Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud;

Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun;

And loathsome canker lives in the sweetest bud,

All men make faults. :tsk:

The main causes of Domestic violence are

unhappy marital life, dire poverty and ego.

The OP by Mr. C.Ravi proves it.

When there is no escape from the unhappy relationship,

killing becomes the only option available to the

oppressed and the depressed spouse.

A home could become the most dangerous place...

what with the sharp instruments, electrical gadgets,

gas cylinders, kerosene cans, staircases ...name it and you have it.

Those who walk into unhappy alliances must be allowed to get out it

without facing any social stigma.

Better still if people with equal energy tie the knot.

There is a poruththam (Maahendra poruththam)

which checks whether the sexual energies of the

would-be couple is well balanced.

When well balanced they will lead a happy married life.

Otherwise domestic violence will erupt in many forms

to varying degrees of seriousness.
 
Hey Diddle Diddle.



Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon!

This is a fantasy rhyme aiming at delighting the children with wild and impossible concepts. That is what is being done by most of the cartoon channels now- especially The Walt Disney Cartoons!

The terms “Hey diddle diddle” can be found in many of Shakespeare’s works. It corresponds in its mood and in its vein to the “hey nonny no” found in many Traditional English Folk ballads.

With their imagination running riot, the children burst out laughing in glee, as they picture the bulky cow jumping over the moon in the sky and the dish running away holding the hands of the spoon!

Visalakshi Ramani


I pondered over whether anyone can imagine weirder things than those stated in this nursery rhyme.

Yes it is possible for a "fertile mind" with its imagination running riot!.

It is imagining an old woman becoming pregnant, 23 years after she has had hysterectomy performed!

A man in his seventies being projected as a don Juan is another possibility!
 
Nearly 18 years ago, I had a student whom came to me for maths tuition.

She was the heroine of the kallappam episode, in which she was giggling

uncontrollably and confessed that she had eaten appam made with kallu for

the evening snack.

One day I told her to ask any doubt she had.

She asked me point blank how to use a popular birth control device,

making me perform a sitting high jump.:shocked:

I had expected some doubt in mathematics, but nothing was farther from

my thoughts than the doubt she asked me.

I told her she DOES NOT need to know it now. When the need arises she

will be told all about it by her parents.

I tipped her father that she needs close supervision to make her

concentrate only on her studies.

Later she stopped coming for tuition.

May be she could not face me or may be she got into some trouble and

stayed away.

It was NOT the age of INTERNET. People still asked the elders things that

they did not know about.

Reading about the arrest of a doctor who performs abortion for a mere

1500 Rs, I was reminded of this incident that took place nearly 18 years

ago.

In spite of this being the Internet saga :doh:

girls are still curious,

girls are still ignorant,

girls still get into trouble

for the mischiefs they do and

girls still seek the help of a quack

to set right their problems! :whoo:

Hero (-) X = Zero. That is, (-) X = Zero - Hero.

So, X = (-) zero (-) Hero that is, X = Hero (-) Zero.

But Zero has no value. So, X = Hero!

Sowbagyavathy V R, Greetings.

I refer to post # 430. I thought 'Dhina poruththam' is more essential for a peaceful life. And I also thought Sexual energies are compared in 'yoni porutham'.

Unhappy marriages usually don't end in violence. In the case of unhappy marriages, there is a constant fight. One can almost cut the hatred with a knief.... so much hatred can be felt in such families.

Again, dire poverty may lead to arguments, frusrtration and self harm... but seldom that leads to voilence against others. Dire poverty leads to this.."கெடைச்சா கஞ்சி தண்ணி, கெடைக்காட்டி கொயாத்தண்ணி....". A prostitute in dire poverty at Mount Road, outside Hotel Impala, taught me the philosophy of 'சால் உட்டா சீல்!'.. I still follow that principle in life.

Persons with equal energies should never tie the knot. That is recepie for disaster. One of them should be submissive to have a happy life. That's what I said to my son. When my daughter (in-law) lands here, I will tell her too.

Persons undergo domestic violence are more complicated. I spoken to a few of them.

Cheers!
 
Dear Mr. Raghy,

I have seen my servant maid of 1970 being bashed by her husband

every night after he had drunk like a fish.

If the woman in the house scolds her man for his inability to feed her

and her children, she would be bashed and manhandled by him.

Poverty leads to violence in the family.

"கெடைச்சா கஞ்சி தண்ணி, கெடைக்காட்டி கொயாத்தண்ணி...."

is understandable but the other one 'சால் உட்டா சீல்!'

beats my intellect!!!

If one of the two is submissive he or she would have to be always

submissive. It is expected of him /her.

The rule is "Give and Take" but the same person continues to "give"

and the other person continues to "take".

I too agree that domestic violence is much more complicated to be

defined by a simple formula.

with best wishes and regards,

V.R

It was customary to name the grandchildren after their grandparents.

Long names are out of fashion now. :nono:

Tongue Twisters are ruled out. :nono:

The name must be small, cute, pronounceable even by the non-Indians.

So when the grandfather's name runs into 12 alphabets and

it becomes inevitable to spell the word every time, everywhere,

and to everyone what does one do???

Simple!

Take only the initials.

Throw in two vowels to make it readable.

Give the proper masculine or feminine ending to the name.

Any guesses for the name of our just-born-grandson

created out of our initials???

Clue: I and my husband both share the same initials! :)

Dear All,

Wanted to share two stories, I received via email. Let us think over them..
YOU NEED TO READ BOTH STORIES




STORY NUMBER ONE



Many years ago, Al Capone virtually owned Chicago . Capone wasn't famous for anything heroic. He was notorious for enmeshing the windy city in everything from bootlegged booze and prostitution to murder.



Capone had a lawyer nicknamed "Easy Eddie." He was Capone's lawyer for a good reason.. Eddie was very good! In fact, Eddie's skill at legal maneuvering kept Big Al out of jail for a long time.

To show his appreciation, Capone paid him very well. Not only was the money big, but Eddie got special dividends, as well. For instance, he and his family occupied a fenced-in mansion with live-in help and all of the conveniences of the day.. The estate was so large that it filled an entire Chicago City block..


Eddie lived the high life of the Chicago mob and gave little consideration to the atrocity that went on around him.



Eddie did have one soft spot, however. He had a son that he loved dearly. Eddie saw to it that his young son had clothes, cars, and a good education. Nothing was withheld. Price was no object.

And, despite his involvement with organized crime, Eddie even tried to teach him right from wrong. Eddie wanted his son to be a better man than he was.


Yet, with all his wealth and influence, there were two things he couldn't give his son; he couldn't pass on a good name or a good example..

One day, Easy Eddie reached a difficult decision. Easy Eddie wanted to rectify wrongs he had done.He decided he would go to the authorities and tell the truth about Al "Scarface" Capone, clean up his tarnished name, and offer his son some semblance of integrity. To do this, he would have to testify against The Mob, and he knew that the cost would be great. So, he testified.



Within the year, Easy Eddie's life ended in a blaze of gunfire on a lonely Chicago Street .. But in his eyes, he had given his son the greatest gift he had to offer, at the greatest price he would ever pay.. Police removed from his pockets a rosary, a crucifix, a religious medallion, and a poem clipped from a magazine.


The poem read:



"The clock of life is wound but once, and no man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop, at late or early hour. Now is the only time you own. Live, love, toil with a will. Place no faith in time. For the clock may soon be still."







STORY NUMBER TWO



World War II produced many heroes. One such man was Lieutenant Commander Butch O'Hare.



He was a fighter pilot assigned to the aircraft carrier Lexington in the South Pacific.



One day his entire squadron was sent on a mission. After he was airborne, he looked at his fuel gauge and realized that someone had forgotten to top off his fuel tank.

He would not have enough fuel to complete his mission and get back to his ship.

His flight leader told him to return to the carrier. Reluctantly, he dropped out of formation and headed back to the fleet.

As he was returning to the mother ship, he saw something that turned his blood cold; a squadron of Japanese Aircraft was speeding its way toward the American Fleet.

The American fighters were gone on a sortie, and the fleet was all but defenseless. He couldn't reach his squadron and bring them back in time to save the fleet. Nor could he warn the fleet of the approaching danger. There was only one thing to do. He must somehow divert them from the fleet.



Laying aside all thoughts of personal safety, he dove into the formation of Japanese planes.. Wing-mounted 50 caliber's blazed as he charged in, attacking one surprised enemy plane and then another. Butch wove in and out of the now broken formation and fired at as many planes as possible until all his ammunition was finally spent.



Undaunted, he continued the assault. He dove at the planes, trying to clip a wing or tail in hopes of damaging as many enemy planes as possible, rendering them unfit to fly.



Finally, the exasperated Japanese squadron took off in another direction.



Deeply relieved, Butch O'Hare and his tattered fighter limped back to the carrier.



Upon arrival, he reported in and related the event surrounding his return. The film from the gun-camera mounted on his plane told the tale. It showed the extent of Butch's daring attempt to protect his fleet. He had, in fact, destroyed five enemy aircraft. This took place on February 20, 1942, and for that action Butch became the Navy's first Ace of W.W.II, and the first Naval Aviator to win the Medal of honor.


A year later Butch was killed in aerial combat at the age of 29. His home town would not allow the memory of this WW II hero to fade, and today, O'Hare Airport in Chicago is named in tribute to the courage of this great man.


So, the next time you find yourself at O'Hare International, give some thought to visiting Butch's memorial displaying his statue and his medal of Honor. It's located between Terminals 1 and 2.



SO WHAT DO THESE TWO STORIES HAVE TO DO WITH EACH OTHER?



Butch O'Hare was "Easy Eddie's" son...
 
A tree is known by its fruit.

A man is known by his son.

Easie Eddie need not have felt so uneasy

about bringing up a worthy son.

The boy had it in him already! :clap2:

I had gone to O'Hare Airport in 1998, 2002 and 2004.

But did not know this story then and so I

did not see the statue and medal of honor!
