About Vada Poda

Welcome to Vada Poda - a medium to shape my thoughts and ideas into opinions, and ultimately express them in words.

What will this site have
Anything under the sun, and even beyond. This will have articles on a variety of topics which affect me in daily life - be it movies-entertainment, mobile-web-technology, everyday news, companies-corporate actions and many more.

How this site got its name
Vada Poda (வாடா போடா) are two commonly used words in Tamil language. They mean 'come' and 'go' respectively.

When I was trying to come up with a name for this site, I was struck by the fact that our brain welcomes millions of thoughts everyday out of which only a handful stays behind to be used to form opinions. The remaining thoughts are shown the door, to be either forgotten completely or retrieved again when the need arises. This site's name is derived from this simple fact.

On hindsight, this can also be looked up as a pun of Vadai (வடை) & Poha (पोहा), two simple delicacies from South and Central India respectively. This site also strives to achieve the twin purposes of being simple and being a delicacy to its readers.
