P.S.: At least for once I have made the post short as otherwise it would make the reader yawn.
Shabdaavali: Jambaayi (n): Yawn (English), Kottaavi (Tamil), Ubaasiyaan/Uvaasiyan/Hawaasiyaan (Plural) (Hindi). This is contagious. Where four or five people are sitting together and discussing something if one person yawns (may be because of the boring topic), this is common in class rooms, definitely one or more persons also would follow suit. Sometimes when I am sitting idle, I yawn but I ensure that I cover my mouth with my palms which would otherwise have to be opened wide in the process of yaawning. The reason? My upper portion (upper jaw) has three gates – Gateway of India, India Gate and Buland Darwaza and the lower portion (lower jaw) has one wide gate – call it Delhi Gate or Kashmiri Gate. In Nanganallur mosquitoes are hovering around almost always, be it day or night. If I open my mouth wide for yawning or even if I open my lips there is every possibility of one or two mosquitoes getting into my mouth making me a non-vegetarian. Even otherwise it is a bit indecent if we open our mouth wide, we should try to cover it by our hands or by a hanky. But it is very difficult to control yawning unlike sneezing which can be stopped at the nick of time if there are people nearby and our nasal spray would make them uncomfortable.
