OANGUGA ULAGAM /

Although I have always admired the Tamils who enriched my life, I thought that it was a long way off from the Tamil world after I started my educational career in Anna Nagar, Chennai, setting up an education virtue in my mothers name. I enjoyed writing over seventy-five books and starting my mothers Tamil. I did not write or publish any books after I started doing good work for my mother. A book about going abroad (seventy days in seven countries) and a book about school development (I look back in astonishment) were published recently. I have repeatedly pointed out that some of my texts, which are textbooks, are the source material for this work. I had time to analyze all the old papers I had piled up last year. The speeches I have spoken over the years (I have a habit of writing down everything I speak most often), the writings I have written for many magazines have been my acquisition. One or two of my students were present when I analyzed them. They found all these articles and said, Even if you are not new to writing, you can compile and compile. Thats right. I immediately had some basics when I thought of researching and compiling some. I thought that small articles could be made into one book and large ones into another. This booklet is based on that idea.a A.M. Paramasivanandam
