Life has changed in fast lane ! - perhaps modern day kids do not play as much – simple and silly games, beliefs too have changed !!
A couple of decades ago, when one spotted a Crane (Kokku) – kids (especially girl children) would rub their fingernails – கொக்கே! கொக்கே! பூ போடு !! - asking heavenly for white patch on nail, considering it to be a beauty !!
Having rubbed many a times, many of us found that nails looked very ordinary .. .. years later learnt that a patchy white nail is not good to have as it could mean a low red blood cell count. Pale White nails could be indicative of any or a combination of the conditions including anemia, overuse of nail polish, weak nails, and some other diseases.
Moving away, one need not go to exotic places to see flowers – just now saw these 3 flying over Triplicane !!
