Sandhula Sindhu Padurathu!!

Humour for those who appreciate Tinglish!! - combo of Tamil and English (something on the lines of pidgin). This colloquialism highlights an ability of a third entity to gain some advantage or mileage when two other entities are engaged in either a fight ,argument or problem.

Have a look at this news bit :

It was unfortunate that the Apple employee lost the latest proto device in a bar, some other person picked up the device and sold it to a blog agency who in addition to revealing the information about the device also named the employee of Apple.

In the midst of  all this ruckus , Lufthansa offers the Apple employee free flight and complimentary beer! Whew !

Talk about Extracting mileage !!:)
