November 1 marks Kerala Piravi Day, a day of pride and reflection for every Malayali. It was on this day in 1956 that the state of Kerala was formed by merging the Malayalam-speaking regions, giving birth to a land celebrated for its unity, culture, and compassion. Yet beyond the shared language of words, what truly binds us together is the language of love that flows from the heart - a language that transcends all boundaries, faiths, and differences.
Love is the universal expression of humanity and values. When we nurture it within, it blossoms like the lush beauty of Kerala itself - pure, timeless, and ever-renewing. Just as in sports, where teamwork and mutual respect create victory, the spirit of togetherness should guide us in life as well. As we celebrate Kerala Piravi Day, let us wish for the sun of love to rise within and among us, lighting every heart and home with warmth and unity. May our Kerala continue to flourish with the same love and harmony that define its spirit.
