NatarajanLeave a comment

இந்தியாவில் தகவல் அறியும் உரிமை சட்டத்தை மிகச் சரியாகப் பயன் படுத்தி வருவது “போன்ல யாருங்க ?” எனக் கேட்கும் மனைவிகள் மட்டும்தான்!

ஆபீசுக்குள்ள, பார்க்கிறவன் எல்லாம் சும்மா இருக்கிற மாதிரி உங்களுக்குத் தோணிச்சுன்னா மேனேஜர் ஆகுற தகுதி வந்துரிச்சுன்னு அர்த்தம்.

எப்ப தம்பி கல்யாணம் பண்ணப் போறீங்க? னு விசாரிக்கிறவங்க யாருக்கும் மகளே இல்லை! விவரமாத்தான்யா இருக்கீங்க!

சரி வாழ்ந்தே தொலைப்போம் என்பதைத் தாண்டிய தற்கொலை எது?

பிரிட்ஜ் இருக்கும் வீடுகளில் அதற்கும் சேர்த்தே சமையல் செய்யப் படுகிறது

மாநகரில் இப்போது யாராவது ஜாயிண்ட் பாமிலியாக இருந்தால் அது பெரும்பாலும் மனைவியின் பெற்றோர் எனக்கொள்!

ஒரு கூட்டத்தில இருக்கற எல்லோரும் உன்னை மட்டுமே பார்க்கணும்னா நீ அவங்களை போட்டோ எடுக்கிறவனா இருக்கணும்

உபயோகமான ஒரு வேலை மற்றும் உருப்படாத நாலு வேலைகளைச் சேர்ந்து பார்ப்பதுதான் “மல்டி டாஸ்கிங்” எனப் படும்

Joke of the Day!!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

A man was well inebriated, but he got behind the wheel of his car anyway and began to drive home. Of course, he couldn’t exactly drive straight or stay below the speed limit. Two policemen pulled him over and demanded a sobriety test. They asked him to walk a straight line, and he failed. They began to take him with them, but suddenly they received a call on their walkie-talkies, asking them to go to another part of town. They asked the man to be patient while they called someone else to cover for them. But the man grew tired of waiting and, after a few minutes, drove home. He got in bed and said to his wife, who had been waiting for him, “If any policemen come looking for me, tell them I’m not home yet.” The wife agreed, somewhat confused and a little embarrassed. No sooner than her husband fell asleep did she hear a knock at the door. Sure enough, it was the two policemen. They asked about her husband, and she replied that he wasn’t home. Then they asked to check her garage. Puzzled, she agreed. She opened up the garage for them–and there sat the policemen’s squad car, lights still flashing.

Message For the Day…” Strive to Cultivate The Lasting Bliss of Divine Love …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Devotion these days appears more as a way of spending one’s time rather than as the royal road to the eternal mansion of the Divine. You need not make much effort to grow grass. But to raise a useful crop you have to labour hard. Likewise, it is no great achievement to experience the trivial and transient pleasures of mundane existence; it is like growing grass. You must strive to cultivate the nectarous and lasting bliss of divine Love. Those who aspire for such love are not easy to find. All appear as devotees. But the one who has experienced the Divine Principle will not go after sensuous pleasures.

On June 19, the top of Cerro Armazones, a 10,000-foot mountain in northern Chile’s Atacama Desert, was blown up to make way for

European Extremely Large Telescope, or E-ELT.

 

 

The telescope’s main mirror will measure almost 130 feet, making it the biggest optical/near-infrared telescope in the world, according to the

European Space Agency (ESO). In a statement, officials called it the “world’s biggest eye on the sky.”

The mission of the telescope will be to “tackle some of the biggest scientific challenges of our time,” ESO said. It will do this by “allowing detailed studies of subjects including planets around other stars, the first objects in the Universe, super-massive black holes, and the nature and distribution of the dark matter and dark energy which dominate the Universe.”

The first use of the telescope is set to take place in the early 2020s.

” Nandi Baba”…A Regular Visitor to a Shop !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

Twenty-five years ago, a bull walked into the Lucknow Chikan Shop, a cloth store tucked away in the dusty folds of Varanasi. It stayed on for half a day. Paramanand Chhugani, the shop owner, rubbed his eyes and scratched his head.

The next day, the bull returned and stayed put till the lights went out at 9 pm. Chhugani’s surprise took on the form of devotion. A devotee of Lord Shiva, the supreme deity of Varanasi, Chhugani decided that the bull’s visit was a sign from the Lord. By the third day, the bull had a name—Nandi Baba. “Outside every Shiva temple there sits Nandi (bull). I am a bhakt of Shivji so it was natural to name him Nandi Baba,” Chhugani told Open. “I am overwhelmed by his presence in my shop.”

The first Nandi Baba died. But other bulls followed, all named ‘Nandi Baba’ by Chhugani. The current incumbent is Nandi Baba the Fourth. Chhugani’s business has expanded since his first bovine visitor. In 2003, he opened a second shop, Lucknow Chikan Centre. It is mandatory for employees of both shops to pay obeisance to Nandi Baba IV.

Chhugani saw a divine hand even in the inauguration of his second shop. He spotted a Nandi in the vicinity and realised he had found his chief guest. “I kept the door open and waited,” Chhugani said. “Sure enough, Nandi walked into the shop. What’s more, it went straight to Shivji’s idol inside the shop. It looked at the idol for some time, then licked it. Afterwards it sat down at the foot of the idol. We couldn’t believe our eyes. Since then, Nandi Baba visits my shop every day.”

Nandi Baba is organised. It arrives at the shop at 9.30 am, except in the summer, when it waddles in half an hour later. The shutters are opened only after the bull reaches the shop. It walks in first and everyone else follows. Then, it walks up to the idol of Lord Shiva, licks it and sits down at its feet. The shop is cleaned even as Nandi Baba sits there. The area around the idol is cleaned only after it leaves the shop in the afternoon to stroll around the market. Chhugani ensures that it gets a sumptuous lunch. Post lunch, it returns and sits till closing time. Fearing that the bull will be inconvenienced if the shop is closed, Chhugani keeps it open every day of the year.

Shoppers in Varanasi are used to Nandi Baba’s presence. In fact, the shop has become a tourist attraction. People in Varanasi have anointed Nandi’s visits to the shop as a miracle. Sometimes, they flock there only to worship it. The Chhuganis do not turn back anyone who is keen to worship their Nandi Baba.

“We are blessed by Nandi Baba’s presence. How can we deprive other devotees of the pleasure of worshipping him?”

White House Hails Undocumented Delhi Girl as 'Champion of Change'

New Delhi-born Pratishtha Khanna

New Delhi-born Pratishtha Khanna, who came to the US illegally at the age of 10, is one of 10 local “Champions of Change” honoured by the White House for their exemplary leadership in their communities.

All the 10 honoured on Tuesday were what are called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) recipients under a programme initiated by President Barack Obama through a memo signed on June 15, 2012.

The programme requires the US immigration authorities to defer removal action for certain undocumented young people who came to the US as children and have pursued education or military service in the country. They are also often referred to as “DREAMers” as most of them meet the general requirements of the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act.

“These DACA recipients serve as success stories and role models in their academic and professional spheres,” the White House said.

Ms Khanna from Laurel, Maryland for one, is currently a senior at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) and will graduate in May with a BS in Biology.

She is an active member of the API Youth Convening-DACA Collaborative planning committee and the Maryland Dream Youth Committee (MDYC).

She is also a member of Dreamers for DREAMers student organization at UMBC.

After graduation, Ms Khanna will be working (thanks to DACA) as an Emergency room medical scribe and will pursue a Certified Nursing Assistant Programme at Howard Community College. She hopes to attend medical school in Fall 2017.

“These Champions distinguished themselves through their community involvement and the hard work they put into helping other members of their academic and professional communities succeed,” White House said.

The White House event was intended to “showcase these inspirational young leaders and highlight the importance of providing talented young people with the opportunity to realise their full potential.”

The White House said it created the Champions of Change programme to feature individuals doing extraordinary things to empower and inspire members of their communities.

Message For the Day…” Love and Respect Your Parents at all Times… “

NatarajanLeave a comment

Never forsake your parents till your last breath. Even if they didn’t provide for all you asked and wished, you must love them. Your mother has undergone many hardships for your sake. She nourished you in many ways. Forgetting or ignoring your mother is the worst of sins. Father has worked hard to take care of you and raise you. Never make your parents feel distant from you. Love and respect them at all times. You must satisfy the needs of your parents, using the education they gave you. Their satisfaction will give you infinite joy. Do not believe your friends to be your everything – as long as you have money in your pocket, they are your friends. When you are penniless, most of them will bid goodbye.

“Fireflies flew up into the sky & became stars OR stars descend down onto the tree to become fireflies… ” 🙂

Fireflies and stars, by Abhijit Juvekar.

Our friend Abhijit Juvekar wrote:

A jungle full of fireflies, few trees like this were really filled up with hundreds of fireflies in small area. They displayed a synchronized light pattern a mating time where males put up the light show to attract females. The moonlit forest added the fill light while the stars in background completed the frame to witness this most dramatic scene.
