கோழித் தூக்கம் என்பது என்ன?

கோழிக் கொடியோனின் பெயர் கொண்ட குமரனை
கோழி கூவும் முன்னரே அவன் வீட்டில் எழுப்பி விட்டு

ஆவின் பால் விற்கும் அற்புதமான ஜோலிக்கு அனுப்பினால்
கோழிக் கொடியோன் பெயர் உடைய அந்தக் கோபித்த குமரன்

கோழி போலத் தலையைத் தொங்க விட்டுக் கொண்டு
அந்த நாள் முழுவதும் செய்து கொண்டு இருப்பது!!
 
L. A need not necessarily mean Los Angeles all the time.
It may also mean the sanctuary (L A) which extends warm hospitality
to the lunatics - not yet rounded up to be safely put in
straight jackets and padded cells. :)
 
The A, B, C, D of my eye surgery!

cleardot.gif

A...Anaesthesia

That which I resisted successfully for the third time - when administered in normal doses and normal methods.
( A true hat-trick!) :hat:

B...Blood test

That which includes everything - even screening for HIV(!!!) for a cataract surgery in the eye. :shocked:

C...Circus

The art of getting into the taxi (parked at right angles to the ramp with a steep 45 degree inclination) without tumbling in to the lap of the nit wit driver or getting a foot squashed by the heavy swinging door. :juggle:

The man who was supposed to hold the door open for me???
He had settled in the back seat - charging in like a lion who had spotted a spotted deer. :rolleyes:

D...Deathly pallor

That which was invariably seen on the faces of all the uneducted ladies who feared a needle in their eye ball and looked paler than a whilte bedsheet. :scared:

This I have to agree.

I dont know if its related to education or not but I have noted that women from the rural areas fear injections the most!
Taking their blood or giving them an injection can be dangerous too.
I once had a woman from rural India visiting here who needed an injection and she was so fearful that she took the injection from my hand and flung it!
Thank God it did not injure anyone else in the room.

Then they scream the roof down for nothing at all and turn pale and sometimes faint out of fright.

I wonder why their pain tolerance is so low? Fear of pain or just plain attention seekers cos they will be clinging on to their husbands and crying.Rural men tend to put up with lots of crying nonsense from their wives.

So now I send the husband out of the room and these women immediately behave!LOL

Its strange that rural simple folk always need so much emotional support and the rest of us can even function at any situation sans any support.

யார் சிறந்தவர்?




கரிய இருட்டில் பறக்கும் மின்மினி,
கர்வத்துடன் கூறியது,” என்னைப் போல
உலகுக்கு, ஒளி கொடுப்பவர் யாருள்ளார்?
உலகம் என்ன ஆகும் நான் இல்லாவிடில்?”

விண்ணில் தோன்றிய தாரகைகள்,
விழுந்து விழுந்து நகைக்கலாயின;
“எங்கள் ஒளியின் முன் நீ நிச்சயம்
மங்கி நிற்பாய்! ஏன் வீண் பெருமை?”

இப்போது நகைத்தது வானத்து நிலா;
“இங்கே நான் வந்தபின்னர் உங்களை
எங்கே எங்கே எனத் தேட வேண்டும்!
என்று தான் உணர்வீர் உண்மையினை?”

உதித்தான் செங்கதிரவன் கீழ் வானத்தில்,
மிதித்தான் நிலவின் மங்கிய ஒளியினை,
பெருமைகள் பேசிய மின்மினி, தாரகை,
போன இடம் எதுவோ தெரியவில்லை!

உள்ளது என்னிடம் இளமையும், செல்வமும்,
அழகும் என்று அலட்டிக்கொள்ள வேண்டாம்!
உள்ளார் உலகில் பலர், உன்னைவிடவும்
அழகு, இளமை, செல்வம் அதிகம் உள்ளவர்!

வாழ்க வளமுடன்,
விசாலாக்ஷி ரமணி


 
The E, F, G, H of my eye surgery!

E...E.C.G
That which I got through successfully - without making the pointer jump like a regular jerk, thereby making the graph unaccceptable, as was my custom.
(A truly Magnetic personality???)

I was told once that I had two hearts in the place of one heart. The cardiologist was so convinced and convincing that I had to rush to a reputed institution to make that I had just one heart like everyone else - though larger than the normal size.
After all 'Visala' need not qualify ONLY my eyes!!! Right??? :rolleyes:


F...Fasting
That which is inevitable unless we go to the clinic well prepared with backups like biscuits and cool / hot drinks.
When we went for the operation of the first eye, my stomach managed to digest itself and both the intestines as well after digesting the light B/F (between 7 -30 A.M and 3- 30 P.M).
We carried some grub when we went for the operation of the second eye. Wise after the event- as usual! :rolleyes:


G ...Greed
That which is universally present in the eyes of every driver of every auto and taxi. The autowalah demands 150% of the meter fare where as the taxiwalah wants the amount rounded up to the next higher multple of 100! (Daylight robbery without wearing masks)


H...Haircut
That which was done to my eyelashes as the first thing in the clinic. My lovelly long curly lashes were trimmed down mercilessly. :(
This honor was not given to the others since they hardly had any lashes.
The already 'Muttaik kaNgaL' have now become 'mottaik kaNgaL' as well! :shocked:
"How can I go out with my eyes resembling a pair of shaved eggs?"
"Wear the goggles!" was the instantaneous Eureka answer. :cool:
 
A novel way of creating interest in the modern youngsters
in the arts and the celebrities in literature of the past! :clap2:

A Poem can be as long and boring or as short and cute
as the author wishes it to be.
I had once written a long poem of 100 lines.
Till today I have not been able to remove even one word
without losing its meaning and importance.
So it was destined to be a long poem.
I like the shortest and cutest poem which just came out of me
today as I watched my two grand kids fighting for the same toy.
Varun is one of the two and Juju is the other.
Varun is extremely soft, gentle and shy.
He too knows that and says quite often
"I am a shy guy" with a mesmerizing smile.

I asked him,

Oh MY!
Shy Guy!
Why cry
"I" , "My"?

His age is just 3 years now and so he may not understand
the meaning of this poem in a capsule form.
How many of us understand the spiritual significance of
this short poem composed of just 8 mono syllable words???

The I, J, K, L of my eye surgery!

I...I Site

The most expensive capsule for better eye sight - which we have to buy for minimum 3 months with the cost running close to 2K!


J...Joy

The joy of seeing well defined features and photos - without having to reach for the spectacles - even in the dim light of the night lamp.


K...Knife

That which has become a thing of the past thankfully! :hail:


L...Lens

The thinness of the lens depends on the thickness of the purse. The thickness of the lens depends on the personal requirement of the man/ woman who has got operated.

A word of warning:
The costlier lens is not necessarily the better lens!

Rhythm and Rhyme.

The root of a poem is its rhyme,
As sweet as a silver bell’s chime!

Now it looks like a very bad time,
Since poems are not worth a dime!

Is it because of a different clime?
But poem without rhyme is a crime!

It burns our inside like caustic lime;
It feels as ugly as the sticking grime!

Words with neither rhythm nor rhyme,
May pass for poems, but are mime!

It may take us a very longtime,
To read good poetry in our lifetime!

https://veenaavisal.wordpress.com/naughty-poems/027-rhyme-and-rhythm/

P.S.

1. Ippothaikku appothe solli vaiththen! :rolleyes:

2. If a pem without rhyme is a crime
what is that thing called which has
neither rhyme nor reason??? :wacko:

3. Compare the word 'prattle' and பிதற்றல் :kev:
They mean the same and sound so very similar! :clap2:
​
 
Now let us move on to some serious business!

Here is the longest poem I have written till today.

It is auto biographical in nature. I can't afford a bio-pic! :)

One of the readers has called it as intriguing.

Welcome to read the poem as well the comments

given below the poem here.

https://visalakshiramani.wordpress.com/a prayer/

Those who have already read it or do not want to read it

may jump over it like the cow which jumped over the moon!

The M, N, O, P of my eye surgery!

M...Masked angels in a luminous heaven!

The pretty young doctor and her numerous assistants, clad in snow white clothes, in the operation theater.


N...Noise from the outer space?

The weird noise made by the gadgets during the surgery, resembling the eerie sound from outer space.


O...Operation theater

A brilliant and luminous heaven - without the smoke and clouds we assume to go with it.
It is so brilliantly lit that we are blinded by the light since both the irises are dilated.
One or more of the gentle angels dressed in white help us to get to the operation table and than out of the room after the surgery is over.

P...Purse

That which decides the level of comfort in everthing and everywhere
whether the room allotted is A.C or the non A.C - to say the least.
Those who opt for the laser surgery will have to shell nearly thrice the amount the others do.
But they feel happy when they get a spot in the notice board to exhibit their photographs with their autograph under their note of thanks / appreciation.

When we do not feel hungry the way we normally do,
it has to cause serious concern more than joy -
at least for people who are diabetics and on medicines.

Recently my routine was altered so much that one of the medicines got trailed off into zero. I was happy that the nagging hunger did not bother me any more.

But I should have guessed that it was merely because my blood sugar
was on the higher side and hence my body was not feeling hungry.

Once hooked on to the long list of medicines there is no escape.
Everything comes to us with a life time contract!
