Taste of Heaven

A well-known piece of humor has it that we can get a taste of
heaven on earth if we have the following:

1). An American salary to take home.

2). Chinese food to eat.

3). A British home to live in, and,

4). An Indian wife to go home to. (which Indian?? )

well ....2/4

Fantasy - 1

Today morning, as usual, we had a family kitchen fight, becoz I got up 15 minutes later than usual.
Seems said that she is fed up of cooking and need me to get her a maid cook instead of me getting her a new car. I felt relieved and immediately agreed that I will get her good looking Spanish cook. Since seem require car, I "offered" that I will work from home everyday.

Then we started fantasizing, becoz we know that our dear "selvi" is also fed up of cooking and our Sat will also get a good looking Spanish cook and may even sell his new Lexus to work from home!!!.

But even we know that not all couples will require a Spanish cook, We guessed Dallas couple may find easier to get a Chinese maid and for our Detroit couple, it might be a good Nurse!!!.

okay any fantasies for our Herndon couple or Maryland couples ??. It is just a fiction and fantasy. Not for another kitchen fight.

Some Beautiful pictures from KERALA.

The name "Kerala" comes from two words: "Kera" + "Alam". ("Kera" means coconut (tree) and "Alam" means land or location). The State of Kerala was formed by the amalgamation of three regions: the Kingdom of Thiruvithamcoore (Travancore), the Kingdom of Kochi (Cochin), and the Province of Malabar.
Traditional Keralite legend proclaims that Parasurama, an avatar of Mahavishnu, threw his battle axe into the sea as penance and unction for his part in his sanguinary conflict with and annihilation of the Kshatriyas. As the ocean took in his axes, a new crescent-shaped land bounded by what is now Gokarnam in the north and Kanyakumari in the south foamed and arose from the waters. "God's own country", Kerala's sobriquet since ancient times, derives from this legend.

A Grandparent is...


(Taken from papers written by a class of 8-year-olds)

Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of her own. They like other people's. A grandfather is a man grandmother.

Grandparents don't have to do anything except be there when we come to see them. They are so old they shouldn't play hard or run. It is good if they drive us to the store and have lots of quarters for us.

When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars.
They show us and talk to us about the color of the flowers and also! Why we shouldn't step on "cracks." They don't say, "Hurry up."

Usually grandmothers are fat, but not too fat to tie your shoes.They wear glasses and funny underwear.They can take their teeth and gums out.

Grandparents don't have to be smart. They have to answer questions like "why isn't God married?" and "How come dogs chase cats?". When they read to us, they don't skip. They don't mind if we ask for the same story over again.

Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don't have television, because they are the only grown ups who like to spend time with us.They know we should have snack-time before bedtime and they say prayers with us every time, and kiss us even when we've acted bad.

A 6 year-old was asked where his grandma lived. "She lives at the
airport," he said. "When we want her, we just go and get her. Then
when her visit is over, we just take her back to the airport."

Week in Retrospection

Happy Bakrid

This is our first week . I think we can be satisfied with ourselves. I believe 8 of us do visit the blog everyday. We had 9 entries excluding this one. 1 photo from Jamila. 1 blog from Radhika, 2 from Seema and 5 from Sridhar!!!!!. There were 20 comments. About 64 Hits!!. 32 for general id, 16 for Sridhar, 12 for Bobby and 4 for Seema.

I somehow missed inviting Jamila and Sathya(vaguely remember?). I apologize. We created this blog for her. From now, I hope she keep this blog going. Suganthi finally created her id , soon she should get rolling. Sathya has not posted any article not even his world famous recipes or sensational news or snaps!!. BIG Letdown. Biggest disappointments are ofcourse Siva and Sajan. No offense meant. ofcourse. -:)

Seema is doing a good job trying to create her own works. Good luck. Best article of this week is of course withour doubt tendjewberrymud . I nominate Radhika on behalf of all of us as "Blogger of the week". I hope everybody agrees

Enjoy Happy Pongal...Pongaloo Pongal !!

"Truth" alone ........knows

We all know how much "truth" likes "love" ..esp. "love of malaysia". How much ever truth tries to paint/show "love" in a good light, "truth" has the best snaps of "love" that could make baywatch,catwalks and playboy look nothing.

Inspite of our "selvi" 's best effort to find the materials. our "truth" has been able to network it away. For now Truth alone trimuphs or "Truth" alone ........knows

await my following kisskis
Kisskis -2 , "Lion queen (LQ)"-crouching tiger, hidden dragon and "yobrevol"
Kisskis -3 , "Scent" of a "Goodpearl"
Kisskis -1a, "Truth about" Selvi
Kisskia - 2a, "yobrevol" in chinatown and "LQ" in mall
Kisskis - 3a, "perfumes" from "Pearl" harbour

Shawshank redemption in spike tv channel 168 or cable channel 54. 8pm 1/8/06

Three friends went to a hotel. The bill was Rs 75/- Each one contributed Rs.25

The waiter took the bill to the cashier.

The cashier was happy & decided to give them a discount of Rs.5/- & asked the waiter to return them Rs.5

N ow the waiter was confused. How to distribute Rs 5 among 3 persons

He kept Rs 2 in his pocket & gave one rupee to each one of the 3 persons.

So initially each one had contributed Rs.25. Now as they are given 1 rupee back, their contribution reduces to Rs 24.

They all contributed Rs 24 -- that is 24x3=72 & 2 rupees are in the waiters pocket.

The total becomes 74. But they had paid Rs 75.

Where is the remaining 1 rupee?.

Check your pocket for 1 Rupee.
I do not know the answer. If you have solved this please let me know where is that one rupee.
Eat something and try again

Now to solve this problem 3 friends took 3 more friends and went to the same hotel. The bill came for 6 friends as usual Rs.150/-....Again they were given discount of Rs 5/-....again the waiter got confused....... So this time he kept the five rupees!!!!..

so ................now 8 friends want to solve this problem.........

I love this poem so much , I am posting from Shekar kapurs Blog here

This Christmas.. by

Shekhar Kapur - December 23, 2005

neither the sound of om
echoing across the universe
bounced only by the eons of time

nor the chants of a thousand Gregorian monks

neither a million 'amens'
resounding across the world on christmas eve
nor all the calls to prayer in the name of Allah

not even the gentle patter of the first monsoon rain
nor the gurgling of the little brook
joining hands across the landsape
to form the mighty Ganges

nothing

but the laughter of little children

Just wanted to test , how to post into a blog .

Looks like an exciting and challenging hobby . It is all exciting since this is the first time I would be posting on the net .

It would be challenging task to post some facts/news because you would have to give accurate information .For eg . take the case of Gaurav Sibnis who was trying to expose the IIPM fraud . IIPM created a lot of trouble for him and finally he had to resign his job at IBM .
