Think or sink!

They were truly made for each other! :thumb:

He was a six footer, tall, slim and handsome in the style of the Hollywood heroes of the 1940s.

She was small, short, petite, with curly hair and beautiful in her own way.

They loved each other so much that they never minded not having a child to dote.

Her life ran around him as its axis and his whole life was she and nothing/ no one else.

When both of them became old together, she became his ears and he became her eyes. They complimented to each other's defects so smoothly that no one but the close family knew of this.

Small wonder she looked lovingly at his face for hours at a stretch before his body was taken away.

She flung her arms around his lifeless body hugging him and cried her heart out.

If he were not kept in the ice box, she might have spent the long lonely night with his head on her lap.

May be the ice box serves additional purposes in addition to delaying the decay.

I bet she finds her life completely empty now - with nothing to do and no one to care for or look after.

May God give her courage to pull through the crisis and find a new meaning for her remaining life.

She can never join the band of local mamis - who when liberated from duties - make up for the last years by becoming busy tourists and paint the city in every color other than red!

She has her pooja paat routine. I hope it will give her solace and strength and go on with her life. :pray:
 
It is good that ladies have some hobby (any art or craft)
in addition to their devoted pati seva.

Otherwise at one point of life they won't know what to do with themselves.

Some women enter the portal of social service but it needs a certain mental make up which can't be acquired by any one overnight!

 
Passing the parcel is an interesting game.

The initial slips which emerge, when the parcel is opened by the person (who holds it when the music stops) instructs him /her to do something like singing, dancing, doing mimicry, giving a speech etc.

So the parcel will be passed on swiftly - as it it were a real hot potato.

Passing the parcel not just a game. It happens in real life too when people want to evade or escape from their moral reponsiblities.

Only the parcel passed on here will be a real living human being - instead of an inanimate object with a number of crazy slips packed within. :(
 
Many people have overcome their physical challenges and have gone on to become world class celereities.
I shall present in my new thread named Sprits and Success about a few of them.
More will be added later on a weekly/ monthly basis. :pray2:
 
Two men were forced into conversion while travelling in a train - just to keep off boredom.

One of them Mr. A was a super intellient man with his own shows of Quiz to display his vast knowledge and depth of information.

The other man Mr. B was a regular man - may be more cunning than intelligent. They laid a bet.

If Mr. A was unable to answer the question asked by Mr. B,
he would have to part with 100 Rs.

If Mr. B was unable to answer the question asked by Mr. A.
he would have to part with a mere 10 Rs.

Mr. B put forward his first question to Mr. A which left Mr. A completely baffled.

He thought and thought but could not find the answer.

So he gave away Rs 100 to Mr. B.

Mr. B went to bed promptly without letting Mr. A ask him any questions.

Mr. A was unable to sleep and kept pondering over the strange Q put forward by Mr. B!

He finally went up to Mr. B and asked him if he knew the answer.

Mr.B grinned from ear to ear and returned Rs 10 to Mr. A as per their bet!
 
Moral of this story!

The most foolish man on earth can ask a question which
the wisest man on the earth may not be able to answer.

Added benefit:


The one who poses the question NEED not know the answer himself.
 
Words of wisdom say...

Barking dogs seldom bite.
Biting dogs seldom bark.
So Fear the silent dog!

BUT......

There is one animal moving on two legs
which can bark as well as it can bite.
 
Dear VR ji,

I will relate a funny incident that took place recently.

Ok ..I know a couple who do see me from time to time..they are very old and one of them has Alzheimer's.

I usually hardly charge them anything.

But many times when they see me outside they want to stop to talk to me saying Hi etc...but the problem is the one with the Alzheimer's forgets what she says within the next few seconds like Ghajini and then keeps on repeating the same questions over and over again to me.

So a couple of days ago as I was going to grab a magazine from a shop..I saw the couple nearby..so I thought"lets wait in another shop first..and let them walk away otherwise I would be stuck answering the same questions over and over again"

Then I saw them leave and they did not realize I was actually hiding from them!LOL

But as I entered the shop to get a magazine..suddenly the couple from out of nowhere came in to the shop too!

So there was no escape for me..I was stuck answering questions by a person who forgets what she asks me....but somehow she clearly remembers me..that alone she does not forget!LOL

After hiding in another shop waiting for them to walk away..yet I had to face them again.

A voice in my head told me "serves you right..trying to hide from the couple..its Kali Yuga..right away you got your dose and they came back into the shop!"
 
You said it Renu!

It boils down to the Q as to
who is the more determined of the two??? :rolleyes:
 
In today's world Linked in the most commonly used word. :ranger:

We get invitation from people who are total strangers
for getting Linkedin!:rolleyes:

What do we say when the train compatments
get delinked for a change!!! :fear:

Thank God it did not get derailed - even though
it has derailed today's plans and projects! :(
 
Night trains are becoming a :nono: for us for various reasons.

Day time travels waste one full day to cover a few hundred K.M!!! :(

May be one should fly instead, taking the risk of a :plane:

starlet being entertained in the cockpit by the pilots!:rolleyes:
 
Does anyone wonder whether Mahaa Bhaaratam was real or an imaginary story.
I for one, never doubted its being real. Just take a look around ourselves!
I bet there will be one person - away from the direct eyesight-
scheming and plotting someone's ruin or complete destruction.
He is made in the image of Sakuni the silent schemer.
His lieutenant or one who carries out the scheme is Duryodhana.
The one who tries to bring peace and protect the good people
is made in the image of Krishna Paramatma.
If he has an ardent supporter, he is made in the image of Arjuna.
The one speaks truth and gets beaten up according to the proverb
"Nekhi karo! Juthe khavo!!!" is made in the image of Yudhistra.
I am sure we can find other characters to fill in the places of the
other three brothers Bheema, Nakula and Sahadeva.
Mahaa Bhaaratam is very much likely to be seen in every joint family! :rolleyes:

A valuable lesson in life...
Our grand kids may look like mini editions of our kids.
But they will talk and behave differently since
they are only our grand kids and our own kids! :decision:
 
எளியவன் பெண்டாட்டி எல்லோருக்கும் மச்சினி! :mad2:

She is a punching ball when her husband is alive. :boxing:

She becomes a foot-ball once he is gone! :(
 
"Dear All!" is the greatest oxymoron I have heard or read. :rolleyes:

None of the people mentioned in the list qualify to be or become a 'dear'

and the 'All' means nothing more than a herd of lambs and sheep!!! :herd:
