Expectations are there to be met. No sense in detachments . Prefer getting involved more hoping next time it would be better than earlier experience. ever an optimist.

Unless one has zest for living , it will be earlier death.One has to be pro active and reach out to many one cares for . if some if not all reciprocate , then we will

become happier for which we crave.One can relate to anyone not necessariy blood relations.

As one physically ages , we may not appreciate the same things , but one can replace them with what one enjoys.The company one keeps also changes , some remain

though evergreen. Of course we get kick out of somethings and also get kicked many times . Thats what makes life worth living......

Its not about being detached but just a preference to be left alone instead of having to much action around.

For example recently my neighbor told me that she just had a 11th grandchild!

I was thinking "OMG..next Eid I am surely going to close my house and run away for a few days cos as it is during Eid her house is too noisy cos of the noise her grankids make..they even play outside till beyond midnight and the babies never stop crying..this goes on for days in a row..and now there is a No 11! So I really need to ESCAPE"!


So you see..some children can be major source of noise pollution especially during festivals..that is why partly I dislike any festival.

Adults too can be noisy..I seem to prefer a quiet atmosphere these days.

The only way to have a quiet atmosphere is to not mingle too much.

So its not about detachment..it about having a low threshold for noise!LOL

I havent be answering any phone calls from some relatives cos I dont want to talk to them cos they would be asking me all about Diwali..what did you do blah blah blah!LOL

If they ever ask me why I did not answer the phone I will say "you called?"

That way..its not lying..cos a question is not an answer..so a question can never be a lie on technical grounds.

As long as one is made to feel young, it gives extra energy to live life.

But that does not mean one should cater to the person who makes you feel young.


He is only an agent who can also be knocked down when one is energised

Feeling young in heart helps one to remain receptive for knowledge as the young children are. It makes one to wish to learn new things and gain new knowledge - irrespective of one's biological age. :thumb:

The energy imparted by the ' aged-agent ' is JUST enough to do the robot style household chores and NOT enough to KNOCK him down!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

They DO exist! :couch2:

You have to visit some sweet homes where a loving d i l / daughter takes care of the senior lady of that house!

I know three such ladies whom you too know, dear Sis! Guess who! :spy:

I know one rolly-polly-ugly-aunty!
Who are the other two??? :noidea:
We have two chivalrous men living here.
One cleans the front of the door step with a broom.
I am not sure whether he draws the kolam as well.
He does umpteen other jobs including starting the scooter for his wife.
He is a house-husband and she is a working wife. (Understandable! )
The other case is about a house wife and a working husband.
He gets up early makes coffee and sets on the cooker.
Then he wakes up his wife, his daughter and his son in that order.
Truly some women are "Given and Kept",
( = koduthu vaiththavargal = my father's often used expression )
In my house the steaming hot coffee must be on the table
in less than five minutes after the milk packets are delivered.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

All the retired ladies (even from the age of 55) enjoy life to the fullest, without doing any household chores!! :dance:

One has to visit the senior resorts to meet them. Oh, yeah! VR and I have a friend mAmi in VAnaprasthA, Coimbatore!!

The three seniors I mentioned earlier live in their OWN sweet homes!

And they use up all the energy saved by not doing any work
in talking non stop all day long! :blah:
Talking needs more energy than even singing.
I never get exhausted singing in full throat for 90 minutes non stop
but I can't talk for 90 seconds to people non-receptive in more than one way!
They seem to neither hear nor listen nor care about what is being conveyed!

Dear Renu,
So a lie is only a statement and never a question!
It opens up new and very interesting possibilities.
Let me think about it. :decision:
I like to ask questions.
Can make use of it for you-know-what?
Utmost I may utter a white lie and that too
for the sake of some peace and quiet! :lie:

What will happen if the coffee is delayed for more than 5 minutes???
The people will become hotter than the steaming hot coffee
and the charm of sipping the hot coffee will be totally lost!
After all heat in the coffee is one of its six basic virtues viz
niRam, maNam, guNam, thidam, suvai, choodu! :tea:

Dear Renu,

Dear VR ji,

I dare not tell even a white lie..not becos I am good but becos whatever I lie becomes the truth finally.

Sometime back 2 years back I did not want to attend a relatives get together cos I do not like crowd..so I had to think of an excuse..so I lied..I said I have a back pain.

The next day I slipped and fell outside my bathroom and had a terrible fall and fainted for a split second and landed on my back and I had such intense pain at my lower back that I thought I could have fractured my hips!

Thank God I did not fracture anything but I had a back pain that lasted me 1 week.

Then once at work I was very tired and feeling unwell and then a pregnant person wanted to do an ultrasound to determine the gender of the the fetus(here its legal to tell gender cos no one does abortions for female fetus)...
since I was unwell I told the person to come back in a few days time cos my ultrasound needs to be serviced and cant be used at present.

Since knowing gender is not a medical emergency so I felt the lie is Ok.

Then the next day my ultrasound started to malfunction!

Too many situations have happened that when I lie it becomes the truth eventually...so I have no choice..cant lie anymore.

To escape any situation now I have to ask questions and not make statements!LOL

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Dear Renu,
Some people have this power that what they say becomes true.
You must be one of them. So one small request to you dear!
Always say and wish for auspicious and nice things for everyone!

No more of the brain raking
During the morning walking
Thinking up new, interesting
Things for that day's sharing!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

A honest and genuine doubt!!!

அன்றைய நரகம் தான்
இன்றைய நகரம் ஆனதோ ?

(சென்னை நகரம் நீரில் மிதக்கிறது - ஒரு செய்தி)

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Water Water everywhere but no water to drink! :frusty:

What Chennai needs is neither bus nor car but boats and ships!!! :fish2:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

No more of the brain raking
During the morning walking
Thinking up new, interesting
Things for that day's sharing!

Talk less...Walk more!!!

Walking gives me more mental peace;
Since there is no more mental race.

I can just keep my own peace.
I can just walk at my own pace.

The chanting does the mind activate,
The deep breathing does the brain!

Cheerful greeting elevates the spirit
The day begins with the right spirit.

Talk less to make people listen more!
Walk more to make people talk less!

A beggar won one crore rupees in a lottery.

Can you guess what he did with the money?

He got a begging bowl made in solid gold with shining

navaratnas studded in it and continued to go for begging!

(This happened years ago and so his bowl did not get stolen!)

He could not think of doing anything either with the money

or with himself or leave his family profession(!?)

Moral:

A beggar will never stop begging irrespective of a windfall.

Corollary:

A barber will never stop giving haircuts even if

he is millionaire and can afford to own a Rolls Royce! :car:

The man who irons the clothes and makes a living, sat on the floor and had to bend and press the clothes all day long.

A rich man took pity on him and presented him with a table so that he can press
the clothes more easily, standing on two legs or even one leg like a crane.

The next day the donor of the table was shocked to see that the man was sitting
ON the table and doing the ironing as usual, bending over the clothes.

Man resists any change...even one which will improve the quality of his life!:hand:

Riddle for the day!

Here are the three clues!

1. She goes to church every Sunday.

2.Her name sounds very musical.

3. It is a combination of my initials

and rhymes well with Harmonica.

What is her sweet name??? :ear:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

No power supply!
So cell phone usage is out of question!

No dry place to step on.
So no walking to the landline EVEN if it works!

No milk and no way of preserving the left over milk.
No vegetable..no clean water... no peace... no sleep!

AND YET everybody wants to settle down in Chennai!
WHY? WHY?? WHY???

Hi VR ji

Nobody can really eat / drink boiling hot stuff anyway!
It will scald the inside of the mouth and kill the taste buds too.
Small wonder the ingredients appear to remain mysterious!
Some like it hot! Some like it cold!
It is a personal preference I suppose.
