In spite of the marathon posting in various threads
I have managed to add the illustrations to the proverbs up to #610.
Only two hundred more to be done.(#611 to # 810)
And two hundred more proverbs with illustrations to be included!
 
I have managed to reach my target of 1000 proverbs with the help of the ones given by Mr. saidevo.
The parallel Proverbs or quotes in English are getting ready. Soon they will appear here too.

Dear Mr. saidevo,
Thanks for giving the proverbs in Tamil as well the links for English proverbs.
Why have you stopped the Tamil proverbs abruptly with just 'a' and "A"???
The proverb site is the busiest now.
Anything from 100 to 200 people visit it everyday! :)
The highest viewership was ~400 on July 25th.
with the illustrations it will become even more attractive.
Thank you once again! :pray2:
with warm regards,
V.R
