Option VS Compulsion!

Sometime people end up doing things differently by SHEER Compulsion.

Any number of examples may be found around us in everyday life.

But it requires a rare streak of genius to make the action under compulsion look like an action

performed by one's own personal option.

In other words it is the rare ability to make things done under pressure (since THERE WAS NO

OTHER CHOICE ) look as if it were performed by one's own personal choice. But people who

know the background history will not fall prey to these appearances and make believe acts!

Are these really punishments or privileges??? :decision:

1. Telling a boogers-addicted-boy

"Thou shall eat thy boogers for the next seven days!" :nono:

2. Telling a lady who feels most comfortable wearing just her high heel and goggles

"Thou shall not be wearing any dress for the next seven days!"

3. Telling a staunch vegan ,"Thou shall not eat meat for the next thirty days!"

4. Telling a child who does not like to go to school and loves to stay at home,

"Thou shall be kept away from attending the school for the next fortnight!"

The line of demarcation between punishments and privileges vanish when the

the people are wired differently and some of them are outright weird!

So the accurate definition for a privilege

"Getting what you like to have or to do"

The accurate definition for a punishment,

" NOT getting what you like to have or to do!"

Shocking Sense of Shame:

A rare quality that still seems to exist in a lady

who had posed stark naked in photo shoots

for money and for the whole world to see! :faint:

REFER # 19500

If any woman or any man makes another of a different sex eat semen, out of passion, he goes to S’ukra Kunda where he drinks semen for one hundred years. Then he crawls about as worms for one hundred years.

Mothers must be gentle and firm.
Fathers must be firm and gentle.
If the mother is too strict or the father too lenient then the
children will fear the mother and ride on the head of the father.
Each parent has a role to play and each parent must must play his role!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Actions speak louder than words.
Parents are passing on silent signals to their children by their attitude and behavior.
They teach silently their children how to act, how to react, how to face a situation.
I think Parents must have some preparation for their role.
But like the politicians, parents also jump headlong into their roles with the least preparation.

Anima and Animus



It is nature’s law that opposite things must coexist. All human beings have both masculine and feminine energies. Similarly each individual has both the masculine and the feminine part of the Psyche.

The feminine part of a male’s psyche is called The Anima. It is the personification of all the feminine psychological tendencies in a man’s mind.

The masculine part of a female’s psyche is called The Animus. It is the personification of all the masculine psychological tendencies in a woman’s mind.

Human biological and psychological development depends on this mixture of the masculine and feminine energies. Anima and Animus are shaped by relating to and associating with the parent of the opposite sex. A man’s anima is influenced by his mother and a woman’s animus by her father.

Anima and Animus can influence a person in a positive or a negative manner. A man under the influence of positive Anima will show tenderness, patience, consideration and compassion. The negative Anima will be exhibited as vanity, meanness, moodiness and verbal attacks.

A woman with positive Animus will exhibit assertiveness, rationality in thoughts, self control and compassionate strength. The negative Animus will exhibit in strong opinions, ruthlessness, destructive forces, brutality, obstinacy and an uncontrollable urge to make decisions on each and every issue!

Anima and Animus are not bad in themselves but they should be developed properly. To assimilate the effect of Anima, a man must discover his true feelings. To become familiar with Animus, a woman must constantly question her opinions and ideas.

Anima and Animus must be developed carefully – by the parents, by setting on good examples – lest their children descend to the level of being mere animals!

Good riddance!

One must be able to recognize an issue;
Or he is sure to make a non-issue an issue!

No one can predict what things might ensue;
If with tenacity the person continues to pursue!

He might contemplate to, or face, a sue;
Making him need a boxful of soft tissue!

Thoughts serious about a re-pursue;
Are best forgotten along with the issue.

A man-eater or a monitor?


When becomes the P.C.monitor,
A merciless, starved man-eater;

And is taken away by the P.C. Doctor,
Without giving us any financial factor;

This thought, my mind, is drilling,
In addition my brain too is grilling;

There is no correct way of telling,
What will add up to the final billing!

After all the numerous milling,
The different spare parts filling;

At the prices the things are selling!
It might crush us just short of killing!

Accents can be amusing! Pronunciations pretty or funny!

Here most people talk as though they are hiding an invisible 'gum' in the mouth.

The Italian carpenter working in the house kept asking for Home Idon!

I felt baffled for being unable decipher English - of all the known languages.

Finally he brought the instruction manual and pointed to the word House iron! :wacko:

Children can become instant artists just by sticking the right stickers in the right place in the right page! Boys stick cars, vans, trucks, motorbikes etc. Girls dress up and bring to life the images of princesses without a face but for the nose.

Their eyes, eyebrows, tiaras, ear rings, necklaces and other ornaments are given as stickers in another page. Varun wanted to try his hand in dressing up a princess.

He stuck the eyes close together as seen in a monkey. He pasted the lips above the nose but thankfully below the eyes. The result was hilarious. We all laughed until we can laugh no more.

I told him how God the wonderful creator had made everything following the right proportions, in addition to making everything symmetrical. If there is only one part it goes to the center. If there are two parts, then they are placed symmetrically on either side of the central line!
I am happy Varun isn't a God with power to design and create people. Otherwise the world will be filled with either scary or funny weirdos all over the continents!

ORDER IS THE FIRST LAW OF NATURE... ALSO CALLED AS GOD! :hail:

What makes people look different - in addition to the color of their eyes?

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Pain and Gain!

Searching for the words which looked the same;
And numerous others which sounded the same!

I sieved through the Oxford English Dictionary.
With the sincerity of a devoted missionary.

Often wondering whether it was worth?
Pondering how it was stealing my mirth!

Eyes strained by the constant look;
At that micro mini lettered book!

It is true there is no pain without gain;
And also there is no gain without pain!

The words now I need for my babbles;
Drop on my lap like Newton’s apples.

Nothing done by us good or bad or ugly,
Ever does go in a total waste very truly!

The coconut tree to which we pour water;
Repays us with its sweet coconut water!

A Chinese room boy in a hotel , wrote something on the laundry bag, while taking an elderly man's cloths for wash.

The man wondered how on earth he knew his name and asked about it. The boy coolly replied, 'Noth name! :nono:

Dhisclipson! Oldh man; closs eyedh!' :becky:

My dear Raji,

As long we are recognize that we are being referred to it is O.K. with me!

Just as a Rose is a Rose by any name a crossed eyed old man

is still a cross eyed old man by any name!

We had some guests ( a Chinese boy and his dad ) for Thank Giving Dinner.

The table was over flowing with goodies - all home made vegan stuff!

Fried rice, vegan raita, vegetable noodle, rice baked with a wafer like top crust, mashed

potatoes with a gravy to go with it, blue corn chips, potato chips, Pear juice, pumpkin pie,

coconut burfi (which became coconut halwa due to unavoidable reasons) seedless

watermelon and two types of ice creams.

The little boy said happily, 'This is my second bowl of noodles but it is not the last bowl"

He was cheered by the rest of us for possessing the RIGHT spirit for Thanks giving day

dinner which lasted for over an hour. People had to take several intermissions to make

space for the food. The three kids also had to visit the potty for making space to eat the rest

of the food!

I thought only Indians overeat during festivals and feasts but apparently the whole world

does indulge in over eating!!

The italian carpenter made a Himlayan mistake when he fixed the revolving shelf and kept its opening under the long and broad L shaped counter top in a different place .

Every one was sure to bump his/ her head while getting up after taking out anything from the shelf. He set it right yesterday.

Every nook and corner is used to make space for storing things - which people may need or may not need, which people may use or may not use!!

Small is beautiful... not only in a person but also in everything else.

Life in the new small home-away-from-home (30' x 14') is better than I would have guesses or believed or imagined!

If we have the bare necessities and are contented with it, there is nothing like small house to make living comfortable.The house is only slightly smaller than the flat we owned back in India.

Actually our need are very few but we hoard things because of our greed!

I have learned to cook on the touch-screen-stove with two cooking surfaces and wash the vessels in the tiny sink (12'x8' ) without flooding the floor. The wardrobe makes it easy to store the clothes as well as to take out the dress daily.

No daily washing to save space and water as we used to do in India. Weekly washing appears better and easier. When the clothes are folded and kept in individual wash bags, they come out not only dry but also with creases resembling the well ironed clothes!

I guess on an average a person needs ONLY 200 sq feet area to live comfortably! :couch2:

TEST FOR GREATNESS.

There is always an acid test,
To find out what is greatest!

Just check out for the latest
Number of sudden protest.

Life is surely a contest,
Winner always is the fastest.

Performance is slightest,
When the heart is faintest.

Why the one who is brightest
Becomes an object to detest?

The one which rises highest
Is necessarily the lightest.

The one who is the smartest
Learns to remain quietest.

One way to become the hottest
Is to control the time strictest.

Learn to become the fittest!
Life will become sweetest!

Abhiraami Andaadhi talks about 'Neerum neruppum karanathathu" on Lord Siva's thirumeni.

Here it happens in every house at least during the nights time.

The air is so dry that it may cause bleeding of the nose unless the humidifier is turned on!

So there is a constant flow of water vapour... the neer

The nights become so cold that heaters come on to maintain a comfortable temperature....the neruppu!

So every room here is a representation of Lord Siva ... with both neer and neruppu

existing side by side. We can see and feel the presence of God in everything and

everywhere if we are alert and focused! :hail:

The stampedes in front of the popular chain stores can be compared only to the stampedes in the holy rivers of holy days for a holy dip, in India!

Just to save a few dollars people form lines as we do in front of th U.S. consulates in India.

When the limited sales items get finished, people feel crestfallen and start buying anything and everything - so that they need not return to home empty handed - after standing in the line for many hours, early in the morning braving the severe cold of the winter weather!

The Human psychology at work at its best!

THE ETERNAL TRIANGLE.

It is the best known angle,
That fits well in a bangle.

It is as welcome as a spangle,
The only shape-giving-triangle!

Yet one is made to dangle,
Getting caught in a tangle;

Harder is they struggle,
The more is the entangle!

Leading to merciless strangle,
Landing one’s life in a bungle;

Creating a hell of a jangle,
And ending up in a mangle!

It is the same good old triangle!
But it now is a lovers’ triangle!
