"I am not the body" which walks with me all my life and casts shadows all my life.
Then how can I be the things I wear on the body - which itself is not really me!
People run after money, gold, silk, diamonds, land, house, flat, car, bikes etc.
Some of them even look and sound crazy since they are never satisfied with what they have got.
A person buys a car and the next model with more improvements appears
even before they get weaned pout of the pride of this possession.
So they go for the newest model spending more money.
Then the history starts repeating itself.
They exchange the almost new vehicle paying through the nose for the so called better model.
One day someone said the I have "Swami paithiyam!"
That made me think and come to the decision that Swami paithiyam is the ONLY allowed paithiyam
among the people filled with all kinds of other paithiyams like paNap paithiyam, nagaip paithiyam,
pattu pudavai paithiyam nilap paithiyam etc.!
What do you have to say?

My designer sadi-chudi has achieved its purpose. :thumb:
It keeps people wondering whether it is a sari or a churidar.
Yesterday one kutty fellow asked me earnestly
"Patti is this a sari or a dress?"
I told him,"This was a sari before it became a dress. "
He was happy that both his guesses were partly correct!

One of my friends came to the temple with one of her best saris yesterday.
She looked pretty and cute.
Then I saw that visitors were flooding her house for the rest of the day.
Later I came to know that her elder daughter has attained 'age'.
I can't help wondering how she knew that she had to dress up well since
she will have to entertain the floating population all day long?

Sure! That is why God has made another set of paithiyams
who can't stand anybody being praised for any reason and
go around with a sharp pin puncturing people's happiness!
For them they are the superlative in every field of activity. :first:
There can't be and should not be anybody superior to them in anything!

This is what I call as bragging, dear Sis!!
And sadly this is the characteristic of the people roaming around with the sharp pins!
I can accept ghost busters and even vampire hunters.
But NOT the people who burst even the little (imaginary?) joy and mirth

The statement that "I can do!" shows self confidence. :thumb:
The statement "ONLY I can do !" shows traces of ego. :evil:
The statement "No one else can do!" shows arrogance. :boink:
I bet I have never gone beyond the first type of statements. :nono:
If people want to imagine the second type and
derive the third type of from the first type, then
the least I can say is that they do have a very fertile imagination
and a lot of free time to take up these splitting hair tasks!
P.S
Coming to the issue in hand, who is stopping whom from bragging
if they do have something to brag about and people willing to listen!! :horn:
All the highly over qualified people - who bragged and tried to drag me
around the arena - are completely missing from the sight now! :tsk:
If make yourself really useful, you will move up!
If you think that you are indispensable, you will soon move out!

Nope ..not true.
This a local fruit here.....Mangosteen..its called the Queen of fruits here. Really delicious.
Its high in anti oxidants but certainly does not make one lose weight.

Dear Renu,
To me this looks like a cotton fruit!
Crazy girls eat cotton with tomato sauce to feel full without gaining weight.
Even if it is a real fruit, there is NO truth in the statement that
it makes one lose 2 K.G in less than 12 hours!!
If one can eat the Queen of the delicious fruits and lose weight so easily
will there be any obese people in the world???

OP
I saw her just as I was walking to the temple at 6 A.M.
She was drying her sari from the nearby building,
making it hang on to our side of the compound wall.
Later I saw her in the temple during the pooja.
Her sari, her blouse and her face were all turmeric yellow in color.
She came and knelt in front of the sannadhi with closed eyes for a long time.
I had half a mind to tell her to move to the backside - since she sat with her eyes closed anyway.
She asked the priest for 'thuNNooRu' and a karpooram.
She did harathi with the burning karpooram kept in her right palm
and the suddenly swallowed it in a gulp like an ostrich.
Then she got ready for a thaandavam (swaami aadarathu) with a swaying motion like a coiled cobra.
I guess the priest must have encountered such 'aasuri bhaktaas' earlier in his service.
He applied some viboothi on the top of her head and pressed it tight on the middle of the dome.
Slowly her swaying movement stopped and she drank off all our abhishekha milk in three gulps.
Today's karta fell at her feet seeking her blessings and gave her all the auspicious articles like glass bangles, a small mirror, eyetex, kumkum, turmeric, a blouse bit etc etc!
What made her bring all these items to the temple - just for one person - on this particular day?
Usually some kartaas present such articles but they give these to all the ladies present in the temple.
Was this prearranged drama since I had never seen that woman anywhere near the temple in the past 17+ years.
The Priest kept beaming and saying that Ambaal had chosen to visit us on this day!
I trust Devi visiting us as butterflies, caterpillars and a praying mantis but a thaandavini??? :suspicious:
P.S:
A praying mantis visited the temple, the day before yesterday.
It rested on the forehead of the priest for a longtime.
Then it hopped on to my left arm and stayed there.
Then it jumped on to the sari of my friend.
I did not want it to get squashed and tried to chase it away.
But it ran in an arc - since on of its hind legs was missing.
A little later I found it lying on the floor quite dead!
The priest kept saying that it has taken a punar janmam.
I think it must have attained moksham since it managed
to visit the temple on its five legs before giving up its ghost! :angel:

Have you ever thoiught about this?
The most self conscious person is the one who tries to get the most attention from the crowd.
He/she assumes airs; always keeps checking out how many eyes are on him/her;
talks to loudly, laughs unnecessarily and attracts attention in every possible way.
Some others do this in a more scandalous way by baring their skin daringly.
Once in an Ayyangar wedding a fair girl (usually referred to as asattuch segappu)
came in a thin black revealing net sari and a halter blouse in which the twin sister glands are
supported by a thin tape passing over the neck.
Every eye was riveted on her and she was thoroughly enjoying all the attention she could get.
Some others turn up wearing dresses more showy than those of the bride and groom.
In a wedding the bride and groom must get all the attention and not anybody in the crowd!

'Aabhaasam' does NOT actually mean lewd or mean.
It means that something hurts the eyes by its glitter/ shine /luster etc.
The literal translation for 'Aabhaasam' in Tamil will be "KaNgaL koosugindRana"

The story about the two cats trying to share a cake and a monkey trying to help them to divide it equally between them and ending up eating the whole cake is not just a story.
It has great moral hidden in it but we just laugh it off without going deep into the lesson it tires to teach us - both children and the grown ups!
It is always the middleman who reaps the harvest. He may be an agent, a lawyer, a broker, a relative or any other pest in a human form.
I saw a middle man pocketing silver and gold articles for a throwaway price. He wanted to help an old lady to cash her tit bits of gold and silver. He took them to a goldsmith to get them evaluated.
The goldsmith assumed that he would be given the chance to but them and quoted the cheapest price possible. After all he will be benefiting in both ways by paying less and getting more!
But the middle man played a double game. He made the lady believe that the goldsmith bought the things. He made the goldsmith believe that the old lady changed her mind in the last minute.
So pocketed all the silver and gold dirt cheap. See what I mean?
In the past lessons for successful living were conveyed in the form of simple true to life stories! :thumb:

'SagirthaamaNi' is the corrupted form of 'SahadharmiNi' meaning a man's lawful wife.
She is supposed to observe and follow the path of Dharma along with her husband.
She gets half the good merits (puNyam) for the good actions performed by her husband.
But if she commits sins, 100% of it will be transferred to her husband's account
since he failed to guide her in the righteous path of Dharma.
In olden time 1/6 th of whatever a man produced ( except his children of course)
went to the King's kazhana and food storage bins.
In other words 1/6 th was the tax due to the king and his government. Things do not rest there!
One sixth of the sins committed by the citizens went into King's personal account or paapam and
PuNyam. Scary! Isn't it? That is why in the olden days Kings were keen to make sure that they rule
righteously and their citizens remain dhaarmic in their behavior and all their dealings.

More and more women in their fertility period want to invade the holy Sabarimala temple! WHY???
Their animated talks on the equal rights being denied for women makes me chuckle heartily!
Hope they won't go one step further and demand that women should be allowed
inside the Kerala temples topless just as the menfolk are allowed!
When will these women realize that man and woman are made so differently that
they can nerve ever be or become really equal!
God had made women superior to men in many fields and these women
want to degrade themselves by becoming equal to men! :tsk:

Drop might be similar to bird dropping !
One of my friends said that she lost half a kilo just in 12 hours!
Reason: She ate a lot of cucumber salad and visited the restroom a few more times for # 1. :bolt:
