Very true!
If we have no money we are bankrupt. If we have more money we will not want to spend it. We will want to accumuate more and more.
So 10 Bucks is just right . Neither a bankrupt person nor a hoarder.
The most comfortable dress is the a/c dress
(kaili for men and nightie for women).
Five stars hotles charge you like kandu vattik kaaran
but the food they give may not descend below the throat.
I remener the reception we attended in a 5 star hotel and
I had to come home and whip up something fast to
keep silent the mice running around in my tummy.
Long drive means lots of petrol. Not a wise decision.
Simple things a give greater peasure.Once we realize this
we will never plan on anything very big and expensive.
Our great spiritual masters like Adi Sankaracharia declare that running after worldly things and pleasures has no end as there are 3 doshas ( limitations )associated with that.They are 1) Pain of acquisition,Pain of preservation,Pain of loss 2) Pain of bondage and finally 3) Lack of satisfaction.It is wise to be satisfied with minimum necessities and shun "aparigraha" greed and avarice.

Life has become very difficult since 10th April.
The public exms are over.So previously it used to be
cricket after the classes/ exams till night fall.
Now it is dawn to night non stop game in this hot sun, in the small gully, with all the scooters and cars parked on Sundays and with occasional breaking of glass windows now and then.
How I wish that either we get away for summar from this hellish hot hole or everyone else does!

Yogam = acquiring wealth etc.
Kshemam = keeping them safe in your custody.
Everybody seems to be after your money for some reason or the other. (My younger said once these words when flooded with mails seeking liberal donations)
Too much wealth brings down the ruin like the bees getting killed for gathering and storing too much honey.
As Vamana says to king Maha Bali, " He who is not satified with the gift of three paces of land will not be satified by the gift of the three worlds either"
Pothum endra maname pon seyyum marunthu.

In ancient India a pundit was well versed in eighteen different languages.
"pathinettu baashaiyum padiththavan paNdithan."
Every learned man knew Sanskrit. All the Tamil poets were equally proficient in Sanskrit.
In fact the two languages were like their two eyes.
Which means that now most of us are blind in one eye!

There is story of a pundit who spoke all the eighteen languges so well that no one could find put what was his mother tongue.
It was left to the task of the court jester - who can pull off any trick withput getting behaded by the angered king.
When the pundit was asleep the court jester poured ice cold water on him.
The pundit woke up with a start from his beauty sleep and yelped in his mother tongue for this beastly treatment.
Whether it was "Enda Amme!" Or "Naa thalli!" does not matter here.
The point is that he shouted in his mother tongue - since it is the one which comes to us first - unless of course we specialise in cursing in foreign languges.

"KuppuRa vizhunthaalum meesaiyil maN ottavillai."
Rahul Gandhi "eppa varaNamo appo varuvaaraam!" :roleyes:
"eppo pOgak koodaathO appap pOnaarE!" :bolt:
It was claimed That party operates on Democratic lines
and is not depending on any ONE particular person.
The joke of the millinneium if you ask me.
"any one particular person" can be safely corrected to "one particular person."
No need to to tell the name - since eveyone already knows it.

During my twilight zone yesterday (when I am neither asleep nor awake) I was wondering whether I was spending/ wasting too much time in this thread.
I got the answer today. Thank you for the number of views in four figures on 12th April. Usually Sundays are dull days with neither postings and nor viewings.
So this came as a pleasant surprize for me and I got the answer as to whether I was wasting my time or spending my time usefully in this thread.

I have got one more fresh commitment to fulfill now. One thatha gave me the Naaraayaneeyam book with word by word meaning.
Another thatha is demanding that I post the complete Naaraayaneyam and not just the story of Krishna.
So it will be back to Naaraayaneeyam one more time . But this time it will be complete with the Sanskrit slokams meaning of all the dasakams 1 to 100.
I hope to able to launch it in the Literature section on 18th inst. I will be posting one or two slokas depending on how many I can type during a day.
The name of that thatha is Lakshmi Narayanan. I can't refuse to listen to both Lakshmi and Naaraayanan present in one thatha. Right???

The word vedhavaa is the most coomonly used Telugu word to scold useless fellows.
By extention it means that the widows (vidhavaigal) are also useless. BUT believe me they are the most useful persons in the society.
Any emergency, any physical help needed by any one in the family - these strong minded ladies come to our memory.
They never refuse to help the needy for various resons.
1. They want to be useful.
2. They are free to move about.
3. They don't need anybody's permission to go and help.
4. Mostly they are independent with enough income/ pension.
Never ever call such service-minded ladies as vidhavaas!
They are more useful than the so called puNya sthrees - who serve only their Pati Parameshwar.
