I Hope you are NOT in a hurry!
Both my dad and mom grew gray quite early.
I guess it is hereditary.
My elder son's hair looks like salt and pepper
(More pepper and less salt of course)
when he has a hair wash with a shampoo!
That is the main reason I stopped dying my hair
and my husband followed my example.
We should not try to look younger than our children!

Ilai I am not in a hurry to give up yet.. I feel I should not have started dying my hair but now I do but like I said a nice golden brown, since that was my color during my younger days.. or what you might call a chembattai thalai with red and copper highlights and very light brown eyes.. so I decided to do the same now.. but I will give up may be in a few years, my husband now does not want me to yet so for his sake I am not going grey

Please tell your son, to use natural based shampoo if he has to.. and also to have a regular oil massage like olden days and if he has to use shampoo, ask him to wash his hair first with kadalai or payatham mavu and use a little shampoo.. at least I try these methods to keep my hair from thinning, it was so bad, but after following all that, it is much better..

Dear Srimathi VS Ji,

After I lost my wife, I chanced to meet this lady who was a widow. I was in my fifties then with S&P hair (more salt). We 'dated' and she asked me to blacken my hair. I did it once. After musing about it, I dropped them both

Regards,
KRS

KRS sir, I am very happy for you, for your true love and finding the guru.. I personally think a man looks quite distinguished with salt and pepper or grey hair.. by the way I too am in the same boat as you..

I never used black but always went for the darkest brown shade available.

Other colors won't suit the Indian (coffee brown) complexion!

When I need a walking stick, it hardly matters what color my hair is ! :becky:

Visa darling, there is nothing wrong in dying your hair and looking younger and trust me we will never look younger than our children, but the color you chose is what matters. instead of stark black, make it a dark brown, that suits a matured face so well and blends in naturally..

 

[Subhalakshmi]

I look like so caked up and made up if I have dark hair, makes me look so harsh.. but I saw your photo, that color looks nice on you

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

The OLD young me or the new OLD me???

I look like so caked up and made up if I have dark hair, makes me look so harsh.. but I saw your photo, that color looks nice on you

 

[Subhalakshmi]

hahahahahaa!!! Well the only one I saw, do you have another, I think you are quite young at heart..

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

So you were MADE for living in USA with a golden brown hair and light brown eyes!

My son hardly finds time to get enough sleep and surely he has no time for even thinking about hair care and his appearance!

He has such a nice and warm personality that no one will notice anything else.

The pet name I have given him is chit-chor
the stealer of people's minds ...the same as Lord Krishna!

# 342. கப்பல் பாட்டி.

சிறு குழந்தைகளாக இருந்தபோது

கப்பல் பார்க்கச் சென்றோம்.

கரை ஓரம் வரையில் கப்பல் வரை இயலாது அல்லவா?

சிறிய படகில் பயணித்துக் கப்பலை அடைய வேண்டும்.

படகு என்றாலே ஆட்டம் தானே! :fish2:

ஆட்டம் என்றாலே தலை சுற்றுமே!

ஒரு வயதான பாட்டியும் எங்களுடன் வந்தார்.

ஒன்பது கஜம் புடவை...பச்சை நிறம்...

இன்னும் நினைவுள்ளது.

பாட்டிக்குத் தலை சுற்றி, வயிற்றைக் கலக்கி

பலான வேலை செய்துவிட்டார் படகிலேயே!

மனிதன் உண்ணும் போது மணக்க மணக்க

உள்ளே செல்லும் பொருட்கள்

வெளியே வரும்போது எப்படி மாறிவிடுகின்றன. :yuck:

அது மேல் வழியானாலும் சரி, மறு முனையானாலும் சரி.

படகே நாறிவிட்டது. ஒன்பது கஜம் புடவை எவ்வளவு

inconvenient என்று அன்று தெரிந்து கொண்டேன்!

வீட்டுக்குப் போய் எல்லோருமே குளிக்க வேண்டி இருந்தது!

அந்த நிகழ்ச்சியின் நினைவு

பலநாள் உணவைப் பாழ் செய்தது.

வயிறு முட்டச் சாப்பிட்டுவிட்டு வந்து பஸ்ஸில் ஏறுபவர்கள்,

வழி நெடுக வாந்தி எடுத்துக் கொண்டே வருபவர்கள்,

வெற்றிலை போட்டுக் கொண்டு

ரத்தச் சிவப்பில் துப்புபவர்கள்

கழிப்பிடத்துக்கும் வெளியே சிறுநீரை

பெருநீராகப் பாய்ச்சுபவர்கள்

இவர்களை எல்லாம் என்ன செய்யலாம்

சொல்லுங்கள் நீங்களே! :whip:

A GOOD SON.


A good husband cum a good son,
Is yet in this wide world to be born!

Good son adores only his parent,
And leaves his good wife transparent.

It is “Either you live in our style!
Or go become your mother’s tail!”

His mother takes on the upper hand;
And hands out the D.I.L. fiery bands.

The good husband on the other hand
Is full of adoration to his all-new-find!

It is an ultimatum to the old parents,
“Can stay with us as silent parents! :tape:

I owe my loyalty to this poor girl,
Who for me has sacrificed her all!”

Things will be kept in great secrecy,
Where is the need to tell the mercenary?

The D. I. L will throw words or vessels.
The choice-less-life is so full of tussles. :caked:

A Good husband and a real good son,
Are mutually exclusive in one person!

I know a person who appears very calm,
Living such a life, as the back of my palm!

If A good son is also a good husband,
He’ll be a circus ring master’s real find! :whip:

Once a loyal son, is always a loyal son!
Once a loyal husband, he is always one!

If everyone is wealthy, optimistic and famous in the world, it will become
a carton of Grand Sweets Laddu only. People will then may not know
otherwise the sour and bitter and may mispronounce it. The life object of
pleasant and unpleasant will not be known to anyone.

YOu are so funny.. I love the name chit-chor for your son, I am sure he has taken after his mom.. Like I mentioned in another post, men do look distinguished in salt and pepper or grey hair..

Apologies for butting into an interesting dialogue. Dummy that I am , it took me a while
to realise that chit-chor was really chith-chor!
I was reading chit like in chittukkuruvi or chit-fund, the way Americans would read Saraswati
as Saras-waa-tee. Thanks for providing its meaning in the subsequent line. Delightful nick-name.

"Mummy" :welcome: the "dummy" to butt in!

We say Athman but write it as Atman.

If that is O.K then Chith can be written as Chit.

I can see that you are a lover of the chit funds for which Coimbatore is very famous.

I had given the meaning as the stealer of people's minds right below the word to avoid ambiguity.

Happy that it made you come out of your hiding place eep:

Yes it is a delightful nick name but i don't call him by that since he may object being called as a whatever-chor!

Yes, we write Atman because
1) someone set up a precedent for the spelling.
2) Anyway we know what we are talking about.

But, with increasing number of Westerners talking about Atman and Brahman,
and when I hear them saying அட்மன் or அட்மான் or ஆட்மன் or ஆட்மான்,
I feel like crying hey man, what man, no man, it is not ஆட்டுமான் !!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

That is precisely why we should write the words using double

vowels whenever and wherever necessary.

It should be written as aathman to remove all abouts about its

pronunciation. :decision:

Nice sequence it forms Atman, Batman, Catman, Eatman,

Fatman, Hatman...:bump2:
I need your interaction :tea:

to think up such things!

Yes, we write Atman because

The same North Indians also write Dikshit for தீக்ஷிதர் ! Now you know what the American school boys will do if your kid had a last name like that (Dikshit) !!

Guess which group pronounces words like zoology and Geology as ஜூலோஜி and ஜீலோஜி ?

Rhyme it with bullshit???
That is precisely we should take up the father's name
and not the caste/ subcaste as the surname.

# 343. சித்திப் பாட்டி.

இரண்டாவது மகன் பிரசவம். reggers:

பெரியவன் மூன்று வயதுக் குழந்தை. :baby:

அம்மாவுக்கு உதவி செய்ய கிராமத்தில் இருந்து

வந்து சேர்ந்தார் ஒரு சித்திப் பாட்டி.

என்ன உதவி செய்தார் என்று தெரியவில்லை!

மருந்து மாத்திரைகள் சாப்பிட்டு அவர் உடல் தேறியது.

பிரட் உப்புமா செய்கின்றேன் என்று கிளம்பினார்.

நன் சொன்னேன், "வெறும் பிரட் பாலுடன் தந்தால் போதும்!"

சொன்னால் கேட்கும் பழக்கம் பாட்டிகளிடமா? :nono:

அந்த பெரிய லோஃப் பிரட்டை கண்டபடிக் குதறி விட்டு,

கரண்டி நிறைய நெய்யில் தாளித்து அதைப் போட்டுக்

கலந்து கொண்டுவந்தார். பயந்தே போய்விட்டேன். :scared:

உணவு என்றால் அதற்கு ஒரு வடிவம், நிறம், மணம், ருசி

எல்லாம் இருக்க வேண்டும் என்று நம்புபவள் நான்.

இந்த மாஸ்ஸைப் பார்த்து பயந்ததில் என்ன அதிசயம்?

ஒரு வேளைக்கு ஒரு கரண்டி நெய் ஜீரணம் ஆகுமா?

ஆனாலும் என் எடை என்ன ஆகும் சொல்லுங்கள்.

அதன்பின் அம்மாவிடம் சொல்லிவிட்டேன்,

"என் உணவை நீங்களே தயார் செய்யுங்கள் please !" என்று.

1) Madam Subhalaksmi knows that it is worse than that.
2) North Indians still use caste surnames - Yadav for instance.
3) They are not paragons in setting standards, whether it is spelling or naming.
