I think you had already let the cat out when you spoke of your special day in your reply to Mr. Raghy.
I thought of sending it by 123 greetings and then decided to make the forum pages more colorful.

Little Tejas wants to slide down the giraffe's long neck and ride the zebras when he goes to the zoo. :becky:
Hope he does not want to have anything to do with with the tigers, bears and lions! :nono:

All the kids LOVE the monkeys in the zoo. 
Is it because the monkeys are so lively and active or :roll:
do they find the resemblances with their original ancestors???

The very first complete sentence in English
spoken by my little grand daughter was
"I want to be a monkey!" :becky:
Here monkey theme is very popular in
children's dresses and the other articles they use.

WE too love monkeys though we do not speak it out!
But we use the word in many expressions like "Monkey business!"
Are there more such expressions? Well I will explore about it soon enough!

Dislike carries with it a sense of aversion alone whereas the terminology
hate indicates an intense sense than the quote dislike. Normally, it is said
if someone does not like a person, it means that he would not like him. Thehate indicates an intense sense than the quote dislike. Normally, it is said
person whom someone dislikes may be his/her own relative or a friend for that
matter. Sometimes that person may be his/her brother, family friend, uncle or
aunty, etc. Whereas, if someone hates a person, it means that he/she would
not mind at all if anything happening to him or her. They do not simply care
if something happens to them. At times, they do not even bother to hear about
them. To be very precise, hate represents an emotion, while dislike is not emotion
but only a feeling of mind. In the course of time, dislike may turn into a liking but
hate generally can not be compared with dislike.

Whatever science may say, we are descendants from monkeys only. We do not have tail but we do have a tail bone. They are more entertaining and active. Somewhere we might have lost some genes!

Minus a tail, a man can do so much mischief!
With a tail, what will be the limiting factor???

When we really hate a person we keep thinking about him/her even more than the people we love.

பக்தியும், பகைமையும்.
பக்தியும், பகைமையும் மாறுபட்டாலும்,
முக்தியை அளிப்பதில், அவை சரிசமமே.
அவை இரண்டும் எதிர்ப் பதங்களே – ஆயினும்
அவை ஒரே நாணயத்தின் இரு பக்கங்களே.
அதீத விருப்பம் பக்தியில் முடியும்;
அதீத வெறுப்போ பகையில் முடியும்!
கண்ணன் மேல் கொண்ட பக்தி பெரியதா?
கண்ணன் மேல் கொண்ட பகைமை பெரியதா?
நூறு பிறவியில் கொள்ளும் பக்தியும்,
மூன்று பிறவிகளில் கொள்ளும் த்வேஷமும்,
சரிசமம் ஆகும் தராசுத் தட்டில்;
சரிதான் மாயக் கண்ணன் கணக்கு.
நாம் விரும்புபவர்களை, அவ்வப்போது
நாம் விருப்புடன் கொஞ்சம் நினைப்போம்.
நாம் வெறுப்பவர்களையோ, நெருப்பென
நம் நினைவில் இடைவிடாது கொள்வோம்!
எப்படி நினைத்தால் என்ன கண்ணனுக்கு?
எத்தனை நேரம் நினைக்கிறோம் என்றே,
கணக்கு வைத்துக்கொண்டு மனம் கனிவான்;
கணக்கு முடிந்தவுடன், கருணை பொழிவான்.
பக்தியும், அன்பும் அடைவிப்பது போன்றே,
பயமும், பீதியும் அவனை அடைவிக்கும்.
“எப்படியோ என்னை நினைத்தாலே போதும்”,
என்றே கண்ணன் எண்ணுகின்றான் போலும்!
விருப்பு வெறுப்புக்கு அப்பாற்பட்டவன்
வேறு எப்படித்தான் எண்ண முடியும்?
வாழ்க வளமுடன்,

AFFECTION AND ANIMOSITY.
As far as ‘Mukthi’ is concerned ‘bakthi” and ‘dwEsham’ are equal, in all
respects. They look like opposite words, but they are the two sides of
the same coin!
Extreme love culminates in ‘bhakti’ and extreme hatred in ‘dwEsham’.
Which of these is superior? Bhakti to krishnA or dwEsham to Him?
Bhakti in a hundred births is equal to the dwEsham in three births!
This is true according to the time scale of KrishnA.
We remember the person whom we love now and then; but we remember
the person whom we hate – like a constant fire kept alive in the mind.
Krishna does not bother about the emotions accompanying our thoughts-
since He is beyond rAgA and dwEshA. When we fulfill the time
requirement, He showers His blessings on us.
Isn’t it strange that Bhayam and BhEthi work in the same way as
Affection and love in winning MOkshA?

When we dislike somebody maybe it is only for some particular reason. When we hate someone, maybe we do so for many reasons. If one tries to find out the genesis of such hatred we may be surprised or shocked to find that our own shortcomings sprouted that. Of course not in all cases. Instead of hating somebody it will do lot to our psyche if we totally avoid such person however close he may be.

Sometimes one may think stupid and to raise a ridiculous query, but
there is no surprise or wonder that animals do have easy bond like human
beings. One can cherish, love them and interact with them. There is a major
difference that they do not turn their backs or argue with the human
beings or has a habit of Koll Cholluthual. It is better to have pets or
play around with them rather than wasting one's precious time with
some people who do not know the value of a human being except to hurt
the feelings of others and sometimes outwardly reject others. No doubt
this statement may sound little harsh but animals are more good natured
than humans. To cite an instance we had a dog in our house and it gave
three generations and the last one died recently when we were out
in Madurai and it was lying at our door step until I returned back.
Even neighbors did not bother to remove it when unbearable smell was
around.

DEAR FATHER.
Homage to my father (on his death anniversary.)
Eighteen years have not caused any dilution!
Nor have they given us any permanent solution!
We used to follow his many a wise resolution;
Our life was just going around him in revolution.
He has contributed much to our evolution;
And guarded us from every possible pollution.
One day he had decided on his ablution;
And handed us down everything in devolution.
His complete and voluntary dissolution;
Still brings in on us a terrible convulsion.
Life is not just merely an illusion.
We will live up to his expectation!

The young daughter-in-law prepared many things for Gokulaashtami puja.
All of them were the traditionally prepared items except the ' kaamura' mixture.
The clever son asked his mother,
"Why are you not offering the Dasaavathaara bakshanam to Krishna?"
The orthodox mother was more than willing and eager to offer the
Dasaavathaara bakshanam to Krishna along with the other items prepared.
