Madam,
Even though living away from township (Vanavasm) might have helped in your case to contemplate. There are people whose body is in the most active places but their mind is not affected by the noise. Unfortunately such people are a very few. That is the reason, I think, rishis used to go to jungle. Your creativity is good and let it grow day by day.raja48

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Dear Mr. Gopaindu,

If rishis preferred vanavaasam to keep away from the maddening crowds,

Where do I stand - a house-wife without even a maid-servant to help me with odd

jobs!

Thank you for your good wishes.

with warm regards,
Mrs. V.R.

பஜ கோவிந்தமும், பஜ்ஜியும்.

Ladies Club நிகழ்சிகளின் போது,
Stereo Sisters சேர்ந்து பாடுவோம்!

(எங்கள் சகோதரர் வைத்த பெயர்
எனக்கும் ராஜி ராம் மேடத்துக்கும்!)

இருவர் குரலும் நன்கு இணையும்;
இழைந்து, இனிமையாக ஒலிக்கும்!

ஒரே வீட்டில் வந்து பிறந்ததாலா?
ஒரே குருவிடம் பயின்றதாலா?

(இது நடந்தது ராஜிராம் professor
ராமநாதனிடம் கற்பதற்கு முன்பு! )

ஒரு நீண்ட பாடலைத் தேர்ந்தெடுத்து
சில முறை நன்கு practice செய்வோம்.

எத்தனை முறை பாடவேண்டும்;
எங்கெங்கு நிறுத்தவேண்டும் என.

இணைந்து பாடும்போது இவை
இனிமையைக் கூட்ட உதவும்.

ஆளுக்கு ஒருபக்கம் இழுத்தால்
தாளாது இசை காதால் கேட்பதற்கு.

ஒருமுறை பஜ கோவிந்தம் பாடிட,
ஒரு மெம்பருக்கு brainwave வந்தது!

"பஜ்ஜி, சொஜ்ஜியை எல்லோருக்கும்
பாடும் போதே கொடுத்துவிட்டால்;

பத்து நிமிடங்கள் நேரம் மிச்சமாகும்!"
பஜ்ஜி வரவும், பாட மறுத்துவிட்டோம்!

"பஜ கோவிந்ததை நாங்கள் ஒருபோதும்
பஜ்ஜி கோவிந்தம் ஆக்க மாட்டோம்!" என்று.

இறுதியில் வென்றது நாங்களே!
மரியாதை தெரிய வேண்டாமா?

ஆதி சங்கரரின் அந்த அற்புதமான
அறிவுப் பொக்கிஷதுக்குத் துணை

காபி, டீ, பஜ்ஜி, சொஜ்ஜியா? :hungry:
கச முசா என்னும் பேச்சா ? :blabla:

ஒருநாளும் சம்மதிக்கவே மாட்டோம்!
அருமை பெருமையை விடமாட்டோம்! :nono:

நம் கலையை நாமே மதிக்காவிட்டால்
நம் கலையை பிறர் மதிப்பார்களா? :moony:

பொற்கைப் பாண்டியன்???

ஒரு நாள் இரவு ஏழு மணி இருக்கும்;
ஒரு worker வந்து கதவைத்தட்டினான்;

"வயிறெல்லாம் எரிகிறது அம்மா!
வயிற்றுக்கு எதாவது கொடுங்கள்!"

ஆசாமி full load இல் இருந்ததால்
கதவைத் திறக்கவில்லை நான்!

இராப்பிச்சைக்காரன் போல சரியான ரவுஸ்!
"இப்போதே security யைக் கூப்பிடுகிறேன்! "

இல்லாத போனில் பேசுவது போல் நடிக்க,
செல்லத் தொடங்கினான் 'வேண்டாம்' என.

ஒரு நல்ல காரியம் செய்தான் போகும்போது!
ஒரு வீடு விடாமல் கதவுகளைத் தட்டினான்.

அடுத்த நாள் 'குசலம்' விசாரித்தவர்களிடம்,
மிடுக்குடன், "உங்கள் வீட்டிலும் கூடத் தானே!"

என்றவுடன் வம்பு வளர்வது நின்றது!
அன்று எல்லா வீட்டுக் கதவுகளையும்,

அந்தப் பொற்கைப் பாண்டியன் மட்டும்
தட்டாமலேயே போய் இருந்திருந்தால்!!!

Madam V.R.,(Ref: Post No.406)
This one is a poem, I accept because, I am unable to comprehend the meaning. In case of poetry, I need someone to explain its meaning like a student. The poem on the face of it appears to be good.raja48

 

[Raji Ram]

Madam,
I will follow in future about addressing the reply. Presently I am unable to understand. I will be thankful if it is explained preferably with an example. I have come acroos a handful at the most who posts new threads/replies. I do not like to call any lady by name unless it is absolutely essential. That is why I address them as Madam. Of course, male counterparts, I address as Sir or by name. I hope there is no harm in my principle. raja48

Yes Sir!

Good principle, of course. This post is for which madam? Please say VR mam / V R madam, if

you are addressing her. You replied to the reply meant for me. So, I asked my sister V R

Mam to address me while replying to me!! You can call me Smt. Raji Ram or Raji Mam! If you

address Madam, please give a line of that madam's post in quotation!! Hope I have confused

you enough.....

Raji Ram :typing:

 

[gopaindu]

Madam Raji,
Thanks for the advise(Refost No.409).raja48

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Dear Mr. Raja,
I can't write simpler Tamil. The post # 406 may look like a poem. But it IS simple prose arranged to look like a verse (vasana kavithai?)
with warm regards,
Mrs.V.R.

 

[Raji Ram]

Madam Raji,
Thanks for the advise(Refost No.409).raja48

One more advice, Sir! (easy to advise others :thumb

Google has a lot of smilies with the code starting with a ':'

We have to be careful to add a space after the ':' while writing a text message....

Otherwise, an unwanted smiley will add with the words..... unforced error!

And, it is always better to preview the post!!!

R R :ranger:

 

[gopaindu]

Madam R.R., (ref: post No.412-Life is like that)
Thanks for the suggestion. One problem with reading the preview before posting is that my thoughts will no doubt change. However, it is likely that I may feel the entire thing is rubbish and not worth posting and I will erase the entire post. So, I bear with criticism in case of mistakes. By habit, even in exams, or office notes, I had never read before submitting. Even my bosses had pointed out this omission. In some cases I had revised and found that the earlier version was better. In those days, there was no help to reproduce the earlier version. Once upon a time, when I was a student of 6th class, I replied to my elder brother's question that I would get 86% in Maths paper but on checking the answers, it was found that I would get only 14%. So, from then on I used to check my mahs paper if sometime was left. In other cases, I never bothered but used to get pass/average marks i.e.40-50%. Being an old man, I could not help recall the past incidents at this juncture though they are irrelevant here. Kindly bear with me. raja48

Dear Gopa Ji,

I never thought you will be a senior citizen becos all of your post has had an innocent appeal very sincere and childlike.If I had written anything to you so far assuming that you were younger to me..I humbly apologize.
May be you are still very young at heart.

dear friends,

I had a hunch that Mr. Raja was only slighter younger to me .

Reason....? He signs raja 48.

Whether he is born in 1948 or is 48 years old (young?) now

he is still younger to me!

with warm regards,

V.R.


Hello younger brother a.k.a raja 48!

Thanks for liking many of my posts!

Welcome to the happy family!

உத்வேகம் ஊட்டிய பத்மா மேடம்.

எங்கள் Professor பெயர் மிஸ் பத்மா .
நீங்கள் Nerd என்றால் புரிந்துகொள்வீர்கள்.

நிறைய மூளை, கூடவே நிறைய prejudice!
நிரம்பப் பிடிக்கும், அல்லது நிரம்ப வெறுப்பார்!

அவரையே சிறியதாக்கியது போல மாணவி.
அவளைக் கண்டால் தேனாக ஒழுகுவார்.

பிறரிடம் படு ஸ்ட்ரிக்ட். படிப்பைத் தவிர
பிற நிகழ்ச்சிகளில் பங்கேற்கக்கூடாது!

வராவிட்டால் கோபம் வரும் நம்மை
வரச் சொன்ன lecturer, professor களுக்கு.

போனால் கோபம் வந்துவிடும் இவருக்கு!
ஆனாலும் தர்ம சங்கடம் நமக்குத் தானே!

வருட முடிவில் வெளிப்படையாகவே
விருப்பு வெறுப்பைக் காட்டத் தொடங்கவே,

நான் முடிவு செய்தேன் அந்தப் பெண்ணை விட
நல்ல மார்க்குகள் எடுத்தாகவேண்டும் என்று.

விழுந்து விழுந்து படித்தது இறுதித் தேர்வில்
வீணாகி விடவில்லை "Distinction" கிடைத்தது!

அவருடைய அருமை மாணவி வாங்கியதோ
அறுபதிலிருந்து அறுபத்தி ஐந்துக்குள் (A grade).

அவர் அப்படிச் செய்யாதிருந்தால் எனக்கு
அத்தனை உத்வேகம் இருந்திருக்குமா?

தீமையே செய்ய முயல்பவரிடம் இருந்து கூட
நன்மையை வரவழைக்கலாம் நம் முயற்சியால்!:ballchain:

ஹனுமான் போல!

Mrs. Mehta சிங்கக் கிளப்பின் ப்ரெசிடென்ட்!
தலைக்கு மேல் goggles ஐ ஏற்றிவைத்துப்

படு ஸ்டைலாக இருப்பார்! பைசா பார்ட்டி!
posh car இல் தான் பயணம்! self driving !

எல்லாம் சரிதான் ஒரு நாள் நாங்கள்
ஒரு செம்மண்பாதையில் போகும்வரை!

U turn செய்ய கொஞ்சமும் இடமில்லை!
உள்ளே இருந்து reverse இல் வரவேண்டும்

வெலவெலத்துப் போய்விட்டார் அவர்!
வெலவெலப்புக்குக் காரணம் என்ன ...?

வாழ்கையில் ஒருமுறை கூட அவர்
Reverse gear இல் சென்றதே இல்லை!

நான் காரைத் தொட்டு குறைந்தது
வருடங்கள் 15 ஆகியிருக்கும்!

மற்றவர்களுக்கு காரைப் பற்றி
மருந்துக்குக் கூடத் தெரியாது!

காரை மெயின் ரோட்டில் கொண்டு
கரை சேர்க்கும் பொறுப்பு என்னிடம்!

மற்றவர் நம் மேல் வைத்துள்ள
மாறாத நம்பிக்கைகள் புரியும்

மாயங்கள் வாழ்வில் பற்பல!
மறக்கவில்லை driving கொஞ்சமும்!

அப்பாவை நினைத்துக்கொண்டே,
அழகாக reverse செய்து வந்தேன்!

மெயின் ரோடுக்கு வந்தவுடன்
காரை நிறுத்தி விட்டு இறங்கி

நான் அமர்ந்து வந்த இடத்துக்குப்
சென்று அமர்ந்து கொண்டு விட்டேன்!

அப்பா அடிக்கடி சொல்லுவது,

"You are not what you think you are!

You are not what I think you are!

You are what you think I think you are!"

எத்தனை உண்மையான வார்த்தைகள்!

Daily Dose For The Day ! !!

A man joined a big Multi National Company as a trainee.
On his first day, he dialed the kitchen and shouted into the phone: "Get me a cup of coffee, quickly!"
The voice from the other side responded: "You fool; you've dialled the wrong extension! Do you know who you're talking to?
"No" replied the trainee.
"It's the Managing Director of the company, you idiot!"

The trainee shouted back: "And do you know who YOU are talking to,you IDIOT?"
"No!" replied the Managing Director angrily.
"Thank God!" replied the trainee and kept the phone down.....

 

[renuka]

Important lesson to learn:

Equation 1:

Human = eat + sleep + work + enjoy

Donkey = eat + Sleep

Therefore

Human = Donkey + work + enjoy

Therefore

Human – enjoy = Donkey + work

In Other words,

Human that doesn't enjoy = Donkey that works.

Equation 2:

Men = eat + sleep+ earn money

Donkey = eat + sleep

Therefore:

Men = Donkey + earn money

Therefore:

Men – earn money = Donkey

In other words,

Man who doesn't earn money = Donkey

Equation 3:

Women = eat + sleep + spend

Donkey = eat + sleep

Therefore:

Women = Donkey + spend

Women- spend = Donkey

In other words,

Woman who doesn't spend = Donkey

To Conclude:

From equation 2 and 3

Men who don't earn money = Women who don't spend

So

Men earn money not to let women became donkeys

And women spend not to let men become donkeys

So we have:

Men+ women = Donkey + earn money + Donkey + spend money

Therefore from postulates 1 & 2, we can conclude

Men + women = 2 Donkeys that live happily together!!!! !!!!!!!!!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Dear Renu!

You need not have gone through all those steps to prove the final result.

We all know it already-so to say inherently!
But one small correction.

A donkey is SUPPOSED to work very hard! :lol:
Will it change your equations in any way?

If so, I will like to see the revised equations also!

with best wishes and regards,

V.R.

[gopaindu]

Madam Renu,(Ref; Post NO. 420 -equation of donkeys with human beings). Donkeys do not think whereas men and women think/plan to earn/spend money. A question may arise wheher planning is required to spend the money. Yes. Even before the money comes, women start thinking how to spend it. Exceptionally, some men are also like that. So, Your equation i.e. 2 donkeys are equal to men and women stands proved to be wrong. raja48
