The hoggish dad of Amish

Her lovely name was Amish;
She exhibited refined polish.

She was truly very stylish;
She had a lot to accomplish.

Her father was real hoggish;
Her, he wanted to demolish.

In his nastiness her did astonish!
Him she bravely did admonish!

Love like you've never been hurt,
Sing like nobody's listening,
Live like it is heaven on earth."

In some marriages and political meetings, there will be more people on the dais than the spectators. ":flock:

The current political scene, there may be more people 'thrown under the bus' than those occupying a seat in the bus! :scared:

Black does shrink the size apparently.

The new cooking range and dish water in black and silver appear

so much smaller than their counterparts which were white elephants!
 
Oops! They don't want to miss non vegetarian food even once in a while - while traveling??? :wacko:

    Switch to vegetarian meals on Air India causes uproar

    NEW DELHI - Coming from some other debt-ridden airline, it might have been shrugged off as just another service cutback. But not this time: When Air India announced Monday that coach passengers on its domestic flights would now be offered only vegetarian meals, the move provoked an uproar on social media. G.P. Rao, a spokesman for the government-owned airline, said the change was made a week ago strictly to reduce waste and cut costs. But what people eat can be a sectarian flash point in India, especially since Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party took power. Many members of the Hindu majority are vegetarians, while the country’s Muslims and some other





 
pin thoongi mun ezhum pethaigalin nilaimai enna theriyumaa?

Women of this tyoe can never ever think of retirement and arm chair/ rocking chair rest as men do!

We are always needed, we always feel wanted since we make ourselves useful in several ways.

Now I am learning to use the ultra sophisticated sewing machine which is 100% computer controlled.

I am making skirts, pAvAdais and blouses for my grand daughter (20 items in all!)

Those who are willing to work will work! :roll:

Those who are willing to learn will learn!! :laser:

Those who make themselves fit to survive will survive. :thumb:

P.S.

Talking of retired men made me remember this incident.

We often used to visit a distant cousin-in-law (for me)

Her husband would never be seen in house.

When I asked about it she replied in a matter of fact voice,

"athu chaappida mattum than roomil irunthu veliye varum!" :couch2:

Is he lucky that he has a room for himself and is free from all work and worries???

OR

is he unlucky to be referred to as 'athu' as if he were a cow / ox / buffalo / horse / cat / dog???

How strange! I thought you were one of the very few who could actually do it!

I try my best to follow all of them ( except 1) and especially the item 3! :sing:.. :)

We smile when we feel happy. We feel happy when we manage to smile. So it works both ways!!! :thumb:
 
The fate of the spineless king.

The new king lacked a backbone;
He would not last till a milestone;

Those who helped him did bemoan;
Now they all wished their sin to atone;

His policies crumbled on a whetstone;
Him they found it hard to condone;

The future which had been unknown;
Now has become very well known;

They themselves who did him enthrone;
Now could hardly wait, him, to dethrone!

Written on 24th may 2017 and oh boy :typing:
is it by any chance prophetic??? :decision:

Siva sahasra nAmam is the latest project for the new blog after completing Ganapathy sahasra nAmam and GAyatree sahasra nAmam.

Oh boy! The English spelling used are weird. I am yet to find a Sanskrit version for checking up the accuracy of the spellings in English.

But the Rudram and Chamakam which I learned back in 1998 is very helpful in deciding the correct spelling now.

Moral of the incident:

Nothing we learn with interest ( amidst several odds and oppositions ) ever goes in total waste! :thumb:
 
Memory Foam is the new concept of ultra comfort .

I am not sure about the memory foam beds!

But memory foam shoes are very comfortable.

They adjust to our feet and to the pressure points.

So walking has become a pleasant experience.

And no more bites and pinches from the shoes! :)

Talking of the comfortable beds, it will surprise you that the most comfortable bed is

that one made to order to suit the person OUT OF CLAY!

It will support every sq. cm area of the body and theoretically is the most comfortable bed ever!
 
The funky nicknamed monkey


His nick name was 'Monkey'.
His body was very chunky!

His movements were clunky;
He was a sincere funky;

His boss was a sworn junkie;
He sucked like human punky;

Monkey was an obedient funky;
It was time to become spunky!
 
Chinese Proverbs:

A smile will earn you ten more years of life.

When you have only two coins left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one and a lily with the other.

There is no economy in going to bed early to save candles, if the result is twins.


African Proverbs:

If a naked man runs through your village at the middle of the night, be sure to get dressed before you chase him.

When you are in love, a cliff becomes a meadow.


Abyssinian Proverb:

The whisper of a pretty girl can be heard further than the roar of a lion.

One health expert says:

''Sleep is not departure from wakefullness - it is simply a state in which you are 'unaware of your external environment" -

but physiologically it is an active metabolic process - hence your reason for moving. It varies person-to-person - and clearly

movement is important since you can have muscle strain or even pressure sores a DVT (blood clot) without movement. But

it is variable with no predictability or precise number.''

Source: Normally, how many times do people toss & turn during the night.

So how can a person sleep on 'this' clay bed? :confused:
 
We tend to turn and toss in sleep because of the pressure points which may hinder the free flow of blood.

The clay bed personalized and customized will not create any pressure points since

the weight of the person will be evenly distributed all over his / her body.

Then there will be no need to turn or toss or tumble in the bed and wake up like

Einstein or Marlyn Monroe - with unkempt hair resembling the rays of the Sun.

A man of principles!


He shone when he did compère;
He had none else as his compeer.

Him everybody else did revere;
It seemed he was so very sincere.

He at all the times did appear
To be at his best, very austere.

To his principle he did adhere;
With his friends he did cohere;

He suddenly became more severe;
The cause of this change was unclear.

African Proverb:
"An army of sheep led by a lion would vanquish an army of lions led by a sheep."

Is a Comet a symbol of destruction?

His rise on the sky was like a comet.
It hid the fact that he was a tyrant.

A bird brain concealed in a huge giant;
Made his heart lack mercy's eyelet.

He was expected to become their pilot;
He instead became became their pirate.

People found it hard to remain quiet;
People found it hard to remain silent;

No one liked this change in the climate;
All agreed to resist him with many a riot.

P.S:
A gentle reminder!
These are fantasy poems (aka as Naughty Poems Long and Short)
woven out of all the available rhyming words.
The poem was written on long ago on 27th May
