I thought the stupidity of praying to GODS for rain was restricted to vedic hindus only.

  Cut all the trees and sell them, then pray! like we do in TN, it will definitely rain!
  
  If it still does'nt work then marry two donkeys, that will do it.

  How will it rain when all the trees have been cut? We have destroyed all of our forests and our wild animals, poisoned our ecosystem and our politicians have been very clever to distract us with other things while they have been removing the sandal and teak. Let us marry 10 donkeys! We have sown the wind and now it is time to reap the whirlwind. I pray not for rain only but that our politicians should get good sense. But that does not work. i was told that Kaalan (Yama) himself is scared of having them there .

  May be donate 100 elephants to Guruvayur temple, it may rain. may be ask jayendra sankarar, the formula for rain, why check with pope!
  
  If sankarar is busy with politics, then we may turn to pope!

  suddenly remembered one of M R Radha's dialogue in some movie ('Paavamannippu' I guess..)
  "Am I a bad person? Only yesterday I married 'Arasamaram' and 'Aalamaram' as well as poured milk on ant's hive!!"

  Tamilan-1,
  
  'Jayendrar' or 'Sankarar' is what the forward looking backwards say
  Sankar or Sankaran or Jayendran is what a Tamilan should say.
  
  Have you heard of a Forward looking Backward say -Kalaignar, Perarignar Anna or Thanthai Periyar ??? They say only the name.
  
  I know that you a Tamilan know the etiquette, courtesy and all that. Do away with it as far as Soundies are concerned.

  thank you :) for your welcome. I find this thread a lot more refreshing. I went to some other threads and found only hate there. Yes, we have destroyed our ecosystem and now we have problems with the climate. when I was younger, my grandmother would predict correctly when it would rain or it would be windy or when thunderclouds would form according to the malayalam calender. But now that has all changed. We have attempted to destroy nature and nature is paying us back.
