Keep your mouth shut...
And your nostril open while you do pranayamam!
There’s no smoke...
As divine as the one from our Ganapathy homam fire!
Laughter is the...
Best medicine, but you’ll still have to drink that kashayam!
Practise what...
The swamigal on the Aastha channel preaches.
A rolling stone...
Is the secret of paati’s lip-smacking chutney!
Variety is the spice...
And that’s why we have manga thokku, narthanga and avakka oorugai.
The grass is always greener...
In the You Ess Yay, so apply for the H1B.
Ask no questions...
Just blindly follow what the shastrams (and the sastrigal) said.
To err is human...
But how could you not get a centum in maths?
Scratch my back...
I don’t want to ruin my newly changed poonal!

"But how could you not get a centum in maths?"
ReplyDeleteBrought back vivid childhood memories of crying (seriously) when I got a 99. And a fat non-iyer boy got 100. Imagine my indignation!
"centum in maks!" Is there any tambram who has escaped this conditioning?
ReplyDeleteSo, those who get centum in maths are not human! :P

ReplyDeletefrom personal experience, i know the tragedy of the question is heightened when one gets 99...
tnkfully, no one else, fat or otherwise, iyer or not, got *the centum* in my school :)

I would like to find out too... but I guess it is one of those things... every father imagines his son is Ramanujan reincarnate...
@ Chiju:
