I have always believed in old saying that says a little power to undeserving one makes hem/her feel some one out of the world who wants to show it off at every possible way, applicable or not applicable even at the cost of becoming laughing stock.
We have a proverb....
Alppanu aiswaryam kittiyaal artharathri kuda pudikkum.....
If an 'Alpan' (can't find its English word :dry: , very poor, but not deserving...something like that :whistle: :whistle: ) becomes rich(very suddenly) , he will open his Umbrella even at midnight :S :S . (That means he will show it to the whole world)
Disastrous translation :evil: :blink: :S :S :S :S
