Utter bitter truth, yes? How to convey the message without anyone feeling hurt ??
Dear Naina Sir,

Have you heard of this: 'nAyE nAyE nallappA; pEyE pEyE periyappA'?

My aunt's mother in her ripe old age used to tell interesting stories to us! When a discussion came about the difficulty

in getting domestic help, she told us to follow the above said formula. Even if the behaviour of the worker is like 'nAy'
he should be addressed as 'nallappA'; and the 'pEy' as 'periyappA'. :peace:

Regards..........

Our elders knew better about human psychology! Remember the famous adage "sama, bedha, dhana, dhandam" ?
 
You might also say that you never got a chance to get high on heroin – it would have been thrilling too. And you could call anyone telling about the evils of heroin as sour grapes!

Wow, now elopement is like heroin? Mind if I ask how you know? Which of these two have you tried?

Sorry Biswa, you were the one asking questions. I didn't. You were the one confused, not me. I go by what the society at large considers normative behaviour. For instance, when I was at school and college, most of my friends considered it chic to smoke 2 and 3 packs of cigarettes. But my elders said that it was harmful, and I accepted that decision, without having to rebel and question the elders as to how they knew that cigarette smoking was harmful. பொறுத்தார் பூமி ஆழ்வார். And I hope you know what the status today is with regard to smoking.

Where is the need to tell a skunk that it is a skunk.
The whole neighborhood would know it without our uttering a syllable.
Yes, only if you could recognise it as a skunk. Just as we may have a wolf in sheep’s clothing, can we not have a skunk conceal smell with perfume from Calvin Klein or Givenchy or Chanel N°5 ( female) Paco Rabanne/Dior Homme (male)?

When I read the word skunk here I got reminded of this incident in 2006.
When my husband and I went to car show room to see a car we took our son along too(that time my son's age was 6).

The sales person at the showroom a chinese lady was non stop trying to talk to my son and my son was getting annoyed with her questions.

Then she asked him "are you a good boy or a naughty boy?"

To my surprise my son replied "I am a skunky boy"

The lady was "What? you are a skunky boy?"

My son replied"Every day my mum bathes me with skunks and very soon I will be starting to smell like one"

The lady was shocked and stopped trying to talk to him and walked away.

Later I asked my son"why did you say that I bathe you with skunks"

and he said "I wanted her to leave me alone so I chose to speak about skunks so that she will get scared and leave"

So the skunk word does scare people away.!!LOL

Need a person be bitten by a cobra
to know that cobra venom is deadly???

Once in my college a post graduate student had committed suicide becos his family didn't allow him to marry the girl he loved.(some intercaste love)
Ok he swallowed cyanide(he was a biochemistry master's student).

But before he died..he wrote in his final notes describing every feeling he felt and how cyanide tasted till he could write no more.
 
One more proof that the world wants to hear
only sweet white lies and not utter bitter truths.

kaariyam aaganum endraal
kazhuthai kaalaiyum pidikkanum.

kaariyam perithaa??? :decision: veeriyam perithaa???

I have a different version of the story.
A scientist WANTED to record the experience of consuming cyanide.
After he wrote that he swallowed the cyanide and then there were no more entries.
It seems the action of cyanide on humans in instantaneous. :scared:
