Is it ok to do anything, if it helps atleast 4 people!!

Some time back , one of the hit Tamil movies, carried a dialogue that goes .."If what you do benefits atleast 4 people around you kindly carry on that work.." justifying all  criminal and anti-social activities like smuggling. In this garb, of delusion you can include every conceivable anti-national , anti-social activity since in any case atleast few people who support these rubbish causes out of personal grudge or grudge against a nation or society will be benefited. I am hearing somebody crying aloud " .. but at what cost or whose cost". Simply this larger question remains unanswered as it provokes awkward and embarrassing introspection for these criminals.

Guided by self proclaimed righteousness the hero of the movie carries out his God father like mafia role with impunity.

Few days back a tamil scholar wearing a dhoti was taking Thirukkural classes to the children of the middle school. He explained at great length the following thirukkural

"ஈன்றாள் பசி காண்பாள் ஆயினும், செய்யற்க சான்றோர் பழித்த வினை" Explanation: "Even if one's mother is struck by hunger due to poverty, one must not do such acts which the wise would treat with contempt".

This aphorism exhorts a person to walk the path of righteousness even in dire straits.

This entirely contradicts the Tamil movie dialogue which shows the path of expediency. This path will lead the entire society to its doomsday. Thirukkural shows the way of building tomorrow's world and society. Great nations are built on sacrifices and certainly not on personal gains with criminal motives.

Why Indian Rupee is falling steeply against US dollar?

  The Indian Rupee recently crossed the 97 mark against the US Dollar, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. If you've been tracking exchange rates or planning a trip abroad, you've probably felt the pinch. Everything from imported electronics to cooking oil is getting more expensive. And your money just doesn't stretch as far as it used to. This isn't a one-day blip. The rupee has been on a steady downward slide for months, and the reasons go deeper than most headlines suggest. It's a mix of what's happening inside India's economy and what's happening across the globe. Trade deficits, foreign investors pulling out money, rising oil prices, the US Federal Reserve keeping interest rates high — all of these are pulling the rupee in the wrong direction at the same time. In this post, we'll break down the key domestic pressures weighing on the rupee and the global forces making the US Dollar stronger. We'll also look at what the Reserve Bank ...

India's Semiconductor play-now only semi-final!

India's Semiconductor Manufacturing in 2026–2030: PLI Impact, Global Standing, and AI-Era Policy Needs How India's PLI scheme is building semiconductor capacity, what it means for global supply chains, and what government must do next as AI demand reshapes the industry. 14 min read Modern semiconductor fab with Indian innovation flags and growth trajectory Semiconductors-Policy in India India's PLI scheme commits $10 billion to build semiconductor manufacturing capacity over 5 years, with TATA and Micron fab projects expected to deliver 1–2 million wafers monthly by 2027. By 2030, India could claim 2–3% of global semiconductor production - a major jump from today's <1%, though still far behind Taiwan and South Korea. Geopolitically, this matters: as supply chains de-risk away from Taiwan and China, India becomes a critical third hub for mature-node and memory-chip manufacturing. However, success hinges on three critical gaps the government must address. First...

Hanuman and Ganesha!

  The two major loved deities of the Hindu pantheon are Hanuman and Ganesha. Let us dwell into the concepts and significance of these two dieties. Ganesha, the son of Parvati and Shiv, is worshipped first before starting any new job or work. Even if you want to start writing or reading , you invoke the blessings of Lord Ganesha who goes under various names- Ganapathi, Vigneshwar, Vinayak, and  Pillayar in Tamilnadu. Ganesha Gayathri, Pancharatnam are some of the important Ganesha mantras and hymns. Adi Ganesha idol is in a Temple near Tiruvarur in Tamilnadu with a human face.The mythological story says that Shiv slew His head and then fixed the head of the animal that He saw first after this beheading of His son. Ganesha after that with the elephant head is worshipped as the wisdom god by Hindus. Why only Hindus. He is worshipped in Indonesia where He finds Himself in their currency notes. He is considered the destroyer of evil in Japan. In Mexico, Ganesha idols were said to h...
