I didn't want to talk. But I decided to. #FamilyMan a wonderful web-series & I loved it totally. But from the moment I saw #FamilyMan2 Trailer I'm really disturbed. The threat of this fictional story of LTTE - ISI tie-up taking on the Indian State will unfortunately result in (1)
branding Tamils as Anti-Nationals in the subliminal minds of the viewers. Therefore any reference of Tamil being spoken by alleged Terrorists in the fictional web-series is of grave concern. Initially I thought let it release & I will form an opinion, but repeated watch of (2)
#Familyman2Trailer gives clue about the plot beyond doubt & there's no necessity to wait for the full web-series to be out. I wish in the larger interest of our nation, references of #Tamils becoming Terrorists & taking on the Indian State is taken out, it not true as well. (3)
Some might not agree but conventional wisdom says India was safe until LTTE's dominance in Sri Lanka, now you know who infiltrated there. The very first comment of my grandfather after defeat of LTTE during 2009 final war "We are in serious trouble, China is coming there!" (4/4)

Tamil Nadu received: 86,55,010 vaccine (86 lakhs) (1)
TN received 78,49,780 vaccines till 21st May for 45+ Age group & 10,62,000 vaccines till 16th May for vaccinating 18-44 group.
#MaSubramanian conveniently brushed under the carpet the fact that TN has 2nd highest number of vaccines in its stock next only to Uttar Pradesh. (2)
Low vaccination in TN is not driven by vaccine shortages, as there is excess supply. On the other hand, though Gujarat received 1.62 crore vaccines till May 18, it has only 11,25,236 in stock. It means Gujarat is vaccinating at a faster pace & efficiently with less wastages. (3)

I wish MR Gandhi becomes MLA from Nagercoil MLA seat this election. It's will be one common dream accomplished for every Swayamsevak & Karyakarta from Tamil Nadu. #MRGandhiForNagercoil
In 1984 Assembly Elections of Tamil Nadu, same #MRGandhi contested as #BJP candidate from Colachel Assembly Seat & lost by meagre 589 votes. 37 years later, will Tamil Nadu see him as an MLA from Nagercoil? I'm sure we will. #MRGandhiForNagercoil

ONE year since #ArunJaitley Ji left us. How I wish we could have witnessed his eloquence in Article 370 & Ram Mandir? I grew up listening to his speeches & reading his wonderful writings. I'm sure he's out there showering his blessings to PM @narendramodi on all his endeavours.
Millions would have had the delight of reading @arunjaitley's blogs on current affairs. I'd the special privilege of translating his important blogs to #Tamil to take the message to the Tamils. It was a delight writing his blogs in Tamil. Sharing some of his exceptional writings.
Blog "The Compulsive Contrarian and his Manufactured Logic" was written by @arunjaitley sometime in January 2019. I thoroughly enjoyed writing this in Tamil.
