Think or sink!

It was another race with time alright. :car:

The pace was that of a snail. :(

Thanks to the terrifying terrific traffic early in the morning. :shocked:

The one hour travel got extended to two hours and

We could get a glimpse of the MahA DeepArAdhana

just we turned in the temple street - from far far away.

Lucky residents of the street.

All they have to do is to come and stand outside their houses

at the apponited time to see the deepArAdhanA everyday!
 
My younger son got tired of the tailgating in the previous city he used to live. He sat with the road map and found out an alternative route.

He came home beaming the next evening saying that it was a straight right royal ride to home. :)

The next evening he came home crestfallen again and said,
"Apparently everyone else has also found out that route yesterday!" :(

The same thing happened here also yesterday. :frusty:

EVERY bus driver, lorry driver, van driver, car driver and auto driver had found out the alternate route so that it was busier than the regular route!
 
There were two distant relatives - very very distant now - since we are also running short of time.

We were of two minds - whether to stop to meet them and get delayed further-
or just go ahead with the plan to the next destination!

I could not beleive my eyes when I saw them one on the road with her hands raised skywards
and the other entering the next temple - just a minute after I had entered it.

When we are destined to met people we MEET them somehow and somewhere.
Otherwise they become as elusive as unicorns - even if you chasing them!
 
The first lady had become so smart, respectable, independent and confident
after her husband has taken off to the land-of-no-return f few years ago!
While half the population turns to watching marathon TV to kill the night,
the other half becomes smarter and seem rise to meet the new challenges!
 
The re-fixing of the loosened crown now costs 500% the original fees!
How else can they recover the money invested in Closed Circuit T.Vs
fancy cushion chairs and the centralized A.C ???
The policy must be " Since You enjoy it - You also pay for it!!! :moony:
 
Gossips spread so fast but not the good things that people do.

I wished to distribute my website I.D cars to elderly people

who are likely to read the kind of writing I am specializing in now.

No No, but they do not even want to give out the cards to their

friends and acquaintances and bluntly refuse by saying,

"I myself do not read what you write. why should I give out those cards?"

I thank the perfect strangers- who after reading my blogs -

share the links in their social site like F.B, My Space and

also tweet, and hoot to publicize it to interested people.

Oh Boy! Am I happy real my family is spread all over the world! :)
 
Once my mother asked me why I was wasting so much time :clock:

in writing things which even the family members do not read! :wacko:

You can easily guess my reply - since you must be knowing me well enough by now. :rolleyes:
 
People find pleasure in TRYING to prove to me that I know NOTHING!!! :)

I also play along posing as if I know nothing that needs to be known by me! :loco:

I do not lose anything by making them happy at my own expense! :thumb:
 
Has anyone heard of a nickname for another nickname ...

unless it shortens the already-shortened-name further??? :nono:

People know how to play on human psychology in subtle ways.

The sweetest word for any person ( me excluded of course ) :rolleyes:

is his/ her name in print or voiced !!! (Do you need proof for this??) :)

So bring in the name of the most influential person in the household

and set right the background favorably for the new arrivals!!!

:cool: scheme isn't it???
 
Name = Naam = Naamam are also so closely relate to nama:

nama: is worshiping / bending / stooping etc. :hail:

So a name makes a person bend towards to!

That is why chanting of Lord's / Devi's name brings Him /Her closer to us.

No one can ignore us when we keep calling out their thousands of names with love!!! Rignt???
 
The fourth parameter!

When I went to attend the Gruhapravesam of my neighbor
the owner of the present house occupied by them also came.

By the rarest chance, we were both wearing the same Indigo color sari,
We are both aged almost equally and both are plumb and rounded!!!

When the husband of the other lady wanted to call her downstairs,
he gave the three parameters to a little boy in the balcony
as the plumb, old lady in a blue sari.

A little fellow came and called me to look out from the balcony.

The man forgot to add the fourth parameter as Potti and Podavu
(short/ tall) since I am at least 6" taller than her!!!

Just like the famous four colors necessary for drawing and coloring a map, for the complete and correct identification of anyone, we need minimum four parameters.

More than four is a waste and less than four will be confusing!

P.S.

We both weigh the same in spite if the difference in our heights!!! :wacko:
 
th


In one of the Chip and Dale cartoons, they would get a spot in the Zoo.

They would become happy that there would be no more hard work
of collecting and storing of the nuts to last through the winter!

The actual words spoken by one of them to the other would be,
"All you have to do is just look cute and they will feed you!" :thumb:

Some lucky people have the same style of life.

All they have to do is to get decorated and look cute.

Everything will be delivered at their feet by the Goddess of Fortune.

P.S.

They will LOOK LIKE people who write
Devi Bhaagavatam in the Internet...

(Thanks to their rich silks, jasmines and jewels)

though they may never ever tax their brains
and take up such an exhausting task!

After all "Looks can deceive!" Right???
 
Today is the official mourning day for us Malaysians ..all the bodies of the victims of MH 17 were flown back today after DNA identification.

All of us citizens were asked to wear black and dark colors and the victims were given military honours and laid to rest.

Religious head of various religions were united in prayer.

Cinemas were not screening morning shows and shopping malls played no music.

Its really gloomy and sad day today with dull weather..I guess the sky too wants to cry.

Anyway at last the victims rest in peace.
 
It is quite disgusting to witness humans becoming much worse than animals in the matter of killing innocent fellow human beings as a revenge for their so called cause.It is really very sad that hundreds of passengers including children of MH 17 lost their lives without any reason or rhyme.We join the people of Malaysia in their prayer for the peace of soul of the departed brothers and sisters.

dear Renu,
Reading your moving post I too feel like crying.
People from several countries were brought together by Destiny to fly in that
cursed flight and to lose their lives for reasons beyond their comprehension! :(
ONLY MAN - the occupant of the top rung of the ladder of evolution -
can do such a thing! Shame on us!!!! :frusty:
I join in your prayer for those unknown innocent victims. :rip:
I hope and pray anything like this should never ever happen again! :pray:

That it dawned on those dumbos responsible for this fateful accident

ONLY after five flights had been shot down is shocking.

When we touch fire and get a finger scorched,

will we continue to touch the flame again and again

until all the five /ten fingers are scorched??? :mad2:

Once is pardonable but repeating such costly mistakes

involving precious, talented and young human lives...??? :shocked:
 
Depression is a great mental affliction and the least recognized until it is too late! :(

An empty life, a lonely life, a meaningless life, a life in which no one will ever

miss us is hard to imagine but still exists almost every where.

Man is a social animal and needs human company - good, bad or ugly

The greatest misfortunes in a human life are beautifully stated as

iLamaiyil vaRumai , muthumaiyil thanimai.

How very true!!!

In youth we wish to enjoy everything and poverty makes it impossible.

In old age we wish to be surrounded by our loved ones and it so happens that

the near ones are NOT dear ones and the dear ones are NOT anywhere near!

.
 
People WHO catch hold of the lotus feet of God /Devi never feel lonely.

But sad plight for those who do not believe in God also!

Tejas want to participate and help in everything his dad does

be it in the garden, yard work, house cleaning, tinkering etc.

Whenever Tejas calls out to my son and says,

"Daddy don't leave me alone, and do it by yourself!"

I used to tell him "Kanna no one is really alone anytime

since God is with us always and everywhere."

True! but this will work ONLY if we have complete faith!
 
Varun has come back to USA with his mom safely from Malaysia.

The name of the country gives me a creepy feeling now -

more so when it involves the dear ones flying from there! :scared:

The kutty fellow had not forgotten us in the 3+ months' long

stay in Malaysia and the long gap in our regular chatting.

He called out thatha whom he saw first and then started asking for paatti

- till I appeared in the camera. :)

Kids are zipped inside the sleeping bags so that they remain under the blanket

or rather inside it while they sleep - how ever much they may roll and kick and box! :)

At times they are put inside the sleeping bag long before they go to bed.

It looks funny to see them walk around as if doing a sac race. :)

I bet Tarun kutty will come first in such a sac race - due to his daily practice.

When I told my son to unzip the leg portion, it became like the train of the royal dress.

Tarun the little prince was doing his wibbly wobbly walk with a long train at his back! :baby:
 
She is a cute little sweet girl.

Her name is amazingly appropriate to her. :thumb:

She has been discovered after a prolonged Bhageeratha prayaththanam.

Already people are ready to receive her on the top of their heads literally

- like how Lord Siva did the descending AakAs'a Ganga in his matted

coils. Her nickname is the sweet name of their own daughter - endearing

her to them all the more.

Last but not the least she is the Kondai maNi

about to marry the KaanthamaNi. :)

Any comments / ideas/ suggestions supporting

or challenging or opposing my opinions??? :ear:
