Hello and welcome to my site!
I was born to Dr. K. N. Raman and Mrs. Meenal Raman as the second of their five children.
I achieved proficiency in Bharatha Natyam and Carnatic music during my school days. I graduated with Distinction from Madras University in 1966, with Physics as my Major subject. I won the National Merit Scholarship for higher studies.
I have diplomas in Carnatic Music, Journalism, Hindi and Fine arts. I have published 72 articles in The Young World of The Hindu between 1993 and 2008.
I am grateful to the thousands of Google Images which made this blog of 1630 parallel proverbs possible.
The complete list of my blogs can be accessed by clicking on the link: My blog of blogs!. Clicking on any of those blogs will give an introduction to it and navigate you to the website.

Madam, an excellent job, indeed! Most useful as a reference. Just happened to visit your blog for English Equivalent of the Tamil proverb: “Kakkai Utkara Panampalam Vizhunda Kathai”. But could not find it. Can you please help? Thank you in advance. MK.
Dear Mr. Mohan Kumar,
Only after I started collecting the Tamil proverbs, I realized what a vast and wonderful treasure of ‘words of wisdom’ we have and do not use.
A proverb is said to be ‘A short sentence born out of a long experience’. I am going to add more proverbs soon. I am already working on it.
The particular proverb you have referred to means “Rare coincidences for which a person should not take credit”.
Thank you for your feedback. Please read my other blogs also.
You will find all the links in my home page. Please share them with your friends.
with best wishes and regards,
Visalakshi Ramani.
