Dear Kunjuppu Sir,

I beg to differ when you say 'pAppAn buddhi'! This exploiting buddhi is prevalent without any caste limitation!

I have observed a few of my friends who are not brahms, treat me like an 'iLichchavAy friend' - in P J sir's language! :)

There are two basic types of people I have seen. Those who work hard for the sake of others and those who exploit

the helping friend / relative! I belong to the group that is being exploited. But I don't feel bad about it. It might add

some 'puNyam' in my account, though some of the people I help do not deserve it!! :cool:
 

​Now........ back to ideas!

Tiny ants were bothering me on my kitchen platform and some lizards also appeared at times. :fear:

Cleaning the platform with a wet cloth and a spoonful of Lizol at night made all the pests vanish! :bolt:

 
[h=5]When nothing works[/h] [h=5][/h] [h=5]When you feel overwhelmed and nothing you do with the kids seems to work, go outside and get some fresh air. Pack up the kids and head to a park, take a walk, or just sit on your back porch and breathe. There is nothing as renewing as a deep breath and a change in scenery. It's going to be okay.[/h] [h=5]You can do this. Just breathe.[/h]

raji,

i have seen quite a few instances both in toronto and in india, where when B and NB interactions involved.

one such example: we have B friends, the male and the children love meat. but the wife wont cook it at home. they always ask the NB friends to cook meat for them, without shame. meat, compared to veggies is expensive, here. good quality meat. but never the B man will offer to pay for the meat or buy some bring. i figured this cost atleast $200 to the NB friend, who used to snicker behind this guy's back. made me very embarassed, at this attitude.

same thing: this is to do with drinking. these guys dont server liquor at home (parents or wife objects). but rush towards the liquor cabinet whenever they visit other people's houses. whereas i have also a nadar friend - who does not drink and wont serve liquor.

this is all i meant. ok?

Very rarely a women becomes" ILLICHA VAI" whereas it is very common for men to become ILLACHA VAI..

it depends PJ.

there are relations, to whom we owe a நன்றிக்கடன். stuff which their parents have done for my parents, and which the children or children's children shamelessly invoke or make use to ask for favours. ... it happens...

Raji Madam

I agree with you; my observation is that in general men become ILLACHAVAI very easily whereas women are a bit careful in that.

Very true Kunjuppu Sir!

One of my mAmAs and mAmi used to go out of the way to help the family and friends. Now their son expects everyone

whose parents were supported by that mAmA and mAmi either emotionally / financially, to help him and does not care

to thank those who helped him! People are just taken for granted by him! :sad:
 
I wrote about use of Lyzol in the previous page. I have been using Lyzol lemon fragrance for the past one month

for cleaning the floor and noticed that the tiny spiders which make their sweet homes over the skirting also have

vanished now! It is said that spiders hate lemon fragrance! :cool:

Note the second bottle of Lyzol - lemon fragrance:

Detergents are not only expensive but constant washing damages the clothes soon.

I use ordinary shampoo to wash delicate clothes and clothes which are NOT very dirty.

Nice fragrance lingers in the dress and it works out very cheap.
Re. 1 shampoo sachet will be enough to wash 10 to 12 pieces of assorted size. :washing:
 

Aluminium ice trays could be used while make sweets, to avoid wasting 'edge pieces' while using a round plate.

I made beetroot toffee yesterday, for today's get together of a few Sing Chennai members :) Here it the pic:

This recipe is especially for Amala!

Beetroot toffee:

Peel off the skin of beetroots (two medium sized) make into small pieces and cook with half a glass of water till soft.

One whistle in pressure cooker is enough. Allow the pieces to cool. Measure them, add two times sugar and beat well

in the mixie. Put the mixture in heavy bottom vessel - I use a pressure pan - and keep stirring till it leaves the sides of

the vessel. You will find lots of bubbles too! :) Add a table spoon of ghee + some cardamom powder and mix well before

transferring to the plate, smeared with ghee. Cut the pieces when the mixture is still warm. This will give 42 pieces, if

poured into the aluminium ice trays, as shown in an earlier post.

( Balu Sir - V. Balasubramani - had counted the pieces before joining for the get together on 15th! :cool: )

Dear Amala,

I don't like the soggy halwAs. These toffees are real hard but easy to bite and yummy! (not for P J Sir though!)

To add fragrance to bathrooms: 'Comfort' fabric conditioner has a nice fragrance. We can mix three table spoons of that

with one glass of water and sprinkle about one table spoon of the solution in the bathroom. Hmmmmm.... nice aroma! :thumb:

Bleaching powder is used to clean the bathroom floors in many houses. But it gives a very very strong odor!

To remove 'vazha vazha' feel on the bathroom tiles, the liquid bleach used for fabrics is a better option. :thumb:

Sprinkle the liquid bleach all over the wet floor, rub gently with a brush, leave for 5 minutes and clean with water.

No fuss... No mess!! :cool:
