Message from Mr. K. P. to 1993 HCPPA-Canada Kalai Vizha Malar New
"As the dispersed people in different parts of the world,
we must first fit ourselves into the societies in
which we find ourselves, as for example, by accepting
their work ethic. Then, we must preserve some of our values - respect for
elders, sanctity of the institution of marriage, our arts of
music and dance. Parents must ensure their children speak
Tamil, read and write it, and themselves set the example by
studying the classics like the Kural. (more)"

had a gifted memory, would identify anyone, name them,
would address them, and would ask about the concerned
person's father, mother and brothers - almost all of
