    Hilarious! What was “seven wells” before? I’ve heard of seven hills, but not seven wells 🙂

    tamizh cinema notices printed leading Hollywood star’s name as Girigiri Peck! We see a vowel change here.
    On the other hand, if you read the tamizh in the sign here, it can also be taken for Mother (mAtA) Neckwear (tie) Makers. Is the mother the white lady on the hill?
