Dear VR ji,

Yesterday I met 4 dogs who understood English.

Ok here goes...I had gone out to get something and when I came back to my workplace it had started raining heavily and 4 street dogs were sitting on the five foot way right in front of my clinic main entrance blocking the main entrance.

I could not enter and also dare not enter cos I did not want to startle 4 lying down dogs.

But I had to get into my clinic..so I did this..I spoke to all of the dogs in English saying "excuse me sirs..I can understand its raining heavily and you are seeking shelter by lying down here..but could you please just move a little so that the entrance is not blocked and I can enter and also patients can enter"

Some people were looking at me why I was talking to these dogs but within a few seconds all four dogs got up and moved away from the entrance door and slept further away.

I then told them "thank you very much sirs"

So VR ji..dogs understand English!LOL
 
Dear VR Ji,

My son is growing up to be a splitting image of my elder brother.

They look so alike that wherever they go people are mistaking them for father and son.

My elder bro is not married and he is extremely fond of my son and my son too loves my elder bro a lot.

Now my son is saying that when he grows up he wants to stay with my elder bro cos he feels that his uncle (my bro) is not married and has no children so no one will look after him when he is old.


I have a feeling my son and elder bro could have been father and son in a previous birth..not only they look like carbon copies of each other but seem to love each other like father and son.
 
Dear Renu,

My two 50 paise : (It is the minimum denomination of coins used now!)

You need not have talked to those dogs at all. If you had waited for a few seconds looking at the entrance door

of your clinic, with the key in hand, their reaction would have been the same!! :cool:

Dogs can understand body language too, not only English!! ;)

P.S: I have seen some stay dogs cross the roads in busy traffic, more efficiently than humans! :thumb:
 
My dear Renu,
Babies and animals understand the tones and
body languages more than the spoken languages.

Politeness and patience always pays rich dividends!

If you play with a baby calling him/her
"kannuk kutti, kurumbuk kutti, karumbuk kuttu
poonaik kutty, kazhuthaik kutti! etc "
the same sweet smile will be given by the child
as long as the tone remains friendly and pleasant.

I used to play with Baby Tejas singing a tune
"Micky Mouse! Minnie Mouse,
Jerry Mouse! and Tejas Mouse!"

Dear VR ji,

Remember I made Chia seeds payasam and shared the recipe?

Ok now I made a new dish with Chia seeds again and its simply delicious!LOL can't help praising my own cooking.

This recipe calls for Chia seeds ,unsweetened evaporated milk, honey,raisins and Hibiscus Sabdariffa plant calyx.

Firstly I soaked 2 tablespoon heap of Chia seeds in 250 ml of water and left overnite in fridge to swell.

Once it swells it become gel like and resembles sago a little.

Hisbiscus Sabdariffa is also known as Roselle plant..it is actually a species of Hibiscus and once the flower has fallen on a ruby red calyx( as shown in the pic here) is left behind and this calyx can be boiled to make juice and jam.

I made the Hibiscus jam by boiling it in a little water and then added raisins.

After it had cooled down only then I add honey to it to make it tasty cos Hisbiscus Sadba is very sour otherwise.

Then I take out the chia seeds from the fridge and cook it slowly over a low heat for 5 mins.

Let it cool down.

When you want to eat it..add a scoop or two of Hibiscus jam into the Chia seed gel and pour unsweetened evaporated milk over it to have it as a pudding.

It taste wonderful ..milky..sweet and sour.

Dear Renu,
Children may resemble their parents/ grandparents/ uncles and aunts/ grand uncles and grand aunts!
Genes do this trick and we find many weird families where
1. The parents are very fair and the child is not so fair,
2. The parents are dark and the child is very fair,
3. The parents are tall and the children are short,
4. the parents are short and the child is a long fellow!
5. In extreme cases the parents may look ordinary
and the child possess extraordinary in beauty!
 
That reminds me of a story.
A asked his friend B , "Why are you keen on marrying that girl?"
B replied to A, "I want to have children resembling her!"
A replied with a twinkle in his eyes,
"You may end up with children resembling you parents in law for all I can say!"
He was right. Who can tell whom the child to be born will resemble?

Isadora Duncan

I stumbled upon this Mother of the Modern Dance by sheer chance.
I love her graceful long neck highlighted by her slender shoulders.
Each one of us must know about this rare beauty with brain!
It is a pity that she too became a victim of a freak accident
due to her long scarf - the dhuppatta of the West!

I happened to see a film made on her. An interesting experience.

Hmmmmm... When water enters the sweet home as an uninvited guest and stays for three days,

(Oh, yeah 'virundhum marundhum mooNu nAL, allavA?) there are some advantages! ;)
1. Enjoy the rest which is not at all possible on the normal days! :couch2:

2.

Replacing slippers with tubs (instead of gumboots) makes walking fun!

Water pushes the tubs upwards and it is a new experience to walk like a robot! :cool:

3. We can wash the hands right from the dining table, after sitting comfortably! ;)
4. Keeps the brain busy thinking for solutions to get rid of this new visitor in future! :decision:

Active mind keeps Alzheimer's away! :thumb:
5. Pray more than ever and increase the faith in God! :pray2:

So...... every cloud has a silver lining. :pound:

I like your spirit.
Rains have brought out the best and the worst from chennai citizens.

Some have taken it philosophically , others even seen it in a positive light and even enjoying the different experience.

One can think of barricading the entrance with brickwork of 1or 2 feet height. Society can think of having pumpsets to drain the water and clean storm water drains

thru personal initiative.

During monsoon months. raising two feet brick wall at entrance used to be done in govt houses in delhi in fifteees.my childhood upto 10th class was in such houses. We used to enjoy the heavy rains .

Sometimes water entered the homes . our cots made of moongil and ropes would have legs submerged in water inside the homes..We enjoyed romping in rain and

getting drenched and sometimes fell ill also due to infections

Once I remember it rained heavily on all days of dussehra and low lying areas on yamuna banks in delhi went under water.even now when haryana releases excess

water our low lying areas get flooded . We take it as a way of life and move on.

Like bad times , this will also go away . We will have memories to tell our grandchildren perhaps.
 
1. Each house can have its personal dam in the future.

2. Force of buoyancy can be studied by walking inside the tubs.

3. Greater the base of the tub, larger the force of buoyancy trying to topple you!

4. Better to have a personal inflatable boat for urgent outings.

5. Learning to walk on stilts will come in handy indoors.

6.Hibernation will solve all the problems like getting clean drinking water,

cooking, washing vessels and clothes, bathing, cleaning, nature's calls.

மழை பெய்வது சென்னையில் - இன்டர்நெட்
அழிசாட்டியம் பண்ணுவது கோவையில்!

காலையில் இருந்து விடாமல் என்னுடன்
கண்ணாமூச்சி ஆடிக் கொண்டிருக்கிறது.
 
TOO HARD TO BELIEVE....

1. I am the 100,000th visitor since November 1st!!!

2. One can drop 30 K.G in 2 weeks just like that.

(Sure one can drop 30 k.g if she were weight-lifting it)
One can't even gain 30 K.G in 2 weeks and
here is one who can drop that in 2 weeks' time!

3. Magical supplement makes the body fat disappear.

(I would believe if it makes the body itself disappear).

More to follow when I spot them :bump2:
 
Thank you Krish Sir! :)

The 'spirit' kindles the mind to write poems too!

Here are two of them:

My mother had related long back how a celebrity had got strangulated by her long scarf. :(

How can God even think of strangulating such a beautiful neck with her own scarf??? :(

The last scene isadora gets strangulated with her scarf getting caught in coach wheels in the film , I remember even after about fifty years. the film I saw in late

sixties in 1969 I think. some scenes remain with us even after decades.Vanessa Redgrave plays Isadora, a free spirited woman whose career and personal life was

tumultous. A lover of many famous men, a mother out of wedlock, had an open mind and unfettered body who fully lived her life, went to extremes in relationships

with many. She was a self made woman .She will be remembered for a long time as an icon by those who cherish free unfettered human beings . The film left a mark

on me as at that time I was young . I was amazed that some woman in the west could live that way when women in india could hardly think of life beyond four walls

of home in a male dominated society which has not changed much even after 50 years
 
In the West many women do not care for
"What The others will say!" about them.

Here all women keep thinking is
"What will the other say about this/me?"

That makes a lot of difference in their attitudes!
