Sandeep,no doubt about it.

Some of my friends in bangalore tell me that kerala achieved 100% literacy because all the illitrates either went to middle east (Gulf) or came to bangalore (like me)

. Now I can add Pune too

. What you say?

How dare you?

Thirdrate Thendi can be the name of a hit movie, it will be a bigger hit than Olympian Adam Anthony

hey..I would really like to know the answer as well.. I belief thendi means beggar.. however, some ppl refer to it as loafer..no idea..

**blahblah** · 12th January 2005, 11:34 AM

Thendi can mean both 'beggar' and ''loafer'' according to the context.I earlier gave only one meaning because this gentleman who posted this specifically asked whether it means 'beggar'or 'bas***d.When someone asks you ''whether you know that thendi who sits infront of the bus station'',it means beggar.When your mother asks you ''Ravile muthal evide thendi nadakkuvarunneda?'',it gives the other meaning
