So now we know who The Fearless Girl is!
One image = 1000 + words is true too !!!
Hats off to the Concept and the Caricature!

Ladies in my age group or in my family are famous for working
for our in laws of both the higher and the lower generations!!!

We were the traditional daughter in law trying to please the M.I.L
We are the untraditional M.I.L and help our D.I.L in every possible way.

AI have heard the popular Telugu saying
" aavida kOdalu raagaanE maancham ekkindhi!"
(She became bedridden as soon as the D.I.L arrived!)

I used to doubt the saying since no woman needs
to become bedridden once her son gets married.
But I got the living proof recently!

The medical shop assistant came over to deliver
our supply of medicine for 6 months before we left India.

I need a walking stick to move around without falling down like a felled tree!
He was surprised that I was checking the stock of medicines and their bills

He asked me who did all the household chores and cooked food for me.
His jaw dropped to his lap when I told him that I did everything
but had a maid to sweep and mop the floor everyday.

He told me that his mother ( aged 45 and ~ 3 decades younger to me)
has become bedridden as soon as he got married!

After talking to him for a few minutes I understood these facts.

Nothing was wrong with her really but she did not want to the household chores.
She will have to do them if her D.I.L continued in her current job. So the DIL had to resign.

So the Telugu saying is as real as the real people it talks about .

Naturally the D.I.L. dislikes the M.I.L who ruined her career
and reduced her to a cook cum maid servant by compulsion.
 
The creaking door gets lubricated.
The crying baby gets to drink milk.

This is true of everything and everyone.

You keep complaining you will get attention.
You suffer silently and you will continue to suffer silently.

azhudha piLLai paal kudikum! :)
chamarthup piLLai pasiyodu irukkum! :(
 
Man will willingly follow a leader for just cause.
Most men do not want to lead -
though they do not mind following a leader.

So once the leader is ready the rest of the people fall in line behind him/ her!Here is proof if proof were needed!

It is a spiritual cleansing system for the soul to stay away from
the mobile and laptop for three days or more in possible.

I do not have a smartphone nor am I interested in the exchange all kinds of crap in WhatsApp!

As usual staying away from the Forum briefly ( though by compulsion)
gave me more time for my German lessons and singing.

If you have more than one hobby and you will never feel bored in life.

Twelve years ago, I was astonished to see a new bride cling on to her cell phone asif for her dear life. She could not offer her hand to the groom as instructed by the priest since the cell phone was there always.

Most things including Money, Fire and the Internet are very good servants but very bad Masters!
 
One of the forwards was about one square foot dosa costing 25 Rs.
It is not known when, where and since when!

The very word Dosa brings in ones mind a round lovely white Moon Dosa
or a round golden crispy round Sun Dosa.

Dosa to be sold in square foot ???
I bet there were be no takers!!!

Next they may try to sell printed dosa
to resemble the local news papers.

Read it first and eat it next??? :giggle:
 
Here the children are trained to speak in public from a very tender age.
Actually it is more difficult to make them to stop speaking than to start speaking.

So yesterday we attended the presentation of our middle grandson in his school
He is the "Student of the Week" for this week. He is allowed to show pictures and talk about himself and his family.

The photos projected started from the time he was an infant and went on to include the photos from his latest long tour - so to say the Conquest Of The East Coast

He introduced us to the group of his friends. Surprisingly every kid smiled at us and shook hands with each and everyone of us.

I must have looked so different from the women folk they meet every day -
with my hair combed back neatly and pinned up;
being dressed in colorful clothes modestly covering the entire body,
with my shining ear and nose screws, bangles and pearl string.

The most attractive and eye catching item seemed to be my desi handbag with a lot of mirror work and colorful cross stitch patterns.

After the presentation we were told to describe the kutty fellow in one word.
So we heard a collection of the finest adjectives you can think of!

The teacher wrote down all these words in big letters on a chart sheet.
The students were asked to write a few lines about the presentation.

So we got a collection of testimonials in addition. The whole thing was put in a big folder and handed over ceremoniously. Needless to say we all felt elated by this rejuvenating gettogether.
 
I felt very sad after reading these news items recently.

1. The School Teachers are paid a pittance for the study materials needed for teaching the class. So they are spending from their own meagre salary to buy the supply.

2. The children now have the upper hand since physical punishment can not even be dreamt about. But that does NOT stop the kids from bullying, fighting, biting, punching and kicking the teachers.
THIS is adding injury to insult for all they go to these kids!

3. To supplement to income barely enough to cover the bare necessities of life, some of the teachers take up additional jobs as Uber drivers and Bartenders. They work had for a token salary and bear more insults and dangers due to the nature of those jobs.

4. So some smart and attractive teachers has found a novel way to earn a quick buck - free from insults and dangers (?!). THEY NOW GET SERVED instead of serving others. They have become the Sugar Babies for the stinking rich, old, till now unknown Sugar Daddys.

They can earn anything from 500 $ to 10,000 $ in a single day - depending upon the services they offer in addition to their good looks and their ability to bargain.

Is it not a shame that qualified teachers can't make a honest living with their education - but have to find other means like the non qualified women, to earn extra money to support their family? :(
 
The oldest trade appears in the newest form.

The one difference between an uneducated woman and an educated woman
lies her ability to demand more for the service she offers.

Every woman can be compared to a flower made of gold viz பொன்மலர்!
But the education makes the same woman நாற்றமுடைய பொன்மலர்!

Naturally the Flower with a sweet Fragrance will be costlier! Get it now???
 
நாய் விற்ற காசு குரைக்காது!

படித்துச் சம்பாதிக்க முடியாத பணத்தைப்
படுத்துச் சம்பாதிக்கிறார்கள் சில பெண்கள்! ?
 
Recently I saw the photo of a celebrity attending the wedding of
two other celebrities wearing an-all-revealing-costume!

It was there...baring everything and barely hiding anything!
That sent me into thinking about the relationship between Respect and the clothes we wear.

When we have self respect we do not want to show our body parts unnecessarily to the public
When we respect the public, we can not wear scanty clothes and disrespect the gathering.

The most shameful thing a woman can inflict on a man is to expose her private part to him in public.
When the magaLir aNi of a political party did a dirty dance, pulling up their clothes to put to shame Dr. Subramanian Swamy, he felt hurt and humiliated. The public was shocked but not those who did this wild and weird dance.

I stumbled upon a beautiful article as to why we must dress for respect and dress with respect.

How to Dress for Respect for Most Any Situation

Clothing may be a form of art, a way to express ourselves, and just a way to stay warm and not get arrested when out and about. But clothing is about much more than that.

பெண் புத்தி பின் புத்தி

உண்மை தான் இந்த எளிய கூற்று!
உண்மையில் பெண் புத்தி கூரியது!

மகனை ஏவி வேலை வாங்கினால்,
மனம் பொறாது அவன் அன்னைக்கு.

தானாகவே முன் வந்து செய்வாள்,
தன் சக்திக்கு மீறிய வேலைகளை!

ஒரே கல்லில் இரண்டு மாங்காய்!
நல்ல பெயர் + ஓசியில் வேலையாள்!

அடுப்புத் துடைப்பது அவன்/ள் வேலை!
எடுத்து சமைப்பது அவன்/ள் வேலை!

நாப்பி மாற்றுவது அவன் வேலை
பப்பிக்கு 'ஆஅம்' தருவதும் தான்

கார் ஓட்டிச் செல்லும் டிரைவர் அவனே!
ஊர் மெச்ச வாழவைப்பவன் அவனே!

பகலில் உழைத்துப் பொருள் தேடவும்,
இரவில் மிக மகிழ்விக்கவும் வேண்டும்!

அவளுக்கும், அவள் பிள்ளைகளுக்கும்,
அவள் அம்மை, அப்பனுக்கும் அவன் அடிமை.

இத்தனைக்கும் பிறகு இருக்கும் முகம்
முத்தின பூசணிக்காயைப் போலவே

தேவை தான் பொறுமை எல்லோருக்கும்!
தேவையா இத்தனை பொறுமை ஆணுக்கு ?
 
"தாயைப் போல பிள்ளை நூலைப் போல சேலை"
"தாயைப் பார்த்த பின்னர் மகளை மணமாடு!"

தயார் ஆகின்றார்கள் சின்னஞ் சிறுமிகள்
தாயாரைப் போலவே ஆணை ஆட்சிசெய்திட .

எதைச் சொன்னாலும் கேட்கப் போவதில்லை
எதைச் சொன்னாலும் எதிர்த்துப் பேசுவர்.

"சுதந்தரமான எண்ணம் கொண்டவள்" என்று
விபரீதமாக உற்சாகப் படுத்துகின்றனர் அவளை

நம் ஊரில் இதற்கு வேறு பெயர்கள் உண்டு;
"நம் மகள் அடங்காப் பிடாரி!" - அதில் ஒன்று.

விளையும் பயிர் முளையிலேயே தெரியும்;
விவிகாரமான பெண்ணை இனம் காணலாம்!
 
நாடு மாறிப் போனால் நாணம் மாறிப் போகுமோ?


நாணம் மாறிப் போகுமோ இல்லையோ
நாகரீகம் மற(றை)ந்து போவது உண்மை.

யார் வீட்டில் நுழைந்தாலும் கட்டுப்பாடு இன்றி
எல்லா அறைகளிலும் சென்று லூட்டி அடிப்பது;

பெரியவர்கள் சிறியவர்கள் என்ற பேதம் இன்றி
மரியாதை இல்லாமல் எல்லோருடனும் பேசுவது;

ஷூக் காலோடு வீட்டில் நுழைவது மட்டுமின்றி
ஷூக் காலோடு அவர்கள் படுக்கையில் குதிப்பது;

அவிழ்த்து விட்ட கழுதைக்கு குட்டிகள் போலவே
ஆர்பாட்டமும் அட்டஹாசமும் ஓயாமல் செய்வது;

நாளைய இப்பெரியவர்கள் வாங்கும் நல்ல பெயர்கள்
" ராமன் சேனை / ராவணன் சேனை/ அனுமன் சேனை! "
 
இந்திய மனைவி (அமெரிக்க மண்ணில்)

போனால் போகிறதே என்று சமைப்பாள்...
கோபத்துடன் வாரத்துக்கு இரண்டு முறை!

என்றும் "பழையது" தான் உண்ணும் உணவு!
எத்தனை உழைத்துச் சம்பாதித்து என்ன பயன்?

கஞ்சி குடித்தாலும் அது புதிதாக வேண்டும்!
ஆறின கஞ்சி பழங்கஞ்சி என்பர் அல்லவா?

எதாவது சொன்னால் சோற்றில் விழும் மண்!
ஏதாவது கிடைத்தால் போதும் என்றாகிவிட்டது.

டிஷ்வாஷர் லோடிங் & அன்லோடிங் அவள் அல்ல
வாஷிங் மெஷீன் லோடிங் & அன்லோடிங் அவள் அல்ல

வீக்லி ஹவுஸ் கிளீனிங் அவள் வேலை அல்ல
லான் ட்ரிம்மிங் & கார்டனிங் அவள் வேலை அல்ல

என்ன தான் செய்கின்றார்கள் இந்தியப் பெண்கள்?
எதை வெட்டி முறிக்கிறார்களாம் இந்தப் பெண்கள்?

எனக்குத் தெரியவில்லை நான் சிந்தித்தவரையில்.
எனக்கு இதைக் கூறுவீர் உமக்குத் தெரிந்திருந்தால்!
 
Are the chemicals used in pesticides harming humans more than those bugs?

Probably YES!

Everything is either polluted or poisoned... The Air, The Water, The Food we eat.

Gone are those days when one can drink the tap water and still be alive - ticking and kicking!

Variety is the spice of life no doubt!

But when the choices are too many it becomes
difficult to cater to the taste of everyone present!

What happens when Choices VS Chores???
Well! There is no unmixed blessing... right ?
 
Meeting is a happy occasion
Parting is a sad occasion.

But whoever get to meet the others have
to go back to where they had come from.

Human beings are compared to the pieces of logs floating on water.
The waves bring them together at times and separates them at other times!
The same is true of human beings and the waves on water is the passage of time.
 
There has always been two groups (or more)

The Haves & The Have Nots.,
The Simple and The Complex,

The Innocent & The Smart
The Ignorant & The Enlightened

The Server & The Served
The Larks and The Owls

The Nibblers & The Gobblers
The Shouters & The Pouters
 
When the visiting kids demand specific food items prepared in a specific manner - their mother comes into the picture and into the kitchen to cook for them.
Often times we can see the host - the lady of the house sitting idle and relaxed, while the visiting parents are kept on their toes by their kids!
Oh what a vacation it will be... to do the same chores but in a different house! o_O
 
The shortest route to a man's heart is through his stomach.
(If you can satisfy his stomach you can win his heart - at least theoretically)

A man would rather have his wife cook excellent food
than speak excellent and flawless Latin and Greek.

Every man wants his wife to cook his food just like his mother did.
Nothing else will satisfy him...however fancy the dish may be!

So the wife has to wait for her turn to be appreciated - till she gets her own kids.
Then the story will get repeated from generation to generation.
