[Raj_Copi_Jin]

As for my posts and blogs, I have given up all my other hobbies like singing, playing veena, watching cartoons, animation movies and am spending EVERY minute of my free time in reading/ writing / typing/

I am also a workaholic to say the least.

This is what makes our family circle worried. I have got another friend who forgets everyone in real circle of relatives and

friends, after joining the FACE BOOK. Here is the write up about her in my other thread.

முகப் புத்தகத்தில் அகம் மகிழும் விநோதர்கள்!

அது என்ன விநோதர்கள்? வினோதமான மன நிலை கொண்டவர்களே அவர்கள்! வலைத் தளங்கள் மாய வலைகள்

என்று பல முறை எழுதிவிட்டேன். இருந்தாலும், இன்னொரு முறை எழுத வைக்கிறது என் நண்பியின் மன

மாற்றம். யார் வீட்டுக்கு வந்தாலும் அன்புடன் அரவணைத்து, வயிறார உணவு தரும் நல்ல மனம் கொண்டவள்.

சமீபத்தில் முகப் புத்தகத்தில் வந்த ஈடுபாட்டில், தன்னையே மறந்து நிற்கிறாள், இன்று! ஹாபி போல ஆரம்பித்தது,

இன்று முழு நேரே வேலையை விட அதிக நேரத்தை விழுங்குகிறது. பக்கம் பக்கமாக எழுதி, முகம் தெரியாத நட்பு

வட்டத்தை வளர்த்தி, நிஜமான உலகை மறந்து வெகு நாட்கள் ஆகிவிட்டன. தன் சுற்றத்தார் வருவதே, கொஞ்சம்

முகம் சுருங்க வைக்கிறது, இப்போது. தினப்படி வேலைகள் சுமையாக மாறிவிட்டன. சகலகலாவல்லி போல

இருந்தவள், சகலத்தையும் மறந்தே போய்விட்டாள்! தன் வாழ்வே வலை நட்புக்கு என்று அர்ப்பணிக்கும் நிலைக்கு

வந்துவிட்டாள். இதை எழுதும் நோக்கம் என்னவென்றால், இப் பக்கத்தைப் படித்தேனும், நிஜ உலகை மறக்கும் சிலர்

மனம் மாறுவரோ ஆதங்கம்தான்!

The goodness or the evil in the people is

LESS than what is being projected.

Goodness begets goodness.

Naughtiness begets Naughtiness.

Life is a perfectly polished MIRROR.

[TorryJens]

I have NOT given up my hobbies in order to write in the website.

It is the other way round.

Dancing is out of question - when I can't even walk confidently.

Playing veena requires the ability to sit on the floor or at least on a divan.

The first option has been ruled out long since.

The second one taxes the unsupported back.

Singing requires holding the breath or the song will be in bits and pieces without any continuity.

Also the sruthi keeps decreasing. So the time of singing has reduced slowly and steadily.

What else can I do to keep myself busy and active mentally.

We have to change with the changing abilities of the body.

Loneliness can lead to depression. Every one knows this.

An idle mind is a devil's workshop.

So to keep out the devil from its workshop and not to feel depressed,

I have to mingle with people real or virtual.

Nobody need worry about me in the family circle.

I feel more useful now than ever before - despite my limited physical abilities.

This is what makes our family circle worried. I have got another friend who forgets everyone in real circle of relatives and

friends, after joining the FACE BOOK. Here is the write up about her in my other thread.

Once Mr.Jawaharlal Nehru,Prime minister of India asked his Secretary Mr.H.V.R.Iyengar I.C.S. as to how many hours Mr.Iyengar was sleeping
and when Mr.Iyengar told him from 10Pm to 6 am,Mr.Nehru informed that, he as the Prime minister of India cannot have luxury of 8 hours sleep daily.
Mr.Nehru was sleeping only for 4 or5 hours daily.He was doing Yoga(Sirasasana)on a regular basis.

A word of caution to all the married ladies...
Never ever settle in peace with the imagination that the days of struggle with your dear mother in law are over.
There are one hundred people waiting to assume the role- of your age, your elders, your youngsters
(brace yourselves for the words that are going to follow) both male and female!
BEWARE.

"It is a challenge to prove that we too can talk amicably in a mature manner -
without bashing anyone."

This was my lofty aim in starting this new thread.
I thought people may like to patch up their differences.

It was supposed to be a patching ground for the
people pitched against one another elsewhere.

But now it is becoming a thread for
personal assaults and teasing "Yours faithfully"!

I gave 24 hours' time for people to enter the thread
with any useful information.

But people seem to be determined
to reduce this to a zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz thread.

So it will be made from made from a
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz thread into a real
sizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzling thread very soon!

# 1. ADAM.

Adam had the good fortune that what ever he said and did very REALLY original.

No one could tell him that he copied anyone else.

He is also the first man who listened to his wife and NOT

to his reason - setting a trend that is being austerely

followed even today.

So he was a real trend setter.

Now read the story of Sukanya (Courtesy Wilkipedia)

and answer the question at the end of the post.

In Hindu mythology, (Sanskrit: सुकन्*या) was the daughter of Shryayati, son of Vaivasvata Manu and the wife of the great sage Chyavana.[1]

The sage had spent so long in meditation that he was covered by a termite nest. The beautiful girl Sukanya came upon the nest and saw two shining objects inside. Not realizing these were the eyes of the sage, she poked playfully at them, and the sage was blinded.

Chyavana was enraged, and Sukanya's father placated him by offering her in marriage. After their marriage Sukanya served the sage cheerfully, despite his old age and blindness.

One day she was spotted by the Ashwini Kumaras, identical twins who served as physicians of the gods, who decided that her ethereal beauty was worthy of residence in heaven rather than languishing on the Earth serving an old blind sage. They asked her to marry one of them. Being a faithful wife, she vehemently objected to their request. Pleased with her devotion to her husband, the Ashwini Kumaras offered to restore her husband's youth and eyesight. The bargain was conditional on Sukanya's ability to distinguish her husband from the twins themselves. If she failed to do so they would return him to old age and blindness. All parties accepted these terms. The Ashwini Kumaras asked Chyavana to accompany them into the nearby pond. Being demigods, the Ashwini Kumas left no footprints on the bank as they exited the pond. Although the rejuvenated sage looked identical to the twins, he left footprints. The Ashwini Kumaras blessed the couple and left. In return they also requested that the sage give them a share of the sacrificial offerings in the future. This results in a conflict with the king of god, Indra.

#1. Riddle for today.

If Eve were asked to identify Adam from three or even

thirteen men similarly clad in leaves, could Eve spot

Adam from the rest of the look-alikes?

[tgs]

பசுத் தோல் போர்த்திய ஒரு சிங்கம்
சிங்கத் தோல் போர்த்திய ஒருபசுவை

நோக்கிச் சிரிப்பதும், சீண்டிச் சீறுவதும்
பாக்கிப் பேருக்கு நன்றாகத் தெரிகின்றதே!!!

பழுது போலத் தோன்றும் ஒரு பாம்பு,
பாம்பு போலத் தோன்றும் ஒரு பழுதைக்
கொத்திக் கலவரம் செய்வதும்
அத்தனை பேருக்கும் தெரிகின்றதே!!!

சிங்கம் உறும வேண்டும்; பாம்பு சீற வேண்டும்! இல்லையேல் zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz தான்!
ஆனாலும், ஒரு நாளுக்குள் சூடு பிடித்ததாகக் காட்சி அளிக்கிறது!

[HedgeYourBets]

You have time till 11 A.m tomorrow for answering the riddle about Adam.
In case no one answers it, I will give the answer with my next post in the same thread.

How the wives of identical twins live with their husbands?

[Paul Bunyan]

Dear Mr. Sangom,
If you do not read my posts then both of us are losers.
I miss a learned reader and you miss good posts -
those which appear in literature section especially.
Thanks for the prompt response.
with warm regards,
Mrs. V. R.

Mrs. V.R.

I am unable to look at bold fonts for more than a few seconds. So it takes much more time to read. That's why.

[Big A]

Dear Mr. Sangom,

I have problem with small thin letters and my silly mistakes do not show up in them.

What to do?

I have selected colors pleasant or cool to reduce the intensity of the bold letters.

May be I can type in a big font and reduce it before posting!

How about this post? Is it OK or is it better?

[Lillie_Steins]

Hoping that the loyal husbands will not go to the wrong wives!

Imagine if both the husbands and their wives are identical twins

and live in the same house.

May be then we don't have to worry about the confusion and mix

ups!

I came in eagerly hoping to see the answer to the Adam and Eve riddle!

Green as in post#11 is least troublesome to my eyes, pl. Thank you very much for being so considerate.

[Slonopotam845]

May be in a joint family it happens. It appears that such instances have
appeared in Tamil Movies. But I am told that such twins have their own
identification in their movements and sometimes with their behavioral
patterns etc. to avoid mix up and embarrassment amongst themselves.
We have twins in our family and we have not heard any such problems so far.
