KaDis

Inspired by one professor in our institute whom we call as Mama, and who is known for his "KaDis" (PJs), i have started creating my own KaDis. Here are the ones i created over the last couple of weeks. Meanwhile, I thank my friends here who have helped me create these kaDis.(Note: Most of these KaDis are based on Tamil. I will try my hand at English and Kannada later but for the present it is mainly Tamil although the first two can be understood by others too)
