I remember one SV Sekar joke. He asks a malayali
‘XYZ street kku eppadinga poganum?’
‘E Road poi thiruchchi varanum’
‘Ennadhu. Pakkathu theru pogarudhukku erode poi Tirichy varanuma?’

More and more pictures of the rains are very depressing
Have seen enough now. Wishing for the rains to stop any further damage to lives and property.

I remember of SV sekhar whenever I hear the word “Katti” & “Aani”-
SVS acting as a doctor when patients enter:-
P: Doctor, ukkarura idhthila “katti”
SVS: Thalli ukkara pa….LOL!
Next one:
P: Doctor, Kalule “aani”
SVS: Nalladha nalu calender vangi tharein, maattiko….
He’s too funny!
Get sambharred!!!

some will be uncomfortable, particularly the poor — help them out to relocate temporarily — but let not the rains stop - we need more — we tinkered with nature in many ways, the role is reversed now !!

some hearsays:
chennaiyil orE mazhaikkaalam is the only movie running in all theatres apart from flooded waters.
ofcourse, parangimalai jothi shows anRu peidha mazhayil
i noticed erode-kerala thing. but again in the next slide or somewhere they have mentioned correctly. so benefit of the doubt to rediff.
krishna river is in both andhra and karnataka. just like cauvery water dispute between KA and TN there is a krishna (alamatti dam) issue between KA and AP.
