Post by Ms Renuka is 100% correct. Tamil women wearing Thali, Big Pottu and Flowers are very common in Malaysia and even in Singapore. Second or third generation who have migrated to these countries observed the same and the customs are followed by their children. Contrary to this custom, people living in India (younger generation) think it is an insult to use pottu or flowers. If at all their parents insist on Pottu, they will do it and one can located the pottu with the help of magnifying glass only.

Yes sir..they do and they are the ultimate Thaliban squad who are better than airport scanners.
They can identify a female not wearing thali and pottu miles away.
I have no problems if someone wears Thali and Pottu but as long they do not impose rules and regulations on others.

Now I have adopted a new way of handling such attacks launched by Thaliban squad.
When anyone asks me "why aren't you wearing your Thali and Pottu?"

I tell them "What??Can't you see that that I have both Thali and Pottu on?OMG I think you could be having some visual defect..come let me examine your eyes"

They really panic thinking they have some visual problem.!!LOL

Most South Indian husbands here insists wives wear Thali and Pottu.
North Indian husbands are cool cos most of them do not have Thali in their marriage ceremony and also do not insists on Pottu and Sindoor to be worn.
