Jokes For the Day…” We Just Got off Route 119 … ” !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment
Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a State Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 22 MPH. He thinks to himself, this driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!” So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over. Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies — two in the front seat and three in the back — wide eyed and white as ghosts. The driver, obviously confused, says to him, Officer, I don’t understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem? “Ma’am,” the officer replies, you weren’t speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers. Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly… Twenty-two miles an hour! “The old woman says a bit proudly. The State Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that 22” was the route number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error. But before I let you go, Ma’am, I have to ask… Is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven’t muttered a single peep this whole time, “the officer asks. Oh, they’ll be all right in a minute officer. We just got off Route 119…

Seems an elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years.
He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%. The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, “Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased you can hear again.”
To which the gentleman said, “Oh, I haven’t told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I’ve changed my will five times!”

Message For the Day…” Do Not Compromise Virtues Under any Circumstances…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Every one of you must ask yourself, ‘What is the purpose I have come for?’ If it is to study, are you following the path and learning sincerely and thoroughly? Never forget the purpose of your existence. Humility is the very core of education, and its the most important aspect. Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, a renowned educationist in India grew up amidst many challenges. He lost his father, and his mother raised him with a lot of difficulties. She taught very important lessons to her son. She used to say, “Child, education is not as important as virtues. For the sake of education, do not make the mistake of giving up virtues. In a difficult situation, it is even okay to give up education if it entails compromising on virtues. Good qualities are the most important for any person. Humility is the true ornament of an educated person.”

Incredible Images of Airlines in Storm Clouds …

NatarajanLeave a comment

Nervous flyers may want to look away now.

These stunning (or horrifying, depending on your view of air travel) images show planes approaching huge, angry storm clouds that completely dwarf them.

The incredible snaps, which look like a scene from an apocalyptic horror movie, were taken by photographer Ramon Stalenhoef, 39, not from a plane or helicopter, but from the balcony of his apartment in Amsterdam.

He said: ‘Some people think I shot it from another plane. Or that I went up in a balloon or climbed the highest building in town

‘But the truth is even more surprising. I just shot it from my balcony. From the second floor of my apartment.

‘I live in Amsterdam and my balcony offers a great view of the flight paths of different aircraft that are on their way to Schiphol Airport.

‘Thanks to the dramatic low hanging clouds and my large telephoto lens I was able to take pictures of which you think they are shot high in the sky.’

Ramon, who works as the Creative Director for an advertising agency, is inspired by photography that show a different picture than is possible with your eyes:

‘This is also an interesting aspect of photography. Photos always show a different picture than your eyes would see. Therefore photos work on peoples imagination.

‘In this case I wanted to tell the story of small and fragile looking planes high in the mighty sky.’

Ramon started taking photos in 2008 after buying his first DSLR:

‘I bought my first DSLR in 2008 and what drives me is the ‘instant satisfaction’ of taking pictures.

‘Within a fraction of a second you can amaze yourself and others. Think about it, it’s amazing to freeze time and to awe!

‘When I look through the camera I’m really aware of everything around me. I look for small details, great moments, amazing light, everything.’

To capture his images, he used a Canon 5D Mark II camera, a Canon 200mm f/2.8 L lens and a Canon 2x teleconverter.

Jokes For the Day…” Where is My Rolex !!!…”

Natarajan1 Comment

 

A Yankee lawyer went duck hunting in eastern North Carolina. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer’s field on the other side of a fence. As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly gentleman asked him what he was doing. The lawyer responded, “I shot a duck and it fell in this field, I’m going into retrieve it.”
The old farmer replied. “This is my property, and you are not coming over here.”
The indignant lawyer said, “I am one of the best trial attorneys in the U.S. and, if you don’t let me get that duck, I’ll sue you and take everything!
The old farmer smiled and said, “Apparently, you don’t know how we do things here in North Carolina. We settle small disagreements like this with the NC Three-Kick Rule.”
The lawyer asked, “What is the NC three-Kick Rule?”
The Farmer replied. “Well, first I kick you three times and then you kick me three times, and so on, back and forth, until someone gives up.”
The Yankee attorney quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the old southerner. He agreed to abide by the local custom.
The old farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the city feller. His first kick planted the toe of his heavy work boot into the Yankee lawyer’s groin and dropped him to his knees. His second kick nearly wiped the man’s nose off his face. The barrister was flat on his belly when the farmer’s third kick to a kidney nearly caused him to give up.
The Yankee lawyer summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his feet and said, “Okay, you old redneck southerner, now it’s my turn.”
The old North Carolina farmer smiled and said, “Naw, I give up. You can have the duck.”

An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, “Ah, you’re an engineer — you’re in the wrong place.” So the engineer reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts designing and building improvements. After a while, they’ve got air conditioning, flush toilets and escalators, and the engineer is becoming a pretty popular guy. One day God calls Satan up on the telephone and asks with a sneer, “So, how’s it going down there in hell?” Satan replies, “Hey, things are going great. We’ve got air conditioning, flush toilets and escalators, and there’s no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next.” God replies, “What??? You’ve got an engineer? That’s a mistake — he should never have gotten down there; send him up here.” Satan says, “No way! I like having an engineer on the staff, and I’m keeping him.” God says, “Send him back up here or I’ll sue.” Satan laughs uproariously and answers, “Yeah right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?

…………………………

A lawyer opened the door of his BMW, when suddenly a car came along and hit the door, ripping it off completely. When the police arrived at the scene, the lawyer was complaining bitterly about the damage to his precious BMW.
“Officer, look what they’ve done to my Beemer!” he whined.
“You lawyers are so materialistic, you make me sick!” retorted the officer, “You’re so worried about your stupid BMW, that you didn’t even notice that your left arm was ripped off!”
“Oh my god”, replied the lawyer, finally noticing the bloody left shoulder where his arm once was, “Where’s my Rolex!”

Message For the Day…” Mind is the Reflection of the Food We Consume …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Food is considered God, as it is the source of a person’s life, body, mind, and character. Eat only what you need. Do not be greedy and take more than you can eat and waste the rest. Wasting food is a great sin; your surplus can feed another stomach. Even a major part of the food you consume, the gross part, is thrown out as waste matter. A minute amount of the food, which is the subtle part, is assimilated by the body and flows as blood. And a minuscule amount, which is the subtlest part of the food, makes up your mind. Therefore mind is the reflection of the food consumed. When demonic tendencies arise in our minds, know that it is from the food we consume. To receive real nourishment, pay attention to the quality of food that you eat and let it be very pure, clean, sanctified, and Satwik.

Art Works at Sandy Beach !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

If you live in San Francisco, California, then you may be lucky enough to come across the art of Andres Amador. He doesn’t paint or sculpt. He prefers a medium that is temporary but absolutely beautiful: a sandy beach at low tide. He uses a rake to create works of art that can be bigger than 100,000 sq. ft.

He spends hours creating these intricate masterpieces, knowing that the tide will soon come in and wash away his work forever.

Andres’ creations are simply stunning and knowing that these delicate creations are temporary somehow makes them even more beautiful.

You should definitely Like Andres On Facebook and Visit His Web Site where you can buy prints of his designs if you want.

” தை அமாவசை … நன்றி நவிலும் தினம் “….

NatarajanLeave a comment

ஜன., 30 தை அமாவாசை

பிரகலாதனின் தந்தை இரண்யன். திருமால், நரசிம்ம அவதாரம் எடுத்து, இவனை அழித்த போது, பிரகலாதன் சோகமாய் இருந்தான். அவன், ‘தந்தை, தன்னை கொடுமைப்படுத்தினாரே… அந்த கொடுமைக்கான தண்டனையைத் தான் அவர் அனுபவிக்கிறார்…’ என்று நினைக்கவில்லை. என்ன இருந்தாலும், தந்தை அல்லவா… வருத்தம் இருக்கத்தானே செய்யும்!
பிரகலாதன் வருத்ததை அறிந்த நரசிம்மர் அவனை அழைத்து, வாஞ்சையுடன் அவனது தலையை தடவியபடி, ‘பிரகலாதா… ஒரு வரம் கேளேன்…’ என்றார்.
‘சுவாமி… வரம் கேள் என்கிறீர்களே… பிரதிபலனை எதிர்பார்த்தா உங்களிடம் பக்தி செய்தேன். இல்லையே…’வரம் கேள்’ என்கிறீர்கள். நான் கேட்காமல் போனால், உங்கள் சொல்லை தட்டிய பாவத்திற்கு ஆளாவேன். அதனால், சுவாமி, என் தந்தைக்கு நல்ல கதியைக் கொடுங்கள்…’ என்றான். இதுதான் நன்றியறிதல் என்பது! பெற்றவர்களும், நம் முன்னோர்களும் நல்லவர்களோ, கெட்டவர்களோ அவர்கள் மோட்ச கதியை அடைய, நாம் கடவுளிடம் பிரார்த்தனை செய்ய வேண்டும். இதற்காகத்தான் தை அமாவாசை போன்ற நிகழ்வுகள் ஏற்படுத்தப்பட்டுள்ளன.
சூரியன் தன் வடதிசை பயணத்தை ஆரம்பிக்கும் உத்ராயண காலத்தில், தை பிறக்கிறது. இந்த மாதத்து அமாவாசை மிகவும் விசேஷத்திற்குரியது. ஆடி முதல் மார்கழி வரை நம் முன்னோர் பூமிக்கு வந்து, நம்மை பாதுகாக்கின்றனர். பின், தை அமாவாசையன்று விடை பெற்று, பிதுர்லோகத்துக்கு செல்வதாக ஐதீகம். இந்த நாளில், அவர்களை நாம் நன்றியுடன் வழியனுப்பி வைக்க வேண்டும்.
தை அமாவாசை விரதம் மிகவும் எளிது. அன்று காலையில், ஏதாவது தீர்த்தக்கரைகளுக்குச் சென்று, தர்ப்பணம் செய்ய வேண்டும். அருகிலுள்ள கோவிலில் முன்னோர் நற்கதியடைய கடவுளைப் பிரார்த்திக்க வேண்டும். தர்ப்பணம் கொடுக்கும் நேரம் வரையாவது சாப்பிடாமல் இருக்க வேண்டும். நம்மை எத்தனையோ நாட்கள் பாதுகாத்த அவர்களுக்காக, நாம், ஒரு வேளை பட்டினி கிடப்பது ஒன்றும் பெரிய விஷயமல்ல. அதே நேரம், மற்றவர்களின் பட்டினியைப் போக்கும் வகையில், அன்னதானம் செய்ய வேண்டும்.
அன்று, நம் குலதெய்வம் கோவிலுக்குச் சென்று வர வேண்டும். ஏனெனில், அங்கே, நம் முன்னோர் அனைவரின் பாதமும் பட்டிருக்கும். அந்த புண்ணிய பூமியில், நம் பாதமும் படுவது, மிகுந்த புண்ணியத்தைத் தரும். நம் முன்னோர்களின் பெயரையும், அவர்களது பெருமையையும் பிள்ளைகளுக்கு சொல்லி, அவர்கள் வழியில் நடக்கும்படி அறிவுறுத்த வேண்டும்.
தை அமாவாசை நன்னாளை, நன்றியறிதல் தினமாக கொண்டாட தயாராவோம்!
