Little things that teach us

Ever noticed a shoe polish can? Try opening it; You can't open how much ever you try except for a side-mounted opening mechanism wherein you press and bingo it opens. You have to hit the nail on the spot where the event gets triggered. This is called concentration. Do smart work and not hard work. Act smart, wise and no wild goose chase.

Is scissors better than a needle? If you are going price wise then may be. But I beg to differ. The innocuous needle ties things together maintaining the unity, except for an occasional prick but scissors tears things apart. Love is priceless but is responsible for hearts to sync. Anger, greed, hatred,envy comes with a price. :)

Nice thoughts. May the needle never leave even the teeniest pinprick on you. All the best.

Well... don't know if we need to see things that way...... It is the perspective at any particular instant that defines things are good or bad... May be if we stop searching for the symptoms of those on others.... :)

I would say that each tool does what it is supposed to do. You can't cut art/decors with a needle and you can't sue with the scissors.

Typical Tam Bram hymeneals

Image
Attended my first cousin Swathi's wedding. Managed to get pictures from my sister only now. The first word that strikes me when I envisage a Tam Bram wedding is a "Marathon". A three day fun and frolic filled event for all of us involving a lot of leg pulling activity courtesy scores of cousins, sumptuous lunch for us, the non-stop rituals, changing sarees often, those heavy jewellery, managing the nine yard saree and repeating those hymns.No wonder one gets to learn to be patient by then.Indeed attending other's wedding is really enthralling. Right from Janvasam to Reception to Unjal to Kalyanam ,Valayadal to Kattusadham(bidding adieu to hordes of folks accompanied by gargantuan lunch) ..the endless list proceeded by a tear jerker moment for the bride's side. I could empathize with my Aunt and Uncle.Finally we all folks landed up getting exhausted making umpteen rounds here and there volunteering, managing my niece nephew and not-so li'l sis.. I took a b

Karthik's, Srinivas',Swathis's,Manjunath' s and Subramanian's

I was always in conundrum with my identity. Atleast I thought so. Born in Mumbai, brought up in Hyderabad, for almost an year now in Bangalore and a tamilian by heart and soul, the thair sadam girl in our clan I had difficulty with respect to my domicile. Au contraire I was fortunate to know people from various cities, their style of living, food culture and their stance on people from other communities.{Read the tamilians on Telugus and vice versa, The Kannadigas on Chennaities, The Iyer’s on Iyengar’s, The Reddy’s on the Brahmins so on so forth ….} Stand in T-Nagar {Tyagaraja Nagar, a popular street(?) in Chennai famous for shopping(?)) holler out “Karthik” and trust me atleast couple of guys would turn. Any permutation, combination of the ubiquitous Karthik say Karthik Narayan,Karthik Kannan, Karthik Kumar,Karthikeyan,Karthik Giri...suffix with it or prefix with it you name it you have it. They are mushroomed as much as the malls in Bangalore. I wonder parents’ affinity for naming

The Intangible & Amazing friendship

Image
" Good friends are hard to find difficult to leave and impossible to forget ". Friends mean a loot in everyone's life and play a vital role too.They are the elixer of our lives that makes us go around,brightning our lives & bringing sparkle to our eyes.Have a good friend in life and life is like " Bed of roses ".But a strain somewhere will make matters worse.It is a very fragile relation.When u have them u feel heaven but when u don't :(( . Not only do friends awaken the best within us,they also arouse our sense of friendliness-A friend's friend is a friend(An enemy's enemy is friend too;) jk) It is an absolutely unique relationship,strengthening with passage of time and withstanding all tests of time.Celebrated all over the world on First Sunday of August ,the origin is unclear.The U.S Congress sanctioned National Friendship day in 1935 as a special day to honour and celebrate friendships.In 1997,the U.N named Winnie The Pooh as the world's
