To think critically, you need clarity on 2 things:
1. What you know,
2. What you do not know.-
To walk the path of zero assumption, to live with a philosophy that assumes nothing is the way of the intelligence that can confront anything. To me, this is real purity. This is true enlightenment. This is the one and only ideal worth striving for.

cold breeze of winter morning.
The frost left nothing behind,
be it the dead and living.
Days are short lived
and darkness lasted longer.
North winds and wolves howled,
Sending chill down the spine.
However, not all is lost.
The wise knows that nothing
lasts forever, be it happines,
Misery or this winter,
Making one hope for Summer-
The time for palm fruits,
Water melon, lakes and beaches.
At this dawn of April,
I hope that my humble wisdom
helps you pull through this desolate winter.-

மான்டிஸ் ஷிரிம்பால் கிரஹிக்க முடியாத வண்ணங்கள் கொண்டவளே,
இன்று போல் எப்போதும் சிரித்துக்கொண்டே இரு.
கருப்பு வெள்ளை வண்ணங்களில் இயங்கிய என் மூளைக்கு இவ்வாழ்வு தர்க்கமுறைக்கு அப்பாற்பட்டது என்று உணர வைத்ததற்கு நன்றி,
இது என் வாழ்வினை உயிரோட்டமாக்கியது.

Velliangiri trek:
Known for it's arduous long trek, The velliangiri hills is no place for sick people. Those 7 hills demand both physical and mental strength. I trekked there for the 2nd time. This time, I decided to try my luck without a stick to rely on. The climb wasn't particularly challenging as I am working out regularly without missing out on breathing exercises. It was easier than the first time. Once I made past the deities at the top of the mountain, it is time to settle there for a brief break. However, the strong gush of cold gale surprised me and honestly, it kinda terrified me. The warm sun in the afternoon didn't provide make it much better. It wouldn't bother me but this time, I am depleted of energy and could do nothing but wait it out.-

A meme is an idea that is shared among a community of people by means of imitation that represents a particular thing. Just like genes, memes are transferred from person to person except that it happens mentally.
Eg: Belief in God, the idea of science being cool etc.
Once you see the definition, you understand that a meme can travel faster, further and more efficiently than gene. There's so much potential in a meme that it single-handedly made human beings the most powerful creature on the planet for it enabled cooperation even among race of people who do not speak the same language.
If there are no memes, we are no different from Chimpanzees or the Baboons.-
