Dear Renu,
Did you tell him this will be possible only in the western countries where his children
and her children could attend their wedding! :)

Dear VR ji,

I recently joked with him that he had innocently asked us when he was 5 years old that why he had not been invited to his parents wedding.

Ok now since the reproductive chapter had been covered in school his reply was different.

He said "Yup I was dumb back then..now I know that that time you guys did not mate yet for me to be born"

Dear Renu,
I must say very thoughtful of the Education Committee,
to introduce the subject just as the children enter their teens.
Hope they stop with theory and do not go for demo or practicals. :)

Dear VR ji,

In 7th standard they have posters all over the school explaining and warning students about Statutory Rape.

It goes "Sex with a girl below the age of 16 even with her CONSENT is considered Rape"

So it is a good move so that unwanted activities can be curbed.

There are videos about reproduction at the cellular level where they are showed fertilization of a sperm and ova.(but no human beings shown..only the cells).

With the threat of H.I.V and AIDS hanging over the head like Damocles' sword,
it is better that the children learn the facts of life early enough to save and protect themselves.
 
He was carrying the four long brooms packed in a firm cylinder
and provided it with strings for hanging them from his shoulder.

Those brooms being extra long and the packing so cute that
the security will want to check it in the train. :suspicious:

I can imagine how deflated they will feel :(
when they find that what they had thought to be a rifle
was in fact a set of four house sweeping brooms! :)

The principle of the Two Lines (Iru kodugal) and the
philosophy of comparison runs far deeper than we think.
The man who is lame fells jealous of the man with legs.
The blind man envies those with vision.
The deaf man hates those with the gift of of hearing.
 
At times this acts to the benefit of the less fortunate over the unfortunates.

The one-eyed-man becomes the king of the Land of the Blind.

The incoherent speaker becomes the gem among the dumb.

Those who can walk feel superior to those who have to crawl.

Beautiful proverbs bring out these situations.

We have nice ones in Tamil also.

ஊமைக்கு தெத்து வாயன் உயர்ந்த வாசாலகன். :kev:

Dear VR ji,

I somehow beg to differ..

Many physically challenged people are actually very contended with themselves.

A person who was born blind has no idea what sight is..so he seldom envies the sighted.

For him darkness is his sight.

Same goes with a deaf person..he does not hate anyone who can hear.

For him silence is his world.

The man born lame too never envies the man who can run cos for him he never felt what walking on legs were.

Let me give a better example...Does a person born a vegetarian envy a person who is Non veg??

No isn't it?

A vegetarian is contended with vegetarianism and does not need to envy a Non Veg and vice versa.

Hatred is seldom seen in the physically challenged...it is always seen in those who are so called normal and able bodied.

dear Renu,
You are right. But hose who were born normal and later lost an ability are truly jealous of those who still have the ability. I have seen this in many cases. :mad:
In fact it was this kind of people - who originally had and later lost the ability- I was referring to. Those who are born minus one or more abilities learn to live with that and try to compensate for it by developing the other existing abilities better than the normal people. :thumb:
 
The city bus would appear to be stuffed with human cargo.

But when ten more persons enter into the bus,

they would still find space to accommodate themselves.

My house has become like a city bus now. :dizzy:

Whatever could not be sold or thrown away

(from the ancestral house in order to vacate it )

is getting dumped into my house. :bump2:

For the first day my house will resemble a railway platform. :wacko:

Then I will use my 3 D geometric arrangements and

stuff them somewhere - where they fit best and

my house will become a city bus from a railway platform. :decision:

Yesterday was the arrival of the last load ( I hope).

Dear VR ji,

This to a certain extent I have to agree.

I once called up a person who is a member of an NGO for the physically challenged.
He used to be normal person till an accident which rendered him paralyzed waist down.

I wanted his help to bring about awareness among the physically challenged in terms of exercise cos the patients who are wheel chair bound and with hypertension and diabetes never get any physical activity done.

So I wanted his suggestion of asking the government to set up gym with modified equipment for the physically challenged and also give tax exemption for pre existing gyms to set up a physically challenged unit so that physically challenged persons can derive health benefits of simple cardio workout or even yoga.

And I was in for a shock of my life!

At first he was polite..may be he thought I was also physically challenged.

Then he suddenly asked me if I was normal or physically challenged.

When he knew I was normal his tone became so bitter and rude and he did not want to address any issue I brought up.

He was literally raising his voice over the phone so I had no choice but to drop the idea.
 
வாரத்துக்கு ஒரு முறை துணி துவைக்கிறார்கள்
அதுவும் ஆடோமடிக் மிஷீனில். :washing:

இத்தனைக்கும் பிறகும் என்னவோ உலகமே தன் தலை மேல்

I often wonder why the celebrities take so much pain

and caution while visiting some place incognito.

All they have to do is go without make-up.

I am sure none but the close family can recognize them...

that too because they keep seeing that face often enough!

With the make-up they are the colorful edition.

Without make-up they are the washed-out edition!!! :tsk:
 
I remember the room mate of my son's classmate in I.I.T.
We stayed in their house for about a week in S.F.

Every time I invite her to join us in the photographs,
she would run to "put on a face" as she would call it. :)

Sure enough she was golden in color and had golden hair!

Without the darkened eyebrows and reddened lips,
she would look like some kind of a huge metal trophy. :rolleyes:
 
The well baked mud pots giving a metallic ringing sound when tapped gently.

The gatam vidhvaans can produce a variety of sounds, by using the mouth of the pot

variably, along with their bellies (pot belly or not or flat belly).

A cracked pot gives a flat sound which can be easily discerned. :ear:

After all a cracked pot is not much different from a crackpot! :decision:
