Christ.He is world famous for his thirukural.Thirukkural is the masterpiece of Tamil literature with the highest and purest expressions of human thought. It is written in the form of couplets (two line poems) expounding various aspects of life.It contains 1330 couplets, divided into 133 chapters of 10 couplets each.The Tamil Calendar is dated from that period and referred as Thiruvalluvar Aandu (Year). We find Thiruvalluvar as a moral philosopher, political scientist and master of public administration in the first two parts of Thirukkural.We find him to be a creative artist in the third part, depicting the fascinating aspects of lovers.
Now that I have told you who he is and what he has done,now I will tell you why he and his birthday are so very important.The day he was born is cursed,only in Tamil Nadu.Few might ask why.It is because,it is the only day of the year when all shops are open while the liqour shops and bars around the city are closed.It is even more irritating when that bad day falls on a saturday.It comes as a rude shock to people,who in their own words,toiled hard through the week and were looking forward to unwind on saturday night.
The actual problem is that nobody is warned about the bad day.Indians are known to be great planners. ( the worst implementers,though). If only had they been informed a day or two in advance, all this confusion and resulting frustration could have been got away with.I am amazed that,even Deccan Chronicle, a paper which reports crap from distant lands, I remember recently reading an article about the relationship between Sania Mirza and Irfan Pathan ,forgot to warn us about this day.So,to all dudes and dudettes,let me make it very clear,Thiruvalluvar was born on 11th Feb.*** Please donot forget Alcohol is injurious to health.(I can hear a very loud chorus “Well,who the hell cares????”)
