APAD-23-Nov-24-2023-Postponing-marriage-and-child-birth Jeyamohan started venmurasu in 2013, Seth Godin started many of his ventures around the same period.

*சவரக்கத்தி நுனியின் மேல் நடப்பது போன்ற கவனத்துடன் ஒரு நாளைக்கு எத்தனை காரியங்களைச் செய்கிறோம்?* 1. Minimise our worldly duties which we do to satisfy our ego or prove something to someone. 2. Believe in a power more than us (aka) God 3. Remove our disbelief. 4. Learn to enjoy the silence (Not தனிமை but ஏகாந்தம் - Bliss) __*_Mind_*__ your words, very much.

When an old (wo)man asks unco...
