Happy Vishu!


Iniya Tamil puthaandu nall vaazhthukkal!
Shubh Shubh bengali new year!
Happy Varusha Porapu!

I just checked on the tamil daily sheet calendar with the little ezhuthukootti tamil i could manage and realized that the name of this tamil new year is "Virodhi"... i'm wondering what it actually means - 'unfriendly'... i hope not!

Does anyone know ?

  2. I guess you are right about Virodhi. This year will keep us away from everything that is unfriendly.

  3. Is that so ? I thought or rather heard 'virodhi' in tamil meant 'scaling great heights' as against the sanskrit virodhi ???
