Great souls are often defined by their humility. And the world basks in the glow of their achievements. Excellent write. Warm regards, Sandra

Thirukural will reach newage youth Maybe become a rap too If you continue with the rest Complete the whole and make a CD Definitely it would take them To practice tapping to its tune! Really, think about it - a complete translation Nothing beyond you, I know! Angel

Enjoyed the comparison between the two qualities; one which absorbs the light around, and one which re-emits it..(smile)
