ttt very well-made short video on the function. liked the song a lot (yaayum yaayum from sagaa). great editing which goes with the visuals ! – especially observe from 55 sec to 60 sec – “paakaatha nerathil..” and the “kulungi kulungi” – also 3.14- “kaadal vasapatta arikuriyo” (when nervously showing fingers)!warm congrats to Aadi and UPM. great start ! everyone looking so good in the video. i really think we should circulate this video among our whatsapp groups mukunda – we shud always be careful of these “semmaya kalaaikira” uncles” also looking forward soon for your USA-samaraadhanai, UK-samaraadhanai cheenu maama – pl dont mistake me. I saw darbar last week (it is in amazon). i did not like it at all !totally no logic. Sorry maama !!same rajni – who gave us such great movies like mullum malarum, bhuvana oru.., aarilirunthu…, and later baasha, muthu, annamalai small request to napadians ( esp seniors) (pl dont mistake me). corona is now in India, and next 20 days is crucial. pl restrict ( or even better, try to avoid) visits to temples, gatherings, public places. I really hope that i am wrong, but reading about how china and europe are suffering now(inspite of better healthcare, more obedient citizens and less density of population) is making me very nervous corona is a very serious matter. it is very much possible that i am fully wrong – so please please feel free – all of you can make fun of me later on, do as much “kindal” possible on me (later, if i am unnecessarily panicking)but atleast till april 1st week, pl be VERY VERY CAREFUL.europe is in a bad shape today. if india goes thru stage 3/4 etc – then we will have a VERY BIG PROBLEM note sent to my family group (napad) on coronachecklist of things to be done for lockdown ( we have already done the following at our side in blr)- take grocery for atleast 2 months. in case of non-perishable grocery, u can even keep supplies upto 4-5 months- milk – keep 8-10 packets of tetrapack milk – this is valid for 6 months – in case milk supply goes off- all grocery items which u bring into house -pl clean them and use them- inside ur apartment try not to use the lift. use staircase and do not touch the grills in the staircase- if possible use gloves- if possible, withdraw from atm and keep some 20-30K cash at all times in house- which is ur closest covid govt hospital ? do u have their nos ready with u ?- hand sanitisers – if possible use alcohol sanitiser (+60% alcohol) every 2 hours u can wipe ur hands- keep one sanitiser at door and other in ur dining table or room – so pl keep using them when u remember- make sure that one lpg cylinder is full (the other in use). if possible, keep a induction stove on standby- if possible, keep 1-2 emergency lights on standyby incase electricity goes- if possible, buy 2 water cans (20 ltr) in sealed condition and keep them safe somewhere. open them only if emergency – otherwise use ur corporation water or bore water. also keep 1-2 buckets of water always full.- keep all ur regular and non-regular medicines with u. – imp tip : HCQS-400 (chloroquine) is available in medical shops now. pl buy 1 or 2 strips. Adults – u can start taking 1 tablet every week (after some food). no side-effects, so dont worry ( i have been taking for last 1 week)- pl try to manage house work urself – ask ur maid not to come home- hope u have dettol solution – if possible keep a hand spray and use them every day to spray house- keep ur phones charged all the time (amma has 3 phones now – 08025545455, 9742766951 and also 7975781614)- n95 mask if at all u go outside house for emergency.- ordinary mask if possible inside the house. while this is not useful too much, only advantage is – it will prevent u from touching nose, mouth, eyes somewhat- only 1 person from house goes out to buy any essential items. and when that person comes back home, he goes straight to bathroom to take bath, and clothes to be discarded- pl remember that we are all dependent on outside world for 5 main things – electricity, water, internet, phone and TV cable. pl be mentally prepared – we may lose access to any of these if things go really bad – but also remember that these 5 things will not matter when it comes to our “life”most most important – we in napad are very social and keep meeting our other relatives and apartment neighbours and friends all the time. pl try ur best to avoid any body from coming to ur house, or u going and meeting anybody. today’s nilavaram – it is very much acceptable*——————-I am sorry if all this above seems to be “too much” or “over-reaction”. it has already happened in italy and spain. new york is in bad shape today. mumbai (maharastra has 100 cases) is in curfew. karnataka also catching up with lockdown.TN only has 9 cases till now, so they are going slow. many people still not understanding seriousness. but in 2-3 days, TN will also start feeling the virus. So please please start taking precautions imm and if anyone has any other tip, pl let us knowps : over last 2-3 weeks, many whatsapp forwards on treatment, ayurveda, have come to both napad and other groups. these forwards are actually confusing. if anyone is exactly following any of the treatments prescribed, pl let us know abt ur experience. otherwise i think we need to ignore such forwards (and if possible, not send them at all) because it gets more confusing shruti is present admin. but she is an NRI (though in chennai now), so no problem they will check and see – which person started this gp, who left the gp suddenly, who came back to the gp suddenly, who is in blr (IT capital of world), who is IT person herself etc etc. Based on all these conditions, first thing they will do is to arrest abhinaya I suddenly realised that i have been made an admin of napad whatsapp now !! (alongwith some 7-8 others !). anusha, mukunda welcome ! Abhi is also back in action as our Super-Admin ! Semma comedy
