Grow grey gracefully!

Aging may reduce the speed of body reflexes but

certainly it improves the wisdom of the person.

Aging improves the quality and value of wine.

Aging improves the quality of the Idli / dosa dough by

proper fermentation.

Aging imparts sweetness to the sour mango and other fruits.

Aging makes a person mellow and kindhearted.

Aging may have negative effects on the physical body

but definitely it improves the wisdom of the person. :thumb:
 
I just completed stitching the starry sky blue sari-chudi!

As I had predicted I got two tops + a shawl and a pyjama.

I have made one more set of new dress also.

Eight pieces of dresses made in < 4 days!:thumb:

Corollary:

(1). I have been spending the same amount of time in the forum everyday
which I need to make one new set of three-pieces- dress! :clock:

(2). The three-pieces-dress will cost me >500 Rs

if I have given them to a tailor for stitching! :wacko:
 
The precariously balanced
nikkattaa??? vizhattaa??? :decision:
thuppattaa has been given "alvidaa!" :wave:

I was shocked to see a wedding video in which
a mami was showing her 'EraaLamaana body'
'thaaraaLamaaga' - without even a formal / token shawl on her body.

She had got a fancy dress stitched out of a costly silk sari
with more ""ottuth thUni" than the coat of a gudugudupppNDI!

THREE PIECES DRESS HAS BECOME TWO PIECES DRESS AND
LOOSE FITTING TOPS HAVE BECOME FIGURE HUGGING TOPS! OOPS!! :wacko:

A newly married girl could not get into her new dresses barely a month after her wedding!:tsk:

I remember the wise saying which acts as a warning to working women...

Not to wear clothes tight enough to get onto trouble with the colleagues :evil:

and not to wear loose enough to get into trouble with machinery. :rolleyes:

The 'phoren' returned woman who has come from Middle East wears

a knee long tops with a tight capris - which just peeps out of the hemline!! :rolleyes:

Conclusion: Forum addiction is NOT so good!! ;)
 
I find it irritating why some females I know are so interested to know all about my sons studies..exams results etc.

I never ask them a word about their childrens studies etc..I wonder why others cant mind their business.

I cant even tell them shut up and mind your business becos all these nosy females are my patients!LOL

The latest trend is getting worse...when patients come for contraception some go real too much by asking me what form of contraception I use!LOL

It seems based on my choice they would want to make their choice...but thats just too personal. I would not want to answer them.

Then some will ask try to peer into a small vitamin cabinet I have in my room where I store samples...I would have to say could you kindly sit down and they say.."I want to see what vitamins you eat"

Then worse still in a nearby restaurant..when I go there sometimes to buy food if some of my patients are there..some females try to peep what I am taking and then say "O..you do not eat too much rice".

I once got pissed and asked a person to give me some privacy when I buy food ..she said she wanted to know what I eat cos I am still slim.


I just wish people get less personal...over the top interested to know what goes on in my life.

Its becoming increasingly irritating..wanting to know even what my son does..what is his ambition...what are his exam results..why cant they just mind their business.

Better NOT wear a dhuppattA if it does NOT cover the right region!! :D

Actually Dhuppatta is very versatile. It can be worn as an anga vasthram hanging from both shoulders, or in a 'V' shape from the front to the back or on one shoulder either right or left or as a half-sari the way I do. But most women manage to expose their precious cargo despite all these numerous choices! :rolleyes:

Dear Renu,

Loss of privacy is the price paid by celebrities as well as the slim and stylish and people. If you are the mother of a teen aged son and look like a collegian, how can you stop people from being interested in everything you, eat, wear, use etc!

I remember you weigh FEW KILOS LESS NOW THAN WHEN YOU GOT MARRIED and you can still get onto all you dresses bought long ago successfully! :)

I understand their desperation since "Imitation is the best form of admiration" But often "Imitations may also become a suicide " as in the case of the "Kaana mayil aadak kandiruntha Vaan kozhi!" :rolleyes:
 
Today is the day for all kinds of test... blood sugar, thyroid, eyes and what not.
With the pupils dilated by the eye drops and the world shining like one hundred Suns put together
I may be able to post - if at all- only late in the evening/ night!
Today is the day our dear father left us 22 years ago.
So it is the day to remain solemn, remember his greatness and pray for his grace! :pray:

The self portrait of my parents taken 76 years ago.
He was brilliant and she was beautiful
and both were simple and very dutiful!

Dear VR ji,

A lovely pic of your parents.

They in fact look alike...are they cousins or related by blood?

Dear Renu,
My parents had just got married at that time.
They were unrelated before their marriage!
My mom must have been 17+ AND DAD 8 YEARS OLDER THAN HER.
I have taken after my father and people used to recognize me even they saw me for the first time.
My elder son has taken after me. So we had an interesting incident when my grand kids were here.
I showed this photo and Juju said immediately,
"It is my dad but I do not know that lady!"
I told her,"No! No! They are my dad and mom!'
We had a lively argument as to whose dad this gentle man relly was!
Small wonder my dad used to adore my elder son - who is also his first grand son! :)
 
சுண்டைக்காய் கால் பணம்;
சுமை கூலி முக்கால் பணம்.

(Penny wise and pound foolish).

‘பழம் மொழி’ என்று நினைத்தேன் நானும்!
பழமைக்குப் பழமையும், புதுமையும் இது!

வெறும் இருபது ரூபாய் படுத்தும் பாடு!!
வெறுப்பேற்றிவிடும் கேட்பவர் மனதிலும்.

தன் எடையையே தாங்க முடியாதவளை
தன் எடைக்கச் சமமான ஒரு பளுவைத்

தூக்கவைக்கும் அன்பான கணவர்களே!
துவண்டு கீழே விழுந்தால் என்ன ஆவாள்?

கால் முறிந்தால் காலத்துக்கும் அவதி
கட்டின கணவனையும் பாதிக்காதோ?

நெஞ்சைப் பிடித்துக் கொண்டு சுருண்டால்
கொஞ்சச் செலவா ஆகும் சிகிச்சைக்கு?

சிக்கனம் தேவை தான் வாழ்க்கையில்.
சிந்திக்க வேண்டும் சிறிதளவேனும்!

இடம், பொருள், ஏவல், காலம் என
இடர்ப்பாடுகள் உள்ளனவே ஏராளம்! :moony:
 
Just “Be” don’t “Become”!

Have you ever wondered why small kids are so fascinating?

They are always just themselves.

They think their own thoughts.

They DO NOT try to enter into another mind

and try to find out what is going on there.

They are not bothered about the acceptance or rejection.

They just ARE! They don’t BECOME!!!

When we take over and when we try to make them

become…become …become…something or someone

we are making them less and less fascinating!
 
Mathematics in real life.

Ever wondered when division => multiplication &
division => subtraction

In mathematics when we add or multiply positive integers
the number increases.

When we divide or subtract, the number decreases.

In real life when you divide Happiness
it multiplies by manifolds.

When you divide sorrow,
it diminishes by manifolds too!
 
I thank my father for inculcating a deep sense of humor in all his five children.

He knew how to look at the funny side of even those things
which were meant to hurt someone's feelings.

Laughter is the best medicine!

I remember how he used to read P.G.Wodehouse his favorite author
and chuckle heartily and loudly now and then.

He was able to visualize those funny scenes from the descriptions.
My mom used to call him as Jeeves and he called her Emsworth! :)

Humor is the best armor...as I too have discovered by personal experience! :thumb:


 
ஊணும், உறக்கமும்.

ஊணும், உறக்கமும் தேவை
உயிர் வாழ்ந்திட உலகினில்!

எவ்வளவு தேவை என்பதும்
எவ்வளவு கிடைக்கும் என்பதும்

ஒன்றைச் சார்ந்துள்ளன – அந்த
ஒன்று தான் நமது யோகம்.

உணவு இருக்கும்… ஆனால்
உட்கார்ந்து உண்ண முடியாது.

ஒரு காரணம் நேரம் இன்மை!
மறு காரணம் உடல் நிலைமை!!

உறக்கம் வரும் பேரலை போல!
உறங்க முடியாது நிம்மதியாக!!

மணி ஒலி எழுப்பும் காலையில்!
மனிதர்கள் எழுப்புவர் மாலையில்...

என்றாவது ஒருநாள் அறியாமல்
கண்ணயர்ந்து விட்டோம் என்றால்!

உடல் நலம், மனநலம் மட்டுமன்றி
உண்மையில் அனைத்தும் யோகமே!
 
இல்லாமல் முடியாது!

பொல்லாத நண்பர்கள் இல்லாமல்
கல்லூரியில் கலாட்டா செய்யவோ,

தோழிகள் துணையின்றி தலைவி
திரைப்படங்களில் நடனம் ஆடவோ,

குண்டர்படை துணையின்றித் தலைவன்
தொண்டர்களிடம் அரசியல் செய்யவோ,

அடியாட்கள் இன்றித் திரை வில்லன்
அடாவடிகள் அடுக்காகச் செய்யவோ,

பக்தர் கூட்டம் இன்றி சில மனிதர்கள்
முக்தி அளிக்கும் சந்நியாசிகள் ஆகவோ

முடியாது, முடியாது, முடியவே முடியாது!
ஒடித்து இவர்களை நாம் விலக்கிவிட்டால்

ஹீரோக்கள் ஜீரோக்கள் ஆகிவிடுவார்கள்.
ஹீரோயின்களும் கூட அங்ஙனமே!!! :)
