Pranam Today's question and answers may not be taken as serious but some elements of thinking are passed on; I say this because what was or were being compared as this one or that one-really have plus and minus points. And loko binna ruchi and people would prefer what they like. But for afternoon session gossip they are ponderables. Here Ouvayars' Rarest, Biggest, more painful , poorest , a million equivalent poems speak on dots. Also see how people who have 3 or more ids with 40 members have to delve within a small circle having to hit the good.?!!. Chandra babu song sirippu varudhu I am reminded of.
