![]() After all, of what use is it? We want to learn, get good marks, find a good IT job, go to USA either for studies or for work, earn money, get married, and get settled. ![]() When we were young (especially around high school or college time, when you become aware of other cultures and start questioning your own), we used to despise having to learn திருக்குறள் ( Thirukkural) by heart. The broader word வினை (vinai) then goes to mean “deed”, “fate”, etc. Now, when added with appropriate prefixes and suffixed and when used in context, the meaning changes beautifully and the word itself becomes extremely flexible. My layman understanding is that the root of this word is means “effect” (of some action). One such word in Thamizh is வினை ( vinai). As we had mentioned in an earlier blog, some words in a language are pregnant with meaning and when used wisely, can provide multiple layers of meaning either at the same time or even over time (giving different meanings at different levels of maturity).
