    Hi Friends,

    I have also read this book long back when I was working in a leading book shop. It was very hilarious. We never forget all the characters and the MAPPILLAI AZHAIPPU scene in Washington.:clap:clap:clap:clap:clap:clap:clap:clap

    It is one of the classic humour masterpieces in contemporary tamil literature.

    I have read and reread it so many times and feel so refreshed after
    the exercise.

    I can never forget the characters especially ROCKFELLER MAMA and ROCKFELLER MAMI...

    How she eagerly awaits sambandi sandai HOW SHE ADMIRES appallams, THey trying to figure out the start and ending of a Jangeri etc.

    My copy is from my mothers collection and it costed her 75 Paise and I

    Have read out snippets of it to my son also...
