Most of the time, I wait at the street end when I hear the sound of their natha-swaram (not nadaswaram), I make sure they don't enter the street and continue the mayhem for the next one hour - stopping at every house in the street. Whatever it took to keep them away, I did. It included taking a few curses. But never did I mind all that, to avoid listening to their tunes.APAM NAPAThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418350855169771466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15827537.post-1139635726111708312006-02-11T10:58:00.000+05:302006-02-11T10:58:00.000+05:30boss..u r rite..veda is blessedvisithra...still us...boss..u r rite..veda is blessed<BR/><BR/>visithra...still used? <BR/><BR/>Tp...lol..have u come out of it atleast now?<BR/><BR/>Praveen...not all of them.

But in olden days, they come early morning (4:00 am or so) during Brahma muhurtham and used to only say good words like the usual nalla kaalam porakudhu). I feel that it was a healthy superstition worth the buck or two that you call alms, to hear motivated nice words in the early morning. There can't be a better way to start a morning. However as you say the gudu gudu paandis are not authentic. They come a t 8:00 am and if you don't give them money, they start cursing. Thats what our generation got to witness. Thus I empathise with your fear. I have picked up a few quarrels with the gudugudu paandis when they visit my area. Ofcourse they also used to play the nadaswaram which has been reduced to the abaswaram (mainly MGR songs). In all it is still worth the 5 bucks.<BR/><BR/>RajeshAPAM NAPAThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418350855169771466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15827537.post-1139491503697399322006-02-09T18:55:00.000+05:302006-02-09T18:55:00.000+05:30This is so strange, just a few days ago I have bee...This is so strange, just a few days ago I have been thinking of gudu-gudu pandis. haven't seen or rather heard them anywhere except in Madurai.trishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02896403156237442180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15827537.post-1139481705125926002006-02-09T16:11:00.000+05:302006-02-09T16:11:00.000+05:30Something to add..The myth is that one of the gods...Something to add..The myth is that one of the gods(i think Lord Perumal) took the bull of a bull and has got a temple for that incarnation somewhere in Chengulput dt(i think the name of the village also sounds like some ..koil).so these guys buy a bull from that temple and take it around as a good omen for people..<BR/><BR/>J.VijayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15827537.post-1139333430863361502006-02-07T23:00:00.000+05:302006-02-07T23:00:00.000+05:30Yes, everything reminises my past when the boom bo...Yes, everything reminises my past when the boom boom madu used to bring me surprises and make us come running to th everandah to watch this colorful animal!<BR/><BR/>BTW Ashok, did ya take these pics yourself?
