Like the dew on the mountain,
Like the foam on the river,
Like the bubble on the fountain,
Thou art gone and for ever! :tsk:

Love rules the court, the camp, the grove,
And men below and saints above;:angel:
For love is heaven, and heaven is love. :thumb:

And such a yell was there, :horn:
of sudden and portentous birth.:baby:

O what a tangled web we weave, :spider:
When first we practice to deceive. :lie:

And come he slow or come he fast,
It is but death who comes at last.

பேசும் கிளி!

பேசும் கிளி விலை வெறும் ஐநூறு ரூபாய்.

"பேசுமா இந்தக் கிளி?" என்று கேட்டால்,

பேசியது அது "அதில் என்ன சந்தேகம்?"

"நல்ல பேரம் தான் ஆனாலும் இன்னும்

சொல்லட்டும் ஒரு வார்த்தை மீண்டும்!"

"ஐநூறு ரூபாய் பெறுவாயா நீ சொல்லு?"

"அதிலென்ன சந்தேகம்!" என்றது கிளி.

உற்சாகமாக வாங்கி வந்தான் வீட்டுக்கு.

பிறகு தெரிந்தது அந்தக் கிளி பேசுவது

அந்த வார்த்தைகளை மட்டுமே என்று!

"உன்னை போய் விலைக்கு வாங்கினேனே

நான் ஒரு மாங்காய் மடையன் தானே?" :doh:

"அதில் என்ன சந்தேகம்?" என்று :blabla:

ஒரே போடாய்ப் போட்டது கிளி. :high5:

இது எப்படி இருக்கு???

A man may kiss a bonny lass, :kiss:
And yet be welcome home again.:welcome:

The mad hatter in Alice in wonderland is :crazy:

NOT so mad after all! :nono:

He speaks in the correct sequence as

"We will forgive and forget". hwell:

It has taken me all these years to realize it! :faint:

"மறப்போம் மன்னிப்போம்"

என்கின்றார்கள் எல்லோரும்.

முற்றிலும் தவறான sequence அது!

மன்னித்து விட்டால் தானாகவே எல்லோரும்.

மறைந்தும் போய்விடுகின்றார்கள்;

மறந்தும் போய் விடுகின்றோம்!

இதைக் கண்டு பிடிக்க எனக்கு

இத்தனை நாட்கள் தேவைப்பட்டது.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

மறுக்கமுடியாத, மறைக்கமுடியாத,

மறக்கமுடியாத உண்மை இதுவே!

"When we forgive, we also forget". hwell:

Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale, :music:
Her infinite variety ; other women cloy
The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry
Where most she satisfies.

Do Synthetic dresses breath AIR or FIRE?

Many people get burned /charred beyond recognition in the road accidents in which an oil tanker is involved.

Synthetic clothes may be a liberal contributor to the casualty.

People wear synthetic clothes - since they do not crumble/ get squashed/ run colors/ get wet etc.

But of how many of them are aware of the fact a strip of synthetic cloth burns better than even a candle? :shocked:

It drips a sticky substance which just gets attached to the skin inseparably?

These clothes do not breathe air - since we feel stuffy in them but they DO breath fire!

A cotton or silk or any natural fire will not catch fire as easily as their synthetic counterparts nor do they burn so well.

So for your own safety avoid wearing synthetic dresses during risky travels, while working in the kitchen and while bursting fire crackers and celebrating deepaavali.

An enormous lady got into a crowded bus. :flock:

She expected to be offered a seat.

No one budged - since she may need not just one, but three seats to accommodate herself. :couch2:

She started glaring at everyone. :mmph:
One timid fellow got up and said very solemnly, eep:

"Madam, Here is my humble contribution towards

your seat"

A riddle from real life!

Two friends had a misunderstanding.

The first fellow turned his face away and said,

"I don't talk to dogs" :wof:

The second fellow smiled and said,

"But I do. Oh come on!"

The first fellow said ,"I won't sit with dogs"

The second fellow said, "But I will. Take a seat"

The first fellow said, "I won't eat with dogs"

The second fellow said, "But I will!"

and ordered food for two. :hungry:

So who is the labeler and who is the dog?


Are they one and the same or not???

Dear Mrs. Visalakshi Ramani,

That reminds me of an old joke I read long ago.
Shall we say the same lady tried to enter the bus, but the entrance of the Bus didn't allow her
bulk of body to enter easily. Watching this,the school boy sitting near the entrance said "Maam, why don't you try by your sides ?". Pat came the reply from the lady "Young man don't you see, I have no sides!".

Cheers,
Brahmanyan,

Dear Sir,
Namsate!
This reminds me of another story.

A cowherd tried to enter the gate of his house with his long stick held across his body on his shoulder. He tried and tried but could not enter.

Just then one of his buffaloes came there and entered the gate by turning its head so that its long horns got in first and then brought in its body .

At times the animals seem to be cleverer than some of the human beings, we come across.

I have heard that cats check up whether the hole/ door is big enough to safely enter, by using their mustache. If the ends of the mustache do not get bent, the cat will enter in it confidently.

with warm regards,
Visalakshi Ramani.

The history and the mystery!

I never had this problem in the past history.

Then why did it happen now is a mystery!

My brain works overtime - when I sleep.

I think everybody's brain does this too.

That is why when we sleep over an issue or problem,

we get the solution the next morning!

I have never had to guess the words of any song or

supply the missing word-using my imagination or

logic.

Then why did I have to guess the correct word of a

certain song from among three similar words???

There is another song in Subhabanthuvaraali by

Sri G. N. Balasubramaniam.

Its Anu pallavi goes thus:

"Boo suraadhi sam sevitha kamale

Boga mokshaadhi daayike vimale"

In the Himagiri thanaye the words are

"Ramaa Vaani sam sevitha sagale."

Now the mystery got solved as to why I had three

words to choose from-thanks to the common phrase

"sam sevitha" occurring in both the songs!

Deft definition(especially when applied to bulging men and

all-rounder ladies).

A circle is closed figure with no straight edges,

the points on which lie at a fixed distance

from a fixed point called the center.

Here is a scary piece of news. Please read on and be safe rather than sorry!

LAPTOP USERS: BE AWARE!

A couple lost their 25 year old son in a fire at home on June 4th. The son who had graduated with MBA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison two weeks earlier had come home for a while. He had lunch with his dad at home and decided to go back to clean up his hostel room. His father told him to wait, to meet his mother, before he went back for a few days. He decided to take a nap while waiting for his mom to come back home from work. Some time later their neighbors called 911 when they saw black smoke coming out of the house.

Unfortunately, the 25 years old died in the three year old house. It took several days of investigation to find out the cause of the fire. It was determined that the fire was caused by the laptop resting on the bed. When the laptop was on the bed cooling fan did not get the air to cool the computer and that is what caused the fire. He did not even wake up to get out of the bed because he died of breathing in carbon monoxide.

The reason I am writing this to all of you is that I have seen many of us and also our brothers& sisters sons&daughters friends&family using the laptop while in bed. Let us all decide and make it a practice not to do that. The risk is real. Let us make it a rule not to use the laptop on bed with blankets and pillows around. Please educate as many people as you can. :horn:
