Think or sink!

In those days I was wise enough to carry a loaf of bread and some kind of spread to go with it.

So when we left one relative's house at 2 P.M and landed in another relative's house ~10 P.M

The first and the only question thrown at us was "Chaappitaachu thaane?" (prompting us to say YES!)

Sure we looked and also were closer to being famished than well fed!

Idlies were prepared in the microwave oven and were removed and served before they got cooked.

Giving a glass of idli dough / idli batter to each of us would have been a better and wiser choice! :(
 
We left one place ar 4 P.M. and reached another at 10 P.M.
Surely 4 P.M. was too early to eat meals.
So when we reached at 10 P.M. we were given two pulkas each with pickles.
Even if we were still hungry we would not get anything else.
But I could not help wondering at the 6" long cake being swallowed whole
held breadth wise by the host in a neighboring room! :wacko:

 
There is one house where they tell you not to visit them.
If we dare to visit them despite the good advice, we have to face the consequences.
It would be always a one-pot-meal with either red chillies or green chillies as the main ingredient.
It will be wise to leave their house while we are still able to travel long distances by a public transport system or in other words before the 'pinnadi problem' develops!
For a person like me with a sensitive stomach (thanks to the jaundice which almost killed me when I was hardly 2 years old) there can't greater threat or danger!
 
Subtle suggestions have too much power.
The question "Will you have it ?" or
"Do you want it?" may prompt one to say "Yes!"
The cleverly put question "You don't want it! Do you?"
will surely make one say "No!"
Of late I noticed this trait in people.
A would say, "I thought you would go to B's house"
B would say "I thought you would go to A's house"
A and B both have the right to say "Come to my house"
But do they have the right to tell someone to go to the other person's house?

'Chaappittu vittu thaane iranguveL?" is a nice way of conveying that

they are NOT willing to share their meal with us.

I always make it a point to leave the house ONLY after the satisfying meal.

But prolonged travel may make it necessary for a refill before we come back home and can cook.

We can always pack our lunch/snacks so that we need NOT WET the hands in the unwelcome places!

Avoiding them altogether may be the ideal solution but it is not practical!

Another way employed by the super clever people to escape is to do the disappearing act.

They manage to leave their house before the guests are supposed to reach it.

If you find unusually radical behavior in some children know it that it came from its wild parents!

Everyone knows what we like what we don't like.
Those who wish to please us will let us have what we like.
Those who wish NOT to please us will rather play 'a dog in the manger'
and withhold what will useless to them than let us have it!

Why ONLY the doctor? It is better to call any person before visiting, than to gatecrash! :D
Reason: We will know their mood and inclination to entertain us! :tea:.........

Adding one more point to this post:
We should judge the host before stepping in to their house to know 'chAppidak kidaikkumA, kidaikkAdhA?'! :decision:
 
When I visited my cousin's house with two of my siblings, we were not even offered seats but were offered pongal and chatni

which were kept open on a table (AkAsamE moodi!). In a wink, we refused to eat and rushed back home! :bolt:
 
Even when we don't gatecrash, give sufficient notice as well as choice,
some people avoid answering the phone, keep the people in eternal suspense
only to show their unseen faces like the other side of the moon.
Surely they will be accountable to some superior power/ person for their deeds!

It is the Law of the jungle everywhere!

It NEED not always be "Kill or Get killed!"

or "Gobble or get gobbled up!"

It exists in much subtler forms in every family

since man is supposed to cultured and at the apex of evolution!

It takes one of these forms depending upon the

dominance of one of the spouses and submissiveness of the other

irrespective of their actual gender! :(

1. Dominate or get dominate.

2. Wring the neck or get your neck wrung (Thankfully figuratively only.

If literally performed they will run out of necks for wringing very soon!)

3. Scold or get scolded.

4. Beat up or get beaten up.

5. Drive like a slave or get driven like a slave.

6. Complain all the time or get nagged all the time.

7. Kick up a tantrum at every opportunity or witness the tantrums all your life.

8. Play dramas based on the love of the spouse or become a victim of such dramas.

9. Make the spouse shed tears or be ready to shed tears.

10. Behave as if you have married this specimen of a human
far below your dignity or listen to this kind of whining all the time.

God has made man and woman unequal alright.
But should it reflect so badly in their everyday life?

My dad was right. He was never wrong for that matter!

It will be decided on the very first day ( or night) when the two meet
as to who will be the boss for the rest of their miserable lives! :hail: :whip:
 
The paradoxes in real life! :doh:

1. The tree laden with fruits gets pelted by stones.

2. The plant blooming with flowers gets rough handled!

3. The spouse who tries to please is kept on his/ her toes.

4. The person who works hard is criticized by the lazybones.

(They all the time and energy needed for this task, since they DO NOT DO any other work!)

5. One who can't cook criticizes one who cooks food.

6. One sleeps all day long, complain of tiredness and lack of free time.

(If sleep sponges off all their free time transforming them in to human sponges whose fault is it?")
 
The opposite of Phobia is Philia.

Now I want suggestions for the most suitable title

to be conferred on a person who believes that

he/she has to launch a new thread for

every post made in the forum. :ear:
 
A devotee is one without a vote.
He/ she has no say on any issue.
He/ she has no voice in any dealings.
Devotees are highly praised when they
completely surrender to God and to his wishes.
ONE may become a devotee by one's own choice or by unified force! :decision:
 
வண்ண வண்ணப் பாசியும், அன்பு அன்னையின் ஆசியும்


குறவள்ளியின் கணவனைப் பிடித்தவர்களுக்கு
குறத்தியின் மணிமாலைகளும் பிடிக்குமோ?

இருக்க வேண்டும் அப்படி என்று நான் எண்ணுகின்றேன்!
இருப்பது ஏன் வண்ண மணிகளின் மீது கொள்ளை ஆசை?

உடைகளுக்கு ஏற்ற நிறங்களில் ஐம்பொன் பதக்கங்களுடன்!
தடையின்றி அணியலாம் ஏனெனில் கள்வர் பயம் இல்லையே!

காஸ்ட்யும் நகை போலப் பொன் நகையை அணிந்து கொண்டு
கண்கள் அலையவேண்டாம் எல்லோரும் ரசிக்கிறார்களா என்று.

ரசித்தாலும் சரி; சிரித்தாலும் சரி, சிறிதும் கவலை இல்லை எனக்கு.
ரசிப்பேன் நான் வண்ணப் பாசிகளையும், அன்னையின் ஆசிகளையும்!
 
'அபூர்வம்' என்றால் 'அரியது' என்று நாம் நினைக்கின்றோம்.

அ + பூர்வம் = அபூர்வம் என்பதன் உண்மையான பொருள்

"இதற்கு முன்பு இதைப் போல் எவரும் கண்டதில்லை!"


அபூர்வம் 'அரியது' மட்டுமல்ல! புதியதும் கூடத் தான் ! :thumb:

when the decision on who is boss is not conclusively decided on first night, it is decided by girls mother over a period.

mamiar is the real boss. girl is only representing her. always choose mamiar instead of girl before marriage, as that

decides mans life

Dear Mr. Krish,
Coming to think of it, the girl might have approved the boy
only because her mother had approved him already.

"Kaikku adakkamaa iruppan inthap piLLai!" :rolleyes:

Why can't the boy represent his mom just as the girl represents her mom??? :noidea:
 
Have you ever thought of this palms-within-palms??? :rolleyes:

1. The boy's parents are held in his palm.

2. The boy is held in the palm of his wife.

3. His wife is held in the palm of her mother.

Can you imagine the amount of freedom it will bestow

on the poor parents of the poor poor guy/ boy

held in a network of strings with Brahma's knots all over it! :spider:
 
A clever girl's cleverer parents set out on their search for the ideal son-in-law
who will be under their control all his life - without even realizing that he is!

Their motto was to find "kaikku adakkamaana piLLai".

I think they had to settle for a pocket calculator since it is the ONLY thing both
"Kaikku adakkam" and will not register the fact that it remains so all its life! :rolleyes:

MOham muppathu naaL! Aasai arubathu naaL! :moony:
 
'
When the spouses constitute a well balanced couple of forces
( equal in magnitude but acting in opposite directions at different points)
the eternal jockeying for the ridership starts happening.
I assure you there will never be a dull moment in their lives thereafter. :rofl:
It is anybody's guess why I sound like an authority in this subject! :rolleyes:
