Deep awe and crow's caw!

What we people feel in reality,
When we listen to this absurdity;

The make-believe-stories spoken,
By our very transparent(?)politician!:doh:

No need to approach with deep Awe,
Their non-stop-nonsense of "Blah Blah"! :blabla:

Wish we could tear them up with claw,
Or at least laugh them away "Ha Ha!" :becky:

Let not their words drop your firm jaw;
They're no better than the crow's caw!

No one should live above the law,
Nor be used as an extended paw! :nono:

Feelings churned up may be raw;
As no one the real reasons saw!

We need blame ourselves for this flaw,
For having elected these men of straw!

P.S.

Endless is becoming the list!
Who would have ever thought

The almost saint-like Ms. Dixit
Will also figure in this long list!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Neither a lender nor a borrower be!

With all certainty I can bet;
It is terrible to be in debt!

Worse still when unable to get;
A fresh life-giving currency jet!

The shrewd creditors will never let;
A moment of peace whenever met!

You are caught up in a sticky net!:spider:
Gone are the days you were the pet;:hug:

And had everything you love be set
As for the rich pet by its pet-vet!

Now with tears shed you become wet :Cry:
There's nothing to do but fume and fret. :whoo:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Feats vs Defeats!

Wonder at least a little bit,

What things will, in a lady fit!

And will become a sure hit,

Worthy of saving in her kit!

A face by the make-up well lit?

A wit that needs no prefix nit?

A mind that is a bottomless pit? :fear:

The lovely silence in which to sit?

Go fighting always tat for tit? :argue:

Glow well by her natural wit?

Think ye well on these feats!

Absorb those with no defeats!:moony:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

The rise and fall of................

(The blank space can be filled up with
the name of any national leader!)

Was it something that he ate, :hungry:
That made his senses go abate?

No one felt it till this date,
The fall that was in his fate! :clock:

In lieu of opening heart's gate,
It had made it swell with hate! :yell:

Advises come always late! :crutch:
Even from a very close mate!

Who can save him at this rate?
It's a task too difficult to sate!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

The art of living!

Living Life is sure a real art,

Lest it slows down to a cart!

Learn to beware of the dart,

Aimed at puncturing your heart!

Of our lives this forms a part, hwell:

As all can't be of the same sort! :nono:

Life can be as sweet as a tart, :hungry:

Or made as unsightly as a wart! :scared:

Noah's ark.

Life in the Noah's ark, :flock:

Couldn't let dogs bark! :wof:

Feelings were kept under cork,

Or it would become real dark!

To the first disparity hark...!:ear:

As clear as the song of a lark.

It is the unannounced mark,

They can all part and park! :bump2:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Let the soul be assured that somewhere in the universe it should rejoin its friend, :hug:
and it would be content and cheerful alone for a thousand years.

It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person,"Always do what you are afraid to do." :ballchain:

Living blood and a passion of kindness
does at last distinguish
God's gentlemen:angel:
from Fashion's.:hat:

Time and Tide.

Fortunes favor and aid,:first:
People who wait and bide;

And never from fear hide, :fear:
Even if they are always laid;

Hardships are sure fun to ride,:ballchain:
Even with failure on our side;

Do learn to rise with the tide, :fish2:
Not to suffer in this world wide!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

A to Z of happiness!

Do keep your temper at BAY; :tape:
Not just today, but every DAY!

It is a gift of a lovely FAY;:angel:
Be happy, but be not GAY!

Burn your worries as if HAY, :flame:
Feel jolly at the sight of a JAY!

Don't wish for the winter in MAY;
Be prepared to accept "NAY, NAY"! :nono:

Do your work and earn your PAY;
Never lose sight of the hope's RAY!

And whatever you wish to SAY,
Always say it in the proper WAY!

Have you ever pondered how the topic of

a person's "rights!" always shoots up :high5:

when the person's doings go wrong? :nono:

If the doing is "right", there will be no need :roll:

to claim for one's "rights"! It will then fall under
the category of one's 'duty'! :rain:

உரிமையும், கடமையும்.


உரிமைப் போராட்டம் என்ற ஒன்று,
உலகமெங்கும் நிரவியுள்ளது இன்று.
பெண் உரிமைப் போராட்டம் என்றும்,
பெண் விடுதலைப் போராட்டம் என்றும்,

முதியோர் உரிமைப் போராட்டம் என்றும்,
மாணவர் உரிமைப் போராட்டம் என்றும்,
எண்ண முடியாதபடி போராட்டங்கள்
எங்கிருந்து வருகின்றன? எதற்காக?

தாய் தந்தையரைக் காக்க வேண்டும்
தனயர்கள், என்று சட்டம் இயற்றும்
அவல நிலைக்கு, அரசே தள்ளப்படும்
அவசியம் ஏன், எப்படி ஏற்பட்டது?

உரிமைகளைப் பற்றிப் பேசும்போதே,
உடன் நிழலாகத் தொடருகின்ற நமது
கடமைகளையும் தவறாமல் நமது
கருத்தில் கொள்ள வேண்டுமன்றோ?

ஒவ்வொருவரும் தத்தம் கடமைகளை,
ஒன்று விடாமல் செய்தோம் என்றால்,
எங்கிருந்து தொடங்கும் உரிமைப்போர்?
எதற்காகத் தொடங்கும் உரிமைப்போர்?

பெற்றோரைத் தாம் பேணுவது கடமையாகப்
பிள்ளைகள் எண்ணினால், சட்டம் எதற்கு?
பெற்றோர் புகார் அளிக்கவும் வேண்டாம்;
பிள்ளை காவலரிடம் சிக்கவும் வேண்டாம்.

மாண்பு மிகு மந்திரிகள் தம் கடமையை,
மாண்புடன் செய்து கொண்டு வந்தால்,
மாறி மாறி மகளிரும், மாணவர்களும்,
மறியல் போராட்டம் நடத்த வேண்டாமே!

உரிமை, உரிமை எனக் கூட்டம் கூடி,
உரத்த குரலில் நாம் போராடும் முன்பு,
கண நேரம் எண்ணிப் பார்ப்போம், நமது
கடமைகளை சரிவரப் புரிகின்றோமா?

கடமைகளும், உரிமைகளும் ஒன்றாகக்
கலந்து பின்னிப் பிணைந்துள்ளன அன்றோ!
ஒருவரின் உரிமை மற்றவரின் கடமையில்,
ஒளிந்துள்ளதை அறிந்தால் வழக்கு ஏன்?

வாழ்க வளமுடன்,
விசாலாக்ஷி ரமணி

RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

Agitations are becoming the order of the day!

Women’s agitation for liberation, equality and equal rights, the seniors citizen’s agitation to be taken care of by their family, the students’ agitation with umpteen demands are seen very frequently now.

Today the government has to pass laws that the children should take care of their parents. Why?

We must remember at this juncture that rights and responsibilities are entwined inseparably. So also the duties and demands.

If each and everyone of us perform our duties properly, there won’t be any need for the other to raise their demands.

If the sons realize that it is their duty to take care of their aging parents, the parents will have no need to demand to be taken care of.

The parents wont need to seek the long arms of the law to uphold their rights.

If the government performs its duties properly all the agitation can be done away with. Whenever we demand for our rights, we must stop to think for a moment whether we are performing our duties and responsibilities.

If we understand that one person’s demands lie concealed in another person’s duties ... we won’t shun our responsibilities.

Creed and Deed.

Watch his sweat shine as beads,
Resulting from his tireless deeds!

With so many mouths to feed, :hungry:
There's no time to talk or heed!

A simple life he has to lead,
And provide for every need! :flock:

His life is as hollow as a reed,
Does past action form the seed?

Absorb the words of your true creed, :angel:
Then you'll never end up as a weed!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Where angels fear to tread...!


People who indulge and bash,
Try to pay off with heavy cash! :ballchain:

Those who in haste always dash,

Enter hospitals with a deep gash! :car:

Some men who enjoy and hash,

Are sure to reel in the back-lash! :whip:

Wild acts ending in a thorough mash,

And similar ones performed in a rash;

Will not fetch you a colorful sash,

But surely throw you in the trash!

P.S.

It is amazing to note how similar sounding words

have very, very similar meanings too!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Dear. Mr. N. R. R,

I am sure that Tilak ji meant

"The people's rule" by the term "Swaraj"

But now it is misinterpreted as

The rule of a family,

The rule for a family and

The rule by a family.

The only difference is that 'the' family is different

in different states and in the Center!

As for Kadamai, Ganniyam and kattuppaadu...

the general public had started searching for them

long back.

The party people have also joined in the

search during the past three months!

Hope someone will find them (dead or alive)

soon enough! ray:

Earth laughs in flowers.

A day is a miniature eternity.:flame:

When divine souls appear :angel:
men are compelled by their
own self respect to distinguish them.:hail:

[Visalakshi Ramani]

It is a lesson which all History teaches wise men, to put trust in ideas

and not in circumstances.

Light is the first of the painters.
There is no object so foul that intense light :flame:
will not make it beautiful.

The Americans have little faith. :suspicious:
They rely on the power of dollar. opcorn:

I think everyone might have read abt Mom's, Wife's and Girl's...

Its time to learn something abt Men...


A boy/man is one of the most beautiful creations of God.



He starts compromising at very tender age. He sacrifices his chocolates for his sister.





Later he sacrifices his love for just a smile on his parents face. He sacrifices his love for his wife and children by working late nights.





He builds their future by taking loans from banks and then repaying them for the life time. Thus he sacrifices full youth for his wife and children without any complain.

Believe me he struggles a lot but still has to hear the music (scolding) of Mother, wife and his boss. Yet every mother, wife and boss tries to have control over him.

Finally his life ends up by compromising for others happiness. He is that creature of God who no one can compete with.

Respect every boy/man in your life. You will never know what he has sacrificed for you.

Just extend your hand when he needs it




Boys also Have Emotions and respect it. Send it to every boy whom you know and girls to make them realize…

Thank you Amirtheswary!

Everyman has a price, as his own!

And every bad habit we indulge in! :shocked:

Smoking is always being projected
A sign of real manliness perfected! :faint:

It always claims its price to be paid,

An arm, a leg or a lung, if so allowed! :crutch:

When will man wake up to this truth?

And will learn to live in good health! :noidea:

Attention dear medical doctors!

People get confused by the symptoms of simple gas

problem with those of a heart attack-even medical

representatives like our colony secretary and his

much experienced elder brother!

Can you say some easy ways to determine the nature

of the problem and go for an ECG if necessary?

I have been told that strokes can be identified by

telling the person to smile or lift both arms. The

unevenness of the smile and that of the arms may

indicate the onset of stroke.

I request all of you to open a new thread to this

effect and educate us the lay people on how to

identify, check for, and the first aids necessary before

the actual treatment can be started.

Dear VR ji,

Symptoms of GERD(Gastro esophageal reflux disease) sometimes can mimick a heart attack.
But its better if someone thinks that his GERD is a heart attack and go for an ECG instead and not someone thinking his heart attack is GERD and drop dead.
Sometimes a person can be having GERD and a heart attack at the same time.

Liability is too high these days..no harm thinking of the worst case scenario and let the patients life be saved and also doc's life be saved from a law suit.
