My Memories with Taj - Mumbai

Image
என்று தணியும் இந்த வெறிச்செயல் தாகம் ? ஐயகோ ! கொழுந்து விட்டெரியும் மும்பையின் அடையாள சின்னம் . எலிபன்ட்டா குகை கோயில்களை கண்டு களித்துவிட்டு திரும்பி வரும்போது நம் கண்களை கொள்ளைகொள்வது இந்த காட்சிகள்தான். தாஜ் ஓட்டலின் பழைய மற்றும் புதிய கட்டிடங்கள். அழகிய தாஜ் ஓட்டலின் முன்புறம் பட படவென சிறகடிக்கும் புறாக்களுக்கு நடுவில் நின்று கொண்டு படம் எடுத்து கொள்ளாதவர்கள் ஏது .

Prayer - Show of Gratitude It was a Monday morning. After dressing up, Bommi got on with her next routine of taking breakfast. She sat next to her younger brother. She had to finish her breakfast as early as possible and proceed to her school which is four kilometers away from her house. Her quarterly Examinations starts on that day. She usually prepares well even for class tests. Being a class first student, she carries the responsibility of keeping her position intact. Her Mother brought Hot idlies on a plate and served. Her mother is a woman of stature and she has role modeled, not only Bommi, but also many of her students. Being a school teacher and mother brings immense satisfaction to her and She enjoys the responsibility. "Bommi, Did you offer your prayers after taking bath?" asked Viji, Bommi's mother. "No Amma" replied Bommi hesitantly. "Go, Bommi. Its very important to offer prayers before you do anything" said Viji, in a clear tone. By natu...

Sardarji Jokes - Read this before you crack one more

Image
We all love Sardar jokes. But do you know that Sikhs are one of the most hard working prosperous and diversified communities in the world. My friend told me about the following incident which I wish to share with you. It has had a deep impact on my thinking. During last vacation, my few friends went to Delhi. They rented a taxi for local sight-seeing. The driver was an old Sardar and boys being boys, these pals began cracking Sardarji jokes, just to tease the old man. But to their surprise, the fellow remained unperturbed. At the end of the sight-seeing, they paid the cab hire-charges. The Sardar returned the change, but he gave each one of them one rupee extra and said, 'Son, since morning you have been telling Sardarji jokes. I listened to them all and let me tell you, some of them were in bad taste. Still, I don't mind coz I know that you are young blood and are yet to see the world. But I have one request. I am giving you one rupee each. Give it to the first Sar...

Kinder Garten teachings - From email

Robert Faughum wrote All I Ever Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. " Most of what I really need to know about life, I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the tip of the graduate school mountain, but here in the sandbox at nursery school. These are the things I learned: - Share everything. - Play fair. - Don't hit people. - Put things back where you found them. - Clean up your own mess. - Don't take things that aren't yours. - Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. - Wash your hands before you eat. - Flush! - Live a balanced life. - Learn and think, draw and paint, sing and dance, play and work a little every day. - When you get out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup. The roots go down and the plant goes up, and nobody really knows why, but we are all like that. Goldfish, hamsters, white mice, and even the little seed in the plastic cup—they al...

You are the candle

This indeed is a most difficult period for any government, which finds itself in a state of paralysis. That the power demand increasing day by day like the inflation rate and there is acute shortage of power generation due to various reasons. The state of Tamil nadu hasn't come across this kind of situation before. All of us are habituated to 24 hours of electricity, without which our daily life will come to a standstill. Starting from cooking, bathing, sleeping and most importantly watching our favourite program on cable TV, electricity has been our life breath. Unfortunately we are allowed to breath only for 19 hours a day(If we are lucky). But in My place (Neyveli), it is very much different. Because we are the supplier of life breath, so we take the luxury of breathing for 48 hours in a day. I can understand that, you are steaming while you read this phrase. For your comfort, it happened last week. Yes, there was power cut in our area for few hours. Not due to shortage of power...
