Quite funny. Haven't seen these before.
ROTFL. I hope bloggers like Chakra and Ramya don't take offence.
I liked 'Jambulingam'...... too good.. LOL
I remember seeing a water lorry in Chennai with the name Venkata-jalam.
Sorry couldn't help this but hey, it's only your online handle and nothing derogatory. So, here goes:
MUNImma - saintly woman!
:-)
kadiyo kadi marana kadi
LOL@Sengamalam :-)))))
Super :)
hey thennavan, maybe the origin of munimma is what you have described......
probably for Vishal (big guy) is also the same.......
Chakarapani can also be the nickname for someone like Shoaib Chuck-ter, I mean Akhtar........
Thennavan, I prefer to think munimma = St.Mom although my kids might disagree ;-)
I probably should have written it the other way, the description = name. But all's fair in jest ;-^
Jambulingam is hte best munima
Aiy! Kalakkala Irrukku! :-)
Incidentally I find both mine & my wife's name in the list.. think its a coincidence that the names are listed next to each other.
ramya is the best, now my elder sister is gonna kill me
