One of my good picks in this ongoing The Famous Jan Chennai Maga Book 📚 Fair is
Yes words are so powerful - they can make or Mar. Saint Valluvar in His Master Treatise, திருக்குறள் was so emphatic on saying only good things and saying preferably euphemistically. Sample:
இனிய உளவாக இன்னாத கூறல்
கனிஇருப்பக் காய்கவர்ந் தற்று.
The Author of this nice gem liberally uses Saint's couplets in right contexts across the book. She just doesn't confine to Kural only. She quotes from Hindu Epics, western literatures and interlaces striking short stories. All to stress why to speak only positives.
One excerpt to show why it makes the must read and must adhere to:
"வார்த்தை பலிக்குமா என்றால் நான் ஏதோ ஒரு ஆத்திரத்தில் சொன்னேன் பலித்து விட்டதே என்று புலம்பும் நிலையில் இருப்பவருக்குத் தெரியும் அது உண்மை தான் என்று."
So good is this 📚 book and my current read. I'm just midway....can vouch how it impacts. I can feel, there's a consciousness, a sort of measure before words popping out from me.
The contents are in 151 pages and 16 chapters.
Deserves deep and meticulous reading. Would highly recommend.
Happy reading.
