Think or sink!

Values are more important than means. If they are given in abundant measure, that is the best we can do. As our generation faced different environment and challenges, the new generation too is exposed to both benign and hostile and enticing world. Some manage to carry and live traditional culture with ease and conviction. Some don't. It is their misfortune.
When we get things too easily we do not cherish them as much as we would

if we had to wait for it for several years, save money like a sparrow or an ant and buy it!
 
Dear VR ji,

I somehow feel the word sacrifice gives an impression that we are denying ourselves something for the sake of another or for a specific goal..this sometimes can also be that a person may so call "sacrifice" but secretly wish in one's mind that he/she should have a better life etc and not having to keep sacrificing.

So the total outcome would be external sacrifice but internal dissatisfaction, pent up desires,envious of those who are better off and regret at an old age.

To me I feel the best way is Moderation in thought,words and deeds when it comes to finance.....that is we sort of plan our lives in moderation..so that way we still get to live within our means without denying ourselves or anyone else their due share of comfort and luxury.

Moderation tailor makes our desires to fit the financial situation so that we do not live in the either end of the spectrum.

I feel that is true Tapasya...getting a hold of our lives by applying the principles of Moderation...after all the end product of even a religious Tapasya is Samadhi(Equal Mindedness)..if we apply this concept in day to day life..it becomes a Sanctified Financial Yagna.

Dear Renu,

When we give up willingly the luxuries, they will not cause pent up feelings of dissatisfaction.

Right??? We have to live within our means and differentiate our needs from our greeds!!! :)

My father used to say that if he were given another chance to live,

he would do exactly the same thing he had done in this life.

I salute him for saying that. We must never ever repent or resent what we we have willingly chosen to do!

Self denial often gives a greater sense of achievement and satisfaction than self gratification.

We have conquered everything we can do without!!!

Dear Sir,
I can say with some pride that neither my sons nor my nephews have been corrupted in any manner by the life in USA. I have seen the comic and patheic people who go foot-loose and
nut-loose the moment they land in USA. They can't bear their extreme good fortune (!?) and start behaving like aliens.
 
God is in his heaven. :angel:

The ministers are in their safe homes. :couch2:

ALL is right with the people. :flock:

When YOU ARE SAFE why would you care?

Why should you care when YOU ARE NO MORE???

If strangling was in the agenda after raping her,

where was the need to force acid down her throat??? :mad2:



Woman raped, forced to drink acid, strangled to death in UP

Police said that traces of acid were found in the victim's stomach which indicated that she was forced to drink acid before she was murdered. More »

Getting raped when the entire body is covered with a cloth except for the two eyes!!! :faint:

WHAT will happen if the ladies go around daring to bare??? :wacko:
 
Tarun is over 9 months young and already he knows what all give his baby dome real hard bumps!

It is interesting to watch when he becomes completely flat with his belly and head on the floor

before crawling under the sofa or a chair or a table in the style military men are trained. :baby:
 
When we all talk and when Tejas talks non-stop, Tarun does not want to be left out of the

conversation. He would make various sounds and sharps cries at various pitches for

various durations.

My younger sister was so impressed with his throat power that she renamed him as ANil

Kumar. It fits him perfectly since he is bright eyed and bushy tailed already.

The trees were mere twigs and barren branches in mid March.

Now everything is green everywhere! Flowers bloom like no body's business.

Houses are coming up like Mayan's palace on the other side of the road.

The work men just erect prefabricated wooden frames and cover them with wooden planks in no time.

The roof appears and then the windows and the doors.

I did not know that building houses can be so swift and silent

not mention their being pollution free (both noise and dust) :clap2:

The only sound I heard was the Beep Beep of a multi purpose truck.
 
Sales follow one another like :bump2:

Mother's day sale followed by Memorial day sale to be followed by

The Father's day sale and the Independence day sale.

Cash back offers, discounts up to 70% on selected items etc make the people

go for shopping again and again and again.

I must be the only dumb lady not knowing what to buy when

offered anything in the shop - irrespective of the price.

I saw the other women of my age carry their loots in carts.

But I really felt totally lost in those shops!

May be I did not really anything !!!

May be I can't use what I can buy there!!!

May be I did not fit in their sale or scheme!

When we buy for 50$, we may get some cash back - say 10$.

When we don't buy anything, we already have the entire cash with us. Right??? :rolleyes:
