Maram (Trees) and Generosity Lessons from Tamil Nadu’s lush trees about giving without expecting anything in return Trees Give Without Asking Anything Back In every corner of Tamil Nadu villages, temples, cities you will find trees standing tall, quietly offering so much to us. They give us shade, fruits, flowers, wood, and fresh air. Yet, they never ask for anything in return. This quality of trees shows us what true generosity means. Even when people cut their branches or rest under their shade without caring, trees continue to give. Part of Everyday Life in Tamil Culture From ancient times, Tamil culture has respected trees. We worship the Peepal tree, tie threads around the neem tree, and plant saplings during festivals and family functions. Our elders often say, “Maram pola irukkanum” meaning we should be like a tree, always giving. These beliefs were not just about nature, but about shaping a giving and kind heart in us too.

For many, it brings back a flood of memories—of early mornings, classroom lessons, school assemblies, and the sense of discipline that shaped our young lives.

Just like school, following a set routine can help us stay organized...
