Am still laughing over He’s nakkalish “He: err. Indha ilaya kooda saapadnuma? Natural food naan saaptadhu illai. Adhaan theriyalai. Oru veLai ilaiyum serthu saapadnumo appadinu nenachen”

You seem to be a decent anon when compared to the abusive ones I have encountered! Having said that, it would be better if you can keep your assumptions to yourself.

this is the first time I am leaving a comment on this blog, though I have read all your posts in this category till date
(Awesome job! I must say!! dhool kelappra pa!!) what prompted me to post now was the fact that I had the (mis)fortune of taking my friends out for a treat to this place, thanks to the advice of a moron back at college :).. well. as if to console myself, I was left saying after we came out (with a good samaritan of a friend for company) — “saappaada nalla irundhadhu la, different a irundhadhu pa… eppo paatthaalum 3/5 star hotel la dhaan treat kudukkanuma… ellaam oru change dhaan…”
