good lady visa,

the women, are they not used to giving it good to the menfolk at home (mrs K is pretty handy with the rolling pin..ouch!!).

i would have thought they would have developed a good handle and a strong wrist, all key ingredients for sound sharp percussion. n'est pas?

Dear Mr. Kunjuppu,

My being called a good lady sounds like a farce even to me
especially since it also seems to be forced :)

Mr. K is lucky to be able to express her emotions with expertise and a rolling pin!
Shows that the V.Q is favorable to her

But it not so for all women.
Most of us face :croc:

All household chores involve flicking or twisting motion of the wrists and fingers
rendering them stronger as days roll by. :bump2:

Woman also becomes Mam-Arm-Strong by doing
heavy duty chores and jobs in the house and garden. :thumb:
 
For example a few songs which I sang with ease during younger days, gives a choking feeling, as I grow old! It is my

experience. Also, I am unable to sing a few touchy songs now!

My dear Raji,
I have been like that ever since I can remember.
Hamsaanandhi and Subhapantuvaraali make me breakdown
even when I think of the songs.
Not that I do not sing them.
I will singing and crying at the same time

:Cry:... :baby:... :sing:... = Cry Baby Singer!!! :rolleyes:

dear Mr. TVK,

I am trained Bharatha naaytyam artist and was a teacher for over 40 years.

Have it from me . I will look and sound as sweet (as my age and size will permit)
as the heroines of the Tamil movies rendering sad songs! :)

The ONLY difference will be that my tears will not be induced by glycerine. :rolleyes:

I promise to sing for you one of these tearful songs when we meet next
either in Raji mam's house or your house in Chennai. :)
 
Dear VR ji,

When I sing any bhajan during prayer sessions..a lot of people tell me I smile when I sing.

I tend to smile when I am enjoying a bhajan..never cried so far.
 

Dear Renu,

Bhajans in praise of God / Goddess could be sung with a bright smile. :D

But a few philosophical songs are sure to bring a lump in the throat!

One of my friend maamis stopped such a song in the middle saying that

she can not complete it! Here is an example:

 Kandu Kandu - M S Subbulakshmi
 
Latha%20Ramachar%202.JPG

Karnataka Mahila Laya Madhuri and has performed all over India, Europe, and the USA with many of India's top artists.

Dear Renu,
Bhajan are usually robust and pep up the singers.
But certain raagaas and lyrics of certain songs can produce copious tears.

Why tears..?..Certain 'raagas' of better-half will produce 'Fear' also...!!

Whoever produces Fear can only be

the bitter half and not the better half. :nono:

How about those who can make a person

lose his/ her voice by a mere glance??? :mmph:
 
Have you tried this tongue twister???

Betty bought some butter.

The butter was so bitter.

So she bought some better butter

to make the bitter butter better butter!

Is there a way to make the

bitter half a better half ??? :confused:
 
Bhajans especially those on Ayyappa
and the aarti song in the Hare Krishna temple are
physical fitness training sessions.
The sing and dance and jump and hop for so much time. :clock:

visa, i agree that ayyappa bhajans can be not only exhilarating, but also lots of fun....as below..

it reminds me of my teen years at. the local ayyappa samajam.. we used to start off the bhajan 'onnaam thirupadi ayyane pon ayyappaa.. and conitnue a few thirupadis...disappear...

..

..

and come back after 100

..

..

and when 108 was reached

..

..

start off with 'onnaam thrupadi.... :) :)

much to the chagrin of the old folks,

who were now caught in a trap..as traditionbound, they felt obliged to continue the song till the last thirupadi..

..this went on ..till the more vigilant oldies used to ensure that we were kept away from the sanctum sanctorum :)

those were the days........

I am cracking up here, my colleagues wondering why so, thanks Kunjuppuji for your post, I am recalling my childhood/mischievous days especially during poojays/bhajans the way we used to get impatient and used to start bothering elders especially oldies that get irritated easily....here I go again, cracking up...Thanks Kunjuppuji !!!

Thanks,
Jai SiyaRaam
 

Dear Kunjuppu Sir,

You write hilarious post and we enjoy reading them. :)

But which Ayyappaa temple has 108 thirupadis??

I have heard of 18 only. While singing that song, huge camphor pieces are lit on the model thirupadi. (that number)

All the lights are put off and when all the 18 camphor pieces glow....... It is an exciting experience. :dance:

Here is the song by the metallic voiced Sri. Veeramani

(Please do not miss the 18 padis glowing - from 11 sec to 29 secs in this video)

Onnam Thiruppadi Saranam Pon Ayyappa with Description about 18 steps

Dear Mr. Kunjuppu,
The kids have always known inherently how to irritate the oldies... right???
Even if the song is only 18 steps instead of the 108 steps,
repetition will still be tiring for the elders.
I think it was a fun filled way to teach the kids counting at least up to 18
so that when they grow up they will never ask,
" 1, 2, 3...What comes after 3???" :)
