The Purpose of the Club “VIEWPOINTS”

In January 2021 amidst the grips of Covid-19 Pandemic, few friends jointly organised a virtual talk on the subject “Origin of Tamil & Sanskrit”, presided by eminent personalities in the respective fields of expertise. The discussion was quite successful in sharing information and opened many minds and kindled their thinking hats.

The above event had set the tone for the birth of the club ‘VIEWPOINTS’ a virtual platform to facilitate interesting & knowledge sharing discussions to benefit one and all, wherein several such discussions of social relevance shall be a regular affair.

Partaking one’s knowledge gained through life experiences and numerous studies with others can be considered divine and fulfilling. Similarly, sharing perspectives through panel discussions is another way of acquiring and enhancing one’s wisdom. This platform is meant to facilitate varied perspectives and healthy conversations. Any differing opinions shall be resolved by the ‘Agree to Disagree’ understanding.

Our next Discussion Event is on the topic:

The Maturing Mind – பக்குவம் அடைகின்ற மனம்

– Sunday, 1st August 2021 at 6.30pm (I.S.T) on ZOOM virtual meeting platform.

We would appreciate if you can register your contact details and the choice of Topics for future Discussion events, for keeping you posted on future events.
