The E - life

The ...E... life !!!!!

In this world of E-mails, E-ticket, E-paper, E-recharge, E-transfer and the latest E-Governance...

Never Forget "E-shwar ( God )"

who makes e-verything e-asy for e-veryone e-veryday.

"E" is the most Eminent letter of the English alphabet.

Men or Women don't exist without "E".

House or Home can't be made without "E".

Bread or Butter can't be found without "E".

"E" is the beginning of "existence" and the end of "trouble."

It's not at all in 'war'
but twice in 'peace'.

It's once in 'hell' but twice in 'heaven'.

"E" represented in 'Emotions'
Hence,  all emotional relations like Father, Mother, Brother, Sister,wife & friends have 'e' in them.

"E" also represents 'Effort' & 'Energy'
Hence to be 'Better' from good both "e" 's are added.

Without "e", we would have no love, life, wife, friends or hope

& 'see', 'hear', 'smell', or 'taste' as 'eye' 'ear', 'nose' & 'tongue' are incomplete without "e".

Hence GO with "E" but without
E-GO.

The secret to a happy married life

THE SECRET TO A HAPPY MARRIED LIFE-

Once I asked my friend, "What is the secret behind your Happy Married Life?" 

He said "You should share responsibilities with due love and respect each other. Then absolutely there will be no problems."

I asked "Can you explain?"

He said "In my house, I take decisions on bigger issues where as my Wife decides on smaller issues. We do not interfere in each other's decisions."

Still not convinced, i asked him "Give me some examples".

He said "Smaller issues like, which car we should buy, how much amount to save, when to visit the super market, when & where to go on vacation, which sofa, air conditioner, refrigerator to buy. Monthly expenses, whether to keep a maid or not etc. Are all decided by my wife. I just agree to it "

I asked "Then, what is your role?"

He said "My decisions are only for very big issues. Like whether America should attack Iran, whether Britain should lift sanctions over Zimbabwe, whether Dhoni should retire from Cricket , Whom should Salman Khan Marry. etc etc. and do you know, my wife; NEVER, objects to any of these decisions"...

Problems are necessary for life - Tamil story

ஒரு குட்டிக் கதை...

கடவுளிடம் ஒரு விவசாயி கடுமையாகச் சண்டைக்குப் போனான்.

”உனக்குப் பயிர்களைப் பற்றி என்ன
தெரியும்? நீ  நினைத்தபோது மழையை
அனுப்புகிறாய். தப்பான சமயத்தில் காற்றை
வீசுகிறாய். உன்னால் பெரிய தொந்தரவாக இருக்கிறது.

பேசாமல்,
இந்த வேலைகளை விவசாயி ஒருத்தனிடம் ஒப்படைத்துவிடேன்!”
என்றான்.

கடவுள் உடனே,
“ அப்படியா? சரி.  இனிமேல் வெளிச்சம், மழை, காற்று எல்லாம் உன் கட்டுப்பாட்டிலேயே இருக்கட்டும்” என்று வரம் அருளிவிட்டுப்
போய்விட்டார்.

விவசாயிக்கு சந்தோஷம் பிடிபடவில்லை.

அடுத்த விதைப்பிற்கான பருவம் வந்தது.

”மழையே பெய்” என்றான்.

பெய்தது.

நிறுத்தச் சொன்னபோது,
மழை நின்றது.

ஈரமான நிலத்தை உழுதான்.

தேவையான வேகத்தில் காற்றை வீசச் செய்து,  விதையை தூவினான்.

மழை, வெயில், காற்று எல்லாமே அவன் சொன்ன பேச்சைக் கேட்டன.

பயிர் பச்சைப்பசேல் என வளர்ந்தது.

வயல்வெளியைப் பார்க்கவே மிகவும் ரம்மியமாக இருந்தது.

அறுவடைக் காலமும் வந்தது.

விவசாயி ஒரு கதிரை அறுத்தான். அதனை உதிர்த்து, திறந்து பார்த்தான்.

அதிர்ந்தான்.

உள்ளே தானியத்தைக் காணவில்லை, மிகச் சிறிய பதர்தான் இருந்தது.

அடுத்தது, அதற்கடுத்தது என்று ஒவ்வொரு தானியக்கதிராக வெட்டி எடுத்து உடைத்துப் பார்த்தால் ஒன்றிலுமே தானியம் இல்லை.

”ஏ கடவுளே!” என்று கோபத்தோடு கூப்பிட்டான்.

“மழை, வெயில், காற்று எல்லாவற்றையுமே மிகச் சரியான விகிதங்களில்தானே பயன்படுத்தினேன்! ஆனாலும், பயிர்கள் பாழாகிவிட்டதே, ஏன்?” எனக்கேட்டான்.

கடவுள் புன்னகைத்தார்:
“என் கட்டுப்பாட்டில் இருந்தபோது காற்று வேகமாக வீசும். அப்போது பயிர்களெல்லாம், அம்மாவை இறுக்கிக்கொள்ளும் குழந்தைகளைப்போல பூமிக்குள் தங்கள் வேர்களை மிக ஆழமாக அனுப்பிப் பிடித்துக்கொள்ளும்.

மழை குறைந்தால், தண்ணீரைத் தேடி வேர்களை நாலாபக்கமும் அனுப்பும்.

போராட்டம் இருந்தால்தான் தாவரங்கள் தங்களைப் பாதுகாத்துக்கொண்டு, வலுவாக வளரும்.

எல்லாமே வசதியாக
அமைத்துக் கொடுத்ததில் உன் பயிர்களுக்கு சோம்பேறித்தனம் வந்துவிட்டது.

தளதளவென்று வளர்ந்ததே தவிர, ஆரோக்கியமான தானியங்களைக் கொடுக்க அவற்றிற்கு தெரியவில்லை!” என்றார்.

வேண்டாமய்யா, உன் மழையும் காற்றும்! நீயே வைத்துக்கொள்” என்று கடவுளிடமே அவற்றைத் திருப்பித் தந்துவிட்டான் விவசாயி.

பிரச்சினைகள் உங்களைப் போட்டு அழுத்தும்போதுதான், உங்களின் திறமை அதிகரிக்கும்.

இருட்டு என்று ஒரு பிரச்சினை இருந்ததால்தான் மின்விளக்கு கண்டுபிடிக்கப்பட்டது.

பயணம் என்பது பிரச்சினையானபோதுதான் வாகனம் உருவானது.

பிரச்சினைகளே இல்லாமல் இருந்துவிட்டால் நம் மூளையின் திறனை எவ்வாறு அறிவீர்கள்?
பிரச்சினை இல்லாத வாழ்க்கைதான் சபிக்கப்பட்ட வாழ்க்கை..
எதிர்பாராத திருப்பங்கள்தானே நம் வாழ்க்கையைச் சுவையாக அமைத்துத் தரமுடியும்.

Men will never learn

A woman and a man are involved in a car accident.

It's a bad collision , caused by the woman's reckless driving.

Both of their cars
are demolished but amazingly neither of them are hurt.

After they crawl out of their cars, the woman says;

"So, you're a handsome man. That's interesting. I'm a woman.

Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left, but fortunately we are unhurt.

This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days."

The man replied," I agree with you completely. This must be a sign from God!

The woman continued, "And look at this, here's another miracle.

My car is completely damaged, but this bottle of wine didn't break.

Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune together."
Then she hands the bottle to the man seductively.

The man nods his head in agreement, opens it, drinks half the bottle and then hands it back to the woman.

The woman takes the bottle, immediately puts the cap back on, and hands it back to the man.

The man asks, "Aren't you having any?"

She replies, "Nah. I think I'll just wait for the police to come and collect their evidence."

ADAM  ATE  THE  APPLE AGAIN ! !

Men will NEVER learn !

Why woman lie

Why Women Lie​:

One day, when a tailor was sewing while sitting close to a river, her thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, 'My dear child, why are you crying?'

The woman replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband in making a living for their family.

The Lord dipped His hand into the water and pulled up a golden thimble set with sapphires.

'Is this your thimble?' the Lord asked. She replied, 'No.'

The Lord again dipped into the river. He held out a golden thimble studded with rubies.
'Is this your thimble?' the Lord asked. Again, she replied, 'No.'

The Lord reached down again and came up with a leather thimble.
'Is this your thimble ?' the Lord asked. She replied, 'Yes'

The Lord was pleased with the woman's honesty and gave her all three thimbles to keep, and the seamstress went home happy.

Some years later, the same woman was walking with her husband along the riverbank, and her husband fell into the river and disappeared under the water.

When she cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked her, 'Why are you crying?' 'Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into the river!'

The Lord went down into the water and came up with George Clooney. 'Is this your husband?' the Lord asked.

'Yes,' cried the woman.  The Lord was furious. 'You lied! That is an untruth!'

The woman replied, 'Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding.

You see, if I had said 'no' to George Clooney, you would have come up with Brad Pitt.
Then if I said 'no' to him, you would have come up with my husband.

Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I'm not in the best of health and would not be able to take care of all three husbands, so THAT'S why I said 'yes' to George Clooney.
And so the Lord let her keep him.

The moral of this story is:
Whenever a woman lies, it's for a good and honorable reason, and in the best interest of others.

That's our story, and we're sticking to it.

Signed,

All Women

Give time to your family

After doing exhausted work, father come to home at 9 30 PM.
Their 5-year-old son who was waiting eagerly opens the door.
Son:Can I ask you a questions?
Father: Yes
Son: Dad, how much money do you get paid for an hour?
Father: Why ?
Son: Please tell.
Father: Rs 500 per hour
Son: Dad, Can you lend me 250 rs ?
Angry father yells at son and orders him to go to sleep.
The son went into the bedroom and closed the door.
After a little while, father calm down and went to his son's bedroom.
He said sorry to him and gave 250 rs to the child
and said buy what you want.
Son: Thank You
He then opened his own money box
And then he began to count the money
He said, Now I have Rs 500 deposit
Can I buy an hour of yours ?
Tomorrow will you please come home early by an hour ,
I want to have dinner with you.
Being emotional, father hugged his son.

We work hard to get the money,
But don't give time to one who loves us a lot.
If you die tomorrow, the company for which you were working so hard will easily replace you by someone else.
But
Family and friends who love you much
will miss you forever.
We give much more importance to our work than our loved once.
Give time to your family

Why woman are so special

WHY WOMEN ARE SO SPECIAL . . .

Mum and Dad were watching TV when Mum said, "I'm tired, and it's getting late. I think I'll go to bed."

She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's. Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning.

She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes into the washer, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button.

She picked up the game pieces left on the table, put the phone back on the charger and put the telephone book into the drawer.

She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry. She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom.

She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the  teacher, counted out some cash for the excursion and pulled a text book out  from  hiding under the chair.

She signed a birthday card for a  friend, addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note  for the  grocery store. She put both near her bag. 

Mum then washed her face with 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her Night Solution & age fighting moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth and filed her nails.

Dad called out, "I thought you were going to bed."

"I'm on my way," she said.

She put some water into the dog's dish and put the cat outside, then made sure the doors were locked and the patio light was on.

She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their bedside lamps and radios, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks into the hamper, and had a brief conversation with the one up still doing homework.

In her own room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next day, straightened up the shoe rack.

She added three things to her 6 most important things to do list.

She said her prayers, and visualized the accomplishment of her goals.

About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no one in particular. "I'm going to bed.".

And he did...without another thought.

Anything extraordinary here?

Wonder why women live longer...?

'CAUSE THEY ARE MADE FOR THE LONG HAUL....... (and they can't die sooner, they still have things to do!!!!)

Send this to five phenomenal women today...they'll love you for it! And Forward this to as many men as you can so that they know why women are so special :) .........!  God's very own creation! :)

Kids - story telling

Awesomee ......A story in one of the schools in Chennai where admission is considered impossible!!!

To get UKG admission

The child could not understand why they brought her there..

When we all were standing, the school principal started to converse with the child....yes...in English only! This is one of the most memorable interview I have ever witnessed in my life..
Here goes..

"What's your name?"

"Sarithra"

"Good. Tell me something you know"

"I know many things. Tell me what you want...!"

Alas, there is no better point for not getting the admission!

Sarithra's mother was trying to make up the situation but the principal stopped her..

Turning to child, she said.. "Tell any rhyme or story which you know.."

Again,"Which one you want.. Rhyme or Story!?"

"Ok. Plz tell me a story.."

"Do uou want to hear what I studied or what I wrote..!?"

Taken to surprise, she asked "Oh! you write stories...???"

"Why should I not write..?"

Now even I was taken aback But she was impressed with the answer. She ( including us) would have not heard such a story in our life...

Ok, tell me story which you have written-?

Sarithra said "Ravanan kidnapped Sita & took her to Srilanka"

The opening scene failed to impress but still she encouraged the child to continue..

"Rama asked Hanumans help to rescue Sita. Hanuman too agreed to help Rama ..."

"Then?"

"Now, Hanuman called his friend Spider man." No one expected this twist in the story!!

"Why?"

"Because there are lot of mountains between India and Srilanka.. but if we have Spiderman we can go easily with his rope..."

"But Hanuman can fly isn't it.. ?"

"Yes. But he is having Sanjeevi Mountain on one hand so he cannot fly very fast.!"

All is quiet, after a while Sarithra asked "Should I continue or not?.".

"Ok plz continue!"

"Hanuman and Spiderman flew to Srilanka and rescued Sita. Sita said Thanks to both!"

"Why"

"When you are helped you should say Thanks!"

So Sita requested Hanuman to call Hulk..."

All were surprised.She realized our curiosity and said " Now Sita is there, so to take her safely back to Rama she called Hulk"

"What??? "Hanuman can carry Sita right?"

"Yes. But he has Sanjeevi Mountain in one hand and has to hold spider man on the other"

No one could control thier smiles. " So when they all started to India they met my friend Akshay! "

"How come Akshay there now?"

"Because its my story and I can bring any one there!"

The principal didn't get angry but waited for the next twist

Then all started to India and landed at Chennai Velechery bus stop!

Now I asked,"Why they have landed In Velechery bus stop?

"Because they forgot the way..& Hulk got an idea and called Dora!"

I came to know about Dora only there...!

"Dora came and she took Sita to Velechery Venus Colony...that's all!"

She finished the story with a smile..

The principal asks "Why venus Colony...?"

"Because sita lives there & i am Sita!!!"

The principal was impressed and embraced the child. She has been admitted in UKG & was gifted with a Dora doll...

Kids can really amaze... but we clip their wings (creativity) expecting them to do things as we see it right & not from their viewpoint.

Let's give every child freedom to do their own thing & watch their dreams come true...

Winter baby care

Those of you who are new parents will agree wholeheartedly that caring for babies is a daunting task in any season. Baby care is a specialized subject which requires 100% commitment from parents. If you have a support system consisting of doting grandparents, adoring aunts, fawning friends, dependable paediatricians and even the neighbour ladies who will drop in to care for the baby, you are one of those lucky people who will breeze through the initial months of baby care.

What next moments

All parents face those moments of uncertainty when the baby just won't stop crying. You have tried all known remedies. After spending yet another sleepless night nursing your baby, you make a resolve that you are going to be more careful in the future. Truth is no matter how hard the parents try, babies will fall sick. But one can take certain precautions during all seasons of the year to see that the instances of illness are infrequent and discomfort to the baby is minimal.

Common Winter Illnesses

Winter does bring some respite from the humid and sultry months, but it also brings its own set of challenges. As the baby's immune system is still developing, they tend to be vulnerable to common cold and other winter illnesses like flu, viral fever, meningitis, pneumonia and bronchiolitis. Ear infections are very common in winter, and your baby can cry for hours without anyone being the wiser about what is causing your infant the discomfort.

Baby Care in Winter Months

Take these simple measures during winter months:

Wash your baby's hands frequently to protect them against cold and flu.

Do not allow sick people to get close to your baby.

Avoid crowded places.

Ensure your baby's vaccinations are up-to-date.

Keep your baby hydrated at all times to protect them against infections.

Stay away from smoke and sprays.

Maintain good overall hygiene standards at home.

Keep your baby warm at all times. Buy winter clothes including mittens, socks and leggings made of materials like wool or flannel.

Most important of all, the most effective to boost your baby's immune system is to breastfeed them.

Disclaimer

The aim of the article is to be informative in a general sort of way. Do consult your doctor for qualified medical instructions about how to care for your baby. Do get your child examined in all cases of illness or discomfort to the child, without exceptions.

Be humble,there is always someone bigger

Worth reading...

Dilip Kumar himself narrated this incident.
At his peak, the star was travelling by plane. The passenger sitting next was elderly. Dressed in a very simple bush shirt and pant, his apparel projected a middle class. He appeared well educated.
Passengers on the aircraft snatched glances of the renowned Dilip Kumar. Yet, the gentleman appeared unconcerned. He read his newspaper, then looked out of the window.
When tea came, he sipped it without any notice of Dilip Kumar who sat with him.
It made Dilip Kumar uneasy.
Trying to strike a conversation, he smiled.
The courteous man smiled back and said hello.
Dilip somehow brought the subject to films and asked,
"Do you watch films?"
The man replied,
"Oh, very few. I did see one many years ago"
Dilip casually mentioned that he himself worked in films.
Man; "Oh, that's nice. What do you do?"
Dilip Kumar; "I am a film actor"
Man; "Oh, wonderful?"
There was no further response.

When the flight landed and both stood up, Dilip Kumar held out his hand,
"It was good to travel with you. By the way, my name is Dilip Kumar"
The man shook hand and smiled,
"Thank you. I am J.R.D. Tata"

For all who think that he is big, there is always someone bigger....
Be humble...
It costs nothing.

There are no unanswered prayers

Beautiful message from Lord Krishna (Bhagawat Geetha)..

Me- I can’t find free time. Life has become hectic.

KRISHNA : Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you free.

Me :why has life become complicated now?

KRISHNA : Stop analyzing life.. It makes it complicated. Just live it.

Me : Why are we then constantly unhappy?

KRISHNA : Worrying has become your
habit. That’s why you are not happy.

Me: why do good people always suffer?

KRISHNA : Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don’t suffer.
With that experience their life becomes better, not bitter.

Me : You mean to say such experience is useful?

KRISHNA : Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.

Me : Because of so many problems, we don’t know where we are heading…

KRISHNA : If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides the way.

Me :  does failure hurt
more than moving in the right direction?

KRISHNA : Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you.

Me : In tough times, how do you stay motivated?

KRISHNA : Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.

Me : What surprises you about people?

KRISHNA : When they suffer they ask, “why me?” When they prosper, they never ask “Why me?”

Me : How can I get the best out of life?

KRISHNA : Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.

Me : One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.

KRISHNA : There are no unanswered prayers.  Keep the faith and drop the fear.  Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live.

My wife, my wealth

My Wife, My Wealth"

by the Oshwal Community, that usually has the surname Shah, has some of the wealthiest people in Kenya.

Many members own top of the range supermarkets, shopping malls, and factories. And the experience of interacting with the top leadership of the community was a major eye opener for me.

When I asked one of the leaders why the community appears to prosper- far more than others:- he gave me a very interesting answer:

"My wife, my wealth" Principle.

He explained to me that they learnt that treating their women well has some very Tangible Benefits. According to them,  women are like nature- they multiply what you give them, and give it back to you. They are taught- right early in life to treat their women right, irrespective

"If you give a woman a small seed, after nine months, she will give you a bouncing baby" he started. in a poetic way he continued...

If you give a woman love, she will adore you,

If you give a woman respect and honor, she will worship you,

If you give a woman time, she will give you a Life Time,

If you give a woman money, she will give you an investment.

On the contrary,

If you you give a woman slaps, life will slap you back.

If you oppress your woman, society will oppress you.

He then went ahead to give several examples of societies and communities that mistreat their women. He particularly pointed out at a world famous religion that oppresses its women- and showed me how they are at war with basically every one, and everywhere across the globe.

He then told me to open my eyes, and observe, with complete honesty anyone that treats his wife like trash, and follow how they end up. Or observe anyone that treats his wife like a queen and see how they end up.

He further reiterated, You all men will have to try it, after having lived on your ways for decades, just try this Principle for couple of years, you will be amazed to see your prosperity too.

Believe in "MY WIFE, MY WEALTH" Principle.

Why planning is important

Why Planning is important?

One Night 4 college students were playing till late night and could not study for the test which was scheduled for the next day.
 
In the morning they thought of a plan. They made themselves look as dirty with grease and dirt. They then went up to the Dean and said that they had gone out to a wedding last night and on their return the tyre of their car burst and they had to push the car all the way back and that they were in no condition to appear for the test.
 
So the Dean said they could have the re-test after 3 days. They thanked him and said they would be ready by that time.
 
On the third day they appeared before the Dean. The Dean said that as this was a Special Condition Test, all four were required to sit in separate classrooms for the test. They all agreed as they had prepared well in the last 3 days.

The Test consisted of 2 questions with a total of 100 Marks.

Go not to temple by Rabindranath Tagore

So beautiful! It's so true. Go not to the temple
by Rabindranath Tagore:

Go not to the temple to put flowers upon the feet of God,
First fill your own house with the Fragrance of love and kindness.

Go not to the temple to light candles before the altar of God,
First remove the darkness of sin , pride and ego,
from your heart...

Go not to the temple to bow down your head in prayer,
First learn to bow in humility before your fellowmen.
And apologise to those you have wronged.

Go not to the temple to pray on bended knees,
First bend down to lift someone who is down-trodden.
And strengthen the young ones. 
Not crush them.

Go not to the temple to ask for forgiveness for your sins,
First forgive from your heart those who have hurt  you!

Very Very Beautiful.

Unknown facts about fever

What is fever

A fever is caused by a number of medical conditions ranging from viral, bacterial and parasitic infections. Fever is one of the medical signs, an objective indication of some medical fact or characteristic that may be detected by a physician. Fevers do not normally go beyond 410 C to 420 C (or 105.60 F to 107.60F).

A trying time

A condition like the fever in children is a real test of parents' patience and parenting skills as younger the children the scarier it is for the parents. Fever makes children cranky and  restless. Sleep eludes them and high fever causes children to whimper through the night, giving the parents some anxious moments. Parents sometimes blame themselves for not being careful enough.

How to deal with fever

Understand that falling sick is part of growing up and no matter how careful parents are, kids will fall sick at some stage. But it is important for parents not to panic. First check the temperature using a standard digital thermometer or a temporal artery scanner. Use a rectal thermometer for infants and young children.

When to worry

Consult your doctor immediately in the following cases:

The normal body temperature of humans is typically between 37.50 C to 38.30 C (99.50 F to 100.90 F). Call a doctor if it is higher than 1040 F (> 400 C).
A fever may be a child's response to something more serious.
The child is younger than 3 months of age.
The fever lasts more than five days. The underlying causes may need to be investigated further.
The fever unresponsive to fever reducers.
The child was recently immunized and has a temperature above 102º F or a fever for more than 48 hours.
The child is difficult to arouse, or is not taking in enough liquids.
As parents, your instincts tell you something is not quite right.

When to take it easy

Do not worry when your child continues to be playful and is eating and drinking normally in spite of having a fever.
Temperatures of up to 102.50 F if your child is 3 months to 3 years of age, or up to 1030 F if your child is older. These temperatures can be common, but not necessarily worrisome.
If the child was recently immunized, the fever can be normal if they last less than 48 hours.

Disclaimer

The aim of the article is to be informative in a general sort of way. DO CONSULT your doctor and get your child examined in all cases, without exceptions.

Peaceful mind can think better

Worth reading....

Once there was a farmer who discovered that he had lost his watch in the farm. It was not an ordinary watch because it had sentimental value for him.
After searching the hay for a long while, he gave up and
call the help of a group of children playing outside the
barn.
He promised them that, the person who found it, would
be rewarded.
Hearing this, the children hurried inside the barn, went
through and around the hay but still could not find the
watch. Just when the farmer was about to give up looking for his watch, a little boy went up to him and asked to be given another chance.The farmer looked at him and thought, “Why not.? After all, this kid looks sincere enough.”
So the farmer sent the little boy back in the barn. After a while the little boy came out with the watch in his hand.
The farmer was happy and surprised and so he asked
the boy how he succeeded where the rest had failed.
The boy replied, “I did nothing but sit on the ground and listen. In the silence, I heard the ticking of the watch and just looked for it in that direction.”
MESSAGE : A Peaceful mind can think better than a
Worked up mind. Allow a few minutes of Silence to your
mind every day, and see, how sharply it helps u to set your life the way you expect it to be.

MORAL : The soul always knows what to do to heal itself...
The challenge is to silence the mind…

Busy life

Nowadays life has become very busy. Every one is passing through hectic schedule. We have no time for our family members, relatives and friends rather we have no time even for us. Due to this fact, family get together functions are very important.

According to a maxim " Variety is the spice of life ". It is the nature of the man that he likes change in life. After doing a lot of hard work and passing through hectic schedule in daily life, he needs some relaxation so that he can acquire energy to start his busy life again. In any case of life, monotony and excess of work can affect the quality of work, so activities like get- together functions help the man recharge him.

Besides the previously mentioned advantage, one other advantage of get together functions is that people can come close to one another. They can discuss their problems with each other and get solutions of their problems; as the maxim says " one hand washes the other ".

Moreover, the other benefit of these functions is the enjoyment, entertainment, exposure and learning. Meeting different people is always an exciting and interesting experience. We can get valuable knowledge and explore new ways in life by meeting people. None of us has sound knowledge in every field of life so these get together functions can be best sources of learning by sharing and exchange of knowledge with people.

Prayer - Tamil story

ஒரு உல்லாச கப்பல் கடலில் சென்ற போது அடித்த புயலினால் உடைந்தது. அதில் இருந்த இரு ஆண்கள் மட்டுமே தப்பி நீந்தி வந்து அருகில் உள்ள ஒரு சிறிய தீவை சென்று அடைந்தனர். அந்த இருவரும் அந்தஸ்த்தில் வேறு பட்டவர்கள், ஒரே நிறுவனத்தில் எரே இடத்தில் பணிபுரியும் சூழ்நிலையால் நண்பர்கள் ஆனவர்கள்.
அந்த தீவில் வெறும் புற்களும் புதர்களும் மட்டுமே இருந்தது. சாப்பிடவோ ஒதுங்க நிழலுக்கு மரம் கூட இல்லாதிருந்தது..!
அவர்களுக்கு என்ன செய்வது என்பதே தெரிய வில்லை. முடிவில் இருவரும் கடவுளை வேண்டிக் கொள்வது என்று முடிவு செய்தனர். 
அப்போது யாருடைய பிரார்த்தனைக்கு அதிக சக்தி இருக்கிறது பார்ப்போம் என்றும் முடிவு செய்தனர்.
அதன்படி அந்த தீவின் இருகரைகளிலும் தனி தனியாக தங்குவதற்கு உடன்பட்டனர். முதலில் இருவரும் உணவுக்காக பிரார்த்தனை செய்தனர். அவர்களின் பிரார்த்தனை படி வசதியானவன் இருந்த பகுதிக்கு சில பழங்கள் மிதந்து வந்தன.
அதை அவன் சாப்பிட்டான் ஆனால் ஏழையோ சாப்பிட ஏதும் கிடைக்காமல் பசியோடு இருந்தான். பசியாறிய மனிதனுக்கோ போரடித்தது, தனக்கு அருகில் மனைவியாக ஒரு பெண் இருந்தால் நன்றாக இருக்குமே என்று வேண்டினான்.
அவனது ஆச்சர்யமாக அவன் வேண்டுதல் படியே அந்த தீவுக்கு அருகில் வந்த சிறிய கப்பல் உடைந்து அதில் இருந்த ஒரு அழகிய இளம் பெண் மட்டும் உயிர் தப்பி ஒரு உடைந்த பலகை உதவியுடன் அந்த தீவிற்கு வந்து சேர்ந்தாள். அவளைப் பார்த்ததும் அவள் அழகில் சொக்கி போய் அவளையே தெய்வ சாட்சியாக திருமணம் செய்து கொண்டான்.
தீவின் மற்றொரு பக்கம் இருந்தவன் இன்னும் பசியால் தனிமையில் இருந்தான்.
முதல் மனிதன் செய்த வேண்டுதல் படி நல்ல உணவுகள், துணிகள், எல்லாம் அவன் இருந்த பகுதிக்கு மட்டுமே மந்திரம் செய்தால் போல கரை ஒதுங்கின. ஆனால் அவன் நண்பனுக்கோ ஒன்றும் கிடைக்கவில்லை. அவன் உருக்குலைந்து போனான்.
ஆனால் புது ஜோடிகளோ வந்த பழங்கள் உணவுகளுடன் இருவரும் ஒரு வாரகாலம் உல்லாசமாக களித்தனர்.
இப்படியாக ஒரு வாரம் கழிந்தது இறுதியாக முதல் மனிதன் தன் புது மனைவியுடன் தன் சொந்த இடத்துக்கு போவதற்கு வேண்டி ஒரு படகுக்காக வேண்டினான்.
அதுவும் அதிசயம் போல அடுத்த நாளே கரை ஒதுங்கியது. முதல் மனிதன் தனது பிரார்த்தனையின் சக்தி கண்டு மிகுந்த மகிழ்ச்சியில், துரதிஷ்டம் மிக்க தன் நண்பனை அழைக்காமல் தன் புது மனைவியுடன் அதில் ஏறி அந்த தீவை விட்டு செல்ல ஆயுத்தமானான். இது ஏதும் அறியாத அந்த இன்னு மொருவன் இன்னும் பசியாறாமல் கூட வேதனையில் வாடினான்..?
எல்லாம் கிடைத்த நண்பன் நினைத்தான், தன் நண்பன் ஓன்றுக்கும் உதவாதவன் கடவுளின் ஆசிர்வாதம் கூட அவனுக்கு கிடைக்க வில்லை, ஒரு சிறு பிரார்தனையைக் கூட கடவுள் நிறைவேற்றி வைக்க வில்லை. ஏற்கனவே ஏழை வேறு.. அதானல் அவனை அழைத்து செல்ல இவனுக்கு இஷ்டமில்லை என்றான் சுயநலம் பிடித்த அந்த நண்பன்..!! படிக்கும் நமெக்கெல்லாம் கடவுள் மேல் கோபம் வருகிறது அல்லவா...!!
அப்போது அந்த படகு கிளம்ப தொடங்கியதும் வானத்தில் இருந்து ஒரு குரல் ஒலிக்க தொடங்கியது...!
ஏன் உன் நண்பனை தனியாக இந்த தீவில் விட்டு செல்கிறாய்..? என்று அந்த குரல் கேட்டது...!
அதற்கு அந்த மனிதன் சொன்னான் நான் கடவுளிடம் பிரார்த்தனை செய்தேன் அவர் என்னை ஆசிர்வாதித்து இது எல்லாம் எனக்கு மட்டும் கிடைக்க செய்தார்.
என் நண்பனின் பிரார்தனை ஓன்றுக்கும் கூட கடவுள் செவி சாய்க்கவில்லை. அவன் ஓன்று கூட பெற தகுதி இல்லாதவன் என்று சொன்னான்.
அந்த குரல் அவனிடம் மறுபடியும் பேசியது மகனே நீ நினைப்பது தவறு. நான் தான் கடவுள்...!!
உன்னை உயிராக நேசிக்கும் உன் நண்பன் பிரார்த்தனையில் ஒன்றே ஓன்று மட்டும் கேட்டான். நான் அந்த ஒரு பிரார்த்னையையும் நிறை வேற்றி வைத்தேன்.
அது மட்டும் அவன் கேட்க வில்லை என்றால் உனக்கு எந்த வித ஆசிர்வாதமும் பலனும் கிடைத்து இருக்காது.
அந்த மனிதன் கேட்டான் சொல்லுங்க அப்படி அவன் என்ன பிரார்த்தனையில் கேட்டான்? நான் அவனுக்கு கடமை ஏதாவது பட்டு இருக்கிறேனா என்று..?
அந்த குரல் மேலும், உன் நண்பன் பிரார்த்தனையில் என் நண்பன் மிகவும் வசதியானவன், நல்லவன்..! வாழ்க்கையில் சுகம் மட்டுமே அனுபவித்து பழகியவன், அவன் கஷ்டமே அறியாதவன்...! ஆகவே என் பிரார்த்தனை அவன் வேண்டுவதை மட்டும் நிறைவேற்றி வையுங்கள்..!! அது போதும், நான் ஏற்கனவே ஏழை தான், இதுமாதிரி சூழ்நிலைகள் எனக்கு புதியதல்ல....! ஆகவே எனக்கென்று கேட்க எதுவும் இல்லை என்று தான் வேண்டினான்..!
அதை கேட்ட அந்த சுயநலம் பிடித்த நண்பன் வெட்கி, மனந் திருந்தி தன்னலமற்ற தன் நண்பனை தேடி ஓடினான்..!!
‪#‎கதையின்_நீதி‬: நம்முடைய பிரார்த்தனைகளால் மட்டுமே எல்லாம் நமக்கு கிடைத்து விடுவதில்லை. அதற்கு மற்றவர்களின் வேண்டுதல்களும் உதவி புரிகின்றன என்பதை மறந்து விட வேண்டாம்.
நம்மை நேசிப்பவர்களை யாராக இருந்தாலும் ஓதுக்கி வைத்து விட வேண்டாம், சந்தேகப்பட வேண்டாம். உறவையும் நட்பையும் மதிக்க கற்று கொள்ளுங்கள்.
