Its #kapildev's birthday today and since there are so many new followers I wanted to share some stories. I like sharing feel good stories of people who always make me, and others feel good and Kapil Dev is one of them. For millions around the world, he is a living sports legend. For me he is my friend first. He has known me the longest amongst many of my friends.  Just a couple of days ago we were talking about Dharamendra and Ratan Tata, two legends in cinema and business. Kapil said they were good men who were loved for their generosity and kindness. Ratan Tata, Kapil said was incredibly patient and made you feel he had all the time in the world, to listen to you. "But you are the same way, Kapil", I said to him. I've been a recipient of that infinite patience and kindness through the years. When we met the first time, Kapil was already a super star and I a ro...

அந்த எம்.ஆர்.ஐ (MRI) ஸ்கேனைப் பார்த்தபோது, மருத்துவமனையின் ஏசி குளிரையும் மீறி என் முதுகுத்தண்டில் ஒரு நடுக்கம் பரவியது. அது கறுப்பு வெள்ளையில் அச்சிடப்பட்ட ஒரு மரண சாசனம். இந்த மருத்துவமனையில் என்னை ஒரு ஜாம்பவான் என்று சொல்வார்கள். என் பெயர் டாக்டர் சரவணன், ஓய்வு பெற்ற வாஸ்குலர் அறுவை சிகிச்சை நிபுணர். நாற்பது ஆண்டுகளை மனித உடல்களுக்குள்ளேயே கழித்தவன் நான். சென்னையின் தெருக்களை விட நம் உடலின் ரத்த நாளங்களின் வரைபடம் எனக்கு அத்தனை அக்குவேறாகத் தெரியும். துடிக்கும் இதயங்களை என் உள்ளங்கைகளில் தாங்கியிருக்கிறேன்; கூரை வரை பீய்ச்சி அடித்த ரத்தக் கசிவுகளைக் கட்டுப்படுத்தியிருக்கிறேன். ஆனால் அந்த ஸ்கேனைப் பார்த்தபோது, பல தசாப்தங்களில் முதல்முறையாக, நான் ஒரு மருத்துவனாக உணரவில்லை; ஒரு ஏமாற்றுக்காரனாக உணர்ந்தேன். நோயாளி கௌரி. வயது இருபத்தி ஆறு. மின்சாரக் கட்டணம் செலுத்தவே இரண்டு ஷிப்டுகள் வேலை செய்யும் ஒரு தனித்து வாழும் தாய். காபி ஊற்றிக் கொண்டிருந்தபோது அப்படியே சரிந்து விழுந்திருக்கிறாள். அவள் மூளையில் இருந்த அந்த ரத்த நாள வீக்கம் (Aneurysm) வெறும் ஒரு நோய் அல்ல; அது ஒரு அரக்கன். ஒரு மலைப்ப...

Decoding my dreams .. It is said and believed that our dreams are subconscious and sometimes acting out of free will but in other states like collective consciousness and superconsciousness it is very much the behaviour of individuals concerned depending upon their social economic and cultural upbringings . Without going deep into other aspects, I take my time to go fishing in my subconscious state . I had my dreams yesterday. So often than not I fail to bring words into to my dreams. But contrary to my belief I tried the inevitable by putting words into them today that is Wednesday December 2025 to put things in perspective so that readers might find some clues and suggest their views and expressions and experience as feedback to bring my narratives into meaningful conversation essential for meaningful life and existence as well . To start with I don't want to go elaborately about the dreams in general. If I try to do that then readers would be finding them as more of fiction with...

Hi all, All your stories have been received. We have started to read them.  The ranking will be by a panel of Judges drawn from various fields and sections of the society.  Totally ten judges. Each will read the stories independently. And give a score. The summation of each score for stories by all judges will decide the winners. All the judges are nominated and elected by AI and AI will award to score (by ten judges) based on the perception of each judge. Judges will not benchmark one story witj another. Each story will be critically seen by each judge without any benchmark with other stories. *** The Panel of Judges. 1. Judge A – Senior Literary Scholar (Age 62) A retired Tamil literature professor, specialising in modern Tamil short stories, comparative literature, and philosophical fiction. Prefers depth, metaphor, structure, and originality in theme. ⸻ 2. Judge B – Young Experimental Writer (Age 27) A contemporary fiction author who loves unconventional narrative forms, e...

🙏நற்காலை      வணக்கம்🙏             *விதை*   உங்கள் எண்ணங்கள் தான் உங்கள் வாழ்க்கையின் விதைகள்… முள்ளை விதைத்தால், ரோஜா மலராது… அதேபோல், எதிர்மறை எண்ணங்களை விதைத்துக்கொண்டே இருந்தால் வளர்ச்சி வராது. உங்கள் வாழ்க்கை வெளியில் என்ன நடக்கிறது என்பதைப் பார்க்கும் முன், உங்கள் உள்ளத்தில் என்ன விதைக்கிறீர்கள் என்பதைப் பாருங்கள். நம்பிக்கையை விதையுங்கள்… நன்றியுணர்வை வளர்த்திடுங்கள்… பின்பு.. உங்கள் வாழ்க்கை ஒரு அழகான பூந்தோட்டமாக மலரும்.  “உங்கள் உள்ளத் தோட்டத்தில் இன்று என்ன *விதைக்கிறீர்கள்?”*  அது தான் மலரும்... 🌹 இன்றைய நாள் இனிய நாளாக அமையட்டும் 🌹

She was drowning. And the world was still cheering. No one noticed the silence beneath the applause. No one… except one person. 💔 It was June 2022, at the World Championships in Budapest. American artistic swimmer Anita Álvarez had just finished a breathtaking routine — grace and control woven into water and light. But when the music stopped… she didn’t rise. Her body floated for a moment — still, suspended. Then it began to sink. Quietly. Slowly. Out of sight. The crowd kept clapping. Cameras kept rolling. No one saw her fading — except Andrea Fuentes, her coach. Andrea didn’t need to think. She felt it. She knew Anita’s rhythm, her limits, her breath. And without a word, she leapt into the water — clothes and all — diving deep, wrapping her arms around her unconscious swimmer, lifting her back to the surface. Back to air. Back to life. 🫶 Since then, I keep thinking — Who sees you when you start to sink behind your smile? Who would dive in for you, no hesitation, no wait...
