Height of Atrocity!

All the arterial roads in Saravanampatti was blocked today afternoon from 12:00 noon to 12:45 with loads of traffic police... Initially I thought it could b coz of an accident or something... After sitting in the car and fuming, I venture out of the long line of vehicles and asked a traffic assistant as to what was the reason... He, in a cool manner, told me that the Governer is passing through the road as he is going for a vacation in Ooty!

Duh! All this traffic block for one person's conveyance?? Height of Atrocity!

    At least he was going by road and not by flight, as shown in one of the Vivek comedies!!!

    In an Independent India, bound by mushrooming terrorism in any nook and corner, and coimbatore being one in the hitlist let the guys (police) do that. Otherwise, you have take to detour gandhipuram and thudialur, or via chinnavedampatti to reach your office ... in case of some unfortunate thing!!!!

    Afterall, he is head of the state!!. Don't we go off the road when our boss comes our way??

Ariyaatha pillakku choriyumbol ariyum!

As a kid/teenager, my only source of information to learn malayalam was Manorama Publications' Balaram, a children's fortnightly and my granny. I still vividly remember how she used to teach me the basics of malayalam whenever I come to Kerala on vacations. My granny was also a great source of amazement for me as she used malaylam proverbs or the so called "pazham chollu" every now and then. These proverbs, though small in length and use, had deep insights! Though I can read/write Malayalam today, thx to Balarama and my granny, I used to miss her proverbs a lot. But not anymore!! Thanks to this Wikipedia link , forwarded to me by Vinay
