Todays (Tuesdays) New York Times crossword puzzle makes a connection to Poet Samuel Coleridge's poem Rime of the Ancient Mariner -

Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where
Nor any drop to drink
(That seems to be the predicament of the visiting travelers (NRI's and Indian musicians on concert tour) too! )

dear prof,
I met a professor from Germany while traveling from Coimbatore to Hyderabad. He would eat only Marie biscuits and drink Bottled Bisleri water. He was a paranoid that he might catch infection if he eats or drinks anything else. Of course he was as flat as a bread slice!
When we go abroad from India we can drink even the water from the bath room tap safely.
What a contrast!!! :shocked:
 
Who could have even dreamed of our bearded

Dhanush playing opposite to Sonam Kapoor??? :faint:

Not even Dhanush himself I am sure!!! :high5:

The name of the film is Raanjhanaa!!!
 
சிரமும், சிகரமும்.

திடுக்கிட்டுப் போனேன் படித்ததும்!
திரும்பிய இடமெல்லாம் அதுவே!!

"சிரத்தை எடு, சிகரத்தைத் தொடு"
சிரத்தை எடுத்தால் கிடைக்கும்

சிறை தண்டனை, ஜெயில் களி,
பிறகு தூக்கு தண்டனை அல்லவா?

sraddhaa என்னும் சொல்லை தமிழாக்கி
செய்வித்தார்கள் ஒரு ஷாக் ட்ரீட்மென்ட் !!!
 
வாழட்டும் இளமை!

குட்டி குட்டிப் பெண்கள்;
உயரமான பையன்கள்!!

கண்கள் விரியும் பெண்களுக்கு,
விண்ணைப் பார்க்கும் போதும்;

பிரியம் கொண்டவர்களை
அருகில் பார்க்கும்போதும்!

விரிந்த கண் விரித்த வலையில்
விழுந்து விடுவர் ஆடவர்கள்!

செல்லும் போதெல்லாம் கடந்து,
மெல்லிய புன்னகை கற்கண்டு.

இளமை இனிமையானது தான்!
வளமையுடன் வாழட்டும் இளமை!!
 
A reminder to myself
to mind my business...

which is blogging the :typing:
puraaNas worth spreading.

My father would often say, :roll:
"We must remember why we are here!"

My guru would say, :angel:
"Mind ONLY your business!"

So before I sit with my P.C.
I must recite once at least
"I shall mind my own business" :)
 
The secret of success! (or)

The long and short of it! (or)

The principle of the two lines (Iru Kodugal)

Call it by any name ..... :decision:

but it remains he same...:thumb:

If you want to appear taller... always be among shorties.

If you want to appear leaner... always be among fatties.

If you want to appear brighter... always be among locos.

Sound easy enough but the problem is that

they may be on the lookout for people
shorter, fatter and dumber than themselves!!! :faint:
 
That is why appearance deceive.
The apparent expansion of a liquid is converted
to the absolute expansion of the liquid
by adding the increase in the volume of the container.
Absolute things are independent of their surroundings.
Always go on seeking the absolute till you find it and
never ever settle down for the apparent.
 
Nature always restores balance and makes up for the deficiencies too. :first:

One family of five + floating population went missing for a month during the vacation.

Now they are back with a bang and with an aditional group a mini zoo :scared:

which would leave ONLY after makingup for the lost time during the past month. :rolleyes:
 
எட்டுக் கட்டை ஏகாம்பரம் :ear:

ஏசினாலும் தொல்லை!!! :rant:

பேசினாலும் தொல்லை!!! :blabla:
 
தொடங்கும் போதே எட்டுக் கட்டையில் கத்துபவர்கள்:rant:

முடிக்கும் போது எத்தனை கட்டையில் கத்துவார்கள்???:rolleyes:
 
புலி, ஆடு, புல்லுக் கட்டு!

புலியும், புல்லுக் கட்டும்
சேர்ந்து இருக்க முடியும்!

ஆடு புலியுடனும் சேராது,
ஆடு புல்லுடனும் சேராது.

இன்று புலியை ஏய்த்துவிட்டு .
ஆறு ஆடுகள் கவர்ந்து சென்றன
விலை மிகுந்த புல்லுக் கட்டை!

புலி = தங்கப் பட்டறை owner
ஆடு = தங்க ஆசாரிகள் / தட்டான்கள்
புல்லுக்கட்டு = 1500 கிராம் சொக்கத் தங்கம்!!!

இது எப்படி இருக்கு??? :rolleyes:
 
Having posted the next 28 poems in Vinayaka PuraaNam in my blog,

AND being an incorrigible optimist that I happen to be,

I was hoping to see a new spike in the number of views.

But people like presentations ONLY in small daily installments.

In case any of you want to read more than the others have read,

you are welcome to navigate to my blog! :)
 
My grand niece could not get the subject of her choice in the college of her choice

in spite of scoring 199 /200, 199/200, 198/200, 198/200 and an average of

97.5% in her plus 2 exams. In future may be ONLY those who score four or
more cent percents can enter a college!!! :faint:

All she sought was a seat in B. Com!!! :dizzy:
