Few weeks
before, TeaShop Talks wrote about strange characters in Tamil Nadu, , it talks
about characters in general and doesn't indicate any particular person –
Disclaimer L.
This week Ananda Vikakan there was an article somewhat similar to my post.
The
following few from the magazine with my list,
- Most people are obsessed with Kattai Bag, especially ladies.
- After or while eating biriyani definitely a coke\pepsi is must, geeranathuku romba nalladu- pati sonangee.
- Talk about prohibiting pirated CD/DVD’s, but will be ready to watch movies in the thirutudvd.com\torrent or pirated disk. They will “proudly” say .. “I downloaded it” as if they solved a Ramanujam’ Math problem.
- Constant honking while driving. There are some geniuses who tail behind the speeding ambulances.

- In departmental stores, they don’t use plastic bags for consumers because corporation has banned it, but the products are packed using plastic materials!. One rule for manufacture\distributor and one rule for customer-ra (Typical Tamil to English translation).
Endnote: After doing all the listed above, they will write an article. Not strange !!
For the rule regarding plastic, i think the govt. has a measurement that the material should be above 50 microns in which case it can be used. The ban is in place only for covers lesser than 50 microns, i suppose - that ultra thin covers given in petti kadais
ReplyDeleteYes Pradeep, ur correct. There were some departmental stores who charged consumers to use plastic bag.
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere every plastic is recyclable, provided there is a proper waste management, who has the waste management ? Its with the local corporation, educating the ppl to have separate-wastes. So in-order to reduce their workload they just banned it.
