Andrum Indrum

In my grandma's generation, coconuts were got directly cut down from trees in the backyard, then fibres removed, outer shell cracked open, white edible part grated and used in cooking;
In my mom's generation, coconuts were bought from stores and then outer shell cracked open, white edible part grated and used in cooking;
My generation, frozen grated coconut packet is cut open and used in cooking;
My daughter's generation might just read it in the ingredients section of ready-made meals!!

In my grandma's generation, they hardly knew their exact birthday;
In my mom's generation, they were aware of their exact birthday;
my generation knew to celebrate their birthdays;
my daughter's generation start planning their birthdays as soon as that year's party get over!!!

இன்று டார்ரொ ஜோசியம் பார்க்கிறார்கள்!!
(indru tarrot josiyam paarkiraargal!)

Welcome back, good to see you back in action. All the examples for Andrum Indrum were very apt, esp. the coconut.

welcome back :)

Agree with birthdays part..

Coconuts..my guess is that today's generation will soon wake up(around 2015-2020) to the benefits of healthy eating and learn to avoid readymade meals.

Astrology...may soon lose its mystique in a rapidly shrinking world and will end up as an unwanted relic for fixing matches(Or rather twisted to reinforce the choices that have already been made)
