Thirukkural - in my view this literary marvel is equivalent to the modern day twitter. In just 7 words each kural contains a broad or a deep meaning. To say the meanings are relevant to even modern life, is just a label more than anything. One should live these verses one day each to appreciate deeper and to have a good life.
It's my attempt at one such verse here and hope to transliterate a few in my life time here or somewhere.
An arrow though straight is still cruel. Though the harp isn't straight its harmless. One can understand the nature of people only by their behaviour never by how they appear.
