Kultureller Hintergrund

The 'Adjust-panniko' (Just adjust) mentality is a huge part of Tamil life. 'Eppadiyavadhu sei' is the verbal engine of this mentality. Heroes are often defined by their ability to do things 'Eppadiyavadhu'. It's a key trait of the 'mass' hero. In Chennai's IT hubs, this phrase is used to bypass bureaucratic hurdles to meet client expectations. Mothers use this to encourage children to be resourceful and not give up easily on difficult tasks.
