Better to stay in touch with one’s roots (home culture, social network, local issues, etc.), unless there are exceptional problems with that.
– Keep distance, be active AND stay in touch!

– Tamil Nadu Day – Nov. 1!
We are Tamilians…
so let us live (settle down & engage locally as permanent native residents) in Tamil Nadu, unless there is an exceptional situation, which forces us to flee elsewhere

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??
“Home is where the heart is”
“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.
And whoever lives as if such matters are unimportant, and pursue economic gains as the sole value, are nothing but spineless mercenaries……
Let not our children suffer an identity crisis/vacuum, because of our short-sightedness.

How does one (ethically) relate one’s own cultural/political identity and this globalized/capitalistic world?

– Dream:
I am in a shady & posh office space, meeting a mysterious & charismatic man. It seems like he has many people working there (“for him”?), and I don’t know why I am there. Does he want me to use my (formidable) intellect for his vague (?sinister) project… Is he the Devil himself attempting to strike a deal with me, on the sale of my soul?
