School Life - Most of us could never forget these days where in we were like butterflies without any troubles in life. When we were kids we always used to think that we are the ones who have the most troubles in life like studying for exams, getting good marks, participating in a competition, winning prizes and the so.We always wanted to grow big soon now knowing what was waiting there for us.
I always believe that we not only learn text lessons but also life lessons in school. If you ask any school student which subject they like the most , they will say the subject whose teacher they like the most. One of my aunt who was a teacher used to tell me "I like being a school teacher because you get the hero/heroine worship there". Thats very true. If school kids are impressed by the teachers ,they like the subject they teach. How many teachers from your school days do yoou remember. I am sure you will remember the ones whom you liked.
Its a great responsibility for the teachers to make students like the subject. Studies should be always simple. When i was learning graphs in Maths in school days , they just taught me how to plot the graphs.I was confused and i used to think what is this plotting going to do in my life.Instead if they could have taught me with a practical example i know i would have understood it much better.
When i learnt Trigonometry i never had a clue what cosine , sine and tan angles will do for me in life. I never understood why i was studying them.Later in life you understand their practical meanings.But when you are learning them initially if you had been told what it is for, why it is for, where it is used and how it is used our perspective would have been different.
Lesson go well into your head when they come with simple practical examples. I really don't know if this is the case only with me or everyone.When a kid is learning maths instead of asking him to count 2+2 ask him what would you get when you add two more chocolates? He would learn it better.There is a way of learning everything. Understanding and learning will yield good results.The teachers should help the students to make them understand things better.
Some famous quotes by Einstein:
The wireless telegraph is not difficult to understand. The ordinary telegraph is like a very long cat. You pull the tail in New York, and it meows in Los Angeles. The wireless is the same, only without the cat.– Albert Einstein
You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.– Albert Einstein
I tried to imagine the easiest way God could have done it.– Albert Einstein
"Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT'S relativity."

P J s
1)Pinku walks into a bar and orders 3 glasses of beer, drinks a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes, he comes back to the bar counter and orders three more glasses. The bartender asks him, “You know, beer goes flat after I fill it in the glass; it would taste better if you buy one at a time.”
Pinku replies, “Well, you see, I have two friends, Chinku and Minku. They both stay in different places… When we met, we promised that we’ ll drink this way to remember the moments when we drank together.”
Pinku becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way. He orders three beers and drinks them in turn. One day, Pinku comes in and orders only two beers. All the other regulars notice and fall silent.
When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, “I don’ t want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my sincere condolences on your great loss” Pinku looks confused for a moment. Then he laughs. “Oh, no,” he says, “Everything’ s fine. Both my friends are alive and kicking . The only thing is, I just quit drinking.”
2)Question:Whatz a PJ ?
Answer: Obviously "a poor joke"

Solitude
I was talking to my mom on the other day this topic came to my mind. I remember the poem Solitary Reaper by William Wordsworth which i learnt in my 8th std i think. The poem goes like this.
Behold her, single in the field,
Yon solitary Highland Lass!
Reaping and singing by herself;
Stop here, or gently pass!
Alone she cuts and binds the grain,
And sings a melancholy strain;
O listen! for the Vale profound
Is overflowing with the sound.
I remember the days of our parents when they used to work, take care of us, manage to be in touch with relatives, go for vacation, do everything in life..I really don't know how they managed to do everything in life.Nowadays the kind of work we are in, we rarely find time to see each other in the family.And as most of the decent jobs are in cities like Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Delhi, Pune, Mumbai and the so, we live there like nomads.Its even worse for people who live in US.
Nowadays because of the software, today's youth has started earning more than what they should do before 22 years of age. Dads are so proud that they say "Your starting salary was the one i got when i retired". So they become independent and enjoy life as they wish. They do think about parents. But they can't find time inbetween their busy life.Their thought about parents ends with one phone call per day. I am also in the list.
My mom used to tell me almost everyday that she misses me and would like to see me.Now that i am at home , i feel lonely and have all the time in the world not knowing what to do. So i know how lonelisness can be painful and lead you to stress. My mom was also a working lady like me. She got her voluntary retirement long back. Now that both her children are not with her and she stays in the house with my dad , with all the time in the world and not knowing what to do, She waits for our calls everyday.Thats the only moment of the day she will be happy.And then 1 hour before and after that she thinks about the call.For cooking and other household chores she might need 2 hours. For talking to children one hour. Thinking abt it 2 hours.For sleeping to the max of 9 hours.She might watch TV for 3 hours.Still she is left out with 9 hours. I wanted to ask my mom what she would do in those hours. But i somehow feel afraid and guilty to ask that.
I was thinking about my granny who never lived with us tilll she died. The reason she says is " I feel like being tied up in a jail". My granny used to live in a village where people in the village whomsoever passes by the house stops by to ask how she is talks some sweet nothings.She had lot of friends there.Now i know why my granny never came and stayed with us. In my mother's case, there are no one to stop by like that .Loneliness is hell. And loneliness in old age is worse than hell.I used to tell my mom to come and stay with me.But she says she cannot be here with me after a certain time. She becomes restless after that.
She has to really wait for Diwali, Pongal, long weekends and something or the other reason for her kids to turn up. My mother used to tell me the story "Tresspassers are prohibited" when i go there. This is a difficult situation for both the children and the parents. These days i have started thinking what me and my husband are going to do when we become old.
Life is very unfair.Now that i have a kid i always admire him , love him , adore him etc etc. But i know this is going to be in one direction.I am not saying that my son will not love me.But when he grows up his focus will be more on his kids and family rather than me. Thats a bitter truth. When i realise this truth i am starting to appreciate my parents more. I start thinking how they would have loved me and adored me and what all they did for me.
Am going to call my mom.Catch u later ..Bye,....

Seven Year itch
The most sweet and wonderful part of life is during the time your marriage gets fixed until the initial years of marriage.(Don't ask me after inital years..hehehe). Me and my husband were talking to a mutual friend of ours and during the course of our talk i said " Smile always. You never know who will fall in love with your smile". The freind asked "So did you fall in love with your husband?" . I said "He used to smile a lot in the initial period of our togetherness.Now he smiles rarely.(Heheheh...i am not the reason for it)". My husband replied "We tend to smile more when we don't know the person much". Might be true. I remembered some jokes about husband and wife. The story goes like this....
1) One beautiful Sunday morning, people gathered in a local church. Suddenly at the altar, the Devil appeared! The worshipers began screaming and running for the front door, crushing each other in their efforts to escape the Devil.
Soon, everyone was evacuated from the church except for one man, who sat calmly in his place, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God’s ultimate enemy was in his presence. This confused the Devil. He walked up to the man and said, “HEY, DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?” THE MAN SAID, “YES, I SURE DO.” DEVIL SAID, “WELL AREN’T YOU AFRAID OF ME?” THE MAN SAID, “NO. I AM NOT.” DEVIL WAS CONFUSED AND ASKED, “AND WHY ARE YOU NOT AFRAID OF ME?” THE MAN SAID, “WELL, I’VE BEEN MARRIED TO YOUR SISTER FOR 30 YEARS!”
2) I told him that my wife is an angel. He looked me straight in the eye and said: “You’re lucky, mine’s still alive.”
There is something called Seven Year itch. That means that after seven years of marriage many couples grow bored with marriage.Things become so routine that the thrill is gone. The exciting and once beautiful spouse becomes the person that they don’t like,can't change and can't tolerate.
To keep your marriage working keep the fire burning.Well, how to keep the fire burning?
Here are some tips
1) Don't let the routine overshadow your relationship, means there should not be anything that is routine. Be creative and try to live life differently everyday
2) Birthdays, Anniversaries etc are not only the important days. Try to make 2 days important in every month.Buy gifts for your spouse. Gifts need not be costly. Even a pen would do. Gifts are a way to say " I REMEMBERED YOU".
3) You must send him or her flowers just for the sake of sending them to express your love.
4)You must be committed to love your spouse even when you don’t like them very much, because things might change as days go by.
5)Always think of the good memories you had together and don't forget to share them.
6)Respect the other individual.Let them be in their own personal space.
7)Discuss everything with your spouse. Don't hide things.
8)Both the partners should always know money matters. Have a financial plan and work together towards the goal.
9) Even a small act of love could bring a lot of difference.Atleast once everyday try to say one kind or compliment word.
10)Try to appreciate and encourage your spouse even when they achieve something small.
11)Always try to have some time alone with the spouse everyday.
12)Go on vacation once in a while
13)Always listen to what the other person has to say.

19) Always be frank with your spouse,.If you dont like something tell him/her. Talk about it during your good time together.
20)Find time to call your spouse atleast once during your work.
21)Its anyway 2 different individuals and you might have a lot of differences.But when you fight, try to finish it by the end of the day and have a good sleep.Don't let the fight disturb your sleep.It will keep accumulating hatred for the other person. Never go to sleep with an argument unsettled.As you know Men are from Mars and women are from Venus.They are two extremely diferent thinking individuals.Every couple fights in life. Don't ever think that you are the only one who is screwed up.Try to think of ways to overcome your fights.
22)Never ever have a communication gap between you and your spouse. If you feel you have a gap the reason might be you .Try to be considerate.
23)Never both be angry at the same time
24)Never yell at each other unless the house is on fire
25)If one of you has to win an argument let it be your spouse
26)If you have to criticize do it lovingly
27)Never bring mistakes of the past
29)When you are wrong admit it
30)Never allow ego inbetween you both. Be the first one to forgive. No egos allowed in a marriage.
31)It takes two to make a quarrel and the one whos wrong does most of the talking.
Well giving tips is always easy.Following them is the most difficult part. I am also trying hard to follow these tips.Hope i will succeed one day.
I remembered another joke when i was writing this article. Its really not a joke. It has a good truth of successful marriage.
A husband comes fully drunk to the house.while parking the car in the garage he damages it and upon entering the house breaks all the cutlery in the dining table, vomits and shouts at his wife. The next day when he woke up he sees that the house is neatly done, clothes ironed, hot water ready for him, good food cooked in the table and a note saying "I love you". He was confused. he asked his son "What happened yesterday". He said what all happened and finally said "When mama was dragging you to clean you , you said "Lady leave me alone.I am married".
STAY COMMITTED- whatever be it. Thats the magical word that keeps your relationship running.
Happy married life and good luck... :)

5) My Malgudi Days
By the very word Malgudi days everyone thinks about different things that has happened in their life. For me Malgudi days is my childhood memories.
There is always a general compliant about youngsters..
"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."
Do you know who told these lines and when was it said?
This was said by Socrates. When you read this you can find that this is applicable to today's youngsters also.
"What is happening to our young people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets inflamed with wild notions.Their morals are decaying. What is to become of them?"
- Pluto
Here's another one:
"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words... When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise[disrespectful] and impatient of restraint"
- Hesiod, 8th century BC
I would like to relate something like this in my life..
When we were kids(Me and my brother), we used to go to our paternal granny's place during vacation. My mother used to tell us that when we come back my parents had to take us to the hospital for fever, cold or something alike. Since my mother was also a working lady you can imagine how it would have been. So whenever we go to our granny's place my Dad used to be very careful. At this time i would like to remember our granny.She was such a nice lady.Loved us like anything.She is no more now. She used to go crazy when we go there. She used to take us out and buy us chocolates and other things from road side. I remember my dad and my granny fighting for this. My Dad used to say " Ma..Dont do this..When we go back we cant take leave and take the kids to hospital".But my Granny had her own ways. She used to reply "When the kids asks something i cannot refuse".
Today when i go to my parent's house with my kid my Dad does the same thing. Atleast he doesnt buy things from road side but still he buys eatables for my son saying "When he asks something i can't refuse". Some things never change. The fight still continues...... :)

Today when i go to my parent's house with my kid my Dad does the same thing. Atleast he doesnt buy things from road side but still he buys eatables for my son saying "When he asks something i can't refuse". Some things never change. The fight still continues...... :)

4)Calvin & Hobbes
I started reading this 4 years back.Have become a great fan ever since.Hope you would also love it. Here is the intro of the characters in the comic series.
Calvin
Hobbes
Calvin's mom and dad
Moe
Calvin
******
Calvin is the main character in Calvin and Hobbes and feels, like we all do at 6 years old, that the world revolves around him. He is actually quite a smart kid, he just seems to be lacking some common sense sometimes. Because of this he is constantly getting into trouble and causing havoc. Calvin often blames Hobbes for his misbehaviour which results in him ending up in more trouble.
Hobbes
*******
Hobbes is Calvin's best and only friend. He is actually a stuffed toy but Calvin sees him as alive and well. He likes to pounce on Calvin and torment him with his (supposed) knowledge of everything but when it comes down to it, he loves Calvin as much as Calvin loves him.
Hobbes is Calvin's best and only friend. He is actually a stuffed toy but Calvin sees him as alive and well. He likes to pounce on Calvin and torment him with his (supposed) knowledge of everything but when it comes down to it, he loves Calvin as much as Calvin loves him.
Calvin's mom and dad
********************
Calvin's parents do an incredibly good job of bringing him up considering the things he gets up to. Despite this, they both often lose their temper with him but more often than not, they get the situation under control. They were childhood sweethearts and look like they'll be together for ever
Susie Derkins
************
Susie is Calvin's next door neighbour and absolutely adores Hobbes. She is incredibly smart but doesn't seem to have many friends, hoping one day to become Calvin's. Calvin always tries his hardest to get one over on Susie, though this is probably because he likes her.
Rosalyn
*******
*******
Rosalyn is Calvin's babysitter. She is probably the only person Calvin is frightened of, and the only person that will babysit Calvin. Calvin's Mom and Dad are prepared to pay Rosalyn's prices once in a while, just to escape Calvin for a night. It is a surprise Rosalyn continues to babysit as every time she does Calvin seems to think up a plan to cause trouble for her.
Moe
****
Moe is the school bully and seems to always be on the lookout for Calvin to steal his lunch money or just to beat him up. Despite this Calvin doesn't actually seem to be afraid of Moe (despite constant beatings) and quite enjoys c
onfusing and insulting him, which isn't hard.
onfusing and insulting him, which isn't hard. Miss Wormwood
**************
Miss Wormwood is Calvin's teacher and is near to retirement. She is constantly stressed out by Calvin, she smokes a lot and seems to be on medication. Because of this you actually feel quite sorry for her.
Stupendous man
***************
One of Calvin's alter ego's, Stupendous Man came about from a costume Calvin's Mom made for him. Now, every time he put's it on he becomes a comic book super hero, though he tends to save himself from work rather than saving the world from danger.
Spaceman Spiff
*************
Another of Calvin's fantasy characters, Spaceman Spiff is an intergalactic hero and seems to help Calvin escape from reality the most by taking him as far from Earth as possible. He is usually found on an alien planet after being shot down by unknown forces, only to be confronted by horrible aliens.
Tracer Bullet
***********
Calvin's imagination also creates Tracer Bullet, a private investigator who drinks, smokes and carries a revolver. The Tracer Bullet comic strips are all done in black and white 'film noir' style.

2)US - what i learnt
Tips for short term US visitors
********************************
As you all know coming to US for the first time is a different experience for everyone.Bye Bye phone calls to freinds and relatives, shopping, medicines, hair cuts and many more things. I have made a list of what all things to carry (out of my own experience), when you are coming to US for the first time on a short trip.
1) Proper dresses, ie) If you are coming in a winter take more of sweaters,wollen clothes.Avoid cotton dresses. Ladies can carry mix and match dresses.This might reduce your luggage and give you variety to wear.Make your dress choice simple because in winter only your jackets or sweaters will be visible outside.
2)Belts
3)Proper Shoes,Socks and chappals (again depending on the climate)
4)Bathroom accessories
5) Visit a parlor and have a haircut, facial , what ever you want to do.Men can go for a summer cut as hair cut is costly in US.
6)Safety Pins
7)Needle and Thread
8)Empty RW DVDs and CDs
9)Take photocopies of all your important documents and give one copy to any of your close ones in India.
10)Always have the valuables like certificates, important documents, jewels, electronic items like
camera in your hand luggage.
11)Winter Accessories like Gloves, Sweaters, Jackets, Hoods,Thermals (if you are going in winter)
12)Pooja items - Small Swami pictures, Deepam(Diya),KumKum,Vibhoothi (If you are really specific about this)
13)Have all the important phone numbers of your closed ones(both US and India) in a mail and have a print out of the same in your hands also.
14) Have a copy of your passport at home and carry one also
15)Dont forget to have some Indian money in hands, because this might help when you are coming back.
16)Dont take much of jewels.Go with the minimum possible.
17)When you are carrying a laptop charge it fully before the travel
18)Always pack your bathroom accessories and 2 sets of dresses in your hand luggage, this might help you if your checked in luggage comes late.
19)If you wear a specs or contact lens, be sure to get an extra one so that it can help you in case one is broken.
20)Carry your international driving permit/Indian driving License/US license if you have one.
21)If you are a frequent visitor to US carry all your original US related documents.Give a photocopy to any of your closed ones in India.
22)Whe you are coming on a short term for 6 months, charge your Indian mobile with validity for more than 6 months so that you might not lose the number.
23)Change all your bank accounts addresses to your parents address or your closed ones in India.This might help you in having all your mails from your bank.In case your online bank account gets locked you can issue a password request, so that your parents might get it and tell you the password.
Kitchen
*******
1) Pressure cooker with whistle
2)Extra gaskette for the pressure cooker
3)Idiyappam Maker
4)Dosa kal
5)Frying pan(Vessels are costly here. If you are coming on a short term its better to get some minimum things )
6)Sambhar powder, Curry Masal Powder, Idli podi,Paruppu podi etc.
7)Rice,Dhal,Noodles,Ready to cook items. This might help you till you get settled/get a car/overcome your your jet lag
Medicines
*********
In US we dont get all medicines over the counter. So its good if we carry some medicines with us.
1)Carry medicines for Fever(Paracetamol), Cold(Vicks Action 500),Dysentry,Indigestion(Gelusil),Vommiting, Throat Infection,Head Ache.
2)Along with this carry Pain killers,Pain Balms, Cold relief Balms, Band Aids, Cough Syrup,Itch relief creams etc.
Babies
*****
1)If you are travelling with a baby carry all baby items like diapers, Feeding bottles, Bottle brush, few set of dresses, bibs, baby powder,Baby wipes,small toys, medicines for the baby,hair brush,socks and shoes in hand luggage. Also carry a pair of gloves, sweater and other winter accesoories you might need, in hand luggage if you are travelling in winter season.
2) When you are travelling abroad with babies, make sure to visit your peadiatrician for a normal check up and get medicines for fever,cold,dysentry,diarhhoea,rashes etc. Take a print out of babies' medical immunization records and other medical records and get it attested from your peadiatrician so that it might help you when you are going for a peadiatrician visit in US.
3)Make sure to get a hair cut for the babies also
4)Always take baby strollers with you as it might help you releived in immigration queues, transits and in airports when the baby is sleeping.You can take the stroller till the entrance of the flight , from there your stroller will be checked in and you can get the same when you are exiting from the flight.
I remember an incident here. When our son was born my husband was in US and we both (myself and my son) were in India.So he came to India to see our kid. When he was returning back we had decided that me and my son will join him in the next 3 months. He was thinking about how i will take my kid in the flight all the time. He saw a lady with a baby in stroller. He never thought that they would allow strollers in flight. He had thought that they provide strollers in airport like they give assistance for the disabled and aged people. So in order to get the information he had asked her "From where did you take this?". She replied"Its mine". He asked again " I know you have got it.But from where did you get this?".She got irritated obviously and replied again " i didn't take it from anywhere.Its mine" and she moved away from the place. ;)
Have a safe travel.....All the Best :)

US- Dream land for many Indians aspired me also. So when my hubby got a US chance we literally grabbed it. Since I was pregnant at that time i couldn't accompany my husband to US. I planned to join him later with my kid.
My husband used to warn me about immigration stuff. He actually prepared me like i was going to attend an interview. All 3- me , my
mom n dad, had a questionnaire and were preparing for about a month or so.
It was on Feb 7th 2007 me , my kid, my mom and dad travelled to US. We reached Newark early in the morning. There was a long queue for Immigration. I have heard a lot and seen more in movies about immigration problems in US, but never thought it would happen to me. When we were in the flight, the flight attendant gave us some Immigration forms to be filled up. I filled up a single form for all 4 of us.
When we were waiting in the queue my saturn transition - sani peyarchi :) happened. My son started crying. He was continuosly crying without a break.The airport authorities there tried to put me in the front of the queue. But since i had my parents with me and had filled up a single form for all 4 the immigration people did not allow me in front.I had to wait with a crying baby all through. My husband was eagerly waiting outside to see his son for the second time. -First time was when he came to India when our kid was born).
When my turn came i was standing in front of the immigration officer with the crying baby. I have heard a lot about the courtesy of Americans. But what happened was something different.The mistake was mine also.Because of the crying baby i was not paying attention to what the officer was asking me.
He was irritated.I tried offering a toy to my son which fell down with a loud sound.Suddenly I was surrounded by the immigration people and the airport authorities.They all thought i was a anti social activist.The immigration officer who was interviewing me had his hands in his gun. My God - i never imagined US would be such a nightmare.My mom had already started praying to all Gods she know and had promised them what all she will do when she comes back alive to India. My Dad who always was a great admirer of US and every sentence in his speech includes a praise to US was almost dumbstruck.You can imagine what all we would have gone through to explain what happened really.
Then i came down to the luggage lobby to only find my kids' stroller was broken. All our luggages were circulating in the lugagge belt. I had no place to put my kid and no money to take a stroller to put my luggages.I was waiting in the luggage lobby for my parents with only my passport in hands.
In the mean time my mom and dad has to fill the form again for them, which they did 3 times. My Dad who always used to remember even his 10th std hallticket number forgot his first name.My parents were able locate me by the crying sound of my son- That was the only good thing happened because of his crying. My husband who was waiting outside started asking people " Is there anyone with the baby who was sent back to India because of Immigration problems??". Atlast when we came out my Dad asked my husband "can you give me the questionaire to prepare for immigration process when we go back".
The second time when we came to US - it was me, my hubby and kid.My son was 16 months old then. He likes balls- pronounces them as Bomb. Whenever and whereever he sees anything round he says "amma bomb bomb".When we were standing in the immigration queue there was a teenager having a ball in his hands. I was almost about to faint when my son started shouting "Amma bomb bomb". NOT AGAIN.
