TIME

Time can not be CREATED

but time can be made!!!

Time can be made by placing the activities

end to end with no wastage of time in between them.

Time can be made by doing more than one job at one time

or overlapping the activities suitably without ruining them.

Time can be made by cutting down the long sleeping hours.

Time can be made by cutting down the entertainments and chit chats.

The motto should be “minding one’s business”.

No wasting of time in negative thoughts and feelings,

nor in breeding and keeping alive the spark of hatred

nor in evil wishes and wicked fantasies

nor in plotting and scheming other people’s downfall.

Being liberal in thinking and stingy in wasting time

(counting even the tiny duration called a second)

helps in making time more available!!!

[h=1]வெள்ளி நாணயங்கள்[/h]
ஒவ்வொரு நாளும் உங்களுக்கு நான்,
ஒவ்வொரு மூட்டைநிறைய நாணயங்கள்,
அள்ளி அள்ளி தினம் தந்திட்டால், நீங்கள்
உள்ளம் மகிழ்ந்து என்ன செய்வீர்கள்?

நான் தரும் நாணயங்கள் மாறுபட்டவை.
நன்றாகச் செலவு செய்ய முடியும், ஆனால்
மாற்றி வேறு யாருக்கும் கொடுக்கவோ, அன்றி
மறுநாள் கணக்கில் சேர்க்கவோ இயலாது!

பயன் படுத்தியே ஆக வேண்டும், உங்களால்
இயன்றவரை. இல்லாவிட்டால் முழுவதுமாய்
மறைந்து விடும் அந்த மாயப் பண மூட்டை;
என்று இருந்தால் நீங்கள் என்ன செய்வீர்கள்?

ஒவ்வொரு வெள்ளி நாணயத்தையும்,
ஒழுங்காக உமக்கு மிகவும் பிடித்ததை,
வாங்கச் செலவு செய்து மனம் மகிழ்வீர் .
வந்ததை வீணாக்க மாட்டீர் அல்லவா?

இறைவன் நமக்கு ஒவ்வொரு நாளும்,
இனிய 86,400 நொடிகள் அளிக்கின்றான்.
நம்மால் அதை மாற்றவும் முடியாது!
நம்மால் அதை சேமிக்கவும் முடியாது!

“ஒரு முறை போனால் போனது தான்!” என்றாலும்
ஓராயிரம் நொடிகளை நாம் வீணடிக்கின்றோம்!
பணம் என்றால் பாங்காக உள்ள எல்லோரும்,
மனம் போலக் காலத்தை விரயம் செய்கின்றோம்!

ஒவ்வொரு நொடியை வீணாக்கும் போதும்,
ஒவ்வொரு நாணயம் உருண்டோடுவது போல;
எண்ணிப் பார்த்தால் உண்மை விளங்கும்,
எண்ணுவோம், நொடிகளையும் வீணாக்காமல்!

வாழ்க வளமுடன்,
விசாலாக்ஷி ரமணி

SILVER COINS.

Suppose I present you with a bagful of silver coins everyday, what will you do? The coins I give you are different . You may spend them to your heart’s delight but you can not save them nor can you transfer them to the next day’s account.

Either you use them or lose them – as the unspent money will disappear into thin air!

What will you under these circumstances?

You will be careful to spend each coin well and intelligently, in getting the things you cherish most. You won’t want to waste the coins nor lose them for ever!

God gives each and every one of us, everyday, a wonderful bag containing 86,400 precious seconds. We can spend them but we can neither transfer them nor save them. Time wasted is lost for ever!
Yet how many seconds, minutes and hours we just waste everyday!

We are extremely careful not to waste even one rupee but we never bother about the 1000s of seconds we waste just like that!

If we imagine a silver coin rolling away from our collection every time we waste a second, we will realize the value of time and use it wisely.

The mercury thermometer at the bottom of these images was later replaced by the digital thermometer shown in the middle.

I still shudder to remember the weird and sickening smell of the digital thermometer in a hospital - which was being used on different patients without ever being cleaned or even wiped!

The latest development is the ear thermometer shown on the top of these images. It needs no body contact and flashes the body temperature almost immediately.

Science makes a very rapid progress. Do the diseases make a MORE rapid progress??? :noidea:

Dear Sis.

I could finish a lot of pending work because I kept away from our dear forum for a longer time! :thumb:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Dear Raji,

We always more productive work done when the P.C falls sick,

the Internet is down or we choose to stay from you-know-who / what.
When you travel frequently, you will have a backlog of pending work! :washing:

 

[Raji Ram]

​Not only :washing:, dear Sis!

I have to receive our dear ones in December and hence enhancing the existing pillows with added stuffing and new covers!

It is very true that if we are multi talented, there is no way to get bored, since there is some work to do on ALL days!!

My dear Raji,

The more you learn the more you KNOW!

The more you know the more you CAN do!

The more you can do, the more you HAVE TO do!

The more you do, you are more and more you have to do! :roll:

Surely no one expects anything to be done from a dull witted/ dumb wife.

Which proves that to some extent Ignorance is Bliss!!! :couch2:

For parents with NRI children, all the festivities happen when they visit their parents!

This is very perceptive post.

Idiots are always happy as no one finds them trustworthy or useful.

No responsibility is thrust on them by anyone.

Dear Mr. Krish,

NOT just that since it does not end there.

The clinging, dependent, whining wife will be adored and almost worshipped by her (unfortunate?) husband! The reason???

She makes him feel very important and indispensable for their lives to go on! She makes him believe that she can't exist without him!

Also if he himself makes her feel incompetent, then the rest of his clan will join him and give her a kick / a blow (dharma adi?)-
every time they pass by her side.

On the other hand the hubby of a smart wife always makes sure she is 'put in her proper place' - in the background as his shadow or an attachment - by speaking rudely in front of the others. In fact the more the merrier applies to the situation better than any other scene.

WHY does an intelligent, self dependent, efficient female stick to such a man - despite the rough treatment?

May be she is old fashioned or may be she is convinced that the rough and tough exterior of a jack fruit conceals the tastiest and juiciest fruit in it!

My very efficient and cheerful D.I.L here is kept on her toes by the entire family - including us!
Her two sons ( aged 6 and 3), my son and we two visiting them expect everything to be done by her.
She does everything so fast, so well and serves everyone with a smile.
God bless her with more energy!
I found her for my younger son after doing daily paraayanam of Devi Mahaatymyam for nearly 2 years.
The all powerful Devi did not let me down! :hail:

Children

Children KNOW and UNDERSTAND much more than we believe.

One day my grandson was very happy after he had nursed from his mother. So I sang to him,

“Yummy mummy… yummy tummy
yummy tummy ....…happy tummy
happy tummy......… happy baby”

My grand daughter laughed and this fellow understood that we were making fun of him. He started objecting and crying immediately.

AND he was just 4 months old at that time!

He would wait patiently as long as his mother eats her food.
The moment she reaches out for a second helping, he would start protesting and crying loudly!

Nature abhors vacuum of any kind...
of place, time, persons and things and let us not forget ‘problems’.

Create some space by rearranging things
and immediately it will be taken up another thing.

Get a few free hours of free time and immediately an unplanned work will surface and absorb that time.

Have more persons to help you in the house and
presto more work for everyone will create itself!!!

I am sure there is an Atma in everything around us and they are watching us and waiting for the most opportune moment!

Not just that !!!

They communicate among themselves by telepathy (?) and decide on their respective importance and urgency !!!

I had three wrist watches at one time.

While wearing one of them I said to myself, "After this watch came along,
I never get to wear the other two watches!"

Two minutes later the watch was not on my wrist. Till today I do not where it fell off and how it fell off - since I was on the pillion seat of our scooter.

It was as if it sacrificed itself or wanted to be found by another person who will show it more love and respect!!!

The office of my younger son is filled with amazing things.

I was amazed to see a blue coloured clock with an unusual feature.

It does NOT require any battery and works on water power!

If it is possible to make men, machines and motors work on water power...

all we need to be alive and get things done will be just water...water...water!!!

Today's poem ... dedicated to you-know-who for spending
sleepless nights and causing me hiccups when I am dining!

"punarapi jananam!" :baby:


People who project to be austere,
Off and on do completely disappear.

Right in the middle of their career,
Like any Bank's run away cashier!

As far far away as a light year,
From those they used to cohere.

Is it unclear why they disappear?
It may be due to the king's spear!

They has behaved rude and severe,
With people who they should revere!

Never repented with remorse sincere,
For clashing headlong with the premier!

Better not to bother that they disappear! :bolt:
It is a surest thing that they will reappear! :baby:

.........WHY does an intelligent, self dependent, efficient female stick to such a man - despite the rough treatment?

Just to save the marriage. :thumb:

Wedding is a better word, as our Dad says: 'We' comes before 'I'.

My additions is this: Which event mars one's life is a MARriage!!

 

[krish44]

Why do women alone try their best to save dysfunctional marriages ?

It is a serious gender issue.

Modern young women do not believe in it.

If something is not working out , get rid of it.

Why play suffering wife for a lifetime?

 

[Raji Ram]

....... Why play suffering wife for a lifetime?

For the sake of children born by that bad marriage!

 

[renuka]

WHY does an intelligent, self dependent, efficient female stick to such a man - despite the rough treatment?

Cos she can get free sex from him!LOL

 

[krish44]

For the sake of children born by that bad marriage!

Many lack courage to face life without man.

They put out the child story to continue in bad marriage

Once they get a replacement they get some courage!

Then they can even abandon children.
