A red flag catches our attention.
This is a common sight in USA.
The parents make it a point to take out the child
as ofter as possible and as much as possible.
The red flag denotes that there is baby
inside the baby car attached to the bicycle.

......... No one will dare to verify whether the lingerie is worn or not! ...

Yessssssss! That was my idea too!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

To all the friends in the East and the West

HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

After ....!!!!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Before???

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

The unbeatable / uncommon player...???

Who else but the pachyderm!!!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Holds many surprises too!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Will such fun be ever allowed in India ??? :noidea:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

The one man demolition squad in a posture
resembling a dance sequence more than a sports move!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

What a weird sense of fun??? :yuck:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

One man can make a difference whether he is a Gandhi or a Godse.

I found my long lost mood ring today.
I shows a dull green color all the time!!
Any idea of what it signifies???
It is of the shade of the ground maruthaaNi leaves!!

 

[Raji Ram]

At least if it were IAIO

we can read it as aiyaiyo!!!

Now it is hard even to be pronounced.

:nono: Actually 'aiyaiyO' is not a good word according to many mAmis.

IAOI is !

First you call 'aiyA' and if that aiyA doesn't pay heed to you, then shout 'ஓய்' (Oi)

'aiyA Oi - aiyA Oi' sounds like something in Ilayaraja's music.

Here is a sample:

Something to think and tax the grey matter!
Can any elite member solve this 'extra squares' puzzle? :ranger:

Please watch: Azulejos

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

May be ALL the small squares are not real squares after they are rearranged in a particular fashion but some of them become rectangles of slightly smaller area.

The number of pieces remain 9 x 7 = 63 and yet we have three extra squares. This is possible only if we steal a small area from the squares by making them rectangles instead.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

The new bog Vinayaka PuraaNam is taking shape now.

I have already posted 30 poems and their English translations.

After I catch up the the poems are published in about a week's time,

I will go on with the new poems and their translations in this blog.

Vinayaka PuraaNam « The greatest WordPress.com site in all the land!

Now watch this video:

Infinite chocolate explained

In the video posted earlier, after the three extra pieces are taken away, the 63 pieces are kept tightly packed in the
same tray! This means that the area is SAME! May be some 'video trick' with a different tray? :juggle:

Three hours +Three hundred rupees =>
The knowledge that Pain is an inevitable part of life.
If it decides to come to us on one fine day then
we must learn to live with it with a smile, until
it decides to go off by itself on another fine day.
Thanks to the new heel pain for this revelation.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Happy Tamil new year 2013-2014.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

I hope the horizontal stripes on the forehead,
the antennae on the head and the white dhothi
will make some of our friends very happy.
For the Tamils, from the Tamils by the Tamils!!!

 

[DR.C.NARAYANI]

[Visalakshi Ramani]

[h=2]Sixty-year cycle[/h] The 60-year cycle of the Tamil calendar is common to North and South Indian traditional calendars, with the same name and sequence of years. Its earliest reference is to be found in Surya Siddhanta, which Varahamihirar (550 CE) believed to be the most accurate of the then current theories of astronomy. However, in the Surya Siddhantic list, the first year was Vijaya and not Prabhava as currently used. This 60-year cycle has also been adopted into the Chinese calendar.
After the completion of sixty years, the calendar starts a new with the first year. This corresponds to the Hindu "century." The Vakya or Tirukannitha Panchangam (the traditional Tamil almanac) outlines this sequence. It is related to the position of the planets in the sky with respect to earth. It means that the two major planets Sani/Saturn ( which takes 30 years to complete one cycle round the sun) and the Viyazhan/Jupiter (which takes 12 years to complete one cycle round the Sun) comes to the same position after 60 years.
The following list presents the current 60-year cycle of the Tamil calendar:

Madame VR!

I am awaiting your response to my posting on why we should avoid processed food.
http://www.tamilbrahmins.com/genera...we-need-avoid-processed-foods.html#post184091

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

dear prof N_M,

Pickles is the ONLY processed food we buy - if at all!

So I am not qualified to elobarate on the demerits of :blabla:

the processed food from my personal experience!

Hence my silence! :tape:
