Inspired by books, man aims to spread word

In the midst of 1,500 books, each one offering a gateway to new ideas, you find yourself wrapped in a haven of positivity. This is the vision brought to life by M Thirumalaikumar, who transformed his home terrace into 'Arignar Anna Arivukoodam,' a safe space for avid readers.

M Thirumalaikumar (34), of Puliyangudi town near Tenkasi, thought about giving up on his studies after failing his SSLC examination. However, his life took a turn after watching motivational speeches by IAS officer V Irai Anbu on the Podhigai channel. Inspired by his speeches, Thirumalaikumar turned to selfhelp books to overcome his failure.

These books not only transformed his own life but also motivated him to share the benefits of reading with others. With a borrowed sum of 1lakh from a relative, he set up a small library on the terrace of his home, offering a quiet space for others to discover the joy of reading.
