இல்லறம் இனிக்க 18 படிகள்.

17. வெள்ளத்தால் அழிந்த பிள்ளைகளைக் காட்டிலும்

செல்லத்தால் அழிந்த பிள்ளைகளே அதிகம்.

கண்டிப்பும் தேவை, கனிவும் தேவை.

A father must be firm and gentle.

A mother must be gentle and firm.

18. Don't spoil your children by

making their lives very comfortable. :couch2:

செல்வம் சேர்த்து பிள்ளைகளை சுகத்தில் ஊற வைப்பதைவிட

நல்லவர்களாக, வல்லவர்களாக, ஒழுக்கம் உடையவர்களாக

அவர்களை வளர்ப்பது நாட்டுக்கும் வீட்டுக்கும் நல்லது. :thumb:

P.S.

More ideas and thoughts which deserve to be added

may be added to this series by you! :pray2:

Yesterday I proved Mr. Raghy's point.

Today I am proving my own stand! :)
 
பூவும், தலையும்!

தலை இல்லத்தின் தலைவன்!
பூ பூச்சூடும் பூவை என்றால்,

கண்டிப்பும், கனிவும் நாணயத்தின்
இரு வேறு பக்கங்கள் ஆகும்.

கண்டிப்பு => தலை => தந்தை
கனிவு => பூ => தாய்.
 
Make-up Mathematics!

When people dye their hair, they look up to
twenty years younger than their real age.

They are happy to have defied the aging process! :happy:

But those twenty years lie, waiting to get back, in an ambush. :heh:

Once the hair-dyeing is stopped those twenty years pounce back and
make the person look twenty years older than his /her real age!!!:doh:

Law of Conservation of Age??? :rolleyes:

இது எப்படி இருக்கு???

He was a multimillionaire.

People wanted to get a glimpse of him.

Magazines wanted to feature about him.

During one of the interviews a journalist wanted an autograph of the great man.

He smiled and confessed that he could neither read nor write.

The journalist exclaimed,

"If you have reached this eminence without being literate what would you have been with proper education?"

The great man replied in a cool tone.

"I would have been an incense boy in the local church"

The journalist could not make head or tail of this remark.

The great man told his story.

He had applied for the job of an incense boy but was turned down

since he could not sign his name.

He felt wretched and badly needed a smoke.

There was not a single tobcco shop within five mile radius

He opened a tobacco shop there.

With his luck and hard work his business expanded into a huge

net work making him one of the richest men in the city.

Education is not necessary to succeed in life---

if your are "business - smart" by birth!!!

 
I owe so much to the three women in my life-my mother, my wife and my daughter-that a hundred janma again in this world will not be enough to repay the debt I owe to them.

1. If my father helped me hone the raw intellect into useful intelligence my mother gave my effort the much needed bonding and integration. If my father taught me to be analytic and exploring with courage and determination my mother taught me to appreciate the value of the resources that I need to achieve my goal and how to value them and hold them close. If my father taught me how to lead, my mother taught me how to be a team player.

2. My wife. She is more intelligent, more resourceful and more resilient than me. She tolerates me, puts up with me and manages me efficiently. She equips me for my struggles and nurses my wounds and keeps me fit always.

3. My daughter. She made me a father. She is a replica of me in everything. She is twice me in less than half my age.

Without these three women my life would have been miserable and I would have been less than an animal.

I see in these three women the quintessence of Indian womanhood and I bow to them.

Cheers

Clay (plastic) is really cool to play with.
They come in colorful containers and in many colors.
Tejas was watching his mother roll out the clay into long sticks and arrange them in a circle like our murukku or a millipede.
He kept saying some musical words
"Cinnamon roll innam venam!"
I told him,
"Cinnamom roll
innan onnu
panna venam"
He started singing theses words in his own jumping octave tunes.:sing:
Truly there is no music sweeter than the mazhalai of the kutties
in their mother tongues! :ear:

Raghy Wish you all the best and God bless you for your services and long life.
If all husbands are like you, there is no question of difference of opinion. You are a
great guy. I hope by reading your message, people will have an awareness and get
to know what is the relation between husband and wife.

Thanks for explicitly posting it.

dear Mr. Raju,

I can SEE that you are a wonderful son, a wonderful husband and a great father.

You appreciate the way your father sharpened your intellect and your mother made you realize the "value of values".

You must be great son!

How many men will accept that their wives are better persons than themselves -without feeling even a trace of jealousy???

Most women tolerate their less well endowed husbands since they still believe that Man is to be loved and obeyed in spite of every thing.

That make you a great husband worthy of your wife.

Daughters are the loveliest creatures in the world.

Whatever they may do to others, they will never let down their own parents and children.

You are a very lucky man indeed!!!

My left thumb became useless a few years ago.
It was followed by swollen left elbow.
Now the pain has reached the left shoulder
making it impossible to move the hand in any direction.
I wish my Mr. R were as thoughtful as Mr. R of the Forum! :)

Talking of shoulders, I know one lady whose shoulder joint is so worn out that the ball slips out of the socket. She knows how to push it right back in and go about the chores as is nothing is wrong!!! :faint:
 


Personal Space.


Personal space is similar to an invisible bubble surrounding you. When a person moves so close as to compress your personal bubble of space, you feel uncomfortable and challenged.

Every one’s personal space is different. How closely you stand to a person while talking to him or her, depends on whether the person is a stranger, an acquaintance, a friend, a sibling, a parent or a lover!

The better we know a person, smaller will be the size of the bubble. The bubble is larger for casual acquaintances and largest for perfect strangers. The bubble is larger for two men than for two women. The size of the bubble also depends on the different cultures.

When two people have an argument, the first thing they do is to move closer, invading each others personal space. This is called “getting in some one’s face”. People demand to “have an elbow room” to feel free and not suffocated.

Edward. T. Hall studied the personal spaces between all combination of people and here are his findings.

Intimate space is one and a half feet or less. Personal space is 4 feet. Social space is 12 feet and public space is 25 feet. No wonder the podium of the speakers is far away from the audience. If the crowd of strangers were to be placed nearer, the speaker himself would feel challenged by the audience.

At times we are not able to maintain the personal space. When we are in a crowded lift or train or bus, we have to be nearer than this space limit. But we look away from the people standing near to us, so that we won’t appear aggressive or nosy!

Visalakshi Ramani

Friends can become ex friends but relatives can't become ex relatives.
All the same NOTHING can stop them from increasing their personal space and keeping off or even becoming invisible and inaudible.
 
Dear VR,

Your post #839 on personal space for reference:

When a European(a demi God walking on earth for most of us Indians) writes about personal space and determines it as 4 feet for personal proximity, 12 feet for social proximity and another 25 feet for public space it becomes a scientific truth well said. But when a brahmin here amongst us says the distance for physical proximity is 6 cubits for performing a certain religious duties, it is brahminism, untouchability and what not. The moment a brahmin in India says this his voice is drowned in a chorus of condemnation without giving an opportunity to him to explain what he wants to say. Nothing short of a lip-lock with every Tom, Dick, Harry or Nancy, Lizzy and Maggy (depending on whether you are a man or a woman) is acceptable here because the sin is not maintaining personal space but it is untouchability. Think about it. How conceited are we as a society!!

Cheers.

Personal space is determined by the intimacy or non intimacy of the people involved.
Surely no one will comfortable with a perfect stranger occupying the intimate space.
Keeping the people at arm's length may be to make sure that they are not invading one's personal space.
Untouchability has nothing to do with this. It is due to the feeling of comfort, safety and freedom.
 
When I traveled in an electric train in Mumbai
my personal space became not zero but negative!
I was really "out of shape" when I got out
of the train feeling crushed and crying.
Smell of liquor, beedi, cigarette, sweat ...
name it and it was there all around me!

So sad to read this. Initially it was poor blood circulation to the extremities ( are you on asprin regularly now? Check your doctor, please). Second stage was arthritis at the elbow. Now it is pain all through the arm. Well, you need a very good massage, starting from the lower back, kneading all the muscles and tissues up to your shoulder and down the shoulder. If someone can get those muscles supple and relaxed all the way from lower back, you can swing your arm. That will relieve your pain too. If you can find someone to do that for you........

Cheers!
 
Drawing the crowd of adults and youngsters
with adult material is easy.

Drawing adults with children's material is tough.

All those articles were meant for children but
it is really encouraging to note that
grown up men and women enjoy them
as well as the youngsters do.
 
Twenty five articles have been posted in the new blog
Flavors, Tastes and Benefits.
Want to know who is more interested in reading them?
People from UAE.
Probably they are the world class connoisseurs of food. :hungry:

Warm up the mustard oil, (should not be kept on the burner for long time)
which is available in the shop, along with little "poondu" apply it daily twice,
i.e. once in the morning (before taking bath) and once in the evening.
Little mussage is sufficient. You will find relief in a week. This
is happening due to frozen shoulder.

Thank you Bala Anna. :pray2:
I am ready to try anything to defrost my frozen shoulder!
I shall try after getting the oil and poondu
(both of which we usually do not buy)!
