Crossroad – literal translation is : குறுக்கு தெரு.However, the idiom – to be at crossroadswould mean : to be at a stage in your life when you have to make a very important decision.
Vetri Kodikattu was a film about the travails of people trying to go to middle East in search of earning good money, but losing out, cheated by Agents.Vadivelu plays the role of a foreign-returned and his confrontation with Parthiban are hilarious.
When Vadivelu asks Parthiban -Dubai 'la nee iruntha address sollu. Without battling eyelid – he would say - No 6 Vivekanandar Theru, Dubai Kurukku Sandhu, Dubai Main Road, Dubai. So the address is iconic !!:6 விவேகானந்தர் தெரு, துபாய் குறுக்குச் சந்து, துபாய் மெயின் ரோடு,
You know Roads, Streets, By lanes, Santhu, kurukku-santhu and more !!Ever heard or seen a Straight Street [நேர் தெரு] !!! -here is one at Poonamallee near Sri Varadharaja perumal temple – Thirukachi nambigal avathara sthalam – the “Nambi” referred is of course – Acaryar Thirukachi Nambigal !!
