Thanks for the info KK - that brings me to an adage -
"ViTtathadhi Aasai ViLam pazhathu OotOde" - Can
you or 007 explain this??? Thanks in advance.

Thanks KK - unfortunately, I did not spend much time with both my grand mas - I had a different notion about this adage - Once ViLam Pazham becomes totally ripe, the fruit inside is supposed to be free of the outer shell - Pazham vaangara pOthu Aatti paarthu vaanganum illiya?? So, antha mathiri , manasu pazhuthu pOna Aasai engira Oottil irunthu separate aagum nnu ninaichen.

About my paternal grand ma - she was good at all these adages - for every action /occasion she had some thing ready. It took me a long time to understand
"Vidiya moonji velaikki pOnaa, velaiyum kidaikkathu, kooliyum kidaikkathu" Remeber asking her "velai illainna Kooli epdi paatti??" and her smug smile of
"great, at last u do understand , eh??" She was an excellent Chief executive with out any MBA from any Ivy League school. My dad always tells me that I am like her but I can't agree . Wish I had 1 /10 th of her acumen - at least - then i would be a grown up !!!😉
