'When you're at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on.'

A few days ago....

Sevili: Devi, naam indha udaiyil sella kaaranam???

Adhuvum indha koodaigalai ellam thooki kondu???

Indha maadhathil makkaluku viragugal kedaikkuma???

Adhanal dhaan virkka pogirom.

Sevili: Oru maadhiriyaga Purigiradhu, Devi.

In actuality, she didn't understand. Sangamithra knew her maid didn't understand a word she uttered. With smile, she proceeded to walk into the first village.

Sangamithra: veragu... veragu... veragu vaangaliyo veragu...

She started selling when she saw some ladies walking towards them in the street.

Lady 1: yeannamma nee Eesan manaivi dhaane??

Sangamithra: Amanga...

Lady 2: Idhu ennamma velai???

Sangamithra: Idhule enna ma irukku??? Ellam oru thozhil dhaane... en purushanuku udhavanum le. Avar kaiye paathe kanji kudikka mudiyuma???

Sangamithra smiled innocently.

Lady 1: yean ma??? Enga veetuleiye veragu irukke... ippo edhuku indha viyavaram??

She sat down on the ground and showed them the firewood.

Lady 2: Idhellam romba nalla irukke...

Amma.. Idhe thechi kulithal thangam pola minnuviga...
