Thirukkural - A Treasure of Wisdom

Only a few us know the name of Thiruvalluvar.There is none who has given such a treasure of wisdom like him" - M.K.Gandhi.

Rain - Quencher of thirst and hunger

If you are thirsty or hungry, nothing works. It is a great feeling to enjoy pure spring water after experiencing thirstiness. Every drop of it goes into our system as source of energy and life. Can you think of any food without water content ? Coffee, Tea, Rice, Bread, Curry, Vegetables - almost any cooked food needs water and it is healthier than frying a food !.


To the hungry, Rain supplies
Both Food and itself as drink.
