My good friend who used to lock the doors from inside while going outside got looted during her prolonged visit to her elder son in UK.

And there were two watchmen on 12 hours duty each! :yawn:

Yet the thieves managed to enter the house unseen and unheard by the other neighbors, broke open every Godrej alamarah, sifted through the entire contents and had taken away whatever can be sold!

The police demanded money for registering the case - which they will never solve and even if they do, the stolen things will never be returned to the owners.

Being independent (free to quarrel and shout) may sound good but
being bound to one's house by an invisible iron chain is not good!

If one is attached to possessions home , one loses independance to travel.

One can barricade the home to extent possible and hope for the best.

best not to have anything very valuable at home which we cannot afford to lose.

no sense calling in the police in case of thefts.best write it off and move on.

I know a south indian lady who got so much attention from the policeman investigating the theft that she begged her husband to withdraw the theft case'

He would drop in after the husband left for office and gave her his undivided attention.poor lady could not handle the advances of delhi policeman.lol

Life in an apartment often becomes very difficult.

The territorial contest for Thanik kodi (for drying clothes) is eternal! :argue:

Keeping one's entire footwear collection in front of another flat happen

to people timid people who can't fight back!

To keep the windows open we need the permission of a person who lives in another

block but parks his car outside our bedroom - almost touching the walls.

As for the nocturnal activities and drama presented with

sound and light effects there is never any shortage.

WHY do we live here against all these odds?

Just for the sake of personal safety and security of the house and its contents

during our absence we have to compromise on many things all our lives!

The poor planning in construction of flats does not provide the luxury of privacy for flat owners.

There are always issues regarding hanging of washed clothes, parking,sharing corridor space for footwear , use of space beneath staircases , water seepage on

walls, leakage of power , water supply to flats on higher floors . The issues could be endless.

If one ends up with bad neighbours, life can be hell.

Loss of privacy is the worst of the issues faced in flats. Only way is keep a fair distance and transact very selectively.

Losing the priced possessions was bad enough.
The Good lady had the good sense to withdraw the case
before she may be forced to lose something more precious!
It is a pity a woman seem to get the undivided attention
from everyone except her husband and children!!!

Dear Mr. krish,
You have given the exhaustive list of problems ! :clap2:

The territorial spirit can be seen at it s BEST in the apartments.

So also the concept of "Might is Right!" and the louder voice speaks the truth.

Actually when we speak the truth there will be no NEED to raise the voice! :nono:

We bought a flat and soon the project was abandoned in the middle of it!

We lived like cattle in cowsheds ( with no drinking water supply and no

underground sewage) before some hard working people came

together to complete the project and improve the living conditions at our

own expenditure over a long period of 25 months!

Dear Renu,
Did the dog get attracted by the sari and come closer to you
or was it disapproving your wearing the sari? :noidea:
It is not advisable to run away from a dog - sari or no sari. :nono:
The impulse for anyone/ anything is to chase the person who chooses to run!
The dogs can leap and jump and run on all the four while we will be in the most unstable equilibrium-standing on two legs and in a vertical position.
Stare back into it eyes with eyes of steel and more often than not
the dog will get the message loud and clear! :hand:

Dear VR ji,

I did not want to stare back at a dog..instead I spoke politely to its by even addressing it as Doggie Ji but it kept coming towards me!LOL

I had been bitten by a dog once when I was 16 even though I did not run..so I was thinking there is risk of running and also risk of not running.

Staring back does not work all the time but I dont know why the dog was looking at me up and down many times.

May be it did not like a saree!LOL

Dear Renu,

Try wearing a baggy pyjama in a matching plain color, instead of the under skirt, while draping a saree.

But, if you wish to visit the rest room, make sure you wear the saree on an extra tape around the waist,

leaving the pyjama free!

But I wonder whether this idea will work for see-through sarees!

Dear RR ji,

A pyjama would give a see thru appearance.

 

[Raji Ram]

I wear my look-like-a-sari stitched dress and pass off

for an old mami wearing the madisaar very neatly !

I still wonder how 'that' dress is mistaken for a madisAr!

Do mAmis have poor vision? Just kidding!!

.... A pyjama would give a see thru appearance.

Dear Renu,

Let me share the experience of a front line female carnatic singer. She was about to give a concert in the U S of A

but while packing that evening's concert dress to be worn neatly in the green room, she forgot to take the underskirt!

So, she had to drape the saree over her pants!

May be it was very easy for her to walk fast, up to the stage!

May be they have too much imagination and too little good sight!

Two ladies went on to the discuss the cost of such saris stitched by tailors! :ear:

Hiii and Hellooo my dear s .VR Mam, R RMam, Dr Renu , Long time no see ,very happy to view all ( funny, teasing,comments. ).Hope all are fine, doing good. Lets Keep sharing our views, interesting and useful information.:grouphug: :clap2: :yo: eace: .

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Dear Cr. C.N, :yo:
You are able to make us feel and share your enthusiasm and cheer by your lovely smilies and plenty of them too. Yes! Long time... no see, but you are always in our thoughts! Occasionally I also see you online, though I may decide not to waste your precious time by inviting you to chat .

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

I am going to convert all my thick, long, broad, colorful sarees into those stitched dresses. In any case we don't have to preserve the sarees for our dear D.I.ls .
We can as well tear ( stitch) and wear them to our hearts content.
That will start happening the moment I finish typing the remaining dasakam of Naraayaneeyam! Yahoooooooooooo! (Hot male!!!!!!!!!!!) Googleeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Our family doctor who lost his wife last Wednesday has not yet
reconciled to the fact that she is really really gone for ever!

He kept saying it was so sudden and so unexpected.

Yes! That is why it is called as Heart Attack.

It attacks to take off the life of a dear one and
leaves the rest of the family shocked by
its sudden, swift and severe attack! :tsk:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

What happen when all the vehicles running in two opposite directions

want to make use of all the four lanes at the same time ???

I saw what will happen but I leave it your fertile imagination! :frusty:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

I started sweating during the long walks as I graduated from my snail speed to turtle speed over the past month.

(When and whether I will reach the rabbit speed is not yet clear!

So the long walk after the bath as been made as the walk before the bath.

That may make my life easier and simpler since I do to have to finish 50% of the cooking before walk and continue the other 50% after the walk!

 

[krish44]

Walk to cook and cook to walk?

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Walk to cook and cook to walk?

Cook (in order) to eat and walk (in order) to avoid knee surgery!

Who knows NArAyaNA the MahA vaidhya may play a miracle

in my case just as he did in the case of NArAyAnA Battathri,

by the time I complete posting NArAyaneeyam! :hail:

Nothing is impossible for God - if He decides to do it! :hail: :hail: :hail:

Hi Dr Narayani,

Long time no see..in fact I was just wondering a few days ago why I do not see you in forum.

Nice to see you.

Dear RR ji,

If a pyjama pants is worn under a saree..the saree wont fall well.

The saree will be "splitting" in the centre and it will look only like a pants..it wont have that grace of a saree cos there is no proper foundation to hold it in place.

 

[Raji Ram]

Dear Renu,

In 70s, it was men's fashion to wear 'bell bottom' pants. I mean that kind of pyjama which I stitch for myself, for special days!

And, the type of sarees I wear will co-operate well with that pyjama! I never wear chiffon / see-through sarees.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Men are supposed to be V shaped unless they have a pot belly (instead of a narrow waist!) in addition to the broad shoulders. Women just fall into two groups...
The apple shaped and the pear shaped.
Am I missing something popularly known as Ottraik kuchi shaped???
That makes a lot of difference in many factors and also in losing weight.
I can't miss the resemblance of a built-in-bell-bottom in the pear shaped body!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Some more interesting shapes and real people!
