I found the AIB amusing in parts. It did not shock me though. Many of the upper class in India normally throw around expletives in English and are proud about their ability to do so without hesitation. What worried me was the false smiles and laughs. I am sure no one takes a rightinyourface abuse lightly. That too on television. So how would things progress from that point on. It would probably be tit for tat and continue for ages in that fashion. Some of it would affect people who were not part of it. All in the name of fun and humour.
Chamathu, anyone?
I never stick to my words. So here it goes: The Tamilian people can be classified into different categories. This classification is based on their character, virtues, educational qualification, skin colour, length of hair, size of nose...ok you now get the drift. I am only going to talk about one category at a time. Today is the one which people are scared of falling into, it is called the 'Chamathu' category. As you age, you might like being classified as 'Chamathu', but as a kid, it is a dreaded category. Ok now let me explain what 'Chamathu' is. Lets start with the guy, because I am a woman and would love to give the first chance to men :p A Chamathu guy is one who oils his hair regularly, recites his slokas at appropriate points of time during the day, makes earnest conversations with 80 year old thathas who spit more than they talk, goes to the temple regularly [Note: going to the temple everyday would make him a 'pazham*'], does not talk to girls u
