Ill and well!

A person went to a doctor to tell
That he was not feeling really well; :sick:

After examining him thoroughly well :high5:
The doctor said," You don't know hygiene well!"

And asked him to take simply digene gel
And yet toward his fees charged his salary full,

Making the money in his pocket nil,
And turning his sober face very dull, :pout:

I don't know what he will do with all this money :popcorn:
Leaving in air Charity as sweet as honey!

Taking into consideration different factors like duties, responsibilities, house hold chores, child care etc,

An Indian wife living in India = An Indian husband living in the U.S.A.

Does it remind you of a famous Tamil song?

பரம சிவன் கழுத்தில் இருந்து பாம்பு கேட்டது,
"கருடா! சௌக்கியமா ?"

"யாரும் இருக்கும் இடத்தில இருந்துவிட்டால்
எல்லாம் சௌக்கியமே!"

கருடன் சொன்னது அதில் அர்த்தம் உள்ளது.

It is NOT just WHO you are

but also where you are

that determines

WHAT you are!
 
I would be married, but I 'd have no wife,
I would be married to a single life.:roll:

One went to brag, :blabla: the other to pray :pray:.

Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of

friendship; and pass the rosy wine.:grouphug:


It was the maxim with Foxey - our revered father,

gentleman, - "Always suspect everybody".:suspicious:


Marriage is the greatest earthly happiness :kiss:

when founded on complete sympathy.:hug:

Knowledge and existence.

We never covet to possess objects - whose existence we are totally ignorant about.

So knowledge about an object and its greatness makes us wish to possess it. :love:

We never wonder about things that don't exist- like
X Ray vision or Supersonic hearing ability for human.

We never had them, we may never need them, and so we may never miss them! :hand:

The very fact that we talk about/ doubt about an object is because we can FELL that it really exists and YET we do not want to believe that it really exists! :confused:

So the very question ABOUT its existence is
a PROOF that it really exists! :moony:

 
Experience is the child of Thought, and Thought is the child of action. :bump2:

த்ரீ ரோசெஸ் மனிதர்கள்!

'த்ரீ ரோசெஸ்' டீ விளம்பரத்தில்

நிறம், மணம், குணம் என்னும்

மூன்றும் காணப்படுவது உண்டு!

மனிதர்களின் பெயர்களிலும் கூட

மணம், நிறம், குணம் உள்ளபடியோ
அல்லது விபரீதமாகவோ இருக்கும்!:decision:

அம்மாவாசையில் இருள் பெண்ணுக்கு
பூர்ணிமா என்ற ஒளிவீசும் ஒரு பெயரும் :flame:

அன்பு என்பதின் பொருள் தெரியாதவருக்கு

பிரேமா, ஸ்னேஹா என்ற பெயர்களும் உண்டு! :rolleyes:


வெளிப்பக்கமே இப்படி இருந்தால்
மறைந்துள்ள பக்கம் எப்படியோ???:scared:
 
The hardest truth to be believed and accepted!

A hair-thin line separates...

Love and Hatred; :love:

Life and Death;

Hopes and Despairs;

Goodness and Badness;
Light and Darkness; :flame:

Faith and Doubts;

Happiness and Sorrow! :sad:

It may appear to be hair thin but

it is stronger than diamond steel! :shocked:
 
From time immemorial to this day

the most favorite pastime of people

in reality or imagination or fantasy

has remained the same. :nono:

Guess what it could be? :confused:

Look for the thread which in

less than 3 hours can draw

30 replies and 90 views? :shocked:

Thoughts precede words and words precede actions!

So the right place to nip the bad actions is
when they first appear as harmless thoughts! :fear:
 
So, is I dreame I have you, I have you,

The sweet smell of roses lingers on the fingers that gives out roses to others.

So the finger gets the benefit of the fragrance.

When the finger gets pricked by the thorns in the rose,
it is the eye that sheds tears.

Again the finger gets the benefit of sympathy and protection.

Then WHY DOES the same finger FIND joy in poking the eyes that readily sheds tears for its sake? :noidea:

It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.:nono:

How often have I told you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.:confused:

The pretty Medusa.

Medusa, Stheno and Euryale were the three Gorgon sisters. They were the children of the ancient marine deities Phorkys and his sister Keto, chthonic monsters from an archaic world.

Near them their sisters three, the Gorgons, winged
With snakes for hair— hated of mortal man—
​

While ancient Greek vase-painters and relief carvers imagined Medusa and her sisters as beings born of monstrous form, sculptors and vase-painters of the fifth century began to envisage her as being beautiful as well as terrifying.

In an ode written in 490 BC she is already already spoken of "fair-cheeked Medusa".

In a late version of the Medusa myth, related by the Roman poet Ovid, (Metamorphoses 4.770), Medusa was originally a ravishingly beautiful maiden, "the jealous aspiration of many suitors," priestess in Athena's temple.

When Poseidon the "Lord of the Sea" raped her in Athena's temple, the enraged Athena transformed Medusa's beautiful hair to serpents and made her face so terrible to behold that-the mere sight of it would turn onlookers to stone!

In Ovid's telling, Perseus describes Medusa's punishment as a victim by Minerva (Athena) as just and well-deserved.

Fine end for a finer story isn't it?

Get raped first and punished later for being a victim of rape!

In friendship false, implacable in hate,
Resolved to ruin or to rule the state.:suspicious:

So easy still it proves in factious times
With public zeal to conceal private crimes.:spy:

All empire is no more than power in trust,:high5:
Which when resumed, can be no longer just.:sad:

VR,
Whether it is Heaven or Hell, we will not have this body with which we did all good and bad things.We will have 'sookshma' body.I don't think we will remember our original good,bad things .We will simply go through the good things of Heaven or the bad things of Hell as the case be.When we get the next birth we wont remember where we were in Heaven or Hell.
This is the Mistry of LIFE and LIFE is like that.
Alwan
 
Dear Mr. Alwan,

God gives each of us a clean slate when we are born.

Whether we draw lovely pictures or scribble like crow's feet dipped in ink - is in our capacity and choice!

As for the heaven and hell, it is better that we don't remember them! The heavenly remembrances will make ordinary life look and feel like a hell in comparison and vice versa.

Don't you agree with me, my friend?
with warm regards,
Mrs. V.R.
 
Sorry for the delayed reply!

I was cut off from the outside world for more than 120 hours!

No telephone.:phone: So Internet either! :typing:

Mera Bharath hai (hee) Mahaan! :sad:
