Dear Renu,
Even God is promised various things as 'nerthik kadan'.
Sadly, very often the 'kadan' remains a 'kadan' for life!
A weird friend here has promised God, to go round the VeLLiyangiri on foot
before his second daughter was born - in may be 1980s!
He is yet to fulfill it though now he is 75+ and
his daughter is old enough to get employed in USA!
I am sure he will have to complete his 'nerthikkadan'
at least in his one of his future births!

 
அடையா???

அதன் பெயர் அடை!
பெருத்து விடும் இடை. :(

வாங்கணும் புது உடை.
கூடிவிடும் நம் எடை. :bowl:

டிபன்களில் இது கடை.
செய்ய வேண்டும் தடை! :hand:

மாறிவிடும் நம் நடை.
ஓடிவிடும் பெரும் படை. :bolt:

எப்போது திறக்குமோ மடை? :fear:
இதற்குத் துணைவன் வடை!

கொடுக்க வேண்டும் விடை. :wave:
இன்னும் என்ன தடை??? :rolleyes:
 
Possessing something is different from enjoying it.

A lucky person may possess a thing but he may be
unlucky enough not to be able to enjoy it.


An unlucky man may not possess something but
he may be lucky enough to enjoy it.

That is why “There is many a slip betwixt the cup and the lip!”
 
Projection of oneself

Projection of oneself onto the others is
the root cause of most misunderstandings.

Each action is NOT what is being done …
but what we think is being done!!!

Each sentence is NOT what is being spoken…
but what we think is being spoken!!!

Unless people stop adding shades of their own-selves
into the words and actions of others.....

misunderstandings can never be ruled out!
Don’t look at the world through tinted glasses! :cool:
 
My dad's favorite quote!

YOU ARE NOT what you think you are! :nono:

YOU ARE NOT what I think you are!! :nono:

YOU ARE what you think I think you are!!! :thumb:

Moral:

Give a person an image (a good one!) and

he / she will be forced to live up to it! :clap2:
 
அடைக்கு ஏன் தடை?

அளவாக உண்போம் அடை; :love:
அழகாக இருக்கும் இடை! :dance:

என்றுமே கூடாது எடை! :cool:
என்றால் ஏன் புது உடை? :confused:

டிபன்களில் அல்ல கடை; :nono:
இனியும் வேண்டாம் தடை! :becky:

மாறவே மாறாது நடை; :thumb:
ஓடவே வேண்டாம் படை! :hug:

எதற்குத் திறக்கணும் மடை?
அளவாய்த் தின்பதே விடை! :)

கொடுக்க வேண்டாம் விடை;
எடுத்து உண்போம் அடை!! :hungry:
 
My dear Raji,

May be you are talking about the adai-dosai - a new tern coined
to represent the adai made as thin as a dosai.

Think of the traditional adais which were flattened using the fingers,
since the batter was too thick to be spread by any ladle,
which were literally shallow fried in excess oil on a deep tava and
which were left standing in a pile to let the excess oil drain! :wacko:
 
Dear Sis,

I have enjoyed both types of adais! :hungry:

Over eating ONLY will create trouble at the end. ;)

After all, dhals give the needed vitamins to vegetarians / vegans, right? :thumb:
 
Today I became one of the three main DEvis (namely Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati) along with two other white haired sumangali mamis.

A very rich and very good looking boy's marriage is getting postponed for no known reasons. The pariharam suggested by the astrologer is to do 'paada pooja' to three ripe sumangalis and take their blessings.

The boy did the pooja with great sradhdha and faith! The priest did sankalpam at the beginning and the three pradakshina mantram 'yaani kaani cha paapaani' on phone (using the modern invention for the age old custums and rituals)

The boy got plenty of blessings from each of us!

Each of us got a bag full of gifts ranging from glass bangles to a sari and a blouse bit passing through the other ashta managala items and ending in a box full of doodh pedA!

The striking coincidence was that one of us was dressed in a white sari (Saraswati?), the second a red sari (Lakshmi Devi?) and the third (yours truly )in a blue sari (Kaali/ Neeli/ Trisooli Durga?)

I really really wish that the boy soon finds his soulmate who will make him happy and take care of his rich, pretty, young looking, widowed mother. :pray:

Fundamental virtues

Once when we visited a house we were offered lukewarm coffee.

After we left the house, my father – who usually never complains about anything – said,

“The coffee lacked its fundamental virtue!”

He meant that it should have been served hot.

Thinking on that line I found our that Coffee needs

five fundamental virtues to be really inviting.

சூடு, நிறம், மணம், திடம் மற்றும் சுவை.

After many years we were offered coffee in another house where

it was placed with a loud noise “லொட்” on the table! :ohwell:

That day I discovered the sixth fundamental virtue…

the manner in which it was being served.
How many secrets are held in a simple cup of coffee!!! :tea:

 
Smart people get things done while
sitting in the safety and comfort of their home.:couch2:

Most help / service is just a phone call away! :phone:

But people who would touch the tip of their nose

only around the circumference of their head

have to travel / pay/ climb up and down the stairs / wait/

to get the same things done just to feel great about it! :der:

 
Anonymity. :spy:

என் புருஷனும் கச்சேரிக்கு போகிறார்

இது பழைய பழமொழி.

என் புருஷனும் ஃபோரமில் எழுதுகிறார்.

இது ரொம்ப ரொம்பப் புது மொழி. :rolleyes:

அப்பாவி போல் நடித்துக் கொண்டு :loco:

தப்பான பார்வை பெண்களைப் பார்த்து

எப்போதும் ஜொள்ளு விடுபவர்களுக்கு

நப்பாசை தீரத் தேவை…… ANONYMITY!!! :spy:
 
Innocence or ignorance?

Nearly 22 years ago, I had a student whom came to me for maths tuition.

One day I told her to ask me any doubt she had.

She asked me point blank how to use a popular birth control device,

making me perform a sitting high jump right away. :shocked:

I had expected some doubt in mathematics, but nothing was farther from

my thoughts than the doubt she asked me. :wacko:

I told her she DOES NOT need to know it now.

When the need arises she will be told all about it by her parents.

I tipped her father that she needed close supervision to make her

concentrate only on her studies and not get distracted by anything else.

Later she stopped coming for mathematics tuition.

May be she could not face me or may be she really got into some trouble

and had decided or was forced to stay away from the tuition.

It was NOT the age of INTERNET.

People still asked the elders things that they did not know about.

Reading about the arrest of a doctor who performs abortion for a mere

1500 Rs, I remembered the incident that took place nearly 22 years ago.

In spite of this being the Internet saga

the girls are still curious,

the girls are still ignorant,

the girls still get into trouble

for the mischief they do and

the girls still seek the help of a quack

to set right their problems - putting their life at risk!! :scared:
 
Hero vs Zero!
1. Hero (- X ) = Zero.

2. Zero + X = Hero!

3. Hero (- Zero) = X

What is represented by X????

X is the Universal Verbal Booster tonic.

It is neither mathematical zero nor the empirical zero! :rolleyes:
 
A honest and genuine doubt! :confused:

WHY is there so much of INACTIVITY in the forum??? :yawn:

Have all the writers turned into mere readers and are happy to remain idle! :couch2:
I feel very lonely NOT just in the threads I post but everywhere in the forum! :peep:
