Fruity truths

Image
What is the correct way of eating fruits? IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! FRUITS SHOULD BE  EATEN ON AN  EMPTY  STOMACH. If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities. FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD.Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so. In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.... So please eat your fruits on an  empty   stomach  or before your meals! You have heard people complaining  every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running...

Hats off young man!!!!!

Not Just for laugh

"WHAT IS AN AUDIT"? Once upon a time there was a shepherd looking after his sheep on the side of a deserted road. Suddenly a brand new Porsche screeches to a halt. The driver, a man dressed in an Armani suit, Cerutti shoes, Ray-Ban sunglasses, TAG-Heuer wrist-watch, and a Pierre Cardin tie gets out and asks the shepherd, 'If I can tell you how many sheep you have, will you give me one of them?' The shepherd looks at the young man, then looks at the large flock of grazing sheep and replies, 'Okay.' The young man parks the car, connects his laptop to the mobile-fax, enters a NASA Website, scans the ground using his GPRS, opens a database and 60 Excel tables filled with algorithms and pivot tables. He then prints out a 150-page report on his high-tech mini-printer, tu rns to the shepherd and says, 'You have exactly 1,586 sheep.' The shepherd cheers, 'That's correct, you can have your sheep.' The young man takes one of the animals from the flo...

Just for laughs

A man enters a barber shop for a shave. While the barber is foaming him up, he mentions the problems he has getting a close shave around the cheeks. "I have just the thing," says the barber taking a small wooden ball from a nearby drawer. "Just place this between your cheek and gum." The client places the ball in his mouth and the barber proceeds with the closest shave the man has ever experienced. After a few strokes, the client asks in garbled speech, "And what if I swallow it?" "No problem," says the barber. "Just bring it backtomorrow like everyone else does." The train was quite crowded, so a U. S. Marine walked the entire length looking for a seat, but the only seat left was taken by a well dressed, middle-aged, French woman's poodle... The war-weary Marine asked, 'Ma'am, may I have that seat? 'The French woman just sniffed and said to no one in particular 'Americans are so rude. My little Fifi is using that se...

Money is yours but resources belong to the society

From email: Germany is a highly industrialized country. It produces top brands likeBenz, BMW, Siemens etc. The nuclear reactor pump is made in a small town in this country. When I arrived at Hamburg, my colleagues who work in Hamburg arranged awelcome party for me in a restaurant. As we walked into the restaurant, we noticed that a lot of tables were empty. There was a table where a young couple was having their meal. There were only two dishes and two cans of beer on the table. I wondered if such simple meal could be romanctic.There were a few old ladies on another table. When a dish is served, thewaiter would distribute the food for them, and they would finish every bit of the food on their plates. We did not pay much attention to them, as we were looking forward to thedishes we ordered. As we were hungry, our local colleague ordered morefood for us. As the restaurant was quiet, the food came quite fast. Since there wereother activities arranged for us, we did not spend much time d...

Empower the rulers of tomorrow...

The celebration has begun in our state - for the politicians, I meant. Fire crackers, Drum beats, Garlands, parade of wasteful man power, rather youth power I would say. War of words, war of freebie schemes to hide their corrupt background between various political parties gallop. In the midst of such a scenario, it was an interesting exchange of questions and ideas within a group of youth. I peeked in the group and overheard the core of the arguement. It was about the current political condition, various parites contending in the forthcoming assembly elections, various freebies, schemes announced by different parties. I could see a sadness among all the faces in spite occasional laughter (probably to hide away the inherent inability to challenge the predicament of people). I understood that these young guns are not ignorant about the state of politics in our country. They knew every detail about the infamous 2G spectrum scam, Kalmadi game (common wealth game), Tehelka, bribing of MPs...

RUTH OF LIFE- A good story

Insight into Decision Making A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track.The train is coming, and you are just beside the track interchange. You can make the train change its course to the disused track and save most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way? Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make........ ........ and then scroll down for the details...Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. You might think the same way, I guess. Exactly, to save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally. But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the...

Prasanna Venkatachalapathy Perumal temple at Perumal malai

Image
The temple is at the top of Perumalmalai hills, 5 kms from Thuraiyur. This place is known as ‘Then Thirupathi’ of Trichy due to the many similarities to Thirupathi. There are seven hillocks to cross; Alarmelmangai Thayar is having a separate shrine; Govindharaja perumal in lying posture is having a temple at the foot hill; and there is a village known as Nagalapuram 5 kms away. Perumal malai is 960 feet high with 1532 steps to climb. There is also a motorable road to the top. It will take about 15 minutes in vehicle and about an hour in walking through steps. The temple was constructed by one of the grand sons of Karikala chola. The king, as per the advice of his Guru, meditated here to attain moksha and got the dharshan of Prasanna Venkatesa Perumal in marriage posture. The King was also blessed to be with the Perumal and Thayar as the kshetra balan (the man of the place). He is now known as Karuppanna Swamy or Veerappa Swamy and is having a separate shrine between the shrines of Peru...

பெருமாள் மலை

பெரம்பலூர் மாவட்டம், துறையூருக்கு ஐந்து கிலோமீட்டர் தொலைவிலிருக்கும் அழகான மலைக்கோவில்தான் பெருமாள் மலை. சுமார் ஆயிரத்து ஐந்நூறு படிகள் கொண்ட இந்த மலைக்கு வாகனங்கள் செல்ல வசதியாக சாலை போடப்பட்டிருக்கிறது. நான் பத்து, பன்னிரண்டு வயதிருக்கும்போது துறையூரிலிருந்து ஒவ்வொரு புரட்டாசி சனியன்றும் சென்று விடுவேன். வழி முழுவதும் விழாக்கோலம் பூண்டிருக்கும். ஆனால் இரண்டு படிக்கொரு பிச்சைக்காரரை பார்க்கலாம். "கண்ணில்லா பாவத்தைபாரு" என்ற ஓலக்குரல் இன்றும் என் காதில் விழுந்து கொண்டிருக்கிறது. கிட்ட தட்ட முப்பத்தி மூன்று வருடங்களுக்கு பிறகு பெருமாள் மலைக்கு செல்லும் வாய்ப்பு கிடைத்தது. கோவில் இப்போது மெருகு கூடி இருக்கிறது. ஓரளவு பெரிய வாகனங்கள் செல்லும் அளவுக்கு சாலை போட்டிருக்கிறார்கள். 'கிரிவலம்', உற்சவம் எல்லாம் அடிக்கடி நடக்கிறது. மலை உச்சியில் இருந்து துறையூரின் அழகை ரசிக்கலாம். அர்ச்சகர் கோவிலின் ஸ்தலப்புராணத்தை அர்ச்சனையோடு சேர்த்து சொல்லும்போது, "என்னப்பா, அர்ச்சனையில் ஐந்து கிலோமீட்டர்னு எல்லாம் வருது" என்று என் பையன் கேட்டபோது "கொல்" என்று அனைவரும்...
