How they got fooled and floored!

Their discretion got blurred;
Their action became burred.

The uneducated were scared;
The enlightened were barred.

All their hopes have got charred!
Now none of them can be cured!

By deception they were lured;
By craft the truth was marred.

The 'have-not's got more sheared!
Paths of the 'haves' was cleared!

When finally the public stirred
They were ruthlessly subdued!

to speak out and remove all doubts."

It's been my long experience that folks who have
no vices have very few virtues."

May be the 'curse' was a 'blessing' in disguise! :decision:

Stand aloof in a crowd!

Her dress stunned everyone aboard;
It was something they can not afford!

Even if the dress did look real weird;
They all still managed, it to adore.

Their admiration remained assured;
Their stark contrast well appeared;

Her real effort was to get revered;
Of such attempts none have heard;

Those who this exhibition endured;
Will soon receive their due reward.

"The greatest pleasure I know is to do a good action by stealth and have it found out by accident."

"I always arrive late at the office, but I make up for it by leaving early!"

(Charles Lamb)

An Arab proverb:-

He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not - is a fool. Shun him.

He who knows not, and knows that he knows not - he is simple. Teach him.

He who knows, and knows not that he knows - is asleep. Waken him.

He who knows, and knows that he knows - is wise. Follow him.

P.S

If you are reminded of Arattai Arangam Visu... it is not my fault !

The dream and the scheme

It was his long cherished dream
To become his nation's supreme.

It was real hard work to scheme
With risks bordering the extreme.

He was not in the main stream;
He was not the nation's cream;

But he had a hard working team;
His aim achieved he did beam!

The fearful music concert


It was the girl's wish to take part
In the most famous music concert.

It aimed at a noble cause to support;
It wished all the music lovers to report.

Rare musical talent they did import;
The concert was in a famous resort.

She arrived by her special transport;
Sadly soon she was urged to exhort.

It was due to a wicked and villainous plot;
The young audience to eternity to depart!

The quick thinking chick


His plot was real thick;
He was mentally sick;

But she thought real quick;
When she heard the click;

She was a very smart chick;
Having mastered many a trick;

She can easily pick up a brick;
Or kick him or hit with a stick;

She knew how him to flick;
As if he were a mere tick!

The upstream swim!

His name had been since long agleam;
He did with the requirements beseem;

He was in the past held in high esteem;
But it not help him to become supreme;

His promises he was unable to redeem;
The surging tidal waves upset his regime;

The measures he chose were extreme.
It became a hard task to go upstream.

The Sun emits not just light but also heat! :flame:
The eclipse may hide the light but the Solar flares,
the Infra Red and Ultra violet radiation are stopped by the eclipse!

[h=3]NASA doesn't want you to go blind during the solar eclipse[/h] The much-celebrated full solar eclipse is just one month away for those in the continental United States, and NASA really does not want you to go blind when it finally happens. You need to have a special set of eclipse glasses or a solar viewer to look directly at a sun, even if it's already partially eclipsed. Look, NASA isn't trying to ruin your fun.

The far-right message board 4chan was awash with toxic comments, with Newsweek quoting one post saying: “The last president for McCain will be Trump.

It is time to teach those who preach!


Listen to the sound of that speech
Which was arranged in the beach.

Their tall promises they will surely break;
Our faith and trust they will surely breach;

The traits present are the same in each;
In each one lurks a blood sucking leech;

They try hard each citizen to reach;
They excel in the art and do preach;

It is time to stop them with a screech;
It is time for us, them, a lesson teach.

I thank the viewers and readers of this thread for the traffic of ~1100 in the past 24 hours.

Actually my reservoir of the Naughty poems has just three more left.

So now I have found new interest to write more Naughty poems Long and Short

( They are also Naughty poems made upside own!)

I am organizing my website to make it more user friendly with regard to choosing and accessing the blogs.

I also have got my web i.d card printed beautifully by my younger son and D.I.L.

Naturally I want to give one of those cards for each one of you.

Since it will be impossible (since many of us may never meet in person in real life)

I will get the beautiful and colorful card scanned and posted here.

Please imagine that I have personally handed over the card to each one of you.

Well! Our Imaginations has no limits!!! Right?

Writing the sahasra nAmAs is a real challenge when the ones I see do not give either the right pronunciation

or the hrasva / dheerga (also known as kuRil /nEdil in Tamil ) markings!

Looks like anybody and everybody CAN make a blog!

But I believe that "What is WORTH DOING is WORTH DOING well!

So the present plan is to get at lest one dozen sahasra nAmAs / nAmAvaLis posted correctly.

So the search on and so also the efforts for 100% authenticity and accuracy.

That means if by chance any of you are able to find any

mistake/ slip you are most welcome to bring it to my notice.

And I will be very grateful to you for doing that! ray2:

P.S:

And my secret plan it to leave BEHIND ME at least
one blog for every year of my life on the face of the earth! ray:

He:

Was such a mean man that even a stray dog will not go near
him or enter his house ...even if the front door left open!

Is it not a Small wonder that he remarks to
the other normal people's talking as 'barking'! :wof:

Moral:

It takes a real dog (present in a person) to recognize/ imagine
another fake/ virtual dog in another person! :moony:

She:

When given freedom does NOT know when and where to stop.

So she lets him take care of himself and makes merry with her friends.

Moral:

Irresponsible RICH women find and bind with equally irresponsible friends and celebrate LIFE

while their poor spouses (if they are still alive) spend their days starving / craving / raving and sulking! :moony:
