[FONT=comic sans ms,sans-serif]Of all the horrid, hideous noted of woe,
Sadder than owl-songs,or the midnight blast,
Is that portentous phrase,"I told you so." :mmph:

"Tis strange-but true; for truth is always strange;
Stranger than fiction. :shocked:

"Tis pleasant, sure, to see one's name in print;
A Book is Book, altho' there is nothing in't. :rolleyes:

[FONT=comic sans ms,sans-serif]We are fools of time and terror; Days
Steal on us, and steal from us: yet we live,
Loathing our life, and dreading still to die.:fear:

Knowledge is not happiness, and science
But an exchange of ignorance for that
Which is another kind of ignorance. :nerd:

Quotes by Lord Byron.[/FONT]
 
Saint Peter sat by the celestial gate; :angel:
His keys were rusty, and the lock was dull,
 So little trouble had been given of late.:bump2:

That household virtue, most uncommon,
Of Constancy to a bad ugly woman.:bolt:

For by many stories,
And true, we learn the angels all are Tories.:rolleyes:

Quotes by Lord Byron.
 
[FONT=comic sans ms,sans-serif]Fame like water, bears up the lighter things and lets he weighty sink. :fish2:
Calderon de la Barca.

There is a garden in her face,
Where rose and white lilies grow. :love:
Thomas Campion.

There cherries grow , which none may buy,
Till "cherry ripe" themselves do cry. :Cry:

[FONT=comic sans ms,sans-serif]Quotes by Thomas Carlyle.[/FONT]

Blessed is he who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness.

Man is a tool using animal.

It is a mathematical fact that casting of this pebble from my hand alters the center of gravity of the universe.
 
[FONT=comic sans ms,sans-serif]"What is the use of a book," thought Alice,
"without pictures or conversations?" :confused:

"curiouser and curiouser!" cried Alice. :crazy:

How cheerfully he seems to grin,[/FONT][FONT=comic sans ms,sans-serif]:becky:[/FONT]
[FONT=comic sans ms,sans-serif] How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in
With gently smiling jaws!" :croc:

[FONT=comic sans ms,sans-serif]"A cat may look a the king," said Alice. :rolleyes:

And the moral of that is-"Oh,'tis love 'tis love that makes the world go round!" :love:

Take care of the sense and sounds will take care of themselves.:confused:

[FONT=comic sans ms,sans-serif]The rule is, jam tomorrow and jam yesterday-
but never jam today. :nono:

[FONT=comic sans ms,sans-serif]In all my life, I have never repented but of three things:

that I trusted a woman with a secret, :gossip:

that I went by sea when I might have gone by land :fish2:

and that I passed a day in idleness.:couch2:

Have any of you ever thought about the V.V.I.P.s

who just disappear from the scene whenever there is a commotion,

go underground and hide in order to save their hides,

wait and watch till it is safe to come out again!
 
It is an undoubted truth, that the less one has to do, the less time one finds to do it in.:clock:
One yawns, one procrastinates, one can do it when one will, and therefore one seldom does it at all.:bored:

The fame of the conqueror; a cruel fame, :ballchain:
that arises from destruction of the human species. :fencing:

Quotes by Earl of Chesterfield.
 
Women, then, are only children of a larger growth; :baby:

they have an entertaining tattle, and sometimes wit;

but for solid reasoning good sense, I never knew in my

life one that had it, or who reasoned or acted :crazy:

consequentially for four and twenty hours together :peace:

Quote by Earl of Chesterfield.
 
For the great Gaels of Ireland
Are the men that God made mad,
For all their wars are merry, :sing:
And all their songs are sad. :sad:

The folks that live in Liverpool; their heart is in their boots;
They go to hell like lambs,they do,because the hooter hoots.

G.K.Chesterton.
 
We only know the last sad squires ride slowly towards the sea,
And a new people takes the land: and still it is not we.:(

Democracy means government by the uneducated, while :loco:

aristocracy means government by the badly educated. :crazy:

G.K.Chesterton.
 
It can't be Nature, for it is not sense. :loco:

Just to the windward of the law.:bolt:

Wise fear, you know,
Forbids the robbing of a foe: :nono:
But what, to serve our private ends,
Forbids the cheating of our friends? :croc:

I have heard that
"The shortest route to a man's heart is through his stomach!"

But I had no idea that FOOD was the only thing some of them ever seem to think about!

We got caught amidst a group of eight people who had gathered in our cubicle! (How do they ever find out that I am allergic to any loud noise and descend on me in herds like these?)

The only thing they discussed was food, food and more food!
I was forced to listen to their conversation (over the handy ear plugs I always carry with me) and learn how many types of AAPAMS, Dosais, Idlies were availabe and in which hotels.

They ordered supper enough for a hungry army and flung themselves quite shamelessly on the boneless chicken which was the side (main?)dish for the dosai, chappatthi etc.

Most of them already looked like barrels/ fridge/almarahs fixed with a head on the top.

The samething followed next morning during the breakfast. I almost started hating the very sight of food.

Why do people who flash bundles of 500 and 1000 rupees notes want to spend them ONLY on their ownselves and that too in processing the already processed food and converting them into hedious final product!

Why are some men so OBSESSED with food? :mmph:

Dear Mrs.VR
All the metropolitan cities have eateries and Bangalore is one among them.But in Bangalore, you can find eateries in various names in almost every street whether it is a commercial area, residential area or remote suburban area.They all are known as Dharshinis, Centers.Refreshments,Bhavans,Rooms,Joints,Sagars and what not.Some of the establishments specialize in one type of eatable ( like specialist doctors) and they are known by the item they are specializing, like Dosa Palace,Bajji Center,Chaat Palace etc.Apart from all these, there are numerous nameless eating places run by road side vendors all over the city who open up their fare in the evenings for the benefit of office goers.One has to see to believe the type of crowd all these eateries are attracting day in and day out.People don't mind standing in the street to relish and enjoy the food.It is like swarm of flies over a prey, you will find a whole of lot of crowd in front of all these eateries.There is nothing like opening a eatery in Bangalore, if one aspires to become millionaire in a short span of time.

Dear Mr. S.S,
The people swarm over the food in the shop.
The flies also do the same on the road side shops!
The only difference is that flies DO NOT have to pay
for their share of those delicacies they taste-
before the human beings who pay for their food do!
with best wishes,
V.R.

What an eavesdropping, or snooping ( any way not bugging -the chewing gum type)

The worst tragedy for a poet is to be admired
through being misunderstood.:confused:

One does not blame an epoch; one congratulates oneself
on not having belonged to it. ;)
