For verily the tribe is all, and we :high5:

Are nothing singly save as parts of it.:flock:



She haggled for a trinket with her tongue :blabla:

To veil the eager commerce of her eyes.



Foolish ears :ear:

That should be tickled not with straw but with spears.

Two friends were going on a highway during a week end to see their friends. The
person driving the vehicle asked the person sitting with him, can you tell me the
reason for the vehicle's windshield being bigger while the rear view mirror is tiny.
The back seater instantly replied that our past is not as important as our future.
Kindly look forward and drive carefully.

A big rear-view-mirror will hide the view in the front of the car! :moony:

It is a considered opinion that neither past nor future is important.What is important is Present.There is a saying " Yesterday is history,Tomorrow is mystery,Today is a gift; that's why we call it the present"

Post # 1636 in Life is like that posted by me yesterday!

Past is a History
Future is a Mystery.
Present is a gift.

That is why it is called Present.

I was pondering over why God had made flying fish when fish are just supposed to swim in water!

He has also made birds which can't fly due various reasons--too heavy to fly or too weak in their wing muscles.

There must be some hidden message in these discrepancies and abnormalities!

Do these mean that we can never really take anything for granted as our birthright???

Do these mean that nothing is impossible for the Creators who can make anomalies work better than the normal things???

It is best not to assume things and abilities as the natural gifts and also not to be discouraged by the defects and deviations.

The ostrich can't fly but it can run fast and kick really hard!

Who can really understand the divinity hidden under everyday objects and things! :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

After prolonged struggle and signature campaign, the accounts for the year which ended on 1-3-2011 will be submitted (half-heartedly and full-grudgingly) on 29-1-2012.

A period long enough :shocked:
for the formation, growth and
safe delivery of a bonny baby boy or girl!!! :baby:

Red tape-ism???

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

We get hooked to various things good, bad and ugly

during our life time!

How long can

a person who stays up till 3 A.M. typing / reading; :typing:

and one who sacrifices sleep to give vent to one's views;

and one who is pulsating with bursting knowledge remain

invisible, inaudible and incognito??? :noidea:
Only time can tell us! :couch2:

When some task is assigned to us, if we find no supervisor is around us to
measure our stage of assignment, it is then our time to check the yardsticks ourselves.

I did not intend giving halwa to Tirunelveli when I replied to the post since I had not seen the above quote given by you earlier.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Dear Mr. S.S!
I KNEW that you had not seen my post.
Still I could have used some Tirunelveli halwa! :hungry:
If not really at least in my imagination!

Why many people quit (exodus?) is still a mystery.

The greater mystery is why the young Turks
have also quit (another exodus?) :shocked:

One non-veg eating friend asked us in a meeting, while discussing the menu for the alumni meet dinner,

"Who wants your sambar and appalam?"

Now the forum is (-) even that saadhu appalam and spicy sambar! :doh:

We study from our Histories and Puranaas that if one tells
the truth or fact, he/she does not have to to remember about anything.
