Think or sink!

I can't forget the African President known for his weird eating habits :evil:

who sent the steward of the flight swooning with shock. :faint:

What did he actually do ?

He asked for the passenger's list instead of the menu card to order his food!!! :rolleyes:
 
As for a virgin bride who stains the broadsheet during her nuptials

I bet the groom could NOT have been a true brahmachari!

A true brahmachari will be so clumsy on the first attempt that

he will not be able to consummate the wedding on the first night!

So it takes a virgin bride and an experienced groom

to achieve this rare feat - worthy of celebration! :rolleyes:
 
I AM becoming sick and tired of the unfailing Modus Operandi of the thieves!

Someone turns up and says that we have dropped some money.

The moment our attention is diverted, he takes off like a gazelle after

taking off the money bag or jewel box or whatever he wanted to take.

IF ONLY we have the presence of mind to tell him firmly,

"Is that so sir? You may help yourself with that money!

After all You have found it. So you can keep it"

It will be his turn to become become crestfallen,

beaten at his own game and our valuables will be saved! :thumb:
 
Recap # 2.

வீணே பழிப்பது ஏன்?

"நல்லவன் ஒருவனைக் கண்டு வா!"என்று
பொல்லாத துரியோதனை அனுப்பினால்

நாடு முழுவதும் அலைந்து திரிந்த பின்னர்
"தேடுவது வீண்!" என்றவாறு திரும்பினானாம்.

"பொல்லாதவன் ஒருவனைக் கண்டு வா!" என்று
நல்லவன் தருமனை அனுப்பினால் அவனும்

நாடு முழுவதும் அலைந்து திரிந்த பின்னர்
"தேடுவது வீண்!" என்றவாறு திரும்பினானாம்.

ஒரே நாட்டில், ஒரே நேரத்தில், எப்படி எல்லோரும்
கெட்டவர்களாகவும், நல்லவர்களாகவும் முடியும்?

மக்கள் மாறவில்லை, கண்ட கண்கள் வேறு வேறு.
மக்கள் பிரதிபலித்தனர் காண்பவர் மனநிலையை!

பொல்லாதவனுக்கு எல்லோரும் பொல்லாதவர்களே!
நல்லவருக்கு எல்லோரும் மிகவும் நல்லவர்களே!

மனிதத்தை இழந்தவன் காண்பது விலங்குகளையே!
புனிதத்தை இழந்தவன் காண்பது போக்கிரிகளையே!

தனித்துவத்தை இழந்தவன் காண்பது கும்பலையே!
இனிப்பை இழந்தவன் காண்பது கசப்பினையே!

மோசக்காரன் காண்பது மோசடி செய்பவனை!
நேசம் அற்றவன் காண்பது கல்நெஞ்சினையே!

அத்தனை குறைகளும் தனக்குள் குடியிருக்க
அத்தனை மனிதரையும் வீணே பழிப்பது ஏன்?
 
It finally happened yesterday.
The meeting did not take place since
NO ONE KNEW when to go and where to!
So in future if you want to conduct anything
without people turning up for the event use this technique.
DO NOT specify the Time and / or Venue of the event! :thumb:
Your conscience will be clear since you notified every one! Right???
 
In no other country these things can happen even in our wildest dream!

Ever problem - real or imaginary, personal or public - is brought down to the public roads. :wacko:

There would be an instantaneous "Raasta Roko!" in the busiest road of the city. :hand:

What IF people hurrying to catch a train or a flight get delayed? :yawn:

What IF a lady rushing to the maternity hospital to deliver her child gets delayed? :yawn:

What if someone is in a hurry to buy a life saving medicine for his family member? :yawn:

'தெறி' பார்க்கா விட்டால்

பரப்பில் மட்டும் தானா? :decision:
 
There is something wrong with our bone density. :(

The vociferous mami fell down on her face while she bent down
to pick something from the floor and broke her left wrist.

My plump friend had to apply sudden brake while riding her scooter
and she fell down on the road and fractured her left wrist.

When we were kids a fracture was the event of a decade - if not of a century.
Now it is have become the order of the day!

But when we were kids the plaster of Paris bandage was a burden
giving rise to many discomforts in the long run.

Now the treatment has become instantaneous
- just as the fracture itself has become!

Fix the broken pieces using a wire/ clips/ plate/ nut and screw and
let loose the victim to attend to the daily chores as usual! :roll:
 
The first-day-first-show-syndrome lasts through out one's life time.

That person insists on being the first person in any queue he has to stand in!

Be it a queue in the Railway counter, Ration shop, Milk booth or just a line in a bank!

Those living in a platform, wish for a hut.

Those who live in a hut, wish for a flat.

Those who live in a flat, wish for a bungalow.

Those who live in a bungalow, wish for a villa.

Those who own a villa, want it in a summer resort.

MEN and WOMEN are never ever really satisfied.

Their need and greed seem to merge inseparably! :couch2:
 
Recap #3.

எழுத எதற்கு மதுவும், மாதுவும்???

ஓமர் காயம் முதல் லீ போ வரை
ஒரு போலவே விரும்புவார்கள்

ஒரு கையில் மதுக் கிண்ணமும்,
ஒரு தோளில் இளம் பெண்ணும்!

மது உள்ளே இறங்கிய பின்னர்
மாதுடன் கூடிக் கிறங்கிய பின்னர்

ஊற்றெடுக்கும் அவர்கள் கவிதைகள்
மற்றபடி உருவாகாது எதுவுமே!

பெண்கள் எப்படிப் புனைகிறார்கள்
மண்ணில் சிறந்த கவிதைகளை...

மயங்கிக் கிறங்காமலும் மற்றும்
மயக்கும் மது அருந்தாமலும்???
 
NOW everyone climbs on to a cell phone tower to grab our attention.

Will it be a good idea to make the tower give a mild shock

mild enough NOT to harm the heroic person and

strong enough to discourage his climbing adventure??? :rolleyes:
 
My name being written/ addressed as Visalakshmi was bad enough for me! :doh:

IMAGINE BEING IDENTIFIED AS UISALAKSHMI!!!!:wacko:

I can not even figure out how to pronounce my own name!!! :(
 
dear Sir!
Namaste! :)

I have listened to the cassette in which Sri. Maharajapuram Santhanam
had rendered some of the compositions of Swami Dayananda Saraswati.

I did not check up to find out whether they are available in YouTube.
Thank you for giving the very useful link in this thread! :pray2:
 
A good news to those who love to read about the LeelAs of Lord VignEswar.

Ever since some of my blogs got archived by An Artificial Intelligence in December 2015,
I was feeling like a fish out of water or a person rudely locked out of his own house. :(

Now BhArgava PurANam-1 is taking shape since 12th April.

It is the real name of the PurANa talking about the greatness of Ganapathy = Guna Nidhi! :)

The link to the BhArgava PurANam-part 1, consisting of ~130 poems and
the translated stories in English is given below.

https://bhargavapuranam.wordpress.com/

In all likelihood this will be completed in a day or two and
BhArgava PurANa-Part 2 will be launched soon by the grace of Lord GanEsA! :hail:

One may have a thinking as to whether Shorthand is alive and still learnt by the students of the
present generation. There is a great demand for Qualified Stenographers and in fact there is a
dearth of qualified students in the Employment Exchanges. MNCs too look for qualified people
similar to the Govt Organisations.
 
THE PRINCIPLE OF THE TWO PARALLEL LINES! ( AKA IRU KODUGAL!)

When we have to catch a train at 6 A.M, we have to be in the station latest by 5-30 A.M.

That means leaving the house at 5 A.M and that means getting up from the bed at 4 A.M.

So how do you like to be told thus,

"No need to make pooris for B/F and elaborate lunch for taking with us.

Just lemon rice and curds rice will be sufficient for the journey!" :wacko:

The days are gone when I used to get up at 2 A. M and prepare three courses of food,
for four people, for all the three meals for the day of travel!

I was so to say the least 35 years younger then or just half old as I am now! :rolleyes:
 
Recap #4

இல்லாமல் முடியாது! :nono:

பொல்லாத நண்பர்கள் இல்லாமல்
கல்லூரியில் கலாட்டா செய்யவோ, :brick:

தோழிகள் துணையின்றி தலைவி
திரைப்படங்களில் நடனம் ஆடவோ, :dance:

குண்டர்படை துணையின்றித் தலைவன்
தொண்டர்களிடம் அரசியல் செய்யவோ :blah:

அடியாட்கள் இன்றித் திரை வில்லன்
அடாவடிகள் அடுக்காகச் செய்யவோ, :heh:

பக்தர் கூட்டம் இன்றி சில மனிதர்கள் :flock:
முக்தி அளிக்கும் சந்நியாசிகள் ஆகவோ :angel:

முடியாது, முடியாது, முடியவே முடியாது! :nono:
ஒடித்து இவர்களை நாம் விலக்கிவிட்டால் :hand:

ஹீரோக்கள் ஜீரோக்கள் ஆகிவிடுவார்கள். :pout:
ஹீரோயின்களும் கூட அங்ஙனமே!!! :rolleyes:
 
The musudu husband + asdau wife combination never changes. :(

He takes pride in scolding her in front of the guests visiting them. :rant:

The policy or motto is "The more the audience... the more noisy he should become!" :horn:

Will he ever stop to think and realize how awkward the guests feel :wacko:

and how awful the wife feels whenever this happens! :doh:

I bet the musudu can't survive for ONE day without the services rendered by the asadu.

The asadu knows this as well as the musudu does - both they just carry on all the same!

Well! If he had so much empathy and sympathy he won't indulge in such activites in the first place!

Short hand will never go out of use - even when we have many new gadgets which can type what we dictate. The reason?
The machines depend on how correctly we pronounce the English words.
We may even have to train them to understand our pronunciation.
But human machines can decipher the Indian English well as the
American, British, Australian, African and the Asian versions! :)
 
Four men came to collect donation for the festival in a nearby Devi temple.

They were huffing and puffing unable to beat the heat of the midday Sun.

I offered them drinking water along with my donation and they became really very happy!

I could have given them cool fresh lemonade - if they had the patience and time to wait for a few minutes.

But the teen aged boys playing cricket just outside my flat do not seem to notice the Sun or register its heat!:flame:

There is a saying in Malayaalam "kuttikkum pattikkum kuLir illaa!"
(meaning "Small children and dogs do not feel the cold") :smow:

I think the same is true of the hot sun - at least for the kutties since
the pattis may roam around in search of water, hanging their tongues out! :wof:
