Even the brahmins for whom all these aachaaraas are meant, are unable to stick to them in the present time. ..........

AchArAs are not ONLY for the brahmins but for three varNAs.

''மூன்று வர்ணத்தாருக்கும் ஆசார, அனுஷ்டானங்கள் கூறப்பட்டிருக்கிறது. இன்று செய்பவர் குறைந்து அல்லது

வழக்கொழிந்ததால் அவை ஏதோ வேதியருக்கு மட்டும் என்ற தோற்றம் நிலவுகிறது. இவற்றை சிறிதளவேனும்

நாமும் பின்பற்றி ஜன்மத்தைக் கடைத்தேறுவோம்.''

Let us TRY to follow at least a few of these and reserve a seat in the heaven! :angel:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

I seek NOT heaven
(from where we will pushed down headlong
once all our punyam gets exhausted)
I seek total liberation (mukti)
and I am determined to get it any any cost
if not now later on but
I will keep on trying till I succeed! :ballchain:

Since the sadaachara is not meant for the fourth varna explicitly,
we can assme that the other three varnas are
slowly and steadily merging with the fourth varna. out:

Today it was repeat performance of a girl screaming

and sharp sounds of her mother hitting her repeatedly.

i could not bear it any more since by remaining silent

in a scene of domestic violence we become

unwilling accomplice of the atrocities committed.

I took to task the mother who had taken to task

her 11 year old daughter for securing only 50%

in an unannounced class test conducted on

the lesson taught the previous day.

Poor girl! she was absent since she had an exam to appear for

on the same day and had missed the class and

did not know about the portion taught or the lightning test.

The child is driven like a slave to attend music class/ dance class/ Hindi class

and what not and severe punishment always hangs above her head like

the Damocles' sword.

I explained to the mother about the way she was abusing her child and what

would have happened if the child used a helpline as the kids do in USA.

Pin drop silence from then till now.

As long as the message is remembered I can look forward to some peace

and quiet in the neighborhood and less child abuse since the words are sure

to spread fast in a colony of ~ 100 houses.

There used to live a family from North India right on top of our house.
Every Sunday I would hear Hindi pouring out in high pitched voice
non stop for 30 to 45 minutes.

I thought it was a speech by someone since I could not hear the words clearly. They had moved out recently. I found out only after they left, that it was the gaali given by the loving husband to his obedient and silent wife.

I learned a valuable lesson today.
We can never really know what lies
in the mind of a person whom
we think we know well but... we don't!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Inferences, extrapolations, projections are
biased by our own concepts and theories
need not be 100% correct all the time.

Dear VR ji,

Take care..get well soon.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Thank you dear Renu!

I am already feeling better
and am catching up today's posts!

My husband has dust allergy.
He was out of the city for two days.

So I used the opportunity to clean the house
and the nets in the windows etc
so thoroughly that I fell sick with all the extra work
minus the usual two square meals I have a day.

I lived on idlis and dosaas for two days

A game conducted for the 70+ gentlemen and women in a gathering...
Keeping 4 wineglasses upside down in contact and the fifth one right side up.
Blowig a ping pong ball over the base of the first four wineglasses into the fifth one!!!
Any guess as to who was the winner??? :first:
Who can it be other than one who is
very familiar with BOTH
Puffs :smokin: and Sips :spit:!!!

Once there was a contest in folding a saree in the shortest time.

Can you guess who won in the contest ???

An ex-military officer!!!

Now we know the one (only???) job

an orderly can dream of escaping. :bolt:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

When there was a contest in wearing a starched cotton saree
a school teacher bagged the first prize naturally!!!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

In a contest for lighting maximum number of candles with a single match stick,
the popular chain smoker won the first prize.
So he must have been helping his gang
by lighting up their cigarettes after lighting his own. :bump2:

இழுக்க இழுக்க இன்பம்

இறுதி வரை!!!

யாருடையஇறுதி???
the cigarette??? :decision: the smoker???

All kids including calves call their mother as Maa or a modified form of maa/may/moo etc
Similarly the father is called as Paa or the modified form of Paa as paapaa/appa/ appu/ appo etc
Surprisingly M and P are the ONLY two sounds when the two lips meet together.
This must have something to do with the names of father and mother
whom the child learns to call first in its early life!
Can any linguist throw some light on this point??? :laser:

Dear VR ji,

I am no linguist..but it is commonly thought that a child's first words will be Ma/Amma.


But after becoming a mother I feel the first word a child speaks will be what he/she has heard the most.

In my parents house..bhajans of Sathya Sai Baba and Naamavali are played daily..so you will hearing the word Baba very often almost 24/7.

My son's first word was Ba Ba and not Ma/Amma but yet again it is a labial where both lips meet.

Pa Pha Ba Bha Ma are labials.

BTW my son only called his father Appa at some age of 4 or 5..before that he was happily calling his father by name ..He would call out Kumar Kumar!..when he was less than 4 he used to say Kuman instead of Kumar.
Even though we would tell him call Appa he will shake his head and call Kumar instead.

விபரீத பிரகிருதிகள்...
விபரீத வசனங்கள்!!!

தாய் மகனிடம்....
"மூடிகிட்டுப் போடா!"

மகன் தாயிடம்....
"பொத்திகிட்டுப் போடி!"

மகன் தாயிடம்,
"உன் புருஷன் சொன்னான்!"

(அவள் புருஷன் இவன் அப்பன் இல்லையா?)

கணவன் மனைவியிடம்...
"போடி * * * ச்சி!"

(அக்கச்சி தங்கச்சி இருவர்களைத் தவிர
அத்தனை * * * ச்சிகளும் உலா வருவார்கள்)

தந்தை மகனிடம்....
"உன் வயசிலே எனக்கு அப்பன் இல்லை!"
(அதற்கு உன் மகன் என்ன செய்வான் ஐயா?) :moony:

மாமியார் மருமகளிடம்...
"பேசாம நீ செத்து போயிடு!"

என்ன தாராள புத்தி கிழவிக்கு!
யார் பெற்ற பெண்ணோ தானே!!

கொள்ளுப் பாட்டி எல்லோரிடமும்...
"தனியாச் சாக பயமா இருக்கு!
எல்லோரும் ஒண்ணாப் போயிடலாமா?"

(தொண்ணூற்று ஐந்து வயது வாழ்ந்தவள்
குட்டிக் குழந்தைகளிடம் பேசும் பேச்சா இது??):shocked:

எழுத வேண்டாம் என்று இருந்தேன்
எழுதாமல் இருக்க முடியவில்லை.

இவைகளைக் கேட்கும் தீவினைப்பயன்
எப்படி வந்து சேர்ந்தது தெரியவில்லை! :frusty:

dear Renu,
I forgot about the entire pa varga in which the lips meet,
since I was trying with the Tamil alphabets.
Thanks for the correction dear. :yo:
I think children between 3 and 4 years like to call everyone by their names.
My little granddaughter calls her parents by their names.
So also my younger son and his wife.
She tried to call me and uncle also by our names
but it was too complicated for her and
every time she would try our names and say
"you have got funny names!"

"Eminent Brahmins" thread was given

but "Popular Brahmins" thread was given

!!!

What makes these two titles do different???

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

முக்கியமான வசனத்தை
மறந்துபோய் விட்டேனே!!!

கணவன் மனைவிடம் ....
"உனக்கும் எனக்கும் எந்த சம்பந்தமும் இல்லை"

வெறும் பந்தமே இல்லை
சம் + பந்தம் எங்கிருந்து வரும்???

அக்னி சாட்சியாகத் தாலி கட்டியவன்
இப்படி மனைவியிடம் சொன்னால் பிறகு
திருட்டுத் தாலி கட்டியவனும்
பெண்ணைத் தள்ளிகினு போனவனும்
என்னென்னெ சொல்ல மாட்டார்கள்???

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

I just got a danger signal in the forum
in the form of a forbidden name.
Did anyone see or notice or feel it???
Dear Renu! are you listening??? :ear:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

I'm learning - the biggest lesson learnt so far is that I have a long long long long way to go.

Guruvethunai
Yay Yem

It is really funny dear A.M Ji that you had to go such a long long long way
from Chennai to Benares to find pout the above fact!
I know that right from the place where I am now!
