Does a mother have the right to kill her children...

just because she brought them into the world? :nono:

Does an insufficient salary justify the extreme step

of killing innocent children and killing herself??? :shocked:

The twins.

While living in Vizag, we had an iyangar mami living in the opposite block. She is one who got the brilliant brainwave and heated the Diwali fire crackers kept of a big brass plate (a thaambaaLam) on a gas stove and created a July 4th celebration in her mini-kitchen ...luckily without a major-mishap.

Her twins sons (straight from Kishkinda) were named a Govindan and Gopalan. {Personally I believe that Vali and Sugreevan would have suited them better}. They are the same age as my elder son.

They were identical. One day my elder son asked me, "What is the difference between Govindan and Gopalan?"

I told him,"That there is no difference really since whatever Govindan can do Gopalan can do as well."

The deference was only in their names... not in their behavior nor in their appearance.

Whatever Govindan could/ would do, Gopalan could/ would do too!

But that mami was a real go-getter.
She did not appear to be very smart.
But she was smart enough to know that.
She used it well to her advantage.
She would offer a cup of tea or cofee and
get the most difficult job done freely
just by her elaborate smooth talking and
feigning ignorance or inability to do it herself.

Why do people....

readily believe the lies but not the truth???

readily trust the rogues but suspect honest people??? :noidea:

readily donate for a bad cause but not for a good one???

readily spend on themselves for their fun than on a deserving one??? :noidea:

readily tolerate those who need not be tolerated but not one's own???

readily spread the gospel of hatred than that of love and tolerance??? :noidea:

 

[renuka]

My answers are in blue.

Why do people....

readily believe the lies but not the truth???

Becos lies are juicy and can sell!



readily trust the rogues but suspect honest people??? :noidea:

Becos rogues have better marketing skills.



readily donate for a bad cause but not for a good one???

Becos a bad cause gets more publicity.



readily spend on themselves for their fun than on a deserving one??? :noidea:

Becos our senses are designed to feel most pleasure for our selves.



readily tolerate those who need not be tolerated but not one's own???

Becos familiarity breeds contempt.



readily spread the gospel of hatred than that of love and tolerance??? :noidea:

Becos disease spreads faster than cure.

Who but you dear Dr. Renu :hug:

can answer so correctly :laser:

so smartly eace:

and so shortly!!! :thumb:

 

[Raji Ram]

OK... Now my answers in blue:

Why do people....

readily believe the lies but not the truth???

because there are sweet lies but truth is always BITTER!

readily trust the rogues but suspect honest people???

because honest people don't know to lie!

readily donate for a bad cause but not for a good one???

Does anyone collects donation for bad cause??

readily spend on themselves for their fun than on a deserving one???

because 'I' comes before 'YOU' in the dictionary!

readily tolerate those who need not be tolerated but not one's own???

because distance makes the heart grow fonder!

readily spread the gospel of hatred than that of love and tolerance???
because heated is like fire and spreads faster. :flame:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Dear Raji!
Thank you for your & :flame: answers!!! :clap2:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Nobody collects donation for a bad cause,
but we know that the money spent by us goes to bad cause
like the naashta expenses of the political party meetings!

Now you are going to ask me whether I donate to the political parties.
I don't but there are others who are made to pay up
by using one of the four time-tested and unfailing-methods viz
saama, dhaana, bedha and danda!

Swami Dayananda Saraswathi defined accident as

"An incident which takes place when A and B

try to be at the same point P at the same time T."

I have never heard a better definition for this word.

Everybody wants to rush. Nobody wants to slow down.

Most often the last minute calculations go wrong since

both the vehicles make a DASH to make use of :car:

the available space and invariably end up in a DASH!!! :tsk:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Recently I heard a family member say that
he traveled at a newly laid road at 100 M.P.H!!! :scared:

A speed of 100 M.P.H on Indian roads!!!

Even in U,S.A where the traffic system is so well organized
people travel only at 100 K.m.h and never at 100 M.P.H!!!

When I asked,"What if something crosses the path?"
"There is always that risk!!!" was the answer.

I wish people will rather be late than become 'late'. ray:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

It is not enough to lay four lane roads and allow imported cars to flood Indian roads.
Travel must be made safer by NOT mixing bullock carts and buffalo carts with these
fancy cars which can travel like a hot knife through a block of frozen butter.
How can a pedestrian cross such a road - without getting pulverized or atomized??? :faint:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

While traveling between Palghat and Coimbatore by bus
my heart always melts to see the children making a dash across the street-
(karaNam thappinaal maraNam enbathu pola)
since there is no signals anywhere and the traffic will not stop
or even slow down any time of the day.
I see even paattis running with pots of water!
What of they don't make it - before the bus makes to them
what if they trip and fall down in the middle of the road?? :dizzy:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Coimbatore is infamous for its T junctions...always these three roads junctions are tricky and treacherous.

More so when people do not follow the traffic rules and keep us guessing whether they would take a turn or go straight on!!!

And to add to these we have giant U turns, scary but unavoidable - thanks to the partition in the middle of the major roads!!!

I used to see boys set ready for a sprint or a 100 meter dash. Only the counting of "1, 2, 3, Go" and the whistle or the gun fire will be missing.

They run across the streets all the time, with precision, with speed, with accuracy and with complete planning.

IF ONLY these urchins were adopted, fed proper food and trained well under expert guidance, they will fetch every single medal to India in the International athletic events. :first:......:second:......:third:......:thumb:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Once when we had stopped at a signal in USA the lights changed and before we could move on, the car behind us moved and gave a kiss to the back of our car. :kiss:

Yer it was a smooth and perfect kiss of the bumpers... yet the jolt we felt inside the car was really disproportionate. My elder who never loses his cool swore in the U.S. style. :mad2:

I understood why they place the very young children - in their special seats - with their back facing the front of the car. Such a jolt may be fatal because of their tiny and weak neck muscles. :baby:

Even bull necks will find the jolt too hard and harsh. :fear:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Wonder and Ponder how ephemeral human life really is!!!

A car load of people go to visit their family deity.

A wrong move, a wrong decision and a wrong swerve kills

five members of the same family most tragically.

The man who had EVERYTHING in life suddenly has lost

EVERYTHING in one fatal stroke by the cruel fate!

I can't help recollecting this sloka of Bhaja Govindam.
