Pudhumozhi (Part II)

Excuse the lazy post, but I am running out of ideas and re-cycling old ideas don't seem that bad...

So, here goes... the uniquely Tambrahm proverbs...

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

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!

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

PS: Once again, please bear with the recycled crap while we try to come up with something original and funny.

    Brought back vivid childhood memories of crying (seriously) when I got a 99. And a fat non-iyer boy got 100. Imagine my indignation!

    from 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 :)

    @ Liberal:
    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:
    of course... I am convinced they are androids...
