And probably Iyer mAma because he has horizontal strips on his forehead!

 

[renuka]

Ha..Ha.. He looks like 'MAAMAA' Harmon..!!

TVK

He is HOT Harmon..most people his age will have some pot belly!Anyone can look good at a young age but very few look good when they are older.

You should watch NCIS where he comes as special agent Gibbs..I never miss any episode..he is such a good actor too.

​We all teased him saying the same!

Dear Smt. RR,

As Renuka says if so mush has happened in the forum, it surprises me I was not aware of it.

 

[sravna]

Dear Renu,

It seems Sravna Sir scrolls down other posts to 'see' only your replies! :lol:

Dear Smt. RR,

Some divine effect. I just replied to you and saw this message.

There was a million $ question from one of our friends.

'Why are many members anonymous in our forum?'

My answer was, 'So that it will be very easy to fight!'

Dear RR ji,

May be...but I think some might actually be shy.

That is why I really admire you for your ability to be a life wire and organizing skills...not everyone can be as gracious as you..you know for me if I see a crowd the first thing I will do is run!

I know I can never be a gracious host cos to be a host one needs to have guests first!LOL

I am terrified at the idea of having guests at home and till today even my best friends and cousins do not know where I stay! If I meet anyone I meet them at some restaurant or at my mums house.

So RR ji what ever said and done..you are the best when it comes to being friendly..its a gift..believe me..not everyone has this gift.

 

[Raji Ram]

Dear Renu,

Thanks for your kind words. A M Sir, Meera and Harini were excellent hosts too! I like to invite people for get together-s

and join in get together arranged by friends! The next one in our family is on 30th December evening!

Dear RR Ji,

There was get together in my relatives house last week and I did not even go!
They must mad with me I am sure.

Partly I shun crowd cos in my job I have to talk non stop to many humans and treat them for their various complains so when I am done with work..I like to be alone and avoid crowds and get togethers....further more "interacting" online does lessen the real life interpersonal skills..have you noticed that kids these days do not like to talk much??? They are busy with their smart phones.

Dear RR Ji,

have you noticed that kids these days do not like to talk much??? They are busy with their smart phones.

Doctor Mam,

In some of the families, Moms too are busy with smart phone ignoring the children. They don’t pay enough attention to children which they richly deserve. Just read a news item on this subject couple of days ago.

Regards

I saw a mom playing a video game in her laptop, leaving her two little kids with her husband, during my recent train journey.

Poor guy had a tough time managing the hyperactive kids! :ballchain:

I have a feeling that computer games are an easy target. It is the parents fault, that kids do not have interpersonal skill. Parents can control, and set limits on the time they can use gadgets. Parents can interact with others and set the example. If parents are so selfish that they want their relaxation more than their children's skill, you can not blame computer games.

If talking time to act in social settings with family and friends is considered a chore, the child will never interact with them.
I know of couple who will not come if their child is not invited to a party, and I respect that. I do expect the child be behave in a group setting. Then again my child is now 30 years old, so things might have changed.

 

[Raji Ram]

Dear Renu and Prasad Sir,

Those who are siblings also react differently in get together-s! Some mingle freely with new people

whereas some stay away and wait for the others to 'break the ice'!

Dear Prasad ji,

As as I said earlier..not everyone is gifted with good interpersonal skills..people change with time.

Some as we age tend to prefer being quiet cos in this world there are actually very few people that we can really trust..and as we age we realize that number keeps getting smaller and smaller and at times we have no topic to even talk.

So its not all about being selfish...its about choosing who really matters in life.

Kids have their own agenda..they meet up with their own friends often..so they are having a good time.

Wherever you choose and make yourself available...!!

[Raji Ram]

Whether it is on earth or any planet, I think I should NOT to be too enthusiastic to arrange / in participation!

Got a nice certificate (in another thread) for being a live wire of our December 2013 get together!

Some more titles are also added to me!

 

[Raji Ram]

The easiest way to meet forum friends is to visit them when we get a chance to go nearby!

I am happy today because one of my very good friends has promised to pay a short visit to my sweet home!

 

[renuka]

Dear RR ji,

How do you get the time to visit people and have time for others to visit you?

I just came back from the gym..just came online to check some emails and next I have to cook lunch..do the laundry..go out to buy groceries and then come home..continue doing some housework and the make dinner and before I know the sun will set and Monday blues will start kicking in and I have to go to work the next day.

How many hours a day do you have yaar?? 30 hours??

 

[Raji Ram]

Dear Renu,

I am not a professional like you! And Sunday is the day to relax, no music classes.

Our friend told that it might not be possible to join us for lunch and wanted to have a very brief visit. So, I prepared 'uppu appam' and coffee

decoction, so that I can serve the snack and coffee easily. But when I requested him to join for a simple lunch, he said OK! I thought 'WOW!'

The snack along with dhOsA and 'thayir chAdham' + home made mango pickle should be fine. Right? So, within a few minutes, I set two small

cookers for rice and dhal + carrot. With the 'sAmbar concentrate' ready, it was not a big deal to prepare sAmbar! And, before noon we three

had this simple lunch. I got three books as gift from our friend and I gave a token return gift!

Now you would have guessed the guest - the one who searches for Tamil books in Sing. Chennai. :fish2:

Dear RR ji,

Wow..good..I cooked lunch..made some rice,stir fried water convolvulus(its a type of green leafy vegetable that is almost impossible to find in India..when I landed in India as a student I frantically looked every where for it and only found this vegetable in a Chinese restaurant but the variety they had was not the type I was used to out here..but anyway its such a tasty leafy vegetable)..then I made also some soya nugget salad to go along the rice with some vegetarian Tom Yam(Thai Sour and Spicy soup)..today was an all Thai Chinese lunch.

Then for an exotic feel I made a warm drink of blended frozen berrries and frozen cranberries..added one whole lemon juice and blended in organic honey..then prepare 1 big mug of warm Hisbiscus tea sachet(they contain dried Hibiscus and orange peel..no actual tea in it)..add the fruits/berry blend in the Hibiscus tea and have a wonderful cup of Warm Exotic Berries/Cranberry,Lemon and Hibiscus...tastes great(my own recipe)


Since lunch was kind of elaborate..I only plan to have a glass of milk for dinner!LOL

Dear RR ji,

Your mystery guest..is he from India?
