THE SPYDER (ஸ்பைடர்)
The Spyder is a monthly digest for the PSG Class of 1986. It is a collection of archivable posts from across Yahoo Groups, Facebook, LinkedIn, Whatsapp, PSG Alumni website and general email traffic, hosted on the class blog, VIBGYOR.
Spy-der is a way to look at different social platform posts (spy), and then like a spider gather it into a web (digest).

Seeking Resonance - By Surya Kolluri
It occurs to me that the entire environment that envelopes us is full of messages. Neighbors, family, friends, colleagues, pets, gardens all are full of messages. Even inside of us - our organs, emotions, thoughts are full of messages. But are we listening?
Am I Real? - Pro. Kolluri
Am I real? There are two sides to this question. One is what we like to believe and the other - which is a possibility that we may not like to face up to.

Inspiration for The Spyder
A noiseless, patient spider - Walt Whitman
A NOISELESS, patient spider,
I mark’d, where, on a little promontory, it stood, isolated;
Mark’d how, to explore the vacant, vast surrounding,
It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself;
Ever unreeling them—ever tirelessly speeding them.
And you, O my Soul, where you stand,
Surrounded, surrounded, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing,—seeking the spheres, to connect them;
Till the bridge you will need, be form’d—till the ductile anchor hold;
Till the gossamer thread you fling, catch somewhere, O my Soul.
