Sory if I sounded like "kushboo is a tamil word". What I actually

        I think this is the correct meaning as per my understanding;
        ( there is a story about the karuvaadu (= dried fish) carrying 
          lady saying that the flowers were 'foul smelling')
         These are obviously gross exaggerations of some basic elements of
         truths.
 
>         
>	Meanwhile,does anyone know the origin of the proverb "Sundaikkai 
>kal paNam Somakkooli mukkal paNam".

       'Sundaikkaay' is a very tiny 'unripened fruit' often used to indicate
        'very small' in a figurative sense. examples: 'sundaikaay poRaatha
         vishayaththai' = 'a matter so insignificant' ..
        
       'kaal paNam' means one quarter of a unit of currency called 'paNam'
                    [ paNam in olden days meant a significant amount]
       'somakUli' is sumai + kUli = transportation cost
       'mukkaal paNam' = three quarters of 'paNam'
    
        Thus the above saying tells : 'a thing as small as a sundaikkaay
        costs a quarter paNam and it costs another three quarters of a paNam
        to transport !!'. This tells the ludicrous nature of some 
        unprofitable 'enterprise'.

		minnal varigaL - A CONTEST !!!
		------------------------------

	Thanks to an idea from Sivabala Narayanan and the assistance
of Satish Subramaniam, it is now proposed to hold  regular contests
to select the best minnal varigaLs that have been posted in a month and,
if possible, a year. We hope that such a competition will enhance the
value of this thread and make it more enjoyable. Your comments and
suggestions are welcome. They can be addressed to either 

	kanth@cse.ogi.edu or
	sivabala@hilde.nurse.washington.edu or
	subraman@cs.umn.edu.

	The rules of this contest (as framed by Sivabala and modified
by Satish and myself) are as under :
 
                             MINNAL VARIGAL CONTEST

1. The minnal varigaLs which appear during a month will be collected
   and posted on the net for review on the first of the following
   month. Only varigaLs contributed through Srikanth will be considered.

2. Each voter shall then pick his/her top 5 ordered choices and send the
   minnal varigaL numbers to Siva (sivabala@u.washington.edu) no later
   than the the fifth of each month. 

3. Each first choice will be given a weight of 5,
   each second, a weight of four and so on. The weights will then be
   totalled up and the top three minnal varigaLs and their 
   contributors announced. The names of the voters who have the three 
   winning varigaLs as their top three choices will also be announced.
   
4. (Hopefully,)At the end of 12 months, a similar poll will be 
   conducted using the the top 3 minnal varigaLs of each month, 
   which would decide the "minnal varigaL of the year" and the 
   "Best Contributor of the year". 

5. If two persons happen to contribute the same minnal varigaL,
   the one who sent it first will be the contributor.

6. The co-ordinators of the contest (Satish, Siva and Srikanth) are
   not eligible to vote.

Here is a kadi specially imported from India for the readers of SCT.
Before plunging into the story let me warn you that this is pure
unadulterated kadi.



There was this friend of mine who used to work for bank as a 
cashier. He was sort of greedy and used to spend more than
what he could earn. Finally one day all the lenders pounced
on him for getting their money back and this guy, left without
a choice, stole Rs. 1.5 lakhs from his bank and distributed it
to the lenders.
   All was fine till the bank announced that auditing of accounts
was going to be done the next week. Our friend got really frightened,
went home and asked his wife for advice. His wife, more frightened
than he is, committed suicide unable to face the world as the wife
of a thief.
   Our friend was truly depressed and decided to follow his wife's
solution. He went to the bridge on the nearby river and was about
to jump from it to commit suicide. This was when he happened to
meet a ugly hag who looked like a witch. She looked at him and 
said `If I were you I would not be doing what you are doing'.
She then proceeded to say that she knew all about his problems
and that she knew the solution too.
   There was a catch in it too. She said that she would reveal
the solution only if he spent the night with her. Our friend
initially thought of refusing (she looked ultimately ugly, old
and disgusting) but since it was a matter of life and death,
he decided to agree to the condition.
   A night was spent with the witch and early morning he asked
the witch for the solution. She asked him his age.
He replied that he was 31. `Okay', she proceeded to explain 



`You are 31 years old and you still believe in witches!!'.

:-) :-)

As a `kosuru' here is a joke I heard a loong time back.

Teacher: If 3 squared is 9 and 4 squared is 16, what is my age ?
Student: 60, sir!
Teacher (really surprised): How did you find out ?
Student: My cousin is a arai paithiyam and he is 30.

	I think the only relation between 'aaciriyappa' and 'aaciriya
	viruththam' is 'thaLai', not the 'seer'. And all the lines
	should be of the same length and should have the same order
	of the 'seers' in half line. For example 2*(2+2+3) is a typical
	length and order in a ''aaciriya viruththam', with six seers and
	that is the minimum length. Verses with longer than eight seers 
	called 'kazhinediladi aaciriya viruththam' and the work with
	longest lines is 'thiruppugazh'. And also there should be 
	'edhugai', within each line.

kushboo is so popular in TN that there are songs written
on her in Tamil movies (like they used to write songs on
MGR). Here is a recent hit song on kushboo (and Rajini)
from the recent hit movie "aNNaamalai":

(kushboo means `naRumaNam' in tamil!).

This is an interpretation. In general in Tamil Nadu and Madras in particular
one side of the bus is allocated for women, and the other side is left
unspecified. This means that any body can use that part of the bus, and
the women in TN do take advantage of this, unwittingly.

BTW, all these are IMHO.
