Enna Koduma Sir Idhu !!! – 4
My bro tells me, “dont scrap me in tamil, it will give a cheap look to you”
My friend(who was born and brought up in trichy only) tells me (proudly!), “I dont know to read and write tamil”
Some people ask me not to wear dhoti, as if it is something cheap.
All this is due to the fact that people tend to madly follow the western culture. I wish to use the term Westoxification to describe the phenomenon found in most of the people, especially youngsters. Let me give you some examples:
- In a 5 * hotel in chennai, people without shoes are not allowed inside. In the same hotel, people with dhoti are not allowed!!! - This is something atrocious. Having their hotel in TAMILNADU and not allowing people in traditional tamil attire – Enna Koduma Sir Idhu !!!
- Most of the people dont read tamil books or tamil literature. Wherever you go, you could spot a guy with a SIDNEY in hand. There’s nothing wrong in that, but looking down upon people reading tamil books is something untolerable.
- Most of the kids call their parents by ‘MOM’, ‘DAD’… Why use such words when there are beautiful words in tamil ‘AMMA’, ‘APPA’.
- Somedays back, I went to X’s house. A kid was playing with some toys. When we entered and took seats, the kid’s father called her and asked her to recite the poems which she had learnt in class. Even after she recited 3 or 4 poems, the dad was not satisfied. He wanted all of us to have more of the kid’s fluency. The kid was on the verge of crying… She wanted to play, but was not allowed to.
The point is that, people should live for themselves and not for others. In most of the cases, people want to project themselves as so-called ELITE and cheat themselves.
I dont mean to say that we should not adopt the western habits/culture (If you are going to a meeting, you have to be in formals, it is obvious) . What I ask for is, we should follow our culture too! There should be a BALANCE in what we do. Also, people should not consider speaking or reading Tamil as something inferior.

hi all. Now, I am in Bombay(luv to call it tat way only) for my project work at IIT. I am going in an auto to IIT coz I have to be there early. I know English and ‘BUTLER-Hindi’ only and the auto driver knows vice-versa ! Imagine our conversation… For conveying a simple thing, it takes about 10-15 mins… Enna Koduma Sir Idhu !!!

Whenever I get to see some/most programs(masthana masthana, asathapovathu yaru, maan ada mayil ada) in sun or kalaignar tv, I feel really irritated. Cant they think on their own… We have to appreciate Vijay TV for their creativity. Copyin others ideas and originality is really ridiculous. The Tv channels should be concerned about being original and should not copy like this. Sun TV copies from Vijay and Kalaignar tv from Sun… Enna Koduma Sir Idhu !!!

In Kerala, there was a vacancy for the post of PWD minister ( incharge of roads and other stuff). Imagine how the candidate has been chosen ? Based on experience, quality … The answer is a big NO.
It is claimed that the candidate has been selected by a lucky draw ( kulukkal murai !!!). The candidate is also claimed to have been involved in a case of misconduct. If this is the way ministers are decided, then just think how the govt will function(?). Enna Koduma Sir Idhu !!!

Enna Koduma Sir Idhu !!!
‘Enna Koduma Sir Idhu’ – These are the words that have created a huge impact on the hearts of many tamil fans (including me). I started using these words since Chandramukhi’s release (Enna Koduma Saravanan) and now much frequently after Chennai 600028 ’s release.
Coming to the point, there are many instances where I use these words. So, from now on I am going to make this as one of the features of this blog. You can expect the first post of ‘Enna Koduma Sir Idhu’ series shortly.
Till then take care and be happy !!!
