MANNVAASANAI
Who doesn't like the smell of wet earth just after rain has finally kissed the ground? There is no known form of resistance to maNNvaasanai stirring one's intrinsic emotions!
In my new house, I wake up to maNNvaasanai every morning. The urchins in the colony choose a well padded area right outside my window to unwind their forces of nature. I have made a signboard in the regional language that reads "Only dogs may urinate here" and will stick it on the wall tonight.
A sight that disturbed me today was that of a foreigner, dressed in beach shirt and shorts, spraying his holy water on the wall of a building on a major road.
I know that Indians, who do all kinds of nonsense here, go to a country like Singapore and follow their rules on the road, cleanliness and so on. So I guess that the foreigner is only returning the favour.

செந்தில்/Senthil
I agree with senthil...wat u told is 100% true...more public privys shud be build in most crowded places and need to be maintained properly...government have to give importance to these things..
Thats why most of the foreign countries are more clean and well developed...
Regional language na kannada is it? okay I had posted a comment yesterday-saying eppadi ungazhukku matthum indha maadhiri ellam kannukku padudhunu-I dont see it today.
How will they b able to read the signboard in the night? I presume it is a darkplace or a dark corner.
the government should put a stright Rules to control this people.
unless some Rules are enforced ppl dont take it too seriously...... jus rules also wont help coz i feel indian government is lacking ppl to enforce them... wonder why cant they put ppl who are claiming themselves jobless for all these kinda stuff like ensuring ppl dont litter on the road....... and they follow traffic rules... etc etc..........!!

hmm.. well the indian national in singapore don't spray their holy water in walls here. Thank god for that.
But there is the occasional spitting of betel leaves. So they do their art on the walls.
LOLOL I guess.. its a case of in India do as the indians do...
Dei how dare u insult the Indians in Singapore. We never forget our "culture" wherever we go! You should come and take a look to really understand.

LOL!! Indians who live in SP(sgpre), inga vandha toilet'la mattum dhaan UCHA povaanga. ( I think...) Better to TAG the people as UCHARDS. They stick to the wall like lizARDS and make UCHaa......
Next time u see a UCHARD... imagine him in lizard suit :P.
But so sad that it happens near your house...
I have heard people say"Aathramum avasaramum avan avanuku vandha dhaan puriyum"
Last weekend i saw a a man (UCHARD). Kudumbathoda vandhu UCHARD vela panaarupa!!!!! Paavam avarum evlodhaan poruthupaar?? There must be more NEAT public toilets built. Govmt,Than spending money to buy TILES(You may see at places away from TBRM,MM magar,Chenglpet) for bus stops,which is absolutely of no USE.. they cud have buit a PT at every stop.
