When silence speaks volumes
Understanding cues without words is not possible for everyone. It requires what we now call Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) — the ability to observe, infer, connect, and conclude. Stories we grew listening to, of kings and their wise companions — often speak of the ability of the latter to understand the silent conversations. In today’s episode, the author takes you through a few such stories, culminating in how Thiruvalluvar described the power of the unspoken.
