#146. “Try everything once!”
Reading the sad and disturbing news item about the grim faced super star of
Hollywood S.S. made me remember the novel by ‘Sujatha’ “எதையும் ஒரு முறை”
When the money flows under one’s feet like a river …
and time limits and constraints have no place in one’s life…
the person starts experimenting with the EVIL in every form.
Most people remain virtuous ONLY because they can not afford the bad habits!!!
#147. NEVER criticize.
Two men were drooling over the sexy attractive photo of an upcoming starlet.
“What will you get if you remove her lips and curves?” asked the first man.
“MY wife!” said the second man crestfallen!
“IF she had them, WHY would she marry YOU?” asked the first man.
NEVER criticize the faults of your wife.
BUT FOR THOSE, she would not have ended up becoming YOUR wife!
#148. Communication!
A Little fellow has an interesting way of communicating.
If he gets hurt he won’t say “I got hurt”
but he will ask “Did you get hurt?”
His other wishes are passed on to us in the same questioning form!
“Do you want to go out?”
“Do you want to play in the basement?”
“Do you want to go to the park”
In short he repeats the question we put to him –
in order to get his message across.
Today’s special dialogues are
“பாத்துப் போ தாத்தா!”
directed to his grand father,
“ஓ பகவானே!
இந்தப் பாட்டியும் புஜ்ஜியும்!”
directed to hid grandma
who calls him as “Bujjik kannaa!”
“இந்தக் குட்டியை வைச்சுண்டு
என்ன தான் பண்ணுவேனோ!”
directed to his desperate mother.
He troubles us first and then saves us
the trouble of complaining about HIMSELF!!!
#149. ‘Pain in the neck!’
Never sympathize a person with a ‘pain in the neck!’
It is God’s way or repaying him /her for
what he/she hands out to the others!!!
At the most you can say with rhyme
“THE pain in the neck with
A pain in the neck!”
#150. Play School
On the first day in the play school my little grandson
cried for his mommy till the teacher had to give in!
On the second he cried a little but made new friends.
On the third day he did not cry and learned to sing “Do re me”
He has school only twice a week in August and
for four days a week from September onwards.
Now he cries saying that he wants to go to school EVERYDAY !!!
Life is like that!!!
