Think or sink!

Falling in love with the permission of the parents must be exciting!
Falling love after the official engagement must be even more exciting!!
one of my students who was working in the Gulf countries spent a
massive 6 figure sum on the tele-talks with his fiance.
I always used to wonder whether they had anything left to talk about
after they got married and settled!!!
May be it was Talk before the wedding and Action after wedding!!!
 
Eyes with black circles has become a common phenomenon now.
Lovers lose sleep day dreaming/chatting/ talking/ text-ing etc.
Honey Moon as the name suggests make the couple require
both honey and moon for health and romantic moods.
Small wonder they too develop black circles in their faces.
Young parents take care of their infants and lose their beauty sleep.
Parents of children in marriageable age spend sleepless nights.
So senior citizens who are in good health and under good care
are those who enjoy the soothing sleep in addition to the infants!
 
Politics an current affairs will take a back seat in this thread for some time.
I wish to finish the Devi Bhaagavtam series as planned by Dec 2014.
I have already lost one precious month unexpectedly.
So I will post here only some stray thoughts which made me think.
I think. Therefore I am.

Maarga dharsi and Dheerga dharsi.

The dancers lose their youth (paruvam) and beauty (uruvam) as they age.

The singers lose their breath control and high pitched voice as they age.

(In fact there are two famous singers, one male and the other female,

who anyone will mistake to belong to the other gender -

since the male singer sings in a pitch much higher than the female!)

Kural and viral may get out of our control.

Legs and knees may make it impossible to sit on the floor.

My father who was my maarga dharsi

by suggesting to take up writing (Journalism)

was a also a dheerga dharsi no doubt!

His exact words were, "You may continue to write

from wherever you are, on whatever you wish to,

however old you might have become!"

He could not have spoken truer words.

Age adds experience and experience adds

taste, flavor and spice to the writing.
 
Children throwing a tantrum are imitating the frilled lizard

by adding sound effects and visual effect

to make their performance more commendable.

Tejas, whenever he wants to impress his views on the others

jumps up and down on the wooden floor making a loud thumping noise

and screams and screeches himself hoarse.

But little Tarun knows how to subdue him into silence by uttering

"yayayaya yayayaya" in a loud, accusing and displeased tone.

I bet he will perform better once he learns to speak the words

which are required to replace the current yayayaya. :rolleyes:
 
18. Huff, Puff and Bluff



Many animals know that the best thing is to BE fierce. The second best thing is to APPEAR to be fierce.

Cats arch their backs and make their hairs stand on edge to appear larger than life – during a fight.

The Australian frilled lizard puffs and bluffs its enemies. It is one meter long and has a frill which

lies flat along its neck.

When alarmed, it raises its frill to form a disc 2 feet across. It hisses loudly and opens it mouth

to reveal the bright yellow interior.

The combined effect of this sound and color show is too much for any predator and it withdraws

as fast as it can – forgetting the fact that these lizards are really harmless.

The first child demands more time and attention even after the younger siblings arrive. So the parents are seen hugging and holding the eldest child - more often than the younger ones.

To this day my elder sister makes fun of me by quoting the words uttered by me as a small child, "Appa! Naan kovichindu irukken!"

The statement is self explanatory. Nobody paid any heed to my pouting sessions and I needed to draw their attention to that fact.
 
Old joke is: Before marriage, boy talks and the girl listens. After marriage, the girl orders and the boy obeys. After a couple of years, both fight and the neighbours enjoy.

Perhaps the first two are now combined, and the third phase starts soon after marriage!

People of two extremes!!! :fear:

They love too much OR hate too much!!! :mad2:

They give in too much OR control too much!!! :whip:
The tolerate too much or grill and roast too much!!! :flame:

NOT only are they living in the two extremes but

they also make sure that whoever comes in their lives

are made to in live the same way - on the edges always.

And the most pathetic point is that like the moon

-which shows US only one of its two sides always-

they too show their rough sides to the same group of persons all the time

and their lenient sides to another group of lucky persons all the time.

AND they specialise in hitting below the belt when we are down and out!
 
th


Hello Kitty Doll from Hawawii.

I hate to leave / maintain bitter thoughts

since our swaroopam is sat-chit-aanandham.

So something pleasant to think about till we meet again tomorrow.

Tarun likes his Hello Kitty Doll bought and brought from Hawaii.

It mews gently three times when we press its left palm.

It is cute and so large that its knitted shoes fit well Tarun's feet.

So I used to ask "Hello Kitty! How are you today?" and press its left palm.

It will answer sincerely with three high pitched mews to the delight of Tatun kutty.

At times I will also synchronize my mews with those of the kitty.

So Tarun will be watching the two of us to decide who was actually making those mews!:decision:

P.S Tarun's kitty wears a colorful garland in addition to these! :)
 
We can make people do ANYTHING
( hate/curse/ beat/ thrash/ hit/ spit)
to us except make them love us!!!
Love has to come from inside a person.
It can't be forced to appear from outside.
 
Tarun kutty appeared to chat.
When I called out, " Zuzu Kutty! Come to me!"
he made a dash to his laptop with a big grin.
I thought he might defy Laws of Physics by
the Laws of Love and land on my lap -
traveling through the two laptops placed
half way across the globe!
He has improved his wibbly wobbly walk a lot!
 
Oh! my curse has backfired!!! :(
I am not able to sleep for more than 4 hours at night
even if I remain wide wake throughout the 20 hours-long-day! :(
I withdraw my curse and let those pests sleep and rest as before!
 
I made an observation some four decades ago to my father.

"It is very easy to be the sweet wife of a smart husband and enjoy

perfect harmony in the household - which makes a happy family.

He would consider the pros and cons before making any important decision.

She has just to nod "Yes boss! Yes boss!" and everything will go on

smoothly and correctly.

The problem starts when the husband is not as smart as he thinks he is

and makes wild impulsive decisions - without considering all the aspects.

The the wife can neither remain silent and let him have his way always

nor register her protest without creating friction and accompanying fire works.

This makes them a juicy topic for the other people - who lecture on

harmony in the family - without understanding the situation.

The wife has to tread on a knife edge all her life!

If she objects to everything he does, then their wedding will get derailed.

If she agrees to everything he does, then the family will get ruined.

She has to decide on which matters to give in and which to stand firm."

My father was greatly impressed and said, "I am happy that you can

think so vividly while you are still so young!".

He understood what I had meant. How many more will do so here??? :noidea:

இரண்டே இரண்டு லக்ஷணங்கள் தான் குறைவு

அந்த அழகான லக்ஷணமான மணமகனுக்கு!

ஒன்று "தனக்கும் தெரியாது " என்பது.

மற்றது "சொன்னாலும் புரியாது!" என்பது.

இவை இரண்டுக்கும் பதிலாக பிடிவாதமும், முரட்டுத் தனமும் இருந்தாலோ

யாருமே, எதுவுமே சொல்லவும் கூட முயற்சி செய்ய மாட்டார்கள்.

"முதலையும் மூர்க்கனும்கொண்டது விடா!" என்பார்கள்

முரட்டு மூர்க்கனைப் பற்றி சொல்லவும் வேண்டுமா? :scared:
 
பதிவிரதை என்பவள் அசட்டுக் கணவன் செய்வதை எல்லாம்


விதியே என்று பொறுத்துக் கொண்டு போகின்றவள் அல்ல!


மதி மந்திரியாகச் செயல்பட்டுத் தன் கதி நிர்கதி ஆகும் முன்பே


நிதியையும், குடும்பத்தையும், கணவனையும் வழி நடத்துபவள். :thumb:
