Think or sink!

Peaceful coexistence of Dad and Son!

When the son is very young his father is a Super hero! He is the

strongest man, the tallest man, the most handsome and gifted man.

He can do everything under the Sun! The boy is all admiration for

his dad!

A few years roll by. Now the child is teenager and his worst enemy is

his father! Always telling him what to do and what not to do! A real

pain in the neck! There are constant show-downs and a lot of friction

between them!

More years roll by and the son is 30+ now. He knows what it is to be

father now and what it was to be a son years back. He accepts his

father now. They learn to live side by side as good friends. Finally

there is peaceful coexistence and amity between the two
generations! :tea:
 

Frost and fraud both end in foul.

It is nobler to BECOME great than BE BORN great.

Little pigeons carry great messages.

Step by step one goes far!

​
Too much wisdom is Folly!

Procrastination is the thief of time.

Sloth is the mother of poverty.

Giving has no bottom.

​
Paradoxes in real life!

The offended may forgive.
But the offender ... never! :mad2:

He shouts the loudest...who has nothing to convey. :horn:

No cloth is too fine for the moth to devour. :evil:​

The old Tamil movies are really fascinating.

The heroes look so handsome and have normal human proportions.

The heroines are so talented and so very modestly dressed.

They speak (and some of them even sing) in their original voice.

They dance so gracefully and cry so beautifully!

The music is classic and the dance is even more classic!

No vulgar movements. No epileptic seizures!!

A band of men and women DO NOT appear from nowhere to join the fun!

No deafening sound of drums/ instruments in the songs.

More than anything else NO dubbang koothu and NO obscene movements.

No screaming the head off in the name of comedy.

No rape scenes, no blood shed, no impossible stunts, no crazy fights and chase scenes.

Oh Boy Am I glad we still have those wonderful films preserved in YouTube.

My husband watches them while I hear them doing my typing / writing at the same time.

I take a peek whenever there is dance scene.

Strangely the sound DOES NOT disturb my work.

So the human ear knows which is sound and which is noise!
 
One of my four uncles has an element of mischief (harmless of course ) in him. One day he wanted two five hundred rupee notes instead of a one thousand rupee note.

When he got the change he wanted he pondered aloud, "How nice it will be if we can exchange a sixty year old woman for two thirty years old!"

I told him,"Yes exchange is possible but the conversion works the other way. You can get two sixty years old women in exchange for one thirty years old woman!"
:rofl: I still remember his facial expression! :faint:​
 
We were mere kids and were traveling in a car, driven on a hilly road with umpteen hairpin bends, by our adventurous uncle. :high5:

We had a tough time being tossed around by the centripetal and centrifugal forces - as the car went on those bends. :scared:

Both the sides had scenic beauty. But who had an eye for it, when all our concentration was to hold our position in the car and stay on without throwing up! :puke:

My uncle was giving a running commentary on the beauty seen on both the sides. We were too timid to reply, but his son took courage and told him."Appa! do you know that you are the only person enjoying the scenery and you are the only person who is not supposed to do it!" :moony:​
 
Define perfect health.

When a person DOES NOT remember that

he /she has a physical body

he/ she is said to be in perfect health.

Why is Divorce Barbie so expensive? : funny - Reddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/.../why_is_divorce_barbie_so_expensive/

It's funny, in a sense, but not really, since all those things were Barbie's. Barbie's Dreamhouse, Barbie'spink convertible, and Barbie's party boat. Ken never came with anything except the clothes on his back and the shoes on his feet. If anything, Divorce Barbie is paying him alimony. permalink; embed ...

The conceited wife tried to shake off her husband.

But he held on to her like a leech.

When his friend told him,

"I am sure you love your wife to much!"

The man replied in a solemn voice,

"I love my house too much!"

He knew that if ever they get divorced,

she will get his house and his car.

He will get his coat, hat and a boot.

What is an image...an imaginary figure???
9k=
​
images



Our spiritual guru used to say very often,

The Image we think we have created in only imaginary.

How true are his words!

When I watch the ad in which the ex-charming hero Rajesh Kanna

says,"Mere fans mujse koi nahi cheen sakthaa!"

I actually feel like shedding tears.:Cry:

He is just a shadow/ a mere ghost of what he had been.
So much for the imaginary image!!! :doh:

P.S

Why do i feel like crying???

1. My first son is nicknamed Rajesh
like every other boy born in that period 1970s.:baby:

2. "Mere sappanonki raani kab ayegi thoo?"
song is the all time favorite of my husband! :sing:

Swami Dayananda Saraswathi had a terrific sense of humor and
the voice that is best suited to hand it out!

He often makes fun of the sermons which starts with the words "PaavigalE!...."

In our religion we are told that we have mahaa vaakyas like
"Aham Brahmaasmi". "Tat thvam asi" etc which practically equates us to Gods (minus our physical and intellectual limitations.)​

என்ன தான் நடக்கிறது உலகத்தில்??? :noidea:

"இடது தோள் வலி தாங்கவில்லை!" என்று
நெருங்கிய நண்பியிடம் சொன்னால்,

"வலது தோள் வலி தாங்கவில்லையாம்!"
அவள் என்னிடம் சொல்கின்றாள்.

இன்னொருத்தி சொன்னாள் அப்போது,

"உங்களுக்காவது ஒவ்வொரு தோள் தான்!
இரண்டு தோளும் உறைந்து விட்டன எனக்கு!"

என்ன தான் நடக்கிறது உலகத்தில்??? :confused:
யாருக்காவது புரிந்தால் சொல்லுங்கள்!!!

இது எப்படி இருக்கு???

வீடு விடுதி ஆனது!

சொந்த ஊரில் பேரனின் பூணூல் கல்யாணம் செய்யவேண்டுமாம்
சொந்த பந்தங்கள் அங்கே நிறையப்பேர் இருக்கிறார்களாம்.

பூனேயிலிருந்து பறந்து வந்தது குடும்பம். :plane:
கன்வேயர் பெல்ட்டில் பையை எடுக்கும்போது

பையனுக்கு இடுப்பு ரிப்பேர் ஆகிவிட்டது.
"ஆ, ஈ, ஊ, ஏ, ஐ, ஓ!" என்று உயிர் எழுத்துக்களிலேயே

உயிர் போகும் வலியை வெளிப்படுத்திக் கொண்டு
ஒரு வழியாக அந்த கிராமத்துக்குச் சென்றார்கள்.

வணங்கா முடிகளை விழுந்து வணங்க வைப்பது
கணேசபெருமானுக்கு மிகவும் பிடித்து அல்லவா!

அரை இன்ச் மேடு (?) இடறிப் பையனுக்கு
இடுப்பு ரிப்பேர் ஆகிவிட்டது. அங்கேயே ஒரு
சாஷ்டாங்க நமஸ்காரம், சகல தேவதைகளுக்கும்!

இரண்டும் இரண்டும் நாலு என்பது போல
வலி நான்கு மடங்காகிவிட்டது பாவம். :tsk:

அவன் தந்தை அழைக்கச் சென்ற இடத்தில்
விழுந்து விழுந்து கூப்பிட்டு உண்மையிலேயே

விழுந்து விட்டார் ஒரு அக்கிரஹார வீட்டில்.
விநாயகர் அருளால் முறிவு ஏதும் இல்லை! :hail:

அவரும் உயிர் எழுத்துக்களையே பேசிக் கொண்டு வரவும்
அந்த வீடு, விடுதி ஆகிப் பின் பிரசவ விடுதி ஆனது!!! :preggers:
 

Women and wine should never be dated.

Women are wiser than men because
though they know far less,
they understand far more.

There is too much beauty upon this earth
for a lonely man to bear.

Learn to labor and wait.
Longfellow

Everything comes to those who can wait.

A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband.​

A well adjusted person:

One who can commit the same mistakes twice-

without feeling uncomfortable.:whistle:

Let us economize it.:thumb:

The man who is a pessimist before forty eight
knows too much!

The man who is an optimist after forty eight
knows too little.
Mark Twain

You can preach better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Goldsmith.

The greatest mistake we can make in life is to be
continually fearing that we may make one! :fear:


Ideals are like stars. We may never reach them.

But like the mariners of the sea,

we chart our course by them. :laser:

Prefer Loss to Unjust Gains ;

The more things a man is ashamed of...
the more respectable he really is! :fear:

will surely fall in it himself. :bolt:​

And fat his soul and make his body lean. :pray:

This a lesson you should heed
Try, try try again;
If at first you don't succeed
Try, try, try again :playball:Thomas H. Palmer.​


Personality is to a man,

Some of the elders are shy to use a walking stick.

They would rather falter near every step, look for assistance from family/ strangers and often risk avoidable falls.

Fractures are the worst enemies of the aged and the infirm. So I have coined a slogan to promote the use of walking stick!

It is in Tamil and goes thus!
"தடி உடையான் படிக்கு அஞ்சான்
icon4.png
"

It translates to,"A person who uses a stick is not afraid of the stairs!" It helps to console myself too!
icon6.png


I have opted to use a sleek and stylish stick (thanks to my sons who bought it for me in USA) which makes it much easier for me to tread on uneven surfaces and negotiate slopes and stairs more confidently!

Strange but true!

People love to wear spectacles BUT NOT the hearing aids!

Some people wear specs with zero power, just to make them look learned.

But others would rather lip read and try to understand or even resort to telepathy to understand what is being conveyed!

One of my neighbors would me 100% attention whenever I spoke to her.

This undivided attention pleased me until I learned that she went deaf during her pregnancy!

It beats my knowledge to understand what is the connection between delivering twins and going deaf!

Can any physician explain this weird connection???
 
Don't act until you know the whole story!

இது எப்படி இருக்கு?

One man A came to another man B and told him,

"I bet you won't remove your shirt, even if I give you one hundred rupees"

"Oh! What a wind fall!" thought B and promptly removed his shirt.

A lost his bet and handed over to B a one hundred rupee note.

Just then B saw A go to another man C and collect 500 rupees from him.

A had aready bet to C Rs 500 saying that he can make B remove his shirt within 5 minutes' time!

Everyone has a price tag on him just like everything else we see!!

This was written 5 years ago!

I DO NOT know the latest position / state of affairs now!

இது எப்படி இருக்கு???

போடுவது அனார்க்கலி உடை :mullet:
பேசுவது கூவம் மணக்கும் கூவல்.

ஆடையைப் பார்த்து ஏமாந்தவர்கள்
ஆடிப்போவர் வாய் மொழி கேட்டு.:scared:

அதிகம் தன் மகனிடம் பேசுவது

"என்னடா சொல்லரே நீ?"
"என்ன நினைச்சுகிட்டிருக்கே நீ?"

அதிகம் மகன் அவளிடம் பேசுவது

"பொத்திகிட்டுப் போ நீ!"
"மூடிகிட்டு இரு நீ!" :faint:

சேரிக் கூட்டம் எல்லாம் திகைக்கும்
வாரி இவர்கள் வழங்கும் தமிழால். :shocked:

பறக்கும் பாத்திரங்கள் வீட்டினுள்!
கேட்கும் கூச்சல் வீட்டுக்கு வெளியில்.

ஒன்று நிச்சயம் நான் அறிவேன்!
என்றாவது ஒரு நன்னாளில்

அவனை அவளோ அல்லது
அவளை அவனோ காலி செய்து

ஒருவர் ஒரு நீண்ட யாத்திரைக்கும்
ஒருவர் சிறைக்கும் போவது உறுதி.
 
அன்றும் இன்றும்.

#1. அன்று பணத்தைத் தண்ணீ ர் போல செலவழித்தார்கள்! :popcorn:
இன்று தண்ணீரைப் பணம் போலச் செலவழிக்கிறார்கள்!!


#2. அன்று கொடி இடையாள்; பொடி நடையாள்.
இன்று நடிகை தடிகை ஆனது எப்படி??? :confused:

# 3. அன்று வரனைத் தேடி அலைவார்கள்
கவலையுடன் பெண்ணைப் பெற்றவர்கள்!
இன்று வராலக்ஷ்மியைத் தேடி அலைகிறார்கள் கவலையுடன் பிள்ளையைப் பெற்ற புண்ணியவான்கள்.:doh:

# 4. அன்று இருபதில் கல்யாணம்;
பின்பு முப்பதில் கல்யாணம்.
இன்று நாற்பதில் கல்யாணம்.
எப்போது அறுபதில் கல்யணம்?
(அறுபதாங்கல்யாணம் அல்ல!!!):whoo:
 
To trust or to doubt... that is the dilemma! :decision:

To be trusted is a greater compliment
than to be loved. :love:


We may get deceived if we trust too much. :shocked:
But we will live in torments of Hell :whoo:
if we don't trust enough! :suspicious:


I prefer cheerful people to witty people.
Wit is nothing but cheerfulness
painstakingly intellectualized!

In this age if it is said of a man,
"He knows how to live" ,
it may mean that he is not very honest.​
​

To be witty is not enough.
One must possess sufficient wit -:violin:
to avoid having too much of it.

Enough wit places one above his equals.
Too much of it lowers him
to the rank of an entertainer. :drama:
 

In some countries the concept of community bath is popular-may be due to lack of space or lack of enough water supply.

One child happened to see a group of people taking bath and shouted, "Shame! Shame!"

Overcome by a sense of shame, all the people turned their backs towards the child.

The child shouted again, but this time it said,"Same! Same!":clap2:​
 
Circumstances do not make or mar a man,
but they show what he is made up of! :thumb:


It takes much less time to do a thing right
than to explain why you did it wrong.:peace:


Nature, Time and Patience are
the three great Physicians. :clock:


No day is so totally lost
as the one in which
we have never laughed. :laugh:
