    Dear Shanthi,
    Yes, some of them are outdated as they are iirrelevant in the modern times. Just for the fun of enjoying I had compiled them. The proverb, " Aduppudhum peNkaLukku padipethaRku?" is also one like that. But " Thottilai attum kai thollulakai aLum kai," is still a valid one. Thank you for your comments,
    Love,
    PS

    Dear Saraswathi,

    Dear AC,
    Thank you. There is truth in most of the age old proverbs. But some of them have become outdated due to modern trend.
    Love,
