have you heard that curiousity killed the cat.

as an adult if someone wants to be herself ignoring those around, others would not take it lying down.

they will chase her down and fix her for being that way [ This is for our friend Rji]

Poet bharathi said ' koodi vilayaadu pappa

many adults would like to live in relative isolation far away from the maddening crowd of kith and kin

they are destined to be chased by friends and relatives . thats my special wish for them.lol
 
Define Royal-unwelcome-welcome!

Defining may be difficult.

So I will give the symptoms and indications instead!

1. The 4 year old grand daughter will make faces through the glass panel in the door and disappear with her toys.

2. The daughter - whom we think we know very well - will disappear as fast as a slithering snake inside one of the rooms and will not reappear till we leave.

3. The grand mother WILL have to open the front door -since the others are not ready to do it. She will promptly disappear into the kitchen to cook lunch

[ தலையைக் கண்டதும் (தோசைக்) கல்லை போடுவதற்கு பதிலாக
தலைக் கண்டதும் குக்கரை அடுப்பில் ஏற்றுவாள் ]

4. The madhyaana brahmaNan cousin will remember that he has not yet taken bath and will disappear into the bathroom.

5. The only jeevan willing to talk will be the 90+ (100 minus???) year old paatti who is stone deaf and blind as a bat (no disrespect meant since I am stating the facts).

6. The fan will not switched ON though we had gone there on a hot noon

7. A glass of water will not be offered though we had gone there on a hot noon.

BUT THESE visits will continue in spite of this royal-unwelcome-welcome
since that man is the distant distant cousin of my man.

And when I am forced to listen to the lambaa chowdaa lectures on self respect
I will imitate the Earth where நிலம் என்னும் நல்லாள் மெல்ல நகும்!

Keeping yourself cheerful depends on the health condition, right? :decision:

Dear Raji,
Counting our blessings (instead of the endless miseries)
and feeling thankful to god for not making us suffer
as much as some of the people we know (and sympathize with)
will help us remains happy and cheerful- in spite of everything.
I just returned from a lab after giving blood and urine samples
for complete analysis and shelling a four figure amount towards it.
My face looks like a football and I must know WHY it does so??? Right???

Most of the time God gives us what we want.
But sometimes He gives what we do not want
but what He knows to be the best thing for us!
That is why "Man proposes and God disposes"!!!
I had a neighbor who wished to live with her hubby
after getting her sons married off quickly.
But she felt crestfallen when her sons
not only lived in the same city as she did
but also in the same house as she did.
May be that was the best thing for the whole family!
 
[h=1]நினைப்பதும், நடப்பதும்[/h]

நினைப்பது ஒன்று, நடப்பது ஒன்று என்று,
நித்தமும் பலமுறை நாம் சொல்வது உண்டு.
நினைத்தது எல்லாம் நடந்தது என்றால்,
நினைக்கவே மாட்டோம், நாம் இறைவனை!

நடந்ததையே நாம் நினைத்துக்கொண்டிருந்தால்,
நடக்க வேண்டியவற்றை மறந்தே போவோம்.
நல்லது எது, அல்லாதது எது, என்று அறிவான்,
நம்மையும் விட நன்றாகவே, நம் இறைவன்.

ஜுரம் வந்த குழந்தைக்கு மருந்துகளை,
நேரம் தவறாமல் தாய் தருவதில்லையா?
குழந்தை கேட்கும் என்று காத்திருப்பாளா?
குழந்தை கேட்பதெல்லாம் கொடுத்திருப்பாளா?

கேட்கும் கெட்டதைக் கொடுத்து விடுவதா ?
கேட்காத நல்லதைக் கொடுத்து விடுவதா?
தாய்க்குத் தெரியும் குழந்தையின் தேவைகள்.
தலைவன் அறிவான், நம் அனைவரின் தேவைகள்.

கேட்டும் கொடாதவர் சிறியோர் ஆவர் ;
கேளாமலே கொடுப்பார் சீரிய பெரியோர் .
பெரியவனாகவும், வலியவனாகவும்;
அரியவனாகவும், எளியவனாகவும்;

தாயுமாகித் தந்தையுமாகி, நம்மை
தாங்கி நிற்கும் தன்னிகர் அற்றவன்,
தருவான் என்றும் நமக்கு நல்லதையே.
தர மாட்டான் நாம் கேட்பதெல்லாமே!

தாயை நம்பும் சேய் போல் நாமும்,
தயாபரனை நம்புவோம் முழுமையாக.
“நம்பினார் கெடுவதில்லை!” இது நமக்கு,
நான்கு மறைகள் தரும் உத்தரவாதம்!

வாழ்க வளமுடன்,
 விசாலாக்ஷி ரமணி.

MAN PROPOSES, GOD DISPOSES.
If a man gets everything he wants, he will forget God. If he remembers
everything he wanted but did not get, he won’t be able to go with his life.
God knows what is best for us and gives us exactly that.
A mother gives medicines to a child suffering from fever. She won’t wait
till the child asks for it. At the same time she won’t give everything the
child wants to eat. She will give only what is best for the child.
God is our mother. He knows what is best for us – better than we do! He
will give us the best and not all what we seek from Him.
We have to trust in Him with a whole heart as a child does its mother.
 
Very apt. But unfortunately people reach the God when there is problem and then forget it. We will be the last generation who listen to elders and also to youngsters.
 
Untouchability can be of two types. :decision:

When one person wants to keep his distance from the other :bolt:

and when one person wants the other person keep his distance. :hand:

I am happy I do not fall under either of these two categories. :grouphug:

dear Mr. Krish! :yo:

I just logged out and saw your name and entered the forum again.

Numbers are just numbers and please do not let them bother you.

I am a Gemini and used be a two-in-one person.

Apparently the ratio seams to have increased now! :)

Wisdom is the fruit of experiences - more of bitter than of sweet. :ballchain:

If your life has been sweet all along, you must feel happy and proud! :thumb:

I am a relative of R.R.ji and she is my guru though younger to me.

Even Lord Krishna needed an Arjun to bring out his divine gospel.

Even a cow needs a calf to bring out its milk.

Even a burning fire need a blow pipe to make a roaring flame.

How do you like to go on talking with no one ever making a peep? :(

Forum is for interaction.

Forum is for exchange of knowledge -

no matter how much or how less we know.

People want to belong and NOT BE locked away in ivory towers! :nono:

I love one year young Tarun's sweet prattle

as much as I do 2 year young Varun sweet Tamil

and 4 years young Tejas' smart reading and

5 years young Juju's fantastic fairy tale stories.

Nothing is too insignificant in the world.

If only cuckoos were supposed to sing

the forest will be very quiet and dull indeed.

It is the jargon that makes the forest so much

more interesting than arranged music concerts.

WELCOME! Nal varavu! Swaagat! Suswaagata! To everyone! :pray2:

I will tell you my approach.

never ponder and wonder what to do

do what appeals to you at any moment and simply impulsively do it. reaching out to all indiscriminately is my basic mantra

there are so many at least in this forum to monitor you closely and correct you and show you the light

So I enjoy total freedom in posting whatever I feel like and wait for others to scream stop it,lol

it is a great experience

I have a couple of members chasing and reading my posts and pointing out contradictions and mistakes

it keeps them also entertained.
 
dear VRji
thank you for letting us into your private world of little children who have been a source of great joy for you

wisdom is forgetting if possible the bitter experiences and live in a make believe world of sweet thoughts if need be

rather live in a make believe world where there are only cuckoos are singing and there are no roars of the lion

I assure you it will not all be boring.

join the singing of cuckoos and celebrate living

Sir!
May I know who are those two trailers who keep following you! :)
I am talking about actions and you are talking about words!
Posts can be corrected and rewritten with the help of the invincible trailers
but actions can't be undone once they have been done impulsively.

Dear sir,
I do not remember the bitter experiences at all but I do remember the wisdom I learned from them.
My mind is calm, my thoughts are good, clear, cheerful and healthy.
I said I wanted the jargon and not the monotonous cuckoo's sad song.
As for counting and correcting the contradictions in this post,
I will rather leave that job to those two super-specialists with a lot of experience! :)

your posts are delightful free of muck why invite trailers in ?

in this forum only words can be posted

when one acts impulsively , one also learns thru experience how to undo atleast partially the undesirable effects of the action.

out of ten actions one or two may not be good enough . one can always reduce their negative effects or live with them.with 70 to 80 percent good actions one can be

considered a noble human being.

suggest actively consider it
