"If it is true that liberal education should "liberate" by demonstrating the cultural values and norms foreign to us, by revealing the relativity of our own values, then the "discovery" and enjoyment of Tamil literature, and even its teaching should find its place in the systems of Western training and instruction in the humanities." - Kamil Zvelebil in his book, The Smile of Murugan , The Tamil literature of South India

What tree is it, my friend - Ainkurunooru 201

 

Image: Thanks to internet
Long live mother! Give ears! 
Golden buds bloom like gems
The leaves my lover donned
Also served me to dress
The tree growing in his slopes
What tree is it, my friend!
