Kural

As a student in Chennai in the 70’s I used to travel by bus, and the Pallavan buses had these quotations from the Thirukural, by the Tamil Poet Valluvar. They were mounted inside the buses, just above the driver, and as most of the time you would be travelling standing, you could not help reading them. Most were unintelligible to me, considering my very basic Tamil knowledge. But this is one which I recall.





A very beautiful reminder on gratitude, while at the same time, exhorting one to forget the unpleasant immediately.
