[FONT=wf_segoe-ui_normal]So, the festival has gone as suddenly as it had arrived.
Your colourful diyas now protectively hold tiny pools of melted wax and ash.
Your rangolis are still radiant, albeit slightly dishevelled.[/FONT]
[FONT=wf_segoe-ui_normal]As you walk on the streets this morning,
you catch sight of last night's celebrations all around,
and you probably see or hear yourself and your loved ones laughing,
in that very spot that someone cracked a joke yesterday. [/FONT]
[FONT=wf_segoe-ui_normal]Friends and extended family have now gone back home,
making promises to meet again soon.[/FONT]
[FONT=wf_segoe-ui_normal]The sweets and savouries have now been stored away,
and will be served at tea-time, as mementoes of diwali.[/FONT]
[FONT=wf_segoe-ui_normal]The clothes and jewellery that you chose with great care,
that made their grand appearance yesterday,
have been put away for the next big occasion.[/FONT]
[FONT=wf_segoe-ui_normal]As all the festivities slowly recede into the distance, I ask you for a promise...that in your heart,
you will let the lights remain. That in spirit, and in being, your celebrations
will continue...that you will attempt to meet your lovedn ones a little more often.
And that the laughter that came in abundance yesterday,
will make an appearance everyday.[/FONT]
[FONT=wf_segoe-ui_normal]Here's wishing you all a happy festive spirit,
all year round.[/FONT]
[FONT=wf_segoe-ui_normal]Lots of love and laughter. ?[/FONT]

I appreciate the sentiment.

If one could go around with head in the clouds, life would be one long celebration.

If one laughs abnormally, others might think this fellow is nuts.

சிவகாசி மத்தாப்பு வெடி leaves smoke when blown

But these சிரிப்பு மத்தாப்பு வெடி are my clone! my bone!

Delhi is enveloped in smog.

In places like punjabi bagh in west delhi and anandvihar in east delhi, SPM is 9 times the normal .

In others like rajiv chowk it is 5 to six times.

I skipped my morning walk.

No sense in becoming sicker.

No newspapers for the day.

The capital is on holiday week.

Today goverdhan puja and tomorrow bhai dhuj.

On thursday it is chath puja.

Bihari labour is going off to native places

Only the soulful music of talat mahmud ghazals can be a balm and lift ones spirits.

Shutting oneself off like this , one feels like Tihar jail inmate .

Even they put up a show directed by a jailed bollywood director for diwali.

All TVs can offer is some militant encounters and dismal state of indian stock markets . Samvat 2073 is not bringing cheers to anyone in stock markets. Even tatas are engaged in ugly

spats with kin of shapoorji pallonji.

I am looking for some happy event anywhere in the world.the US election is emulating us with right wing Trump becoming attractive with email scandal of

democratic candidate Clinton.





When a city shuts down like this , one feels helpless.

Yes, that has made the source credit a bit difficult. Good work RRji.

Thank you, Ganesh Sir!
I google searched because I felt that I had read these words a few years back! :ranger:

Sentiments do not change with time.

Environment does.

You are welcome, "James Bond" of the forum!!

 

[Raji Ram]

You are welcome, "James Bond" of the forum!!

​Wow! That gives me an idea!

If someone asks me 'Who are you?', I can say 'I am Ram... Raji Ram!!'

 

[prasad1]

You are not Ram!!!!!

"Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy" was a remark made during the 1988 United States vice-presidential debate by Democratic vice-presidential candidate Senator Lloyd Bentsen to Republican vice-presidential candidate Senator Dan Quayle. Jack Kennedy was a reference to John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States. Since then, the words "You're no Jack Kennedy," or some variation on Bentsen's remark, have become a part of the political lexicon as a way to deflate politicians or other individuals perceived as thinking too highly of themselves.

 

[Raji Ram]

You are not Ram!!!!! ........

Oh, yeah! I stand corrected.
I should say, 'I am Mrs. Ram; Mrs. Raji Ram!' :decision:

BTW, my dear sister was Mrs. Ramani Garu in Vizag and very soon she became Ramani Garu!!

You have been smart in choice of DILs .

Your rules for making the right choice needs to be shared.lol

JJ ji

I did not follow any rules infact rules were broken My 1st DinL star ஆயில்யம் When she got married I had serious health problem - on 60 mgs of prednisolone (12 tabs)/day When I recived a call from Chicago on a New Year day informing that they have decided to marry I was very happy! This Girls father approached us 2 years before and we felt it was suitable - My Father was ill and my son had come to bangalore so all of us were in Banglore - but this girl was in US and was back 2 days before my son left for US - I asked him to meet her and after meeting her he told me -The Girl is nice But I am not in a position to decide I have to finish my MBA at Columbia University and a huge loan to repay after my studies - had explained to her the situation and you forget about it What will say if her parents contact me? - They wo'nt - She would see that they don't approach you! Well They were in contat over 2 years and after a mature decision informed us - Popular concept ஆயில்யம் மாமியார அடிச்சுடும் - while on very high dose of steroid - I broke that rule and asked her to inform her parents also in Madras about their decision they were surpraised In fact we never had பாெண்பார்கல் - சாெ ஜ்ஜி & பஜ்ஜி she visited my parents in Banglore they were happy to see her After a week was in Madurai sort of மாமியார் பார்கல்!

I am free from steroids and Insulin as well and I am on oral Metformin only for quite sometime - ஆயில்யம் seems good for M in L!

Choice about 2nd D in L will follow!

J J ji should remember that writing facts is considered boasting in our dear forum! :horn:

 

[krish44]

JJ ji is matter of fact. She was replying to my query.

She would have collected sojji and bajji also on one of the celebrations with DIL.

It requires a lot to nurture professional talent in girls after their marriage by in laws.

She was kind to overlook birth stars and beliefs associated with it to accept a girl as DIL.

To accept sons choice without seeing the girl and go along with the decision to delay marriage by two years calls for a lot of understanding and maturity.

Full marks to her.My upvote for her.

.

This is about a Star gazer He was Rtd CEO of UCO Bank and re emplyed as Fianacial consultant in the Ministry of Agri. to advise them regarding funding of their projects He was on official visit to Madurai and visited us to see a possible alliance to his daughter! She was B.Arch and this man was s frustrated to find a suitable grrom for her - I told him my son is ICWA CA and may not be suitable for his daughter by qualification & his star is மூலம் He said that was no issue! Gave my sons jathagam to look into ஜாதக பாெருத்தம் - He was agitated - All ஜாேஸ்யர்s are scoundrels Rouges I have lost faith in them! After cosulting different Josiers finalised one match and even printed invitation but was withdrawn - my daughter did not want that match! I made a fool of myself with these formalities If you are interested you can match the jathagam my only conern Boy and the girl should have மனப்பாெருத்தம் He made me look small !

Still He took the Jothagam and a photo of my son for approval & I will contact you nex week end and let them meet in Luxury hotel and decide!

There was no call and I called him - He said he was in Hyderabad officially and will contat me in 2 days Yes i got a letter enclosing my sons photo with this message I am sorry I have no say in this my old widowed சித்தி(90+) who lives with us is agaist மூலம். I have to respect her wish If some thing happens to me your son should not be blamed please excuse! Yes again an ஆதி மூலம் story! அக்ரஹாரத்தல் கழுதை !

The fear syndrome attached to Moolam and Ayilyam nakshatrams are nothing to do with astrology but more based upon certain old believes.Certain parents don't prefer moolam nakshtram even though the horoscopes otherwise match.

 

[Raji Ram]

Only Moolam star for girl is objectionable because of the saying 'peN Moolam nirmoolam'!

And, there is a saying 'aaN Moolam arasALum' and guys with Moolam star are sought after! :hug:

I am surprised to see the fear of a boy with birth star Moolam!!

Few more stars that may be the cause of fear syndrome Kettai Pooradam and Vishakam !

 

[Raji Ram]

Chithirai is supposed to be bad for boys. It will separate his father from the family!! :fear:

One of our forum friends wrote that he was born on Chirta pournami day and his father left his family soon! :sad:

I found one interesting page while surfing the web. Here is an extract:

''சித்திரை அப்பன் தெருவிலே :ஆடி மாதத்தில் தம்பதிகள் ஒன்று சேர்ந்தால், சித்திரை மாதத்தில் குழந்தை பிறக்கும்.

சித்திரை மாதம் கோடை வெயில் சுட்டெரிக்கும் காலத்தில் பிறக்கும் குழந்தைகள் அவதிப்படும் என்றும், குழந்தைகளைக்

காப்பாற்ற தந்தைமார்கள் தெருத் தெருவாக அலைய வேண்டிருக்கும் என்பதையும் சித்திரை நட்சத்திரத்தில் குழந்தை

பிறந்தால், அப்பன் ஓட்டாண்டியாகி தெருவில் நிற்பான் என்று மாற்றி, மக்களை ஏமாற்றிக் கொண்டிருக்கிறார்கள். சித்திரை

மாதத்தில் பிறக்கும் குழந்தை அவதிப்படும் என்ற காரணத்துக்காகவே, ஆடி மாதத்தில் தம்பதியரை பிரித்து வைக்கும்

சம்பிரதாயம் கடைப்பிடிக்கப்பட்டு வருகிறது.''

There are more interesting info in this page: ஜோதிடம் பொய்ப்பதில்லை!
