We design many things imitating the things we find in nature.
The sling bag/ pouch for carrying baby/ infant is designed on a turtle/ tortoise.

The dome of the tortoise has five opening for the head and the four limbs.The pouch has exactly 5 openings for the same purpose.

A kangaroo transfers its baby from its womb to the pouch outside it body. A woman does very much the same after the baby is born

Somehow in India we still manage to bring up children without these sling bags and tons of diapers!

Poverty has many advantages. One of the best advantages is that we learn to survive on less and less comforts and luxuries - just because we can't afford to buy them.

But in the long run we contribute more to the ecological balance than those who contribute to the ecological imbalance by producing tons of diapers and sanitary pads with a long life!

Now 'use-and-throw' syringes and needles are used in all the labs.

Last time I went to get my blood sugar checked, I went to a different lab-

much bigger and busier than the one I usually visit.

People were going in and coming out in a constant stream!

The minimum waiting period to be called in was 10 + minutes.

After my blood was drawn the pretty girl tossed the syringe and needle in

one of the two huge boxes kept there - of the size of washing machine tank.

There must have been thousands of needles and syringes in the box.

I asked the girl, "What happen to all these neadles and syringes?"

She said,"They will be disposed!"

I asked her "How and where will they be disposed? Do they go into land

filings or thrown in water bodies or are they buried deep beyond the reach of

people?" She has no answer for this.

I told her to find out how they are disposed since I will ask her the same

question when we will meet next time.

What a lot of Eco-un-friendly waste we are creating!

Why can't the sterilize them and reuse them as my dad used to do?

Will they start disposing the surgical instruments also in a future date -

fearing the spread of HIV or Zika or anything else they may appear in the

future as a global threat?

If this is the indestructible waste collected in one lab in one city, what will be

the sum total of such a waste of plastic and steel in the whole country and

the whole world? :wacko:
 
Yesterday was full of thrills and frills of S.M.S !

S.M.S kept bombarding about a mobile phone

which we are not smart enough to use and

which we are not dumb enough to buy at its

astronomical price and which we had not ordered!

It did not make any sense.

The first S.M.S accepted the request (?)

The second one said it is being processed(!!)

The third one said it will be shipped in April first week.

The fourth S.M.S said the invoice will be sent to our e mail i.d .

The fifth S.M.S said the mobile will be shipped to our address!

Can anybody make any sense of this and tell me

what to do if and when a similar thing happens again?

Dear VR ji,

The person you spoke with was not well informed.

All disposable needles and syringes are considered Bio-Hazard and are disposed off by incineration to make sure no spread of diseases.

We have come a long long way in Medical Science..needles and syringes should NEVER EVER be sterilized and re used.

Those old days are gone..we cant risk lives.
 
Thank you dear Dr. Renu for responding!

I read that there are six different methods of sterilizing the surgical tools.

I wondered whether one of them may be suitable for sterilizing the needles.

We need not take unnecessary risks with syringes with our precious life :scared:

when the modern life itself is forcing us to face so many new risks!

The hundreds of birds in the tall leafy tree near the main gate wake up exactly at 6-15 A.M
( lazy bones... they sleep longer than me and wake up one hour later than me!) :sleep:

They meet, greet, tweet in a noisy jargon for about 10 minutes
waking up all the other birds and the human beings as well.

Then they are off to mind their main business of finding food for the day!

Early bird gets the worm! Sure! :thumb:
But did you you ever stop to think that the early worm gets eaten up first??? :rolleyes:
 
When i lost 5 K.G weight and felt happy for looking slimmer :)

my balloon of joy was busted as usual by someone very close. :boink:

I was told, "You seem to have reduced a 'Noolizhai'! :boom:

So how much should I reduce to look like what I did before my wedding! :decision:
 
May be the loss in % of weight matters more than the actual loss in the weight!

For a young child even a loss of 2 K.G would make it look crestfallen and very weak.

While for motoos a reduction of 10 to 20 K.Gs will show some small visible change! :rolleyes:

Yesterday I saw a person bursting at the seams of his shirt (and pants too ?)

Probably he is the type who eats chappathis after full meals

and NOT instead of the full meals as advised by his cryptic doctor who might have

just told him "Eat chappathis!" without specifying "instead of meals" :rolleyes:

 
Dear VR ji,

I had a weird dream today morning at about 5am just before I got up.

I dreamt I was driving and I was in front of a bridal shop and I saw a bride standing outside the shop dressed in a Magenta Pinkish Lehenga Choli decked with jewelery but she was headless!

She had a little bit of a neck and she wore a beautiful necklace. Her body was perfect...only thing she was headless.

In my dream I reversed my car and sped off.

Then my dream ended and I woke up..as I woke up all dogs in my housing area started to howl one after another!

I was wondering if there was really a headless ghost bride roaming around??

But its a scary feeling to dream of a ghost bride.

Dear Renu,

I can see that Ghosts don't let you have a peaceful night's sleep! :(

The ghost must be real since Magenta pink is the 'in-color' both men and women now!

My flesh creeps when I see people of all shades sporting dresses and coats in magenta shade!

Often the mannequin used in the shops to display dresses and jewels are headless too.

That makes the dream seem and sound even more real! :scared:

How convenient it must be to wear the necklace when there is no head
obstructing it from being slipped on or off!

The dog howling in real means that the ghost is really invading the area
and has also appeared in your dream - as the Gods and Goddess are supposed to do usually.

I hope she finds a suitable ghost husband and settles down peacefully in their domain! :amen:

 
The examination fear is not confined to the school and college days.

For some people it last throughout their life.

They are afraid of the medical examination done on them.

They are afraid of any interview where they will be asked questions.

THIS too is an exam though it does not involve writing down the answers!

They may go the extent of spending sleepless nights - even for a casual and formal interview! :tsk:
 
Some (actually only one) clever paatti steals all the mature hibiscus buds everyday.

They are made to blooms in her house under controlled conditions. :rolleyes:

When she does not steal the buds, the plant bears minimum a dozen bright red lovely flowers.

On such days the other paattis of the colony share these flowers and offer to their Gods.

I am the one who plucks these flowers and share them with the others.

In return the upturned branches of the plant gently caress my neck, my face and cheeks! :)

It is a nice and cool feeling of being wanted - even if it is only a plant caressing you!

The others also want me - but only for a blame-game or

to shock-absorb when they give vent to their anger!
 
What are close relatives created for? :(

Exclusively to take a DIG at us at every possible opportunity -

whether the cause is real or purely imaginary! :boink:

Many middle class steal to fulfill their religeous duties.

Like plucking flowers in neighbours garden

Like karuveppilai or tulsi leaves for pooja and food.

Sand for putting in between bricks for lighting a fire above.

Most steal from construction sites nearby.

Who buys bricks eight to ten required for making a base lighting a fire for pooja ?

These pooja samagris consisting of odd items are best stolen .

Borrowing from neighbour not to return is our favourite sport.

Why buy what you can get from neighbour/

I had a relative who bought only one paper. Since his neighbouring flat fellow woke up late , he would pinch it to read and put it back again without the neighbour

realising it.

dear Mr. krish,
It is not just the stolen kiss that is sweet! :)
Stolen anything (even when one can afford to but it) is very very sweet indeed.

Remember the saying ..."Money saved is money earned"?

As for the news paper the guy must be very clever and organized to fold back
the newspaper in such a away that the buyer would never notice it!

The suitcase once opened after packing for a long tour and the news paper can never be made to look like what they used be before they were opened! :rolleyes:
 
There is a pink panther cartoon where the borrowed garden scissors lead
to full fledged war between the 'friendly neighbors' -with the use cannon!
I will try to locate it and give the link later! :)
 
I was stunned when I saw an old application form filled in Tamil.

The box marked as ' Thozhil' was filled up as 'Sukha jeevanam' :couch2:

It merely means living off the ancestral property without having to move a muscle to make a living

except using the lower jaw both the purposes it is meant for ( namely grinding and gossiping)!

Well! Everyone needs a useful hobby to be happy ! Right???

So the 'Upa jeevanam' of 'Sukha jeevanam' has to be none other than "chiNdu mudiyum vElai"! :rolleyes:
