Again in response to the post of Rukmini Swathi Rishabhapriya about some rich people not wearing poonool and and following anushtanams etc and her patti asking her to have her hair tightened and wear saree for koil and functions. Nowadays, i find answering by means of a post instead of commenting on it is easier because a post can run into any number of pages and i can add one more in my number of posts. Jokes apart let me deal with the rich first. Yes they are rich and dont follow anushtanams. I will tell you a story of a family which is rich and did not follow anushtanams. I am not cursing anybody or telling anyone this is going to happen to you if you dont follow anushtnams. The family was what you can call a filthy rich. have flashy cars with servants even to lay their bed. They had two children and both of them were special children. Nowadays special schools are available for them and there are doctors offering counselling both to the parents and to the children. Think of those days when these facilities are not available. We can talk how they should handle the kids and how much they must love them. But in practical life the agony of the parents cannot be explained. I am not telling the children were like this because of their not following anushtanams but this is what i have seen. you can draw your own conclusions. One thing is for sure. Bank Balances, Flashy Cars and Palatial Bungalows does not constitute richness and surely it wont bring happiness. It may get you pleasures but not pleasantness.
Regarding the tying of hair: I think there are scientific reasons. Have ever been a piece of hair went into your mouth along with your breakfast, lunch or dinner. That too the long hair of girls. I had experienced it and it took me half kg of butter, an injection and three days to cure the after effects of pulling out the hair from the throat. That is why people use to do their hair (pinnuthal) in the backyard of the house so that the hair does not fall within the house and travels to kitchen. Try to pick up a hair piece from the floor and you will know why your paatti says so. It will be very difficult in the day time itself. Regarding saree it enhances the beauty along with kunkumam. In those days most of the marriage alliances were started on seeing the girl first in the temples and marriages. We people are old fashioned and that is why we are simply repeating what we did as we are living a lovely life till date. We are telling those things to you in the hope you will also get such a wonderful life if you fallow what we fallowed.‪#‎rskpolambals‬#
