Timing by Vaariyaar

It was an evening. The temple was crowded. People were eager to listen to Krubaananda Vaariyaar. He used to say some devotional stories in temples. That day too he was doing so.

He wants the people to listen to him. But how to confirm it? He do ask some questions in the middle of his speech. He will prefer to ask children. That day too, he pointed a boy, may be of 10.

The question is, "Who is the father of Muruga?". Last night the boy had seen the movie 'Thiuvilaiyaadal'. Don't know whether he understood the story, but attracted by the acting of 'Nadigar Thilagam', Sivaji Ganesan. Even if someone says the about Kattabomman, Sivaji as Kattabomman comes to our mind. His acting attracts everyone.

The boy answered Sivaji. The people started laughing. Vaariyaar asked,"Why are you laughing? His answer is correct". He explained,"There is a practise in North, in order to give respect they used to refer them by adding a 'ji' after their name, say Gandhiji, etc. I think, he too wished to give respect to Lord Siva."
