Ignoring advice or responsibilities
Contexto cultural
In Tamil families, 'periyavargal sol' (words of elders) are considered sacred. Ignoring them is often described using this idiom to show the gravity of the social lapse. The idiom is equally common in Sri Lanka, often used in educational settings to reprimand students who don't follow strict disciplinary codes. Among the diaspora, this phrase is often used by parents to express frustration that their children are 'letting Tamil culture fly in the wind' (ignoring their heritage). With the rise of social media, this idiom is now used for 'ignoring DMs' or 'ghosting' plans made in WhatsApp groups.
Use with 'Vittu-vittaan'
To sound really native, use the double verb form: 'parakka vittu-vittaan'. It adds emphasis that the advice is GONE.
Not for physical loss
Don't use this if you literally lost your umbrella in the wind. Use 'tholaithuvitten' for that.
