Kizha Mozhi - II - "சீலை இல்லன்னு சின்னாயி வீட்டுக்கு போனா, ஈச்சம் பாய கட்டிண்டு எதிர்ல வந்தாளாம்"

It means - Having ran out of a saree to wear, she goes to her aunt's house to borrow one, but finds her aunt wearing leaves of eecha maram as a dress.

my-wife: "Naalaikku snow storm, aathla paal kammiya irukkey, pakkath aathu Lakshmi kitta kekkalaama?"


There is a knock on the door and we open it to find pakkathu aathu Lakshmi.

pakkath-aathu-Lakshmi: "Hey, actually we have ran out of milk, can you spare some milk please?"

Kizha Mozhi - I -"காசிக்கு போனாலும் கருமம் விடாதாம்"

Oru vazhiya Buffalo, Boston snow ellathayum vittutu, mazhaiye better'nu Seattle vandha, inga snow-storm-watch is elevated to blizzard-warning'nnu weather report:




I have never seen a city so unprepared for snow. What is the point in getting accurate weather forecast if it is not put to proper(any) use? Is it too much to ask for the snow to be cleared, if not once in few hours, at least once a day? For an individual, even I got prepared for the snow storm by storing some food and supplies, I fail to understand why the apartment community/ the Redmond city failed to prepare for the snow.

Well.. so much frustration because my car got stuck in snow and I had to spend couple of hours within the apartment's parking lot to fish my car out.
