I saw that message too. In the past I have not seen such a message from that author. It is fishy. Personally I like to give a benefit of doubt to that member. I will not pass judgement based on that one message.

Cheers!

Dear All

As Naina_Marbus rightly says - I offer an un-conditional apology. It was never my intention to post anything
controversial or abusive or insulting.

I am sincerely sorry if I hurt anyone.

I have no idea what the post was all about cos I was not in forum today morning..but I am sure whatever Anandji post tickles a funny bone.

No big deal yaar..
 
I noted this video this morning! WOW! What a nice upload for those who do not have a TampoorA but wish to sing or play along with

the melodious drone! There are uploads of different sruthis for about 15 minutes on youtube. Could be useful for meditation too!!

Here is a sample ....my comfotable sruthi :D

 Your Tanpura - F# Scale - 4.5 kattai - YouTube
 
This is really scary! :scared:

If you are driving at a high speed on a highway and if you FIX

your gaze on the road straight ahead, you will NOT SEE a car, a

scooter, a buggy, a bicycle, a buffalo or even a human being

approaching from the side. Now reverse the picture. If you are

crossing a road on foot and you see a speeding car approaching . . . ,

there’s a 90% chance that the driver isn’t seeing you, because his/her

peripheral vision may be blind! And you may be in that BLIND ZONE!!


Now click and learn from the following link.

(At times, all the three yellow dots vanish, if we stare at the green dot. :fear:)

Now I know how Ram was hit by a speeding van in broad day light, in Boston, last year.

He was going for a morning walk, wearing a bright orange colored T'shirt and black trouser.

He must have been in the blind zone of that driver.
 
English is hilarious if not downright crazy!

From a mail I received:

We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that, and there would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!

Let's face it - English is a crazy language.
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger;
Neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren't invented in England.

We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes,
We find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square,
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write, but fingers don't fing,
Grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?

Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend?
If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them,
What do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English
Should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.
In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?

We ship by truck but send cargo by ship...
We have noses that run and feet that smell.
We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway.
And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,
While a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language
In which your house can burn up as it burns down,
In which you fill in a form by filling it out,
And in which an alarm goes off by going on.
And in closing..........

If Father is Pop, how come Mother's not Mop.???

Some words are spelt regardless of how they are pronounced. Some examples:
[TABLE="class: MsoNormalTable, width: 59"]
[TR]
[TD="width: 57%, bgcolor: transparent"]laugh
[/TD]
[TD="width: 42%, bgcolor: transparent"]sigh
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]enough
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]nigh
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]rough
[/TD]
[TD="bgcolor: transparent"]thigh
[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]
​
Bernard Shaw proposed that the word ghoti should be pronounced "fish", with the
[gh] sound from "laugh" the [o] from "women"and the [ti] from "nation". Funny, right?​

Thank you Sir, for your kind query! Ram is fit and fine now!

This happened near my son's house and Ram managed to walk back home! (My doctor brother commented later that Ram knew

the technique of how to fall down - he was a national basket ball player - and hence escaped with minimum injury and fractures.

Yes... The rear view mirror broke after hitting his left scapula and the bone had a few fractures. We got him admitted in MGH,

Boston after preliminary check up at the local hospital. No major treatment was given except life support. The blood collected

near the lungs was cleared by inserting a chest tube. Those ten days were nightmarish!!

PS: I have written my experiences in the thread பயணக் க(வி)தைகள்...Post # 400 (page 40) to # 434 :typing:

I went through the posts in பயணக்க(வி)தைகள். Your description of the experience is so amazingly poetic. It was amusing to read about queries asking you who or what ‘ennavar’ means.
I am glad to note that ‘ungalavar’ is fit and fine now. But is there a postscript narrative describing the outcome from the police and insurance experience?
