நண்டு புடிக்க North Carolina

I was a little surprised to hear that several people in the US have "crab catching" as a hobby. A very different one indeed. And at the same time, they are passionate and patient enough to find out a nice spot to do this and do not mind travelling a whole lot.

My friend and I had a chat on Friday and he was enquiring about a manager whom we worked for. Pat came the reply "அவர் நண்டு புடிக்க North Carolina போயிருக்காரு"

He shot back "நண்டு கூட அதே area-ல கெடைக்காதா? அத அவ்ளோ தூரம் போய் புடிக்கணுமா?" Such a valid question. But என்ன பண்றது? இந்த ஊர் காரனுங்க இப்ப்டிதான்.

இதே நம்ம ஊரா இருந்திருந்தா, ஒரு பாலார் வாட்டர் தொட்டி கட்டி வெச்சா அழகா நண்டு வரும். இத உட்டுட்டு... அய்யோ அய்யோ!
