Think or sink!

My left eye is ready for cataract surgery.
It can also wait for three more months.
I will complete the blog on NArAyaNeeyam in Margazhi
and go for the cataract surgery in the month of Thai.
Already 200 slokas are typed and ready for posting.
The reamining 400 can be typed in less than a month.
So as far as I am concerned
Thai piRanthaal vazhi piRakkum!
Thai piRanthaal vizhi thiRakkum!
 
thannaip polave piRaraiyum ninai! :thumb:

He who plays a dual role in reel life
as a man and a woman at the same time
will automatically assume this to be true
of the others males / females as well!!! :decision:

Most Gods/ demons have even number of heads.
Brahma has four.
Murugn has six.
RAvaN has ten.
Brahma and Murugan have heads in a circular arrangement.
Whether RAvaN has them in a horizontal or pyramidal
arrangement god only knows!!!
I guess it should be of interest
to the many females in his harem
more than any of us in this forum. :)
 
Names have always fascinated me.
Do you want to know WHY?
Think of these ...
Who but a Janaki will worry about
The Return of RAvanA???
The other Janaki has chosen a
spotted deer as her avatar. :cool:
Didn't it play an important part in RAmAyanNA? :thumb:
 
It finally hapened today!!!
It is customory to give the names of the two generations prior to that of the bride and the groom duirng the wedding ceremony.
Long ago I wondered aloud what was the necesity for this.
My brillint brother said that the people must be alert to take notice an Abraham Lincoln or an Abdul Kadar figuring in the names of the ancesters.
Today I received an invitation for the sashtiabda poorthi of a distant relative.
The name of one of the sons in law was Abdul!
If there had been an Antony as the another son in law - then
the family is eligible for an award for being so secular!

Dear Renu,

Still you don't know to whom to ask this Q in forum?

Ask the person whose mail box is overflowing with PMs. :lol:
P.S: It is not only enjoying but enjoying to the FULLEST! :popcorn:
 
My father used to say very often.
"Never advise anyone.
The wise man does not need it.
The fool will not take it!"
On the contrary here I am asking for advice
regarding my options for the eye surgery.
People are busy chit chatting in person or on phone.
They spend hours in advising unrelated persons.
But when it comes to advising me they just :tape: !!!

Rajiramji
Renukaji knows RRji is not far behind in enjoying life to the fullest .

She always goes to the best advisor.

RRji knows what is best for ladies and advises accordingly.lol
 
Internet is a very useful source of information. :ranger:

But yet there are somethings we want to have as

first hand information or personal experience -

or as they say "From the horse's mouth" :ear:
 
One smart maami is selling 50 m.l. saambaar/ rasam for Rs 10.
So one litre saambar will fetch her 200 Rs!!!
Not to be left behind in enjoying the loot,
the shop keeper sells it for 12 Rs making
his profit of a neat 40 Rs on
every litre of saambar/ rasam sold.

 
It is the packing that is worth the money paid!
The pouch will be so small that it will hold only 50 m.l.
Its mouth wil be sealed by white thread wound over
one hundred times making it look like a small bulb.
I am not sure whether people unwind the thread
or just cut open the pouch at a corner in the bottom!!!
 
Everything is being down-sized.
The degree coffee costs Rs 10 for 50 m.l
A small half litre flask of cofee costs Rs 100!!!
Gone are the days when people used to down
coffee (of kallichchottu consistancy) in lottaas and mugs!
In weddings they serve paayasam in
paper cups of 50 m.l. volume - half full.
The day is not far off when we may be
served paayasam in a thimble. :rolleyes:
 
When I asked for suger-free coffee, a knock-out
kashaayam was brought in the name of coffee. :wacko:

To escape this misery and the sugar, when I asked for milk,
it came sweetened with extra sugar !!!:rolleyes:
 
This is the age where small is considered beautiful.

Americans have promoted the culture of marketing everything in three sizes , small, medium and large.

This covers all drinks.

the pricing considers not only input costs , it takes into account volume of sale, distribution costs , location , capacity to consume, brand value , dealer margins in

addition to profit for the original producer of the product.

see how times have changed . a simple pouch of sambar or rasam has been converted into a sophisticated product to be sold at high cost with so many making a killing out of it.

Oh, yeah! At times! :D

Otherwise, how will I dare a pony ride for the first time in life, after celebrating the 'maNi vizhA'? :thumb:

That too ...... uphill, on a rainy day, at Kufri - Shimla !! :lol:
 
Why only SAmbAr?

See how idli has taken new forms and high price!

selling idly items at such rates is plain thuggery .

our high spending youngsters would land up there I suppose to consume such upmarket items.
