When one watches the show "Looks who's talking with Niranjan"...one really cant help wondering if Niranjan Iyengar the host of the show is gay.


He talks with such a feminine flair and with soft hand gestures and facial expressions that seem more feminine than masculine.

The best part is he does not hide his feminine side.

I was looking up online to find out if he is gay or straight and came across many sites asking the same question.


Not that it really matters who is gay or straight but I admire Niranjan for hosting a real good show and not afraid of being himself even if its "gayish".

Worth watching his show and not to mention he is a talented script writer. May be gay men are more talented than straight men.

Is Niranjan Iyengar gay or straight?

Dear VR ji,

My mother always complains that I do not have sentimental value for anything!LOL

I think it is true..cos I do not have any sentimental value for things.


For example I totally dislike my mums collection of gold jewelery and my mum gets mad when I tell her I would not want to inherit it.

So she has given quite a lot of her jewels to my sister in law.

And she said she would keep some for my sons future wife and my mum said she hopes my son will marry a person who will have sentimental value!

I dont know why I dont have sentimental value for anything besides my collection of books!LOL

dear Renu,
With OLD gold ornaments you have this advantage.
You can excange them for the latest designs.
My guess is that unlike the average woman
who has craze for this yellow metal,
you don't care much about them.
Book have intellectual value.
I don't kow about their sentimental vaue
unless they belonged to someone very dear to you.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

People are born the way they are made by God.
We find masculine women and feminine men.
It is not done by them nor can they undo it.
It is best that we let them live their lives
as normally as is possible for them -
without putting them under the microscope.

#1682a
Don't stand on the right side of a sewing woman or on the left side of a crying woman.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

I know of one good samaritan here.
He is extremely considerate and very pious besides.
He has three children and one ma-in-law living with them.
He takes all the six members of the family (Including his wife)
to the church and then they eat out .
So the servant gets a day off.
The wife gets a day off and
the kids can enjoy eating out once a week.
That makes a happy family since everybody is very happy.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

In most houses the wife will be made extra chores on Sundays.

There was a time when Monday Migraine became my tragedy & malady.

Sundays would be so hectic that I end up extremely exhausted.

Those were the days when I was not aware of the fact that

I CAN refuse to a thing and still belong to the family!

#1682a
Don't stand on the right side of a sewing woman or on the left side of a crying woman.

I am sure the men will do exactly
the same way as these women do-
UNLESS of course they are left handed!

Modern wisdom: eep:

[Visalakshi Ramani]

In olden days very few saris would be owned by ladies.
They were housewives mostly.
So need to possess one sari for everyday of the year.
Moeny was hard to come by and
new clothes were bought only for Deepaavali.
When I had deliveredbmy first son and stayed with
my in laws before returning to my home.
I was instructed to present a sari each
for the servant and the washer woman.
I had only four saris with me at that time
and all were newly purchased by my parents.
I did not know that I can disobey silenly
or refuse verbally and so parted with two new saris.
I was made fun of for givign away the new saris
by the same people who told me to give the saris.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

dont stand within 5 km radius of a drunk man.

But how to see him from a distance of 5 K.M ???

and understand a new concept
Self-Sentimental!!!

I liked the ad in which a smart boy would be celebrating his success in the running race by winning a second prize. :second:

The excited mother would be making gulab jamoons and the boy stuffing them inside his mouth.

The festive spirit would last until the father asks "How many people ran in the race?" and the boy says the blunt truth "Two!" and takes off like a deer.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Something similar is happening here now.
One person wants the Muthal mariyaathai in the temple! :first:

The first name in the archanai, the first one to have the karpoora haarathi, the first one to receive the prasadam, the equivalent of parivattam on the special pooja days.

That person has got his/ her wish fulfilled!

He/ she is the only one going to the temple now.

But somehow now the muthal mariyaathai fancy seems to have died out. out:

What is the the fun in being the :first:

when you are the only one there???

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

I was clean bowled when some persons who had studied

in the college as me and younger to me by ~20 years

DO NOT remember the year of their graduation! :loco:

What will they remember of the stuff they had learned there??? :shocked:

The desk top keyboard has long since become
a hammer-hit from a feather-touch.

Half the letters don't get typed for my feather-touch.

Thr laptop on the hand prodeces aaaaaaaaaaannnnnyyyyyyyyyy
number of alphabets once we get used to this hammer-hit-typing.

But it is the jerky desktop that gets connected to the Internet
while the smooth laptop coolly says "Server not found!"

HOW can this happen when both are connected to the same modem???
