The flower has no smell or any medicinal value. ✖️
Paliyan tribal people living in TN use this flower bloom as reference to calculate their age.

Political Discourse: A Relic of the Past
Sixty years after Nehru's demise and 68 years after Ambedkar's passing, our politicians remain intellectually imprisoned in a time warp, endlessly rehashing debates from the 1940s and 50s while the nation suffocates under mounting contemporary challenges.
The Tragic Disconnect
Our parliamentary discussions have devolved into a pathetic museum of nostalgia, completely divorced from the brutal realities facing 1.4 billion Indians:
✓Toxic air choking our cities
✓Runaway inflation destroying middle-class dreams
✓Crumbling education systems
✓Predatory taxation
✓Systemic corruption eating away national potential
✓Massive unemployment
✓Infrastructure that resembles a third-world nightmare.
The Real Indictment:
Not a single meaningful dialogue emerges from our so-called representatives. They're more interested in theatrical performances, ancestral worship, and point-scoring than solving actual problems.
Our democracy has become a tragic comedy - legislators debating historical personalities while the country burns, drowns, and disintegrates around them.
The nation deserves Much, much better😑.
