MARAVU (SLIGHT OBSTRUCTION-HIDING) 

Dearfriends,

 

Sometimeshiding is bad. Some occasions we have to hide things.  In certain 
other occasions many things are tobe done in a maravu. 

Ihave wondered what purpose is served with a dim light in the room from UPS and 
mylap top is ON with battery during the power failure. Key board is not visible 
with that light. The lightonly helps to switch it OFF with difficulty. 

But during the day, key board can be seenin the sunlight and the battery help 
to continue the work.  

Aboveall in the back ground INTERNAL CLOCK is run. If there is problem with 
internal battery, we have to set right the timeevery time the computer is 
opened. 

Sothough not outwardly seen, many things are done in the back ground with 
thebattery, similarly some of our hiding things. Today my posting isabout 
maravu ( Hiding) 

Sincerely,

GopalaKrishnan 01-06-2013. 

1. Brahmopadesam. 

Brahmopadesamis done in the covering of a silk dhoti by the father to his son 
in thepresence of  mother. Surely Sasthrikalstoo inside the silk dhoti covering 
to correctly guide the father. Irrespectiveof  the invitees , Brahmopadesam has 
tobe done in privacy. 

2.Renuka and Parasurama. 

Parasuramawas the son of Renuka and sage Jamadagni. While bathing if privacy 
was maintained more bythe Yaksha, the Renuka incident would not have occurred. 

 Parasurama would not have become angry withKarna if  his foster father would 
havetold how he got Karna through the floating box.

 

Many times we may think the Mahabharathastory would have been different if the 
birth of Karna was told to other pandava brothers by Kunti.
While crossing Ganga in an occasion,the boat being rowed by her. He created a 
covering with fog the boat they weretravelling, while having the relation in 
the middle of the boat. The Great sageVedavyasa was born in their  relation.
 4. Dritharashtra Aalinganam. 

Afterthe war Dritharashtra wanted to embrace all the Pandavas.  He was a very 
strengthy man. The aim was to embrace and smash Bhima alone during embracing. 

LordKrishna knew what was hiding in the mind by Dritharashtra  pretending 
innocent. So Lord Krishna placed an IRON IDOL  of Bhima instead of asking Bhima 
to go beforethe blind king. Pata pata pata… The iron idol broke to pieces 
onembracing!!! 

5. The pride of Droupathi

 Theentire episode of the mango was a play by Lord Krishna, hiding his aim to 
remove thepride of Droupathi in the back ground. The incident occurred 
duringforest life. 

6. Collection of funds  for temple festivals.

 Thecommittee mostly would  make double theestimated expenditure 
sinceunforeseen expenditures could occur by collecting funds . If thepersons 
collecting are told of the estimated amount has collected already,their 
interest in collection would get dim. At the neck of the moment how tocollect 
money?

 7. New year gifts



 Oneof the nearby stationary shops to my home in Chennai  would  compliment 
excellent key chains during newyear along with other items. So if occasional 
purchasers  are there, the owner used to tell the   customers to come in the 
evening that wayand he would  provide the valuablecompliment . 

Therequired item would be there, but for giving the compliment, even they do 
notmake the sale unless emergent to regular customers… 

8. Coriander and curry leaves

 Duringthe time of scarcity one can see the merchants disposing other 
purchaserskeeping customers  to provide at leastsmall quantity during scarcity. 
So far in Chennai they are KOSIRU. 

9. Multipurpose and variety shops.

 Inthese shops one can see earlier stocks always kept to the front and 
recentstocks in the backside. Expiry of certain items is a criterion. If we go 
to theshops we can take the items kept in the back searching for the new 
arrival. 

But these earlier stocks are PUSHED oncustomers  during DOOR DELIVERY. If at 
all we ask for fresh items, older stocks would be brought telling, they are the 
latestavailable. 

10. Children items and store room items




 Mostlyfor children, stationary items would  beprocured more and will be 
periodically given. This is because damage couldoccur by their use. 
Evenchildren will know such storage, but they will not take all together.

 Inthe store too, emergent required items would  be procured more and slightly 
kept hidden, notto be in hand reach so that contingencies can be met. Mainly 
this includesdelicious biscuits and  items like cashewfried, badam etc, 

Inthe refrigerator pickles and any sweet items would be kept in the most 
hiddenlocation so that diabetics should not have an easy hand on it. 
Update- Early covid 19 period one had to produce prescription for getting 
paracetamoldue to misuse..11. Ela maravu Kai maravu.


Thisis told of telling things slightly indirectly but pointing out things. The 
person concerned can understand the same. 

Inmany TV talks  we can see the persongiving the  talk, do not  like to reveal 
the identity . So his face would be shown not clear. 

12. scratching identity . 

Iam not sure recharge cards where serial number of it appears on scratching 
isstill in vouge. Some Gold shops give a compliment- scratching card. 
Accordingto the item printed, the compliment would be given. The lucky could 
get some times a gold coin andmostly others  a small bag!! 

13. Olivu maravillatha samsaram. 

Somepeople talk with all frankness at all times. They cannot hide or choosy. 
Suchpeople are liked in most contexts. In certain occasions theirtalks could be 
dis liking also. This is because every body cannot be to hisstandard. 

14. Compound wall.

 Thecompound wall is a maravu for the home. The closing of doors is a maravu 
forthe room. It is not ethic to open a closed room without knocking even with 
inthe home.

15. Valavil thirivil sookshikkuka 

Inthe road where buses, carts, cars etc are running, if there are more bends 
andcorners clear vision may fail, accident chances are more and alert is 
required.In the hill section it is still more important. Normally while 
negotiating suchpoints horn sound isproduced for alertness and surely speed is 
reduced. 

 16. Marachhu kettal 

Onthose olden days  when posh bath roomsand toilets were not there,  in 
thecompound small partition was made for toilets and bath rooms using 
braidedcoconut leaves or mud wall etc. Some times called marappura for the 
toilet.

 Evennow people in urgency would  try tolocate slightly a shaded area for 
nature’s call in the road while walking .Especially those who do not have  
muchcontrol would  not look more to thisaspect. Only a secludedarea is 
sufficient.

 17. AAyirum kallazm paranjum oru kalyanamnatathhanam.



 

There is a saying even we can tellhundred lies to accomplish a marriage.One 
thing is sure- While settling a marriage there would  not be 100 % 
transparency.  This could be of health, diseases,  minor physical deficiencies, 
operations etcetc. Sometimes even qualification may  have some hiding. 

Ido recollect the story of Jayaram marrying a girl , thinking she is a 
humandoctor- But she was aveterinary   doctor.  And people coming for treatment 
from her andjayaram compelling to do something to dispose them… Film name- 
VADHU DOCTOR AANU… 

18. 2nd hand shop

 All2nd hand shops may have things with some deficiency.  If the same is told, 
things could not  be sold. It is for the purchaser to see forit. Annual sale 
ordiscount sale, one should know, they could have some deficiency including 
oldstock and clearing.  What isthe purpose of purchasing a silk sari for Rs 
500-00 in discount sale and onopening find weaving has deficiency or border has 
colour mutilation- It is puton 2nd sale on account of that. 

Moreabout hide like the elephant’s ear hiding its body, human eyes not 
clearlyseeing etc in another posting.
