My dear Raji,
Do you think what I am thinking now?
The overacting and underplaying...
the standard of the posts deteriorating...
the number of mistakes increasing exponentially...
reminds me the incident of Cheeththalai Chaaththanaar.
The tell tale clues do they really convey something???
 
கோடி கொடுத்தும் குடிப்பிறந்தார் தம்மோடு
கூடுதல் கோடி பெறும்;


3. கோடி பொன்னைக் கொடுத்தாவது நல்ல குடும்பத்தில் பிறந்தவர்களுடன் சேர்ந்து வாழ்வது கோடி பொன்னுக்கு இணையானது ஆகும்.


The word "குடி" here does not mean "குடும்பம்" but "குலம்" (which most probably means race or tribe or caste). The common theme one finds in tamil literature is that nobility is attached to birth.
 
By 1. who, 2. when, 3. why and 4. how???
1. By our moderator.

2. Soon after posting.

3. New member's posts are inspected at random.

4. The post appeared sometime later in between, because of the time of posting.

P.S: I noticed it ONLY because it was lying in my mail box! :ranger:
