Kural of the week:

Uruvukandu ellamai vaendum urulperunthaerkku
acchaani annaar udaithhu.

at; urul - moving; perum - big; thaer - cart; acchaani - nail used to

out of their axle).}

Do you know ?
-------------
Women in India wear 'pottu' or 'bindi' or 'thilakam' on their
foreheads. But why ? It is to prevent the hypnotic(!) forces entering
their mind, thereby preventing them from the outside evil(!) forces.
{Read somewhere. Not my own interpretation. - Anbu}
[Most of the customs have a reason behind them. Try to find it. If
it is right, accept it. ]
