In Indian movies, rowdies are shown collecting

"protection money" from the shopkeepers in the market place.

Protection money to protect from whom....???? :rolleyes:

Brace yourselves for the unexpected answer! :high5:

To protect from the same people who collect protection money!

What a "noble and deceptive" name given to plain and undiluted Black mailing!!!

Anger is a weak man's imitation of strength.

I have read it earlier but I saw it yesterday.

The people who were responsible to give convincing facts

and figures just shouted like "pettai daadaas" and threatened

people into silence regardless of the age, maturity and

achievements of the men concerned.

Anger IS the unconvincing imitation of strength by a weak

man. The "magalir ani" could have been women who just

walked out of a fish market - after changing into salwar suits. :rolleyes:


That may be the real reason why they had to stop short of their

routine flashing. :doh:
 
Sowbagyavathy VR, Greetings.

It seems, it would be very interesting to live in your 'colony' ( or is that a block of apartment buildings?). I understand one thing though; unreasonable persons will not understand reasonable grievances. One has to adopt அடாவடி in such circumstances. It is easy to become an unreasonable person. It is always nice to make unreasonable persons to taste their own medicine. Just a thought.

Cheers!
 
Vaishnavites normally apply Namam in 12 places in their body. This is called
"Dwadasa Namam". Dwa means Two and Dasa means Ten. That is why the
Second day after the Amavasya is known as Dwidiyai and the 12th day is known
as Dwadasi. We could see or note this either in our Panchangam or Tamil
Calendars. When Vaishnavites apply Thiru Namam in their body, they chant
the Namas of Lord Vishnu viz. Kesava, Madhava, Narayana, Govinda, Vishnu,
Madhusudhana, Thrivikrama, Vamana, Sridhara, Hrishikesa, Padmanabha, Damodara.
We can also notice in the Sandhya Vandanam, when we do Navagraha Kesavathi
Tharpanam, some of the Lord Vishnus Namas are chanted to seek the blessings
of Thirumal Narayanan.

Jealousy is a double edged knife. :heh:

It hurts he person who has it and also :pout:

him who it is developed against! :caked:

It destroys the peace of mind and

slowly but surely leads to one's downfall. :tsk:

Generally, study reveals the factor of jealousy is on the higher side with the women.
In fact, if I am correct, I read in some books. Are women more prone to jealousy
than men, or does it depend on person or vary from person to person. From the
articles and stories, we read that women seem to be more jealous, if she thinks
that her man has an emotional attachment with another woman. Perhaps, she
just wants to make sure that her man cares for her only. It is quite natural. It can
not be termed as jealous only. As far as jealousy is concerned, it wanes with time.

Dear sir,

I have come to believe over the years that jealousy is actually the same for both sexes but may be females show it openly and hence its thought that females are more jealous types.

Men somehow conceal that feeling well cos they would not want to show that anything affects them partially due to the cultural conditioning that males shouldnt display emotions as much as females.

Most jealousy motivated murders are committed by males but now we have "Swarna akka " types of females too so anything is possible these days.

Men and Women both want their partners to be emotionally attached to them most of the while.
But men mostly jealously guard their wives but they dont mind being emotionally attached to another woman.

Males are driven more by physical appearance but females are driven more by emotions.

I feel if a person is emotionally attached to another person besides his/her spouse he/she should be fair and just enough to allow freedom to his/her spouse to be emotionally attached to another person.

Do they think we BELONG exclusively to them under any category like

pen-pals???

Dear Mr. Raghy,

I was wondering whether I was boring people with fun and facts which do not relate to them.

But since you have shown some interest in this matter,
here is more :)

You have said it right. When the "head" tried to threaten the senior members into silence and tried to frighten me for having drafted the letter (on special request) believe it or not some twenty robust youngsters jumped up in my defence.

I hardly know them by their faces or even by their names. :shocked:

So when we fight for justice, the rest of the people DO fall in line.

So when the five unruly head + sub heads saw the twenty+ robust youngsters, they knew their days of "unquestioned loottee" are over and their wings have been cut to size and trimmed.

I wished for a new team but the old team had made a perfectly planned drama to make sure that the power does not go away from them.

They are so eager to 'serve us' by clinging to their chairs and posts - as if stuck by fevicol and quick fix.

They will NEVER dare to repeat the mistake of their high handed behaviour - if they have even a peanut sized brain.

The letter had been dissected, twisted, spread translated in Tamil depending on the language skill of some of the NOT very talented persons. :loco:

Someone read my letter in the meeting trying to create a feeling against me. But do you know what really happened. Everyone clapped for me aloud.

I was happy that they read it and put an end to the wrong speculations - even though unintentionally.

Yes Sir! You are right. At times we have to give them their own medicines, speak in their own language and let things backfire on them.

with warm regards and Cheers without beers :)

Completely natural and normal and not a crime. I appreciate your view point at it,
it is a good thing. Some jealousy is like drugs. It is for one to take or reject. You
can call it emotion too. No one is free from it unless there is a Medical Reason.
Some say justified jealousy is not a crime.

Ha. Ha. True, but Jealousy is inborn nature. When the second child is born the first will be jealous of the younger one and do all mischief to make the younger one uncomfortable.:pray2:

My dear Raji,
The answer lies concealed in the question itself. :)
They do so because they have not really disappeared.
They are out there reading us and watching us!
Only we can't see their presence...
but we can still feel their presence.
Try and concentrate for a few seconds...
you can reach them through telepathy
since they are still connected to us
through their thoughts ! :rolleyes:

One honest doubt!! Can the pen pals be real pals? They disappear so suddenly without prior notice! :bolt:
 
He is dreadfully married. :fear:

Let us all be happy, and live within our means, :couch2:
even if we to borrer the money to do it with.:rolleyes:

We have to train and transform our minds, sometimes, by shifting our habitual
methods to find out new norms, methods, avenues of living with humility, patience,
contentment and delight. We see the Athletes train their body to win the post.
When we utter something, we are sure that it has a thought process, similarly
every action that we perform has some end result. Hence, one has to develop
certain qualities like Respect, Forgiveness, Gratitude and Loyalty to lead a
happier and more meaningful life.

I post once a day and not for the next 24 hours - on most days!

So a honest, straight forward and point blank question

to the person(s) who posts
unrelated things

JUST after I post , everyday in every thread of mine...

Is IT because you want your name to be there for the full day

till I make a fresh post on the next day

and then you can repeat your performance???
:moony:

What if you one's post, triggers or inspires another random thought in others?
