Today's Tamil word Series - 30th April 2020 - நல்லூழ்

Starting with this blogpost, I am compiling my Facebook series of posts titled "Today's Tamil word: இன்று ஒரு தமிழ்ச் சொல்" for easy later reference.
Today's Tamil word - April 30th 2020
Over the years we have had many words come into the common vocabulary of Tamil from other languages. It would be interesting to learn the original Tamil words for those usages and perhaps start using them in our everyday lives: here is one to get started
Good Luck - அதிர்ஷ்டம்/ யோகம் (both from Sanskrit)
Correct Tamil word for Good luck is நல்லூழ் (நல்ல + ஊழ்)
ஊழ் means uncontrollable things, which is mis-translated as FATE (விதி) in many Thirukkural Guides. ஊழ் is one of the 133 Chapters in Thirukkural.
