I know that attachment to Valliammma. In fact she's so lucky to have known your family. I've had a few maids who have been like that to us. I also think its our attitude towards them that makes them so good to us. Its a mutual relation.<BR/><BR/>@ceedy Hey...sorry for bursting that balloon, filled with nostalgia.

If that weren't worse, there were these sisters who were neighbours.. their folks named them June, July and December... no prizes for guessing why. <BR/><BR/>But Miss Titty Verghese was the laughing stock in her college. Not more than Mr.Dildo whose disgruntled ex-fiancee wrote into a social networking forum as to why she had to break off the alliance!:)Sairekhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01315402584142064271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556500996991493053.post-92198056295386416072008-03-19T14:34:00.000+05:302008-03-19T14:34:00.000+05:30i love buying fowers for my friends, but most of t...i love buying fowers for my friends, but most of the time i buy flowers without knwing da name - so, even if a rose is not named a rose, statistical chanes are hgigh that i may still pick it up :-D<BR/><BR/>like the muniyandi, we too have a family back home... but ppl like them r fast disappering... poor mannangatti...<BR/>therz a stidy in malayalam abt the journy to Kashi by a Manangatti and itz friend kariyila (dried leaf)...--xh--https://www.blogger.com/profile/12695674712856611416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556500996991493053.post-38779002651251521692008-03-19T14:22:00.000+05:302008-03-19T14:22:00.000+05:30hey what's up at dreamz of wordz? :)hey what's up at dreamz of wordz? :)aMushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14191649124291527517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556500996991493053.post-29797084177018120112008-03-19T09:46:00.000+05:302008-03-19T09:46:00.000+05:30you start with something and then wham get us back...you start with something and then wham get us back to earth with something else...<BR/><BR/>i agree..kings had no imagination whatso ever when naming their kids...I, II, III, IV...:D<BR/><BR/>but motte...poor girl...<BR/><BR/>i endorse J's views...i remember the old lady who used to work for me, when i had just got married and came to Delhi...she really taught me a few things...and tolerated my tantrums too..:DaMushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14191649124291527517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556500996991493053.post-72747897583565122592008-03-19T06:38:00.000+05:302008-03-19T06:38:00.000+05:30I think what makes people miss someone like muniya...I think what makes people miss someone like muniyappa is perhaps the simplicity with which they live their lives.<BR/><BR/>I guess there are quite a good handful of such people around.
