We are Tamilians…

Do NOT covet! 😎
If we see our neighbor living in a posh house that is grander than our own, would we be pining to somehow go and live there, or would we also look at the (hidden) advantages (and the moral pride) of one’s own home??

“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also”
When it comes to what you do, take wings! And when it comes to where you live, put down roots! ✌🏽

Tamilian/Indian – this our identity, whether we like it or not!
Whoever talks of “GOD’S will” and is ignorant of this, is truly an idiot.
