துபாய் குறுக்குச் சந்து & a Straight STreet !!!!

 

Crossroad – literal translation is : குறுக்கு தெரு.  However, the idiom – to be  at  crossroads  would mean : to be at a stage in your life when you have to make a very important decision. 

Vetri Kodikattu was a film about the travails of people trying to go to middle East in search of earning good money, but losing out, cheated by Agents.  Vadivelu plays the role of a foreign-returned and his confrontation with Parthiban are hilarious.  

When Vadivelu asks Parthiban  -  Dubai 'la nee iruntha address sollu. Without  battling eyelid – he would say - No 6 Vivekanandar Theru, Dubai Kurukku Sandhu, Dubai Main Road, Dubai.  So the address is iconic !!  :  6 விவேகானந்தர் தெரு, துபாய் குறுக்குச் சந்து, துபாய் மெயின் ரோடு,

 

You know Roads, Streets, By lanes, Santhu, kurukku-santhu and more !!  Ever heard or seen a Straight Street [நேர் தெரு] !!! -  here is one at Poonamallee near Sri Varadharaja perumal temple – Thirukachi nambigal avathara sthalam – the “Nambi” referred is of course – Acaryar Thirukachi Nambigal !!
