What I quoted (aRRa kuLaththin aRu neerppaRavai) is not some "thathuvam", it had been a reality and thus became proverbial.

I myself had seen a similar thing happening to a supposedly wealthy family, right in a kukkirAmam, who supposedly had a lot of servants etc. Then at one point of time, nodichchuppOnAnga. The parents died (I don't know how, could have been suicide, but that was before I was born). But I saw all three grown-up children who got mentally affected and roamed around in the very same village almost as beggars - azhukku sattai, pala nAL kuLikkAmal angangE yAchakam kEttu nadappArkaL!

Their house became 'pAzhadaindha veedu' right next to the bus stop in the village. (I am talking about the village where my dad worked & where I grew up). Nobody cared for those three - except may be to give them tea & leftover food!

However, like I mentioned in my post to Venkkiram, this is not an "average situation" but possibly one-off.

Which is the case of most movies (Does every left-out child in TN runs to Mumbai & become Varadharaja mudhaliyAr - Velu Naicker? Has every sales boy/girl in Saravana stores become the angAdiththeru hero/heroine?)
