renukaji, you say we are connected in someway to each other in our previous birth!! then how will you explain those cases of divorce where the marriage ends without lasting long!! also what about second marriage?

Dear PJ sir,

Not everyone who is our spouse was a spouse to us in a previous birth.

Remember the story of King Janaka where his wife was his mother in the previous birth.

I have read before that a dying mother last thoughts who thinks about her infant son wondering who will look after him can be born again as his spouse to care for him.
Her desire was to care for him...so she got a life as his spouse where her desire can be fulfilled.

Desire shapes our future birth.

Some people are Karmic partners that is they have unfinished business carried forward from a previous life.

For example.. person A harms person B in a previous birth and B vows revenge but unable to do so in that birth and B is born again and becomes the spouse of A and gives endless trouble to A and hurts A till it leads to divorce.

So the desire to take revenge is fulfilled.

Now then A and B move on in life and get married to different people and are happy cos that was meant to be their life partner.

I have even read that a person had a child who was sick that died at a very young age and that made the father very depressed and sad for almost all his life.

The reason was in his previous birth the child was his enemy who always wanted to give heartache to him..so in this life he took birth as his child(had a short life cos revenge seeking desires at times makes one have a very short life) and died and caused heartache and suffering to the father.

So that is why we are advised never to hate anyone or even think of revenge and not harm anyone cos we have no idea who is born as who.

We don't want to land up Sleeping With the Enemy.

Fits both vegetarianism and rebirth topics:

Manusmruti, Chapter 5 sloka 55

मां स भक्षयिता०मुत्र
यस्य मांसमिहाद्म्यहम् /
एतन्मांसस्य मांसत्वम्
प्रवदन्ति मनीषिण: //

the word mamsa (flesh) is derived by the wise (from 'mam' and 'sah')
as meaning ' he whose flesh I eat today will devour me in the
next world or birth.'

We don't want to land up Sleeping With the Enemy.

Dear Sir,

This means that N V eaters will NEVER cease to exist!!

Dear RR ji,

The Sanskrit word Sah(He) is in masculine gender and some vegetables in are written as masculine gender in Sanskrit.

So the word Sah(He) need not always be referring to a human or an animal.

The word Flesh can also mean Flesh of fruit or vegetable...so RR ji in case you love to eat tomatoes that means in next birth tomato will eat you!LOL

I remember there was a movie once called Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!LOL

It was my first week in Vizag and sis V R ma'am had arranged to send her helper maid to me too.

The maid was a thin old lady, often smoking her beedi, holding the glowing end inside her closed

mouth! One fine morning, she came rushing to my house shouting, 'ammalooo! geedhe ditchulO

padindhi!' I could make out that 'ditchulO padindhi' meant 'in the ditch'! And I was wondering

who is Geetha? May be one of my sister's friends? I rushed to the phone and asked my sister

whether her friend Geetha fell in a ditch! She asked me what was up. Then I repeated what my

maid told me. Sister laughed and said not to panic because 'geedhe' meant 'buffalo' in Telugu!

Dear RR ji,

Mine is not a honeymoon story.

But it's about not able to understand a language.

When I was a student in India during my final year exams I did not stay in the hostel.

Instead I stayed in a hotel room and my my mum came to stay with me till exam was over.

It is easier to study in a hotel room cos in hostel sometimes power cut was happening too often and some friends too expect you to be teaching them and not allowing you to study.

Ok so there was this one hotel employee who used to bring food to the room etc.

One day he saw me downstairs when I was waiting for an auto and he asked me in his broken English "You want Puppy?"

I thought he was talking about a Puppy dog and I said where is the Puppy?

Then he started laughing and by that time my mother had come and he quickly went away.

Only later on I found what what Puppy meant..he was not talking about a puppy dog but he was talking about Pappi(Kiss).

I was not aware that Pappi meant kiss in Colloquial usage Hindi becos I only knew the word Chumban in Hindi which meant kiss cos even in Malay the word for kiss is Cumbu.

 

[Raji Ram]

Thanks for the funny episode Renu! Reminds me of 'umme tharuvO?' innocently asked by Rajni, in a movie.

Now that the thread has taken a diviation, friends can start sharing the funny experiences they had by talking

or listening to unknown language! :blabla:

When I was in college, we went on a one day tour to Malambuzha dam. Since it was a co-ed class, our parents /

guardians had requested our prof. to bring us back before dark! One the way, all the boys could finish their no. 1

business very easily but we - five girls - needed a toilet. So one of our friends who is supposed to be well versed

with Malayalam went to an old woman living in a small house and asked, 'ammE! bathroom kazhikkaNam!'. That

lady was apparently shocked and I wondered what is wrong, because in Tamil, we call the toilets as 'kazhippidam'

and 'kazhi' means 'minus'! Then I showed one finger and smiled. She showed us her toilet. After coming home, I

told this incident to my mAmi, with whom I was staying. She burst into laughter till tears appeared in her eyes
and told me that in Malayalam 'kazhikkaNam' means 'to eat'!! :faint:


P.S: 'ozhikkaNam' was the right word!!

 

[Raji Ram]

.......... I remember there was a movie once called Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!....

Here it is Renu!

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

I wish more Male members to add their experiences here !!

Dear PJ sir,


yes you are right...esp TBS garu should share his experiences cos he wrote in another thread that even after he got married he got 10 marriage proposals!

So it would be nice to know how he managed that!LOL

As it is bachelors in this forum are crying that they can't get even 1 proposal but TBS garu had 10 proposals even after getting married!

 

[Raji Ram]

......... As it is bachelors in this forum are crying that they can't get even 1 proposal but TBS garu had 10 proposals even after getting married!

Oh dear Renu!

Please understand that it was a GOLDEN ERA for tambram bachelors!!

I was trying to cook all by myself (so far I had been an 'edupidi' for my mom), as soon as I landed in Vizag.

One fine morning, Ram told me that he is inviting his Telugu friend for lunch but he can talk English too. He

gave me a caution that this friend eats very well! Usually I make one cup rice only for both Ram and me.

Since food is needed for the 'good eater', I prepared four cups of rice, three kinds of vegetables, thayir

pachchadi, vadai, pAyasam, sAmbar, rasam and appaLam. I had some AvakkAi ooRugAi too, bought from

the shop.


This friend came on time for lunch and I told Ram that I will serve food and then eat later. The friend first had

a course of ghee + AvakkAi rice, then went on with rice + each curry and when he started sAmbar chAdham,

only very little rice was left in the vessel! OMG! Emergency! Good that I did not eat along with them. I started

the 'direct cooking' in the pressure cooker. No vessel inside - water + rice kept for cooking directly in the cooker.

By the time he finished his sAmbAr chAdham, new hot rice was ready! I gave a sigh of relief! But surprisingly, he

told me that there is no more space in his stomach and that he will have a cup of rasam and a cup of pAyasam.

No curds needed!


Then what? Waste not want not!! After finishing my lunch, I kept the left over rice in the fridge for me to eat

on the following days, because Ram needs fresh food every time! :hungry:

 

[Raji Ram]

One experience with tea-making!

Ram's friend came with his family - a dozen in number - from Calcutta. They had finished their dinner

and wanted to sleep. We provided the jamakkALam, pillows and sheets to them and they were happy

with that. The next morning, they requested me to make tea. OK! No big deal for me! I measured water

and milk to make tea for all of them with elAchi flavor. When I took the tray to serve, the all shouted in

chorus, 'Oh God! We DON'T drink tea with milk. We want black tea only!' I went inside to make black tea.

They left after breakfast.

Now....... Can anyone waste this elAchi tea which tastes so good? NO!! So, it was poured into nice glass

bottles, stored in the fridge, for me to enjoy 'ice tea' on the following days!

OMG! don't they have any compassion for the host??

Even though I do not drink tea or coffee..if I visit a person's house and the host serves tea or coffee I just gulp it down without telling them that I do not like coffee or tea.

I would not want to inconvenience the host.

[Raji Ram]

Dear Renu,

I have started asking a few Qs before preparing coffee / tea for guests!

Milk - yes or no? Sugar - yes or no? If yes, how much? elAchi / ginger / no flavor (for tea) ??? :blah:

 

[Raji Ram]

Enjoy this song, friends... especially, Renu!

I am happy to see this old movie in color!

Now comes the interesting part - eating:

S V Ranga Rao - Maya Bazaar

 

[Raji Ram]

Dear Renu,
One of Ram's friends visited us last evening. I asked him all my Qs before preparing his tea. :tea:

I had a good laugh in the kitchen, since I thought about the 'dozen tea episode' during my H M period! :lol:

 

[Raji Ram]

........... I would not want to inconvenience the host.

When I visit my relatives, I go one step further!

I enter their kitchen to help them unless they object, and play host! Once when I visited my chithappA's house with one of my

sisters, he was alone in his house. He wanted to give us coffee and so I went to the kitchen and prepared coffee for us.

The kitchen was not kept clean and my sister wondered how I could work in such a kitchen without any hesitation!

Dear RR ji,

You know I was thinking so far I have never had guests in my house..so I have never played host to anyone even for Diwali(cos its a very low key affair for me)

I was telling my husband yesterday that when our son grows up and gets married..there might be some drastic changes in our life.

He was "what changes?"

I told him "we might need to start playing host to brides relatives and also start celebrating Diwali a bit more grand and also cook for people"

My husband replied "why are you worried...just dial for Pizza hut and get Pizza for everyone"

 

[Raji Ram]

Dear Renu,

Request your son to search for his girl from a family which loves to eat pizza! :fish2:

 

[renuka]

Dear RR ji,

Since the topic is about Pizza I will tell you this funny incident.

Ok after my husband came to view me..that very day itself his parents called and told my parents that my husband liked me.

So the next day ..my husband came to my parents house to see my father and asked him permission to take me out for dinner.

So my dad said Ok.

Ok now..at the shopping mall..my husband asked me where I would like to eat and I said Pizza Hut.

So we went to Pizza Hut and had our 1st dinner date.

Ok he was sitting opposite me and he kept looking over my shoulder..I was wondering why he was not looking at my face directly!

So I turned around and looked to see who was seated behind me and there was no one behind me.

Then I asked him "there is no one sitting behind me but yet you keep looking over my shoulder..are you shy to look at my face?"

Then when I said that he started laughing and he said "yes..I was shy to look at your face cos you are the Ponnu and I am the Mappillai"

Then I told him..."it is the Ponnu who is supposed to be shy..and I am not shy at all to look at your face cos you have a nice face only and BTW we are also not young teens..we are both Erumai Madu age..so what is there to be shy?"


Then he started laughing again rather loudly and said Ok he was not shy anymore cos he just did not know how to break the ice and start a conversation.

So that was our 1st dinner date in Pizza hut and we spoke a lot..he was asking what movies I like and I said I like watching Senthil Goundamani jokes etc..and that made him very happy cos he said he was hoping the girl he marries like Tamil Movie cos most girls these days prefer western movies.

Ok my second date was at an Italian Restaurant where the Italian chef when he got to know I am vegetarian he came to the table to discuss with me how I would like my meal and he made a special vegetarian pasta meal for me.

After my second date..I got registered married and then had the temple wedding 6 months later.

dear renu,

what does the statement mean, 'I got registered married and then had the temple wedding 6 months later'

just curious, does this mean one indulged in a familiarity, that is normally reserved under the euphemism, 'arundhati paarkkal' ... at an earlier stage prior to temple wedding?

not intending to be nosy, but since you mentioned the above, would like to know, what differentiated one formality from the other.. from holding hands to .. ????

the cases i know, where our tambram canadians marry usa tambrams, have registered wedding, and along with it honeymoon, and paper processing for green card. ...

Dear Kunjs,

In Malaysia it is compulsory for us to register our marriages...some do it at the same time they get married at a temple.

That time I was working in a different state and I needed to get transferred back to Kuala Lumpur where my husband was..so I needed evidence to show the government that I am asking for transfer back to KL cos I was married.

The temple wedding was only planned in 6 months..cos that was the best date available.

So I got registered 1st at the registration department and became legally husband and wife and submitted the certificate for a transfer but even then I did not get KL...I got a town 2 hours away from KL..so I eventually resigned my Government job after the compulsory stint in the Government was over and joined Private Sector in KL.
