But what do these #ceremonies do to the children/adults who have no choice but to go through them? Read @meeravijayann's personal experience with the Manjal Neeratu Vizha ceremony, and how it changed her life: bit.ly/theceremony-de… #AgencyOrAge?
Ever felt a gaping sense of dissonance between what you're supposed to feel at a tradition gathering and what you really feel inside? Read @meeravijayann's piece for more: bit.ly/theceremony-de… #AgeOrAgency?
The story is republished from TheSoup @TheSoup_India Artwork by Galiyara: instagram.com/galiyara_art/?…
12 year old Meera had a bad feeling about what was in store for her. After all, she'd seen the photo albums her friends had. Today's #DeepDive is a personal recollection of #ComingOfAge ceremonies, an example of the stark divide between Agency and Age: bit.ly/theceremony-de…
Now up for your listening pleasure: The Putting Kadalai Playlist! A compilation of #Tamil love songs, curated by Rajesh on his quest to conquer #love as a 16 year old boy. Read his story, accompanied by the playlist that taught him the ABCs of romance: bit.ly/tamilsongshear…
It is one thing to learn about love man-to-man. In 1998 Thamarai changes the game, opening the gates of the #Tamil film industry to a whole crew of female lyricists. Little does teenage Rajesh know what new knowledge is in store. Read more: bit.ly/tamilsongshear… #AgencyOrAge?
"Just make sure you don't get carried away and start texting your exes." - Rajesh Rajamani, Author on Deep Dives #AgencyOrAge? Explore the earnest, intense, and simultaneously silly feeling of seeking love for the very first time: bit.ly/tamilsongshear…
Moving from email to phone calls in the days of landlines and eavesdropping families is no easy task. Especially when there are budgetary and bravery restrictions too! What advice do Reema Sen and Thamarai have for Rajesh? Find out here: bit.ly/tamilsongshear… #AgencyOrAge?
Haven't you heard it yet? 💗A compilation of love advice for all those still learning the ropes of romance, find our Putting Kadalai playlist with Rajesh's #DeepDive on #AgencyOrAge here: bit.ly/tamilsongshear… #tamilmusic #romance
Recovering from #heartbreak over his busstop #romance, Rajesh now finds love a little closer to home. Guided by the words of Revathi in Mouna Raagam, Rajesh learns that this spark just needs a little கிண்டல்-ing. Read on: bit.ly/tamilsongshear…
Deep Dives retweeted
Opinion | It is amusing how Tamil songs often describe the feeling of love. Not as an emotional or mental state but as a purely physiological change in the human body, writes Rajesh Rajamani for @deep_dives medium.com/deep-dives/i-w…
