Jallikattu -Traditional sport of Tamil Nadu(India)

Introduction

Jallikattu is an ancient sport. The seals of the Indus Valley civilization depict it, which is proof that this sport was in vogue 5,000 years ago. Ancient Tamil poetry, known as Sangam literature (2nd BCE – 2nd CE), has many detailed references to Eru Thazhuvuthal (hugging the bull).
History

Jallikattu  also known as Eru thazhuvuthal is one of the traditional sport in which a Bos indicus bull is released into a crowd of people. Multiple human participants attempt to grab and tightly "hug" the large hump of the bull and hang on to it while the bull attempts to escape. Participants hug the hump for as long as possible, attempting to bring the bull to a stop. In some cases, participants must ride long enough to remove flags affixed to the bull's horns.  Jallikattu is typically practiced in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu as a part of Pongal celebrations on Mattu Pongal day.

Do They Really Succeed in the Exam of Life? A Reality Check on Different Types of Students

    By Andrews Elsan In every classroom, we meet different kinds of students — toppers, average scorers, silent learners, emotional souls, talented multitaskers, and even the misled ones. But as soon as school ends, a surprising truth appears: Marks decide your result card, but character decides your future. In this blog, let’s look at some common student types and what life usually holds for them beyond the classroom. 1. The High Scorer Who Is Weak in Co-Curricular Activities Academically brilliant. Teachers remember their answers. Parents feel proud.

Life Outcome: Good start, but stagnant progress unless they learn real-world skills. 2. The Moderate Scorer with Strong Practical Skills Not a topper, not a failure — but talented in m...

The Book of Life – From a Seed to a Star: A Journey Through the Pages of Growing Up

By Andrews Elsan   When a child is born, their book lies open — blank, pure, and waiting to be written. This metaphor, simple yet profound, captures one of life's most beautiful truths: we are all authors of our own stories, and the narrative we create shapes the person we become. From the first breath to the moment we step into adulthood, life unfolds like a magnificent novel, each chapter revealing new characters, challenges, and revelations. The First Pages: Colors of Innocence Each day, a new page turns. The first pages are filled with colors of innocence, laughter, and curiosity. A baby's first smile, the wonder in their eyes as they discover their own hands, the pure joy of hearing a familiar voice – these are the opening lines of every human story. In these early pages, the world is magical. Everything is new, everything matters, and every sensation writes itself into memory with vivid intensity. A butterfly's flight becomes an epic adventure. A mother's embra...
