‘My heart is as big as our central hall. Ammalu, your standing at the gate is not going to stop the entry of your friends, I like’

‘You’re at home only for eating food. If you keep your mouth shut, I too will’
‘You’re a stupam of stupidity, Ammalu. Stupam means pillar’
‘I’ll Put it in a way you understand . I’m a stupam or a pillar but with a mouth, which I should shut when you practice ?’

Ammalu, what is the general opinion of your friends about me?’
‘General opinion is you’re ok. Specifically if you ask, you’re yet to grow’
