In the tradition bound state of Tamilnadu some startling facts have come out to the fore that typifies the hypocrisy that rules our nation most and more so in the land of the Tamils. Masters in the art of hypocrisy the surprising, not to me, fact is that women, yes ladies, of Tamilnadu guzzle more 'sarakku' aka booze than their male counterparts. Do not be misled by the crowd of the males standing in front of the 'oyin' aka wine shops. Most of them are making the buy for some woman who could be the primary wife or the second or the third. It depends on who provides the 'dabbu' aka money. The male of the species despite the macho obligatory handlebar upper growth on the face is a rather hen-pecked creature when it comes to having a tipple.
