Eclipse of the Moon-u

Kailasam who was the best known Kannada humorists has a great play – Bandvalavillada Badayi, in which the central character Ahoblu a lawyer asks his assistant about the eclipse, he answers the questions on Eclipse of Sun-u and Eclipse of Moon-u, but is shocked when asked about eclipse of Earth-u. later the lawyer explains

Eclipse of earth-u is when the shadow of my son-u falls on this Earth-u.

Eclipse of the earth-u may be happening every in your respective house, but the partial eclipse of moon-u occurred on 6th September 2006 between 2335 Hrs. and 0105 Hrs.
