While tiruvalluvar is deciphered by Konar , perhaps in future , SVK has to be deciphered by V V Suresh. Am atleast happy to the extent, atleast our Suresh is able to appreciate SVK's reviews (including the language), which i am not able to . Kudos to him for the translation making lay man (with normal english) to understand .

This reminds of a joke in Jaya TV concert of Sanjay ( 2 years back). Though deviating from the topic , i post it for the humour

In the Q & A session , one question was why you all cannot be vaggeyakkaras like Sivan , Goplakrishna Barathi etc..

Sanjay replied -- Naangal ellam konar notes padichhu pass pannava . Engala poi pattu ezhutha sollarel.
In english ( We all passed with the help of Konar Notes . How can we compose songs)?

I can relate to this especially when I have to wake up in the middle of the night to prepare the baby formula (milk) and present it to our baby. I'd prefer to listen to saint Thyagaraja's music any day!

You are not doing so bad yourself. That casual reference from the "popular" Ars Poetica gave me a pretty big inferiority complex from which I still have not recovered.
In any case, there are literally hundreds of exceptions to your "NRI" rule - especially from previous generations. I wouldn't think people like Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan or the Rt. Hon. Srinivasa Sastry could be termed as NRIs and their felicity in English was phenomenal. In many ways, I think Indians have helped make English the universal language that it has become now.

Have you gotten used to that dull periphery around the shoulder area of your shirts after such formula presentation?

Mohan/Suresh - from personal experience, I can tell you that a big (untouted) advantage of nursing is that dads can easily get out of these 'formulaic' presentations, and keep the periphery of their shirts quite brilliant!
