from # 16349 by Dr. Renu

1. But when it comes to chasing girls all these North South divide wont be there.

2. I remember in college engineering guys from North were chasing any girl who looked beautiful..they did not bother if she was a South or North Indian but South guys usually chased only South girls and seldom ventured out of known territory.

1. All is fair in love and war - more so if the men involved are also fair and rich!

2. It might be due to ignorance in the North Indian Languages starting with Hindi!

Mamas can retire (without getting tired) and belong to the R.K.D. :hungry:

But mamis can never ever retire and have to

belong to the R.C.D as long as they live! :ohwell:

Foot notes to those who need it: :rolleyes:

Dear VR ji,

For the past few days I have been getting a rotting smell in my house porch where my old car is parked..today the smell was too strong and I noticed flies on my car bonnet...so I opened it thinking some dead rat might be stuck in the car..but when I opened it I saw nothing but then I saw below the car and there was a dead cat!

It was decomposed and I think it died of old age. Its the neighbours cat and it chose to die in my house.

I had to reverse the old car and then cover up the cats body with some black plastic bag but it made me nauseated..I could not eat much today..strange..I have handled decomposed human bodies with ease but a cat's body made me uneasy.

I called one known grass cutter to come to my house later to remove the cat.

Last week one of my friend said he found a dead rat in his old seldom used car near the engine.

So I was only expecting a rat but not a cat dead below my car.

The cat was quite decomposed and body was bulging.
 
Dear Renu,
It is really sickening that your neighbor's cat decided to give up its ghost in your house and under your car!

Usually cats bring in things at night as surprise gifts for the people in the neighborhood. This cat made itself a surprise gift I suppose!

My husband would not remove a dead cockroach in our flat. But he had to do the funeral service for a dead bandicoot brought in by a cat and left in front of the main door in his ancestral home.

Ancestors still have more power than people who are still alive and ticking!

Once I saw a dead dog bulging to the bursting point in a place where I was supposed to get down from the scooter. I positively refused and got down from the scooter only a few feet ahead of the bloated dog.

It was a big surprise to me that he neither saw the dog swollen so big nor smelt the sickening rotting smell :yuck:
 
When no program can be seen in the T. V what would anyone do?

I for one, would check up the connections and the power point.

I would check with a neighbor whether they get any channels on T.V.

I will speak to the service provider regarding the problem.

But what would the great great grandson of the Thayir UNatthiya Raman do?

He would call the service provider and blast him/ her on the phone for half an hour!

Then he will verify with a neighbor. Then he will check up the connection to find

that the cable connecion had not been plugged in!

When the service provider appears to check up, he would conveniently make

himself "unavailable" by doing the disappearing act - leaving someone else to

manage the situation!
 
S.K.P was a word I often heard as a child - by which some people were referred to.

It was the short form for Suya kaariyap puli (which 99% of the people are! ) :(

Later I started using it along with another expansion as 'Escapee!' :bolt:

Reminds one of Vivek's famous "Escaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaape!" right??? :rolleyes:
 
The eternal newspaper reading and the soap opera watching are

NOTHING but Escapism from duty / reality!!!

111. Escapism


Escapism is the mental diversion from the daily stresses and strains, using entertainments and recreations. It includes all the actions done by us to fight depression, loneliness and sadness.

Several industries have popped up, helping people relax and relieve their tension. The most important forms of entertainment as escapism are fiction, literature, music, sports, television, internet and video games.

Even normal daily activities like eating and sleeping become means of escapism when indulged in excess. Karl Marx wrote that Religion is the opium of the people. Even religion, drugs, drinks, pornography are various means of escapism.

Some people are of the opinion that the very idea of escapism is fundamentally and exclusively negative. Escapists are branded as unhappy people who are unable to connect with reality, meaningfully.

There are many safe and acceptable forms of escapism as entertainments. An entertainment is an event, a performance, an activity designed to give pleasure to the audience. The various popular entertainments are games, amusement parks, cartoons, comics, dances, drama, gambling, museums, music, magic shows, night life, pets, tourism, toys and variety entertainment.

It is amazing how much of our time is spent in pursuit of entertainment and escapism. Some people seem to have all the free time in the world and they are determined to spend it watching “the idiot box” dawn to dusk! Eventually they themselves become “couch potatoes”.

Remember the golden rule; anything in excess is not good for you.

Dear VR Ji,

I was thinking that the reason I felt nauseous is becos that cat was not mine.

I have handled a dead monkey before when I stayed in a house that was surrounded by a jungle and that monkey that died becos of gun shot injury was very close to us ..it used to come to our house daily and hang around till late evening..it used to even sit in the kitchen and watch my mum cook.

So when it died becos it got shot dead by a trigger friendly neighbour who happened to be the head of police of the town we were very upset and I cried a lot ..I was only 16 then.

We all touched the body before its final journey ended with a cremation.

We applied Vibuthi to its body and my dad poured milk over its body before cremating it at our house...the cremation was attended by all other monkeys and they circled and watch the burning not even afraid of fire.

Monkeys grief like humans.


So I guess when a pet is not ours we feel less for it and find its decomposing body nauseating.

So finally in this world its all about Mamaiva.
 
Very true Renu!
With all said and done what belongs to us definitely makes a difference from what does not belong to us. :decision:
It is good in one way . Otherwise people will imagine that everything belong to everyone and start using them indiscriminately without feeling any guilt! :evil:
 
The GOD and The DOG are spelled exactly in two opposite directions.

They are opposite to each other in many more ways.

GOD is the highest respected supreme force and

the word DOG denotes the meanest of creatures.

A dog will not be tolerated but for its loyalty!

Coming to my point of view, the yoga saadhana called Oordhvarethas

teaches a man how not to spill his sperms but send them upwards.

By practicing this sadhana a man can see Siva and even become one with him.

By over indulgence - with or without the aid of the popular blue pills-

and by sending the sperms down and spending it all his life,

a lustful man becomes worse than a dog.

Thirumanthiram deals with Ooorthvarethas in great detail.

I wonder why a similar saadhana is not specified for women.

May be we can see and become one with god without any severe saadhana ! :)

Dear VR ji,

I think I have an explanation for this.

Firstly we have the observe conception.

In order for conception to take place..the sperms need to swim upwards in the female reproductive tract to unite with the ovum.

Then the fertilized ovum comes down tru the tubes to be implanted in the uterus.

From this we can make out roughly that the direction of "male energy" needs to flow upwards in order to procreate and the direction of "female energy" needs to flow downwards for procreation.

A male and female therefore have different directions for their respective energy...hence Urdhava Retas for men..cos by sperms just flowing upwards one creates life..so one can imagine if energy for a male is made to flow upwards? It would be tremendous activation of energy.

Now coming to a female..since a female's energy is supposedly flowing downwards..I can only think of menstruation as a "sadhana" for a female.

So may be a female spends her reproductive life menstruating therefore there is no need for any vigorous sadhana like males.

Males still retain sperm production even till old age..where else a female attains menopause.

So males have to keep on doing Sadhana but we females can view menopause as a completion of our "sadhana".

Dear Renu,
A very very logical and acceptable explanation! :clap2:
Surviving through the fertility period ( with the nagging monthly problems and without the extra long, extra strong, extra wide, winged protections as we oldies did ) and the pregnancy (+ child birth + laalan + paalan + doodh peelan ) may be we need to do no more spiritual saadhana.
Thank God that once we reach the menopause we are spiritually and physically clean and dear to God himself!
Do I see the hot-males squirming with glowing green eyes???:rolleyes:

 
The goose that laid golden eggs!
We are taught morals of life through such simple stories but most people fail to apply these in their real life.
The laddu-malli-walah was selling 50 grams for Jasmin 5 Rs a few years ago.
Then it became Rs 8 and now it settled down at Rs 10 per 50 grams.
Then the vendor tried to sell it for 15 Rs. Still we continued to but paying through the nose.
Imagine my shock when my husband went to the flower market on the very same dy to find that 250 grams Jasmin cost a mere 30 Rs, while we were paying the same amount for just 100 grams.
Net result.... we buy the flowers from the market on a weekly basis and there is so much of flowers in the house that I offer the stringed flowers to all female visitors.
The vendor keeps shouting "laddu mulllai!laddu mullai!" till he turns hoarse and he still does not know that it was his greed that has struck him!
P.S.
Even by keeping a margin of 4 Rs per 50 grams, the vendor will make a neat profit of 80 Rs per K.G.! When more people buy and he will get more money.

But sadly he decided to kill the golden geese instead of collecting their eggs.

Mysterious or Mystifying? :decision:

When my second son and his wife performed Sita Rama kalyanam in the local temple, they were given a dhothi set and a sari as the swami prasaadam.

The sari is chilli red with a broad parrot green border with artificial zari all over
( popularly known as vaira oosi sari)

My D.I.L gave it to me since she seldom wears a sari. The sari makes me run mild temperature every time I wear it. This is the fifth time I wore it - even without associating it with any health problem.

Yesterday I wore it and my throat went sore by yesterday evening and the mild temperature followed today morning.

Is it because the sari looks very lovely and someone always makes a very favorable comment about it and perhaps cast an evil dhrusti also?:noidea:

Or are we supposed to keep the sari safe in the wardrobe for good luck and not wear it just like any other sari??? :noidea:

Dear VR ji,

So we can now proclaim that menstruation is not impure but a Sadhana for a female and who knows the real reason females were isolated from others in the past is not becos of impurity but to let a woman be alone during her Sadhana.

Becos technically menses can NOT be impure becos the blood that comes down is the breakdown of lining of the uterus that was building up to receive a potential fetus..so how can the bed for the fetus be impure?

So we females can rejoice when we have menses...its a state of pure Sadhana and we need to be alone and not mingle with others who might render our Sadhana "impure".

Dear VR ji,

Send the saree for a proper dry cleaning.

Sometimes certain fabrics when not worn often can have a type of fine almost invisible mold that can cause fever/sorethroats/respiratory and sinus symptoms when worn.

Bravo Renu! :clap2:

So women do saadhana either way - both when they conceive and grow baby inside them and also when they don't conceive and shed off the unwanted lining /bed for the potential fetus - which did not get formed.

Saadhana need not mean going to the forest or to a secluded area or standing in neck deep water or one leg with both hand lifted up to a namaskaar pose over the head or sitting in between five fires (including the burning Sun in the sky)

Anything done with unwavering devotion and dedication is a saadhana. I admire the mother of the 15 year old girl affected by Cerebral Palsy.

She devotes her entire life in taking care of the helpless child. The wonderful thing is she never complains about her lot nor frowns nor grumbles.

She would not even think of second child since she won't be able to give her 100% attention to this girl. The husband is always touring and she does every household chore by herself.

I bet God gives such special children to such special parents. Her life is also a saadhana or a tapasya where her personal comforts are pushed to the back seat and the duty takes the front seat.

I am also reminded of the very touching movie Anjali!

Dear Renu,
Everyone to whom I spoke about this (including my servant who belongs to another religion) says that it is effect of Evil Dhrusti and nothing else. If it is mold formation it may also happen with some other saris. But only this sari has made me sick five times over the past five years - ever since I got the sari.

Sounds strange but it is true!

When I did the magical chanting for removing then evil dhrushti for my grand kids with four long red chilies and a handful of salt and burned them in fire, no pungent smell came out of it! Otherwise the simple seasoning of food will make everyone in the house start sneezing.
