"We have a huge hump

Which acts a storage sump

Our legs are fairly long

To make strides quick and strong

Our eye lashes too are long

To protect our eyes from sandy storm

Desert is our natural habitat

That is where we have to live"

Why then mom, we are in the zoo?

"We are here, my little baby, as an object of view

for the pleasure and joy of a few"

எரிகிற வீட்டிலே பிடுங்குவது லாபம்

The swag from a burning house

is a gain to the looter

who seemingly has come to douse
 
A new minister was walking with an older, more seasoned minister in the garden one day.

Feeling a bit insecure about what God had for him to do, he was asking the older preacher for some advice.
The older preacher walked up to a rosebush and handed the young preacher a rosebud and told him to open it without tearing off any of the petals.
The young preacher looked in disbelief at the older preacher and was trying to figure out what a rosebud could possibly have to do with his wanting to know the will of God for his life and ministry.
But, because of his great respect for the older preacher, he proceeded to try to unfold the rose, while keeping every petal intact. It wasn't long before he realized how impossible this was to do.
Noticing the younger preacher's inability to unfold the rosebud, without tearing it, the older preacher began to recite the following poem...
It is only a tiny rosebud,
A flower of God's design;
But I cannot unfold the petals


With these clumsy hands of mine.

The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I.
GOD opens this flower so easily,
But in my hands they die.





If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
This flower of God's design,
Then how can I have the wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?

So, I'll trust in God for leading
Each moment of my day.


I will look to God for guidance

In each step along the way.




The path that lies before me,


Only my Lord and Savior knows.

I'll trust God to unfold the moments,
Just as He unfolds the rose.

When I open my email, it is all spams
When I open the newspaper, it is all scams
When I open my purchase, many times it is full of shams
When I go to the road, it is full of traffic jam(s)
 
அவ்வையார் மூதுரை




நற்றாமரைக் கயத்தில் நல் அன்னம் சேர்ந்தார் போல்

கற்றாரைக் கற்றாரே காமுறுவர்-கற்பிலா

மூர்க்கரை மூர்க்கர் முகப்பர் முதுகாட்டில்

காக்கை உகக்கும் பிணம்.

Like a swan in a lotus pond;

The learned adore the learned

Illiterates attract only their class

Like a crow attracted by the carcass
 
Determination should be followed by action

should be followed by results


And that alone can give one satisfaction
 
பெண் மொழிகள்


If mother in law is a law unto herself

Then she becomes a Hitler in the guise of a woman

I hope Hitler had in-laws even though he made many out-Laws

(The anagram of MOTHER-IN-LAW is WOMAN HITLER as you all know)
 
பென் ( pen) மொழிகள்

With all your pompous power and wealth

If your children are mentally and physically poor in health

That is the worst punishment that you suffer

The like of which even your arch enemy should never
 
Every one of us is a Hanuman

Not knowing our inner strength and vigour


Until there is a Rama to trigger

and make us realise our inner talent


Which lies buried till then and remains latent
 
A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

George Bernard Shah
 
Music without sweet melody


Is to me only an irksome malady

Dance without charm and grace

Is nothing short of eyesore and disgrace
 
a glass of milk

This is a TRUE heart rending story




One day, a poor boy, who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, How much do I owe you? "You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."




He said... "Then I thank you from my heart."




As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was stronger also. He had been ready to give up and quit.




Many years later that same young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease.




Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.




Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once.

He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to her case.




After a long struggle, the battle was won.




Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words.....




"Paid in full with one glass of milk." -- Signed -- Dr. Howard Kelly.




Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank you, God , that Your love has spread through human hearts and hands."




There's a saying which goes something like this: "Bread cast on the waters comes back to you. The good deed you do today may benefit you or someone you love at the least expected time. If you never see the deed again at least you will have made the world a better place." And, after all, isn't that what life is all about?




-----




Dr. Howard Kelly was a distinguished physician who, in 1895, founded the Johns Hopkins Division of Gynecologic Oncology at Johns Hopkins University. According to Dr. Kelly's biographer, Audrey Davis, the doctor was on a walking trip through Northern Pennsylvania one spring day when we stopped by a farm house for a drink of water. A little girl answered his knock at the door and instead of water, brought him a glass of fresh milk. He visited with her briefly, then went his way. Sometime after that, the little girl came to him as a patient and needed surgery. After the surgery, the bill was brought to her room and on it were the words, "Paid in full with one glass of milk"

Trying to please everybody is a sure key to failure
But that doesn't mean, trying to displease everybody is the key to success
 
Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.

A pretty face may have a petty mind
A petty face may be a pretty soul
Don't judge anyone based on looks
And what you read in fancy books

Where there is no respect for knowledge
Where there is no respect for hard work
Where there is no respect for sincerity
Where there is no respect for merit and integrity
Where THERE IS RESPECT ONLY FOR POWER AND PELF
THAT NATION CAN NEVER ATTAIN PROSPERITY.

A religion that teaches hatred
A religion that insults other religions
A religion that is bigotry
A religion that has no respect for fellow human beigs
A religion that permits killing
A religion that has no tolerance
Is not a religion but an irreligion
 
Life is mostly froth and bubble, / Two things stand like stone, / Kindness in another's trouble, / Courage in your own. -Adam Lindsay Gordon, poet
 
ஃபோன் (phone) மொழிகள்
Life has become impossible without a cellphone
Rich or poor, old or young including the just born
Seem to spend half their life with it speaking
And the other half keeping it by their side sleeping
God has blundered in the design of our ear
Must have made the cellphone an integral part of us to hear
