"Inrou oru thagaval", was a popular AIR program on weekdays at 7:40 am during my school days. I am not sure if the program is being aired even today . its a 5 min program and the agenda was pretty straight forward. A small story with a big message and the program ended with a small joke.
Initially I started listening to the program to keep up my time. The broadcast was my breakfast time during school days. During the course of the time , I became a big fan of the program for its short and sweet stories. The hero of the program was Thenkachi Ko swaminathan whoz there in the foto right above. His voice suits a grandfather's voice who tells bedtime stories to his grand children. the morals and teachings in the program come a long way in ones life.Mr Swaminathan, seems to have retired from AIR and seems to have joined SUN TV . I just happened to see him in the morning show during my breakfast at 9:00 AM the other day and I was reminded of some of the stories narrated by him.
One of the nice stories that I still remember goes like this .
" There were 2 buddhists monks . They were crossing a river. They saw a beautiful woman who was struggling to cross the river. She asked the monks to help her cross the river by carrying her in their shoulder. One of the monks said it was a sin to carry woman. but the other monk carried her along and helped her cross the river. The woman thanked the monk and lleft on her own way. After abt 10 mins , the monk didnt help the female told the other."Our Guru has asked us not carry woman".
For this the monk just replied , "I have left the woman in the bank, but it seems you have carried all until here ". This monk realised his folly .
Sucha small story with a huge meaning aint it..

Yes it was really a good program. It is still in our memory though the narrator had passed away 3 years ago.
Yes it was a wonderful program during those days. We are still liking his stories though the narattor has passed away 3 years ago.
After a long gap Thenkachi was invited as a guset for a show called Ari giri Assembly a all nonsense show by Baski and Chitti Babu and it had completed six months of broadcasting.
The show went of usual lollu by the ari gir team and Thenkcohi;s smart but funny answers. At the end of the show the guests asked Thenkachi to tell a kutti kadhai.
Thais is what he said.
Two patients visited a doctor and had same symptoms of not able to concentrate or think propoerly. The Doctor examined the guys and said that there Barin were rusted as it was rarely used and he had to clean them uo. the two patients were asked to remove their brain and keeo it for cleaning and come and fix it int the evening. The evening the guys never turned uo, weeks passed and they never turned up. the Doctor safely put the brain into a bottled solution and when about his job, After almost 6 months the Roctor say the same patients at a market place, he asked them "your braion is with me, and what have you been doing for all the six months without brain,"
Pat came the reply " we are successfully running a show called Ari Giri Assembly for last 6 month"
That was a real cool story
