Is all the time and space
Unfolding before my eyes,
An illusion created by my mind?
If it's the mind's illusion,
Is this wondrous, vast world all false?
Is it right that our life on Earth
Is lived by believing falsehoods as truth?
Is all the time and space
Unfolding before my eyes,
An illusion created by my mind?
As new technologies are introduced from time to time, new environmental activists emerge on social media. AI consumes a large amount of electricity. As this electricity is generated by burning fuels like coal, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases. In this manner, many begin to raise their voices. Their activism is commendable. However, their claims of intending to reduce the use of these technologies are hypocritical. They will certainly not refrain from using its benefits. If preventing environmental damage is their primary objective, then what they should do is reject all the following technologies.
Avoid using refrigerators. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) used in refrigerators deplete the ozone layer and generate excessive heat. They also consume a lot of electricity from fuels like coal, thereby sending more carbon into the atmosphere. Furthermore, when they are not properly recycled, the toxic substances within them mix with soil and air, causing pollution.
My novel, 'Kudivaravaalan,' has been translated into English by writer Latha Ramakrishnan as 'An Immigrant.' You can read it on the Noolaham website. I recently came across some information about this novel during a Google search: Dr. P. Muthulakshmi, an Assistant Professor from Tamil Nadu, presented an English critical analysis of this novel at an international literary conference. The title of her research paper is 'Ethnic Conflict in V.N. Giritharan’s An Immigrant.'
It is also noteworthy that Dr. Dharani Akhil has previously written two English research papers about this novel. The details are as follows:
In Minneapolis, U.S. President Donald Trump's oppression against immigrants continues. The rampage of his ICE agenst continues. Without any humanity, they continue to shamefully arrest women, the elderly, and children, and to use excessive force against them.
In one such instance, one of the aforementioned ICE agents pushes a woman onto the roadside. Following him, several more ICE agents rush to assist, like hunting dogs. Alex Pretti, a white male nurse, runs to save that innocent woman. Although he had a legal firearm at his waist, he does not attempt to use it under any circumstance. As soon as one of the ICE agents sees it and takes it, Alex Pretti is shot and killed.
Let us salute for Alex Pretti's humanitarianism.

The Jaffna 'Manthirimani' building, which was already in a state of disrepair due to insufficient maintenance, has suffered further damage from recent heavy rains. These visuals reveal its condition. We had the power to prevent this situation from befalling 'Manthirimani', but we failed to act. This is regrettable.
Buildings need to be preserved for many reasons. As structures belonging to a specific period, as expressions of architectural styles, as they are connected to historical events, and as the historical identity of a race – buildings must be preserved. In that sense, all these reasons apply to Manthirimani.
The architectural features of this building include both Dravidian and European architectural elements, the building materials used, and the period in which it was built. All these factors emphasize the necessity for this building to be considered and maintained as a historical monument. According to information on the facade of this building, it was constructed in 1890.
It is said that there was an underground passage belonging to this building, which has now been closed off. Further research on this should be conducted.
The land on which this building is located is named 'Sangilithoppu'. I observed this when examining the land survey department maps for this area. The fact that the land where this building stands is named Sangilithoppu and the building itself is called Manthirimani highlights its historical significance. Given the proximity to other historically important areas like Pandarakkulam, Sangiliyan Street, and Arasakesari Valavu, it appears to me that the area where this building is located must have held significance during the Tamil Kings' era in the following ways:
