CHAPTER 132- SHARP SULKINESS OF WOMEN
***
132/04. யாரினும் காதலம் என்றேனா ஊடினாள்
யாரினும் யாரினும் என்று?

132/04. Yarinum kadhalam endrrenaa udinaall
Yarinum yarinum endrru?

132/04. 'When I said I love her more than any other girls,
She mistook me and cried that among all those girls
How you picked me for your love? '
***
Akshaykumar: It is a big problem for him
To deal with such an incorrigible girl.

Bhagvaan: A peculiar girl she is
To find fault always
With whatever he says,
And accuses him for this.

Many girls take upper hands
Over their henpecked husbands
Who can't open their mouths
Or protest for their high handedness.

It is a lifelong problem,
To face by all of them,
What cannot be cured?
Yes, it must be endured.
***
132/05. இம்மைப் பிறப்பில் பிரியலம் என்றேனாக்
கண்நிறை நீர்கொண் டனள்.

132/05. Immaip pirrappil piriyalam endrrenaak
Kannnirrai neerkonn danall.

132/05. 'I told her that I will not leave her in this life.
Immediately she thought I will leave her in next life
Showing her eyes full of tears.'
***
Akshaykumar: This type of girl it is difficult for anyone to manage
After her marriage.

Bhagvaan: How can she shed tears
When he says he'll not leave her
As a promise in her present life,
That he'll leave her in her next life?

A controversial type she is,
Suspecting whatever he says,
And it is difficult for him
To tackle her every time.

Either he must tolerate her
Or run away from her
Taking at once renunciation
And do penance somewhere.
***
132/06. உள்ளினேன் என்றேன்மற்று என்மறந்தீர் என்றென்னைப்
புல்லாள் புலத்தக் கனள்.

132/06. Ullinane endrranematrru enmarrandheer endrrennaip
Pullaall pulaththak kanall.

132/06. 'I told her that I remembered you when left you.
She asked me, 'So, you remembered once and
In the meantime why have you forgotten me? '
So, saying she avoided me when she just came to hug me.'
***
Akshaykumar: This type of controversial woman
It is difficult for anyone to manage.

Bhagvaan: Long back when he left her
He didn't send any message to her,
She was worried about him
As he didn't care at that time.

That anger is still in her mind.
This opportunity she found,
And asked him, he remembered her
But why later on he had forgotten her?

Her question is apt for the occasion,
And he has to answer that question.
For that he'll take an excuse,
He was busy in the business.
