    About this ebook

    Avvaiyar is an immortal Tamil poetess. All her works were aimed at educating children .She lived in the 13th century .But all her works are still relevant. All of them are didactic in nature.She authored 4 literary works mainly for educating children. They are 'Athichudi Moothurai, Kontrai Venthan and Nalvazhi ' These are the Tamil titles of those 4 great literary works of Avvaiyar. Athichudi is a set of maxims for children .Moothurai is all about the time honored wisdom shared by Avvai for the benefit of children .Konthai Venthan is again a set of nuggets by Avvai Nalvazhi is all about 'Good Conduct'..Avvai is known to all Tamil children as the grand old lady and is fondly known as 'Avvai Patti ' (means granny).All her nuggets are short pithy statements known for its brevity. To understand the mastery and command of Avvai over the Tamil language I decided to make this eBook bilingual, the original Tamil verses are also given in this eBook alongside the English Translations.

    I am a Tamil and Malyalam Translator.After retirement I started my career as a translator. I also do Subtitling/Captioning I am an active blogger. My first ebook was a collection of my blog posts titled " Outshine -An Indian blogger's perspective" .My second ebook was a collection of my translations of the great Tamil poetess Avvaiyar's immortal works to English. Her time tested aphorisms are nuggets par excellence and are relevant even to this date. The peadegogic values of her instructions are worth reading for children of the world .That prompted me to translate them to English along with the original Tamil verses of Avvaiyaar, I have translated to English Avvai's Tamil verses 'Athi Chudi' .'Nalvazhi', 'Moothura'i and 'Kondrai Venthan' . I am sure readers would agree with me that my ebook "Avvaiyar's aphorisms in Tamil and English" will be a worthy addition to your e-library and a priceless book of great pedogogic value for the young generation of the world.
