A relative visiting from India talking to my wife at a party in an admonishing tone – ‘Enna, appadiyae olliyavae irrukae, sappadavae maata polla…’ (You are thin as usual. Don’t you eat well?). The same relative talking about her daughter-in-law with pride to someone else at the same party – ‘Ava nalla weight korachita. Kalyana time eppadi irundhalo athaey mathiri nalla olliya irrukka…’ (She has lost a lot of weight. She is nice and thin just like she was on the day of her wedding).
