The master was puzzled & asked him why he did that for which he replied that there was a dead fly under the lap of the envelope he showed. Complying with his orders to the letter he had ee adichified!
'kazuthaikku theriyumaa kaRpoora vaasanai'' has been found to be wrong in the old proverb thread, the correct one being 'kalasaththukku theriyumaa kaRpoora vaasanai'. But 'kazuthai' is widely popular in lay people's dialogues!
Here are some more! TN, please point out the repetitions.
