கண் சிமிட்டும் கணிணி
கை அருகில் பாடல் கருவி
குழுமியிருக்கும் மின் அணு சாதனங்கள்
ஆனாலும் அறை முழுதும் வெறுமை
இதன் பெயர் தான் தனிமை
குளிர்சாதன பெட்டியில்
உணவு வகைகளின் பட்டியல்
சமைக்க செல்லாத மனது
சுவர் ஓரத்தை வெறித்திருக்கும்,இமைக்காத விழி அது
இதன் பெயர் தான் தனிமை
ஆயிரம் நண்பர்கள் இணையத்தில்
மின் அரட்டை ஆரம்பிக்கலாம் நொடியில்
ஓசை கேட்காத பல நூறு குரல்கள்
பார்க்க முடியாத பல நூறு சினேகங்கள்
இதன் பெயர் தான் தனிமை
தலை மேலே அம்மாவின் ஸ்பரிசம்
திரும்பி பார்த்தால் காற்றுதான் முறைக்கும்
மூச்சை முட்டும் அளவு நினைவுகளின் கூட்டம்
ஆனால் கண்களில் மட்டும் கண்ணீர், துடைக்காமல் இருக்கும்
இதன் பெயர் தான் தனிமை
அழ வேண்டும் என்று இனம் புரியா ஆவல்
காரணம் இல்லாததால் அது மனதினுள் காவல்
அயல்நாட்டில் அடைந்திருக்கும் இளைஞர்களின் நிலைமைத
மிழ் என்ற தோழி மட்டும் துணையிருக்கும் கொடுமை
இதன் பெயர் தான் தனிமை

"Self Appraisal"
A little boy went to a telephone booth which was at the cash counter of a store and dialed a number.
The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation:
Boy : "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?
Woman : (at the other end of the phone line) "I already have someone to cut my lawn." Boy : "Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price than the person who cuts your lawn now."
Woman : I'm very satisfied with the person who is presently cutting my lawn.
Boy : (with more perseverance) "Lady, I'll even sweep the floor and the stairs of your house for free.
Woman : No, thank you.
With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver. The store-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy.
Store Owner : "Son... I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a job."
Boy : "No thanks,
Store Owner : But you were really pleading for one.
Boy : No Sir, I was just checking my performance at the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady I was talking to!"

Live Life Happily
Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's listening.
Live like it's Heaven on Earth.
May there always be work for your hands to do.
May your wallet always hold a coin or two.
May the sun always shine on your windowpane.
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

praise song for the day | inauguration poem
Each day we go about our business,walking past each other, catching each other’s eyes or not,
about to speak or speaking.
All about us is noise. All about us is
noise and bramble, thorn and din, each
one of our ancestors on our tongues.
Someone is stitching up a hem, darning
a hole in a uniform, patching a tire,
repairing the things in need of repair.
Someone is trying to make music somewhere,
with a pair of wooden spoons on an oil drum,
with cello, boom box, harmonica, voice.
A woman and her son wait for the bus.
A farmer considers the changing sky.
A teacher says, Take out your pencils. Begin.
We encounter each other in words, words
spiny or smooth, whispered or declaimed,
words to consider, reconsider.
We cross dirt roads and highways that mark
the will of some one and then others, who said
I need to see what’s on the other side.
I know there’s something better down the road.
We need to find a place where we are safe.
We walk into that which we cannot yet see.
Say it plain: that many have died for this day.
Sing the names of the dead who brought us here,
who laid the train tracks, raised the bridges,
picked the cotton and the lettuce, built
brick by brick the glittering edifices
they would then keep clean and work inside of.
Praise song for struggle, praise song for the day.
Praise song for every hand-lettered sign,
the figuring-it-out at kitchen tables.
Some live by love thy neighbor as thyself,
others by first do no harm or take no more
than you need. What if the mightiest word is love?
Love beyond marital, filial, national,
love that casts a widening pool of light,
love with no need to pre-empt grievance.
In today’s sharp sparkle, this winter air,
any thing can be made, any sentence begun.
On the brink, on the brim, on the cusp,
praise song for walking forward in that light.
- Elizabeth Alexander

Do you suffer from discomgoogolation?
Feeling stressed or anxious at an inability to access the internet? Don’t worry, you’re not alone and now there’s a word for it: “discomgoogolation”.
“The proliferation of broadband has meant for the first time in history we’ve entered a culture of ‘instant answers,’” said psychologist Dr David Lewis, who identified discomgoogolation by measuring heart rates and brainwave activity.
The term comes from “discombobulate”, which means to confuse or frustrate, and Google.
“A galaxy of information is just a mouse click away and we have become addicted to the web,” added Lewis. “When unable to get online, discomgoogolation takes over.
The stress of being disconnected was equivalent to that of running half an hour late for a key meeting, being about to sit an important exam or, in the worst cases, being sacked.
Do you suffer from discomgoogolation?

A recap of our life
When the school reopened in June,And we settled in our new desks and
Benches!
When we queued up in book depot,
And got our new books
And notes!
When we wanted two Sundays and no Mondays, yet
Managed to line up daily for the morning prayers.
We learnt writing with
Slates and pencils, and
Progressed To fountain pens and ball pens and then Micro tips!
When we began drawing with crayons and evolved to
Color pencils and finally sketch pens!
When we started calculating
First with tables and then with
Clarke's tables and advanced to
Calculators and computers!
When we chased one another in the
Corridors in Intervals, and returned to the classrooms
Drenched in sweat!
When we had lunch in classrooms, corridors,
Playgrounds,
Under the trees and even in cycle sheds!
When all the colors in the world,
Decorated the campus on the Second Saturdays!
When a single P.T. period in the week's Time Table,
Was awaited more eagerly than the monsoons!
When cricket was played with writing pads as bats,
And Neckties and socks rolled into balls!
When few played
"Kabadi" and "Kho-Kho" in scorching sun,
While others simply played
"Book cricket" in the
Confines of classroom!
Of fights but no conspiracies,
Of Competitions but seldom jealousy!
When we used to
Watch Live Cricket telecast,
In the opposite house in Intervals and Lunch breaks!
When few rushed at 3:45 to
"Conquer" window seats in our School bus!
While few others had "Big Fun", "peppermint",
"Kulfi", "milk ice!" and "sharbat!" at 4o Clock!
Gone are the days
Of Sports Day,
And the annual School Day,
And the one-month long
Preparations for them.
Gone are the days
Of the stressful Quarterly,
Half Yearly and Annual Exams, and the most
Enjoyed holidays after them!
Gone are the days
Of tenth and twelfth standards, when
We spent almost the whole year writing revision tests!
We learnt,
We enjoyed,
We played,
We won,
We lost,
We laughed,
We cried,
We fought,
We thought.
With so much fun in them, so many friends,
So much experience, all this and more!
Gone are the days
When we used
To talk for hours with our friends!
Now we don't have time to say a `Hi'!
Gone are the days
When we played games on the road!
Now we
Code on the road with laptop!
Gone are the days
When we saw stars
Shining at Night!
Now we see stars when our code doesn't
Work!
Gone are the days
When we sat to chat with Friends on grounds!
Now we chat in chat rooms.....!
Gone are the days
Where we
studied just to pass!
Now we study to save our job!
Gone are the days
Where we had no money in our pockets and still fun filled on our hearts!!
Now we have the ATM as well as credit card but with an empty heart!!
Gone are the days
Where we shouted on the road!
Now we don't shout even at home
Gone are the days
Where we got lectures from all!
Now we give lectures to all... like the one I'm doing now....!!
Gone are the days
But not the memories, which will be
Lingering in our hearts for ever and ever and
Ever and ever and ever.....
Gone are the Days.... But still there are lot more Days to come in our
Life!!
NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU ARE,
DONT FORGET TO
LIVE THE LIFE THAT STILL
EXISTS......

Who owns the media in India?
VERY INTERESTING ARTICLE....
Let us see the ownership of different media agencies.
NDTV: A very popular TV news media is funded by Gospels of Charity in Spain Supports Communism. Recently it has developed a soft corner towards Pakistan because Pakistan President has allowed only this channel to be aired inPakistan . Indian CEO Prannoy Roy is co-brother of Prakash Karat, GeneralSecretary of the Communist party of India . His wife and Brinda Karat aresisters.
INDIA TODAY: Which used to be the only national weekly which supported BJP is now bought by NDTV!! Since then the tone has changed drastically and turned into Hindu bashing.
CNN-IBN: This is 100 percent funded by Southern Baptist Church with itsbranches in all over the world with HQ in US.. The Church annually allocates $800 million for promotion of its channel. Its Indian head is RajdeepSardesai and his wife Sagarika Ghosh.
Times group list:
TIMES OF INDIA, Mid-Day, Nav-Bharth Times, Femina, Filmfare, Vijaya Karnataka, Times now (24- hour news channel) and many more...
TIMES GROUP is owned by Bennett & Coleman. 'World Christian Council does 80percent of the Funding, and an Englishman and an Italian equally sharebalance 20 percent. The Italian Robertio Mindo is a close relative of Sonia Gandhi.
STAR TV: It is run by an Australian, who is supported by St. PetersPontifical Church Melbourne.
HINDUSTAN TIMES: Owned by Birla Group, but hands have changed since Shobana Bhartiya took over. Presently it is working in Collaboration with Times Group.
THE HINDU: English daily, started over 125 years has been recently taken over by Joshua Society, Berne , Switzerland .. N. Ram's wife is a Swiss national.
INDIAN EXPRESS: Divided into two groups. The Indian Express and the New IndianExpress (southern edition) ACTS Christian Ministries have major stake in the Indian Express and latter is still with the Indian counterpart.
THE STATESMAN: It is controlled by Communist Party of India.
ASIAN AGE and DECCAN CHRONICLE: Is owned by a Saudi Arabian Company with its chief Editor M.J. Akbar.
Gujarat riots which took place in 2002 where Hindus were burnt alive,
Rajdeep Sardesai and Bharkha Dutt working for NDTV at that time got around 5 Million Dollars from Saudi Arabia to cover only Muslim victims, which they did very faithfully... Not a single Hindu family was interviewed or shown on TV whose near and dear ones had been burnt alive, it is reported.
Tarun Tejpal of <> regularly gets blankcheques from Arab countries to target BJP and Hindus only, it is said.
The ownership explains the control of media in India by foreigners. The result is obvious.

Even GOD has a Sence of Humor
Even God has a Sense of Humor
God was in the process of creating the universe.
And he was explaining to his subordinates
'Look everything should be in balance.
For example, after every 10 deer there should be a lion.
Look here my fellow angels, here is the country of the United States .
I have blessed them with prosperity and money.
But at the same time I have given them insecurity and tension....
And here is Africa . I have given them beautiful nature.
But at the same time, I have given them climatic extremes.
And here is South America . I have given them lots of forests.
But at the same time, I have given them lesser land so that they would
have to cut off the forests...
So you see fellows, everything should be in balance.
One of the angels asked...
'God, what is this extremely beautiful country here?'
God said........ 'Ahah...that is the crown piece of all. ' INDIA ',
My most precious creation.
It has understanding and friendly People.
Sparkling streams and serene mountains.
A culture which speaks of the great tradition that they live.
Technologically brilliant and with a heart of gold.....
The angel was quite surprised:
'But god you said everything should be in balance.'
God replied -- 'Look at the neighbors, I gave them!

Accept me as I am...............
Accept me as I am-I have no guarantee.
A claim to perfection I have not.
Perfect I cannot be.I, like you.....am human.
Prone to make mistakes.
Failure is not a character flaw,
Just a part of the human makeup.
I live, I laugh and I also learn.
My knowledge is incomplete.
I am searching all the time,in waking hours as well as sleep.
I have a long road to travel,as well as you do.
We learn our lessons on the way.
Wisdom we shall acrue.
Accept me as I amBecause I am ....me.
And You are you.
No one like me in the world.
That is my only guarantee

Laughter as medicine
Have you laughed today? Good thing if you have because most people take life too seriously.
But those who laugh are healthier because laughing helps them loosen up. Though it causes the pulse initially to quicken, it slows down considerably, so that blood pressure sinks.
"The skeletal muscles relax and the overall result is better circulation to the muscles," said psychologist Michael Titze, chairman of an association called HumourCare in Tuttlingen, Germany, and a researcher into laughter.
Laughing also helps to break down stress hormones and build up hormones associated with happiness. And laughing helps to increase the immune defences in the bloodstream, including those that help the body protect itself from cancer and heart disease. The antibody-containing immunoglobulin in the saliva, which inhibits germ attacks on respiratory organs, also rises.
"Laughing, among other things, tenses the muscles in the eye and activates positive emotions in the brain," said Titze, adding that laughter is an expression of pure deliverance and total tension release. "Through laughter we abandon self control."
The therapist therefore advocates looking for things that trigger laughter in daily life and activating the laugh reflex.
"Laughing induces good mood and that in turn engenders hearty and intense laughter," Titze said. But today this is difficult for many people.
"Laughing demands a bit of courage," said Claudia Madelaine Zimmer of a club in Leipzig dedicated to laughing. To a certain degree, the discipline needed to raise children wears down the ability to have fun. People fear losing their authority by having fun or doing something ridiculous. However, people with humour not only live healthier, they are also better at solving conflicts, she believes.
But because it's often difficult to have a good laugh, people all over the world are joining laugh clubs. Zimmer said such clubs meet regularly, and do "laugh yoga". This sends resounding laughter into the streets, not because the laughter exercises are so funny, but because it's actually a way to practise laughing.
Chuckles, giggles and snickers - "You don't have to make a big deal of it, we're dealing with something that we actually can do," said Michaela Schaeffner, chairwoman of the association of the German laugh-yoga therapists in Munich.
The goal is to laugh without reason or inhibition. This initially seems artificial, but with a bit of training people can learn "to go into natural laughter from collective, intentional laughter". And because you can scarcely think about it while in laugh training, the relaxation is all the greater.
But those who laugh are healthier because laughing helps them loosen up. Though it causes the pulse initially to quicken, it slows down considerably, so that blood pressure sinks.
"The skeletal muscles relax and the overall result is better circulation to the muscles," said psychologist Michael Titze, chairman of an association called HumourCare in Tuttlingen, Germany, and a researcher into laughter.
Laughing also helps to break down stress hormones and build up hormones associated with happiness. And laughing helps to increase the immune defences in the bloodstream, including those that help the body protect itself from cancer and heart disease. The antibody-containing immunoglobulin in the saliva, which inhibits germ attacks on respiratory organs, also rises.
"Laughing, among other things, tenses the muscles in the eye and activates positive emotions in the brain," said Titze, adding that laughter is an expression of pure deliverance and total tension release. "Through laughter we abandon self control."
The therapist therefore advocates looking for things that trigger laughter in daily life and activating the laugh reflex.
"Laughing induces good mood and that in turn engenders hearty and intense laughter," Titze said. But today this is difficult for many people.
"Laughing demands a bit of courage," said Claudia Madelaine Zimmer of a club in Leipzig dedicated to laughing. To a certain degree, the discipline needed to raise children wears down the ability to have fun. People fear losing their authority by having fun or doing something ridiculous. However, people with humour not only live healthier, they are also better at solving conflicts, she believes.
But because it's often difficult to have a good laugh, people all over the world are joining laugh clubs. Zimmer said such clubs meet regularly, and do "laugh yoga". This sends resounding laughter into the streets, not because the laughter exercises are so funny, but because it's actually a way to practise laughing.

Marc Faber comment on US economy
Investment analyst and entrepreneur Dr. Marc Faber concluded his monthly bulletin (June 2008) with the Following:
''The federal government is sending each of us a $600 rebate. If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money goes to China. If we spend it on gasoline it goes to the Arabs. If we buy a computer it will go to India. If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala. If we purchase a good car it will go to Germany. If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy. The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it on prostitutes and beer, since these are the only products still produced in US. I've been doing my part.''

Roses of Life...
I've dreamed many dreams that never came true,
I've seen them vanish at dawn.
But I've realized enough of my dreams, thank God,
To make me want to dream on.
I've prayed many prayers, when no answers came,
Though I waited so patient and long,
But answers came to enough of my prayers
To make me keep praying on.
I've trusted many a friend who failed
And left me to week alone,
But I've found enough of my friends to be true
To make me keep trusting on.
I've sown many seeds that fell by the way
For the birds to feed upon,
But I've held enough golden sheaves in my hands
To make me keep sowing on.
I've drained the cup of disappointment and pain
And gone many days without song,
But I've sipped enough nectar from the roses of life
To make me want to live on.

Corporate Life....
Have you heard the story of “The Washer man and the Foolish Donkey”?
To refresh your memory, and for the benefit of those who have not grown up listening to this moral story, it goes like this…
There was once a washer man who had a donkey and a dog. One night when the whole world was sleeping, a thief broke into the house, the washer man was fast asleep but the donkey and the dog were awake. The dog decided not to bark since the master did not take good care of him and wanted to teach him a lesson. The donkey got worried and said to the dog that if he doesn't bark, the donkey will have to do something himself. The dog did not change his mind and the donkey started braying loudly. Hearing the donkey bray, the thief ran away, the master woke up and started beating the donkey for braying in the middle of the night for no reason.
Moral of the story “One must not engage in duties other than his own"
Now take a new look at the same story…
The washer man was a well educated man from a premier management institute. He had the fundas of looking at the bigger picture and thinking out of the box. He was convinced that there must be some reason for the donkey to bray in the night. He walked outside a little and did some fact finding, applied a bottom up approach, figured out from the ground realities that there was a thief who broke in and the donkey only wanted to alert him about it. Looking at the donkey's extra initiative and going beyond the call of the duty, he rewarded him with lot of hay and other perks and became his favorite pet. The dog's life didn't change much, except that now the donkey was more motivated in doing the dog's duties as well. In the annual appraisal the dog managed a “meets requirement”. Soon the dog realized that the donkey is taking care of his duties and he can enjoy his life sleeping and lazing around. The donkey was rated as “star performer". The donkey had to live up to his already high performance standards. Soon he was over burdened with work and always under pressure and now is looking for a job rotation…
