Pudhumozhi...

Note: Tam-specific post. Apologies to the rest.


********************************************************************

When life gives you a lemon...

Tie a chilli with it, and use it to ward off evil...
********************************************************************

If at first, you don't succeed...

Join any engineering college, you can always attempt the IIT-JEE next year...
********************************************************************

Let not thy left hand know...

that it is considered too impure to touch the food on your plate...
********************************************************************

Early to bed, and early to rise...

Just don't make me play Suprabhatam thrice...
********************************************************************

All is fair in love...

and that's why we mention it in the matrimonial classifieds...
********************************************************************

Cleanliness is next to...

Madi, Acharam, Patthu, Ecchil...
********************************************************************

Don't cut off your nose...

Lakshmanan already did that to spite Surpanakha's face...
********************************************************************

Don't wash your dirty linen...

after all, what do we pay the Vannaan for?
********************************************************************

Fools rush in...

We prefer to wait in the queue at the bus stop...
********************************************************************

It is no use crying...

and no, you are NOT allowed to spill that milk!!!

    @ Liberal:
    the insanities make us who we are... and am sure every community has its own quirks... just that I am not aware of them :)

    @ anand:
    hiyya, monk commented!!!

    would you believe it if I said that this was sparked by seeing a rickshaw driver carefully buy a lemon+chilli string at a traffic signal...

    but yeah, the ceiling-a paathu yosikarathu sounds more intelluctual, so let's go with that!

  9. @ Anjana:

    *fends it off like Suresh Raina* and
    *perishes trying to pull it*

    Home is where the filter coffee is.
    Failure is the stepping stone to shaming your entire IIT family.
    Where there is a will, there is Rama.
