Family relationships are dwindling in our modern age. The days of each family having more than 15 people are long gone. Today, we use phrases like nuclear family, joint family, and more. A husband and wife is itself a family in some places. Children find it increasingly difficult to live with their parents as they get older or after getting married. "PRIVACY" has gained more significance. Adaptation and sacrifice are no longer common words in dictionaries. People today don't want anyone to bother them, ask them questions, or be involved in their decisions. In this digital era where mobile phones are our world, how about traveling to 50 years go? How would it be like to look at how our ancestors lived together as a family?   Most people will grumble about their relatives if you question them about them. My relatives are selfish, envious, and jealous, among other negative traits. These would be typical claims. If we consider things more broadly, we can see that ...

One of the greatest wonders of the earth is the sea. It never ceases to astound us. It has a fantastic history. The story of Thanneer Desam is all about a couple who get lost in the middle of an ocean. It is not a typical novel. This novel is unique because of the extraordinary vocabulary and grammar used by the author, Vairamuthu. It is a tale written entirely in Tamil and contains a wealth of information on the sea and water sciences. Water is of utmost importance for sustaining life on Earth. It plays a vital role in various aspects of our existence, from supporting the functioning of our bodies to ensuring the health and productivity of ecosystems. Water is essential for human survival. Our bodies are made up of approximately 60% water, and we require an adequate intake of water to maintain bodily functions. We barely survive for three to four days without water. In the book, Variamuthu introduces us to a young couple, Kalaivannan and Tamizh Roja, who are incredibly in love w...

As A.A. Milne pointed out, sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our hearts . We will begin to realise how big the world is when we begin to notice the simple things around us. Humans are social creatures. One can't survive on one's own. Society as a whole survives. Therefore, it is more crucial to know about today's society. The author Raju Murugan discusses his experiences with his society in his novel Vattiyum Mudhalum.

This book is a collection of these things that we already know but have neglected to take into consideration . Everyone has the potential to teach us something. The crucial thing is that we should be ready and wil...

     LOVE - What a wonderful word! When we hear this word, it evokes a variety of emotions in us. It might be one of our most beautiful moments, one of our unfulfilled recollections, or something else entirely. It varies from one person to the next. Consider a circumstance in which you adore someone and devote all of your time and affection to them. However, the same person is unconcerned about you. Any effort you make goes in vain. How does it feel? Being rejected by love is one of the most painful feelings a person can experience. As a result, it causes a slew of mental issues such as despair, rage, stress, and more. This applies to many parts of our lives, not just relationships. What can be done about it? How can we increase our happiness? Is there any solution?      Yes. There are various options, and Shwetabh Gangwar discusses them all in detail in his book "The Rudest Book Ever". As the title suggests, this book is rude where the author addresses e...
