Hi Friends,
It appears to me poTTee and poDugoo were given in our culture
boquets and brickbats in equal proportions. Who got how much of
what was just a matter of the degree to which one was poTTee/poDugoo!
Probably one's color added to/subtracted from!
"oDDoo poDugoo" is complimentary!
But, poTTi vaaniki puTTeDu buddhulu! Hats off to the poTTees!
(poTTi pleeDaru, an old film, was made by padmanaabham!)
If you are too poDugu, you may be at a disadvantage!
Even a 5'4' girl is considered too tall!
You sure remember what
Amitabh Baccan went thru during his initial years in Bollywood!
It's interesting to observe what color&height jointly achieve!
tellagaa poDuggaa is certainly flattering!
But nallagaa poTTigaa isn't!
The other two combinations, nallagaa poDuggaa and telaagaa poTTigaa
fall somewhere in between!
(In vadhoo/varu selection, isn't it common to hear all the above?)
In India, it also depends on the region you are from!
(Will north american telugoos frown at my sentnces
that are ending in prepositions?)
Some of my friends from Maharashtra really are
aggressive and cunning! Some say it's so becasue they are poTTees!
In several street shows and circuses that i saw,
there certainly were a very poTTee and a very poDugoo
making slapstick humour!
Were the seven dwarfs (of Snowwhite and ...) black?
