After those long threads of samasyA pUraNalu and avadhAnamulu, here is
somethnig different that you may be interested in. In this series -
'cilipi padyAlu', let's pick up some punny and funny pieces for the
enjoyment and entertainment of the readers. The only golden rule for a poem
to be included is that the 'padyam or pajjem..:), if you prefer to call it
that way', should have some P/Fun in it. It may be following a specified
CandO meter or it could be 'CandO-compatible' by not following the 'big(i)-
yati' or it could even be a complete 'non-CandO' type, with some inherent
rhythm which gives it a nice reading. It could also be a series of poems
on a particular subject, but let us keep the golden rule as - "P/Fun and
enjoyment/entertainment", without offending any sensitive souls.

Once again, I have no intentions of offending any of the CandO/non-CandO
followers here and urge them to take this as an experiment aimed at the
entertainment and enjoyment of those interested netters who want a sigh
of relief from the thermo-nuclear discussions..:) I hope that, this
inspires our friends by triggering off that latent "cilipi" nature
hidden deep inside, to come up with some really p/funny pajjElu.

I am starting out with a couple of them now and invite others, to join me in
the run..:-). The pun is in the 4 th line in the follwoing two "ACs - (ATa
veladi Compatibles), which I wanted to pose as samasyalu, but, later, thought
that this is a better place for them --

cilipi padyAlu

P.S. : This first set may seem to be a sequel to 'samasyA pUraNa padyAlu',
but hold on, you have some p/funny "vEmana pajjElu" and "nArla vAri
ceLukulu", coming up later..:-)
