The Royal Family - A Saga
According to historians, the earliest known members of The Odathurai Royal family lived and ruled in Odathurai Nanjakavundampalaym, a small village in Erode District of Tamil Nadu, India. They were unmeasurably wealthy and this can be deduced from historical evidences showing that they were the first folks in the village to have 'Metthai' veedu. It is said that one of the rulers of the family was the only one in the village to have a Gramaphone record !
The fact that they were 'genteel' can be deduced from the fact that they went to Erode by a fleet of bullock carts, to buy 'silk zippas' for their kids.In their heyday, they were generous to all their workers. It is said that there was a queue before their house, a mile long to get their salary in the form of Grains and other articles.
The family was fondly called 'Gate kaaranga' by the village folks in reference to the huge arch-like metal gate of their family home.
But in the middle part of the Twentieth century, the family fell upon bad days due to their generosity, and numerous legal battles with their jealous kin.
The sad state of affairs continued till the present royals vowed to glorify their family. This having been said about the background of the royal family, this blog will concentrate from now on the present royals and their exploits...
EDIT: Ofc, this is a parody. All for a little lol :)
