The Story of Kuriyedathu Thathrihttp://bit.ly/thathri

The king stopped the prosecution

“I thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to,“

"I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations

around me. “

“I felt I was entitled. Thanks to money and fame, I didn't have to go far to find them.”

“I was wrong. I was foolish.”

~ Tiger Woods

OrA Closed one?

As TEN what can we do?

• Blame social media for all the evil ?• Be mere spectators ?• Evangelize social media / any technology for

the common good?
