Book cover for நிலம் பூத்து மலர்ந்த நாள் [Nilam Poothu Malarntha Naal]
2005 இல் தான் கொற்றவை என்ற பெயரில் ஒரு தமிழ் நாவல் எழுதினேன். கொற்றவை என்ற பெயர் மட்டுமே அதன்  தொடக்கமாக என்  கையிலிருந்தது.  “மாமகளும் நாமகளும் மாமயிடன் செற்றுகந்த கோமளும் தான் படைத்த கொற்றத்தாள்” என்று கண்ணகியை இளங்கோ வாழ்த்துகிறார். ...more

Rhonda Byrne
“If you are not grateful for your job, you will automatically give less. When you give less you decrease what comes back to you, and as a result, you will never be happy in your work, you will never give more than you have to, and your job or work will stagnate and eventually deteriorate, which could mean losing your job. Remember, for those who do not have gratitude, even what they have will be taken from them.”
Rhonda Byrne, The Magic

Arvind Krishna Mehrotra
“Though the wide world’s filled With beautiful women, Her left side compares Only with her right.”
Arvind Krishna Mehrotra, The Absent Traveller: Prakrit Love Poetry from the Gathasaptasati of Satavahana Hala

“2005 இல் தான் கொற்றவை என்ற பெயரில் ஒரு தமிழ் நாவல் எழுதினேன். கொற்றவை என்ற பெயர் மட்டுமே அதன்  தொடக்கமாக என்  கையிலிருந்தது. “மாமகளும் நாமகளும் மாமயிடன் செற்றுகந்த கோமளும் தான் படைத்த கொற்றத்தாள்” என்று கண்ணகியை இளங்கோ வாழ்த்துகிறார். கடைசியில் அந்த வரிகளைச் சென்றடைந்தேன். தியானிக்கத் தியானிக்க மேலதிக அர்த்தங்கள் பெருகி வந்த வார்த்தையது. கொற்றம் என்றால் அரசு என்றும் போர்வீரம் என்றும் அர்த்தமுண்டு. கொற்றவை என்றால் அரசி என்றும் போர்த்தெய்வம் என்றும் தமிழ் சொல்கிறது. தமிழ்க் கலாச்சாரத்தின் சாரமாக ஒற்றை வார்த்தையில் ‘கொற்றவை’ என்று சொல்லலாமெனத் தோன்றியது.”
Manoj Kuroor, நிலம் பூத்து மலர்ந்த நாள் [Nilam Poothu Malarntha Naal]

“Let’s say that your significant other has been paying less and less attention to you. You realize he or she has a busy job, but you still would like more time together. You drop a few hints about the issue, but your loved one doesn’t handle it well. You decide not to put on added pressure, so you clam up. Of course, since you’re not all that happy with the arrangement, your displeasure now comes out through an occasional sarcastic remark. “Another late night, huh? I’ve got Facebook friends I see more often.” Unfortunately (and here’s where the problem becomes self-defeating), the more you snip and snap, the less your loved one wants to be around you. So your significant other spends even less time with you, you become even more upset, and the spiral continues. Your behavior is now actually creating the very thing you didn’t want in the first place. You’re caught in an unhealthy, self-defeating loop.”
Kerry Patterson, Crucial Conversations Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High

George Lakoff
“The essence of metaphor is understanding and experiencing one kind of thing in terms of another.”
George Lakoff, Metaphors We Live By
