Recap #13.

கலை விழா

புத்தாண்டை நாம் வரவேற்கா விட்டால்
அது வராமல் இருந்துவிடும் கோபத்தால்.

எத்தனை இடர்கள் வருமோ தெரியாது!
எத்தனை துயர்கள் தருமோ தெரியாது!!

ஆனாலும் கொண்டாடவேண்டும் அதை
ஆட்டம், பாட்டம், கொண்டாட்டத்துடன்!

மேடை அமைப்பார்கள் பெரிதாக!
ஜோடிப்பார்கள் திரைகளால் அதை.

இரவைப் பகல் ஆக்கும் விளக்குகள்.
இரவைப் பகல் ஆக்குவர் மக்களும்.

அந்த மேடையில் தான் நடக்கும்
அத்தனை நிகழ்சிகளும் அன்று.

பாடத் தெரிந்தவர்கள் பாடுவார்கள் .
ஆடத் தெரிந்தவர்கள் ஆடுவார்கள்.

சிறு குழந்தைகள் உலா வருவார்கள்
மாறு வேடங்கள் அணிந்துகொண்டு

குட்டிக் குட்டி நாடகங்கள் உண்டு
குட்டிக் குட்டிப் பாடல்களும் உண்டு

எல்லாம் முடிந்ததும் உண்டு ஒன்று
நல்லோரை ஓடவைக்கும் ஒரு கூத்து!

குத்துப் பாடல் ஒன்றை அலறவிட்டு
மொத்தக் கூட்டமும் மேடை ஏறும்!

எதுவுமே தெரியாதவர்கள் செய்வது
இது ஒன்று தானே இருக்க முடியும்!!!

அத்தனை நேரம் கண்டு ரசித்தவர்கள்
அத்தனை பேரும் நாலுகால் பாய்ச்சல்!

ஊராரின் உறக்கத்தையும் கெடுத்து
ஓர் கை பார்ப்பார்கள் ஓசி மேடையை!!

தில்லானா தெரிந்தவர் அதை ஆடுவார்!
தில்லாலங்கடி தெரிந்தவர் அதை ஆடுவார்!!
 
பேசும் போது நம் :violin:
காதை ராவுகிறார்கள்!

எழுதும் போது நம் :scared:
கண்ணை ராவுகிறார்கள்!!

'அமிழ்து அமிழ்து' என்று
தொடர்ந்து கூறினால்

'தமிழ் தமிழ்' என்ற ஓர்
இனிய சொல் கேட்கும்! :ear:

'அமில்தை' அல்லது
'அமிள்தை'க் கூறினால்

காதுகள் அமிழ்ந்து விடும்
அல்லது அவிந்துவிடும்! :faint:

Dear VR ji,

I have noted subtle differences between men from South of India,North of India and Pakistan when I treat them.

Those from Tamil Nadu are mostly a bit reserved but do not hesitate to keep praising the "Periya Periya" doctors they know in TN sort of making subtle comparisons indirectly.
When they happen to see you outside they smile shyly and look away fast..they do not talk...I guess out of respect.

Those from North India are more friendly...they tend to talk a lot...they do not sing praises of the doctors they know in India but let me know each time they see me that they are glad to have me as a doctor.

When they see me outside...they usually say Namaste Madam Ji and smile a bit more than a TN guy.



Now the Pakistanis are the boldest of all...they talk freely..they tend to sing praises of my treatment and when they see me outside they do not hesitate to even have a chat with me..asking me "how are you madam ji..have you had your meals...where are you going etc" and they maintain eye contact while talking and are totally not shy and smile ear to ear.


Technically all of them are from the same subcontinent but there is subtle difference in their behavior.
 
My dear Renu,
Long back during a lecture by a swamiji he proved that the people of North India are more interacting and even more aggressive than those in the south. He also gave the reasons for this difference in their behavior.

People in the South are not vulnerable for attacks by outsiders and invaders as those in the North. After all the invaders/ attackers can reach the South ONLY after conquering the North. So the South Indians can afford to be gentle, pampered, shy and fragile while those in the North have to tough, aggressive and good in health and spirits.

I think a Pakistani needs to be even more aggressive than a North Indian for the same reason. So this explains the difference in their behavior perfectly well! :)

dear VR ji,

Makes perfect sense...not to mention those from TN tend to be less appreciate at times.
 
all women like to be pampered . no north ,south or west in this.

who says north women cannot be gentle ,shy or fragile ?

even if they are not they will act that way if one treats them as fragile rare china.

"Ask NOT what the others can do for you. Ask what you can do for the others." :horn:

I feel like dinning this message into the dense dome of every person in T.N.

I find a general trend which explores how to extract which kind of help from the others!

May be it is more pronounced in the community I interact with! :(

These people believe that they are in the center of the Universe and God has created every other living person ONLY to serve them! :hail:

I can't imagine how disappointed they would be if ever the center of the universe were discovered some day and they did not find themselves there!!! :rolleyes:

Dear Mr. Krish,
You seem to know more about the female psychology than the females themselves! :thumb:

There is a saying "kuzhanthaiyum theivamum koNdaadum idathile!"

I am sure you may add the words peNgaLum in the saying and make it ,"Kuzhanthaiyum, peNgaLum, theivamum koNdaadum idathile!":thumb:

Treat a woman like a Queen and she will behave like one and become like one! :drama:

Treat her like a wretch, she will behave like one and become like one! :(
 
The only wish is that the queen behaves like a gentle queen and does not an autocratic one riding rough shod on men.

then there was this film Queen starring kangna ranaut . that was about a traditional delhi girl who goes on a solo honeymoon

when her marriage gets cancelled as the groom walks off and discovers herself.
 
One handsome rogue never filed to win any woman he wanted to win. His formula was

"To treat a chambermaid like a princess and a princess like a chambermaid!" :rolleyes:

The new mode of treatment never failed to fascinate those highly impressionable ladies! :love:

I guess she might have to do the same thing in her real life too - watching the legal battle and

the washing-of-the-dirty- linen-in-the-public by her and her ex! :rolleyes:
 
I meet the most interesting people while traveling by train!
(Will they say the same thing about me to someone else??)

This time it was a smart boy about 12 years of age. He was seated at a back row and I offered him my window seat in exchange for his mom's aisle seat. :)

He was talking to an ENGINEERING STUDENT TILL WE REACHED ERODE. Er Anna had to get down there and our session started right away!

HE WAS FILLED WITH FASCINATING DOUBTS AND THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO REPLY TO HIS QUESTIONS CONVINCINGLY!

Soon it became a rapid fire question round and more and more people started to listen to our exchange of knowledge with increasing interest.

Finally the boy asked me,"What have you studied so that you are able to answer all my questions so well?"

At that point I broke down. I wished with all my heart that I can hold my head up and say 'Doctorate in Physics' or some such impressive thing.

But I had to tell him," I graduated in 1966 with Physics as my major subject. But my learning is not confined to my college days. In fact I have learned more after leaving my college that while I was studying in it."

I also told him that," I am a serious writer and to seriously one has to study more seriously than a college student!"

I gave him my website link and many people noted it down. I can see the spike in the traffic in some of my blogs already.

I made this cute little smart boy promise me 2 things.
1. He must learn something NEW everyday of his life.
2. He must be very careful in selecting his friends.

He has lovely dimples in both the cheeks and super brilliant. Everyone will want to become his friend. So he has to CHOOSE really worthy friends.

Later on I thought the scene must have resembled the meeting of Murugan and AVVAIYAAR in which Murugan would ask the right questions to bring out the best answers from Avvvaiyar.

Long live this Kutty Murugan - wherever he chooses to live!
I am sure The Goddess of Success will always smile on him benevolently in whatever he does! :)
 
The menu card looked very attractive in the print.

But we were served Uppli naaththappam ( salt-free and terribly sour ooththaapam).

The sambar was not enough to soak the hide-like-ootthappam to render it edible!

So as more and more people started asking for extra samabar,

it became instant rasam by the addition of water without the addition of other things required!

Two slice on bread and the two table spoonful of pongal were edible.

Thank heaven for the small mercies!

Lunch was better than the B/F but we had to rush to finish the food

by gobbling it before the train reached our destination!!! :rolleyes:
 
Water will never lose its importance.

Mix it with coffee... it becomes coffee!

Mix it with tea... it becomes tea!

Mix it with milk... it becomes milk too!!

Mix it with buttermilk ... it becomes buttermilk.

But Mix it with sambar... it becomes rasam! :rolleyes:
 
Recap #17

நிஜமும் நிழலும்.

குழந்தையும், தெய்வமும்
கொண்டாடும் இடத்திலே!

குழந்தையின் முதல் தேவை
குடும்பத்தினரின் அரவணைப்பு.

எல்லோரும் கொஞ்சவேண்டும்
எடுத்துத் தன்னை முத்தமிட்டு!

கண்களால் அவர் கண்களுக்குள்
கண் சிமிட்டாமல் உற்று நோக்கி,

யார் வந்தாலும் ஸ்கேன் செய்யும்
யாரை நம்பலாம் என்பதைச் சரியாக!

உடனே அவரிடம் பாய்ந்து செல்லும்!
உடனே பின்வாங்கும் பிடிக்காவிட்டால்!!

skype chat சௌகரியமானது நமக்கு!
போன் போலப் பேசலாம், பார்க்கலாம்!

ஸ்க்ரீன் 32" என்றால், தெரிவார்கள்
உண்மையில் எதிரில் இருப்பதுபோல்.

எடுத்துக் கொள்ளச் சொல்லி அழும்
எடுத்துக் கைகளை முன்னாள் நீட்டி!

அவர்களும் கைகளை நீட்டினால் சற்று
அழுகை குறையும், ஆனாலும் ஐயம்...

"என்னை எடுத்துக் கொள்ளாதது ஏன்?
என்னை எடுத்துக் கொஞ்சாதது ஏன்?"

ஆறு மாதங்களில் ஆறிவு வளரவே இன்று
அறிந்து கொண்டது பேதங்களை நன்று!

இப்போதெல்லாம் அழுவது இல்லை.
இரண்டு கைகளால் தொடும் அவர்களை.

தட்டையான 2D என்றால் வெறும் நிழல்!
உருண்டையான 3D என்றால் நிஜம்! :clap2:
 
Recap #18

கிணற்றுத் தவளை.

"அவள் சரியான கிணற்றுத் தவளை!"
அவளுக்குக் கணவன் இட்ட பெயர்.

"என்ன தெரியும் அவளுக்கு? ஜடம்!"
இன்னும் என்னென்னவோ சொல்வார்

வம்பளக்க வருகின்ற நண்பர்களிடம்.
வம்பு வளரக் கேட்பானேன் அதன்பின்.

'அமெரிக்க ரஷ்யா உறவு தெரியாது!
அமைதி இல்லாமல் தவிக்கும் பல

நாடுகளைப் பற்றி ஏதும் தெரியாது!!
வீடே கதி என்று கிடப்பாள் எப்போதும்!"

ஐயா அளக்கிறாரே என்று நீங்கள்
மெய்யாகவே மயங்கி விடாதீர்கள்!

ஐயாவுக்கு அமெரிக்கா பற்றித் தெரியும்
"பையன் என்ன படிகிறான்?" தெரியாது.

பெண் எதிர் வீட்டுப் பையனை பார்த்துக்
கண்ணால் சேதி சொல்வது தெரியாது.

ராக்கெட் போல எகிறும் விலைவாசியில்
பாக்கெட்மணிச் சம்பளம் எப்படிப் போதும்?

வயிறு வாடாமல் அனைவரின் தேவையை
வாயைத் திறக்காமல் பூர்த்தி செய்வது எப்படி?

"இதெல்லாம் நான் ஏன் சிந்திக்க வேண்டும்?
இதையெல்லாம் சிந்திக்க எனக்கு நேரம் ஏது?

அதற்குத் தான் ஒரு ஜடம் இருக்கிறதே!
அதன் பெயர் கூடக் கிணற்றுத் தவளை !!"
 
From 3-5-2016 to 12-5 2016 posting will be random and irregular.

Three visits to three different places, each lasting for 3 days

might make posting in the regular threads difficult!
 
When I was asked how I can remain cheerful in spite of many health problems,
I have learned to beam at the person and say, "I can since I know that I am not the body!" :)

Yesterday this thought came up to me during my twilight zone bordering sleep and wakefulness.

In future if any one asks about my educational qualification
I must look into his/ her eyes and say with the brightest smile possible
"My degrees and diplomas can never ever fully define me!"
in stead of breaking down in self pity! :thumb:

After all the degree belongs to me but most certainly
I am not the degree since I am much more than that! :high5:

Dear VR ji,

If some one asks about degrees...tell them "I am a thermometer....you read the degree!"
 
Dear Renu,
I got a chance to test my new answer with an attitude sooner than I thought I would!

Two days ago a gentleman asked me about my degree and I tried my new answer and told him that my degree and diplomas belong to me BUT they do neither define nor confine me! :moony:

Thank you for suggesting one more novel answer. I bet the next question put by that person will be "Which scale...Fahrenheit, Centigrade or Kelvin?" :rolleyes:

Their general idea is to pain someone unnecessarily! :boink:
 
I met a person who would hop into the electric car which someone else has telephoned and called as his very own vehicle but would not part with a paltry sum of money as a tip to the driver. When I reminded him to pay a tip to the driver, that old rat retorted saying,"You don't recommend for him!" and I retorted to his retort saying,"I was only reminding you about the tip and not recommending it, since I know nothing about your generosity!" :moony:
 
Has anyone heard of the priest who believes that by reciting Purusha sooktam everyday

he can change the gender of the baby in the womb of his D. I. L ???

So what will happen if he recites Durga sooktam? A baby girl will be born carrying a soolAudam? :scared:

Or if he recited BhAgya sookam ? A junior Lakshimi/ Kuberan will be born in the family?? :rolleyes:
 
Recap #19

ஜடமும், ஐட்டமும்.

ஜடம், ஜடம் என்று சொல்லிச் சொல்லிச்

சலித்துக் கொள்ளாதீர்கள் அன்பர்களே !:frusty:

ஜடமாக அவள் இருப்பதால் தான்
ஜம்பம் சாய்கின்றது உங்களுடையது. :moony:

ஐட்டதைப் பார்த்து ஜொள்விடுபவரே!

ஐட்டம் உமது மனைவியாகி இருந்தால் :rolleyes:

அடுத்த வீட்டு ஆபீசர் பையனுடன் சேர்ந்து

கடுக்காய் கொடுத்து மறைந்திருப்பாளே! :bolt:
 
Recap #20

Larks and Owls

ஒவ்வொருவரின் உடலிலும் உண்டு
ஒரு விசேஷ biological clock என்பர்.

அந்த நேரப்படி உண்டு உறங்கினால்
எந்த வியாதியும் வராது உடலில்.

சொந்த வேலை காரணமாகவோ
சொந்த சௌகரியத்துக்காகவோ

அதை நாம் ஒரு கை பார்த்தால்
அது பழுதாகிப் பிறகு பயன் தராது.

இங்கு குழந்தைகளின் நேரத்தையே
தங்கள் வசதிக்கு ஏற்ப மாற்றுகிறார்கள்.

விளைவு.....???

உணவு கிடைக்காது பசிக்கும் போது!
உறங்க முடியாது விரும்பும் போது!

எப்போது எவ்வளவு உண்ணும் ???
எப்போது எவ்வளவு உறங்கும்???

எவருமே அறியார்; குழந்தையும் கூட.
எங்குமே கண்டதில்லை நான் இதுபோல!
