There is a proverb in tamil which says “Ooru rendu patta koothadikku kondattam” which means if there is a fight between two brothers it becomes an entertainment for others. As we grow and get to meet many different people and situations in life I am just wondering how true is this proverb. It could be the intensity of the fight or could be the way both parties are completely pre-occupied and one thing people don’t realize is this is a paisa vasool for people surrounding you. I would like to pen this blog to express my thoughts over this topic.
In this modern world everyone is equipped with so much of information for the simple reason all of us are literates and more than that we are exposed to the outside world compared to previous generations. Here comes the difference of opinion since opinion always matters and opinions always differs from one another; At this juncture if there is a give and take between parties and no ego then things take a different route, if not we all know what happens. This is where things start to get worsen with news spreading around. It could be either people reached out to their peers for help or it could rumour mills spreading around. In one way or the other it gives so much of fodder for the ever hungry folks.
Recently in Tamil Nadu there were elections for the Nadigar sangam for the first time and there were so much animosity between two teams and war of words was becoming a trend in kollywood. Aaccording to me media were the ultimate winners since it gave them so much footage to highlight their cover pages and definitely they made hay while the sun was shining. If we look back in our life there could be many such incidents.
One thing which we have to be more careful is trust the people whom we share our personal things. Also it would be best to handle the situation directly with the person whom you are confronting rather than having third party involved. Last but not the least make sure nobody takes this as an oppurtunity to bring down both of you because that could be a major blow than the little flight that it all started with.

The tamil saying is well-explained in the right context! Great blog Sundar!
Totally incorrect.
Please... Please... Please don't mislead the greatest Tamil proverbs
The actual meaning is:
In olden days, there used to be drama troops.
If there is a town of say 100 people, the village together will pay X amount to the troop for all of them to see the show.
Assume that the town had internal issues and split as 50 people on each side and divided into two separate towns that are against each other.
This is a favorable situation for the drama troop because now the troop can charge X amount to two different towns and therefore it is their profit.
Actually very true, best example is bigg boss tamil season 6 how vijay tv is making profit by quarrels between the contestants who splits into two groups.
Not only vijay tv so called famous you tube channels also catching fish (profit) by stirring up the pond.
Generally speaking corporates is the best example for this proverb.
