1)- COMMENTS:-
One reader volunteered himself to present his Thoughts in our Blog under Title-ANUBHAVAM PAZHAMAI in contrast to our Blog- ANUBHAVAM PUDHUMAI! After all, Old is Gold for ever!His Thoughts will henceforth form part of our Blog as & when such text is received! Here is an example, sent by him as the First part focusing on our ' Life-style '!
1.1)- ANUBHAVAM PAZHAMAI
DIVINE ADVICE
Todays lifestyle – We change our food habits everyday, dress, thinking, actions and so on. But do we tend to change the lifestyle!? No we don’t.
Here is a quote from Srimad Bhagvat Gita Chapt.vi sloka 17 –
YUKHTAHARA VIHARASYA YUKHTACHESHTASYA KARMASU
YUKHTASVAPANAVA BHODHASYA YOGO BHAVATHI DUKHAHA:
He who is moderate in food, movements, action engagement, sleep, wakefullness attains ‘yoga’ which destroys misery. – what is misery – suffering and distress not only mind and spirit but also body whose importance Vedanta has always recognised.
Diseases are on the rise and this is plainly because our lifestyle has become indisciplined, chaotic and messed up and the human psyche is unable to confront and handle the consequences with the result repercussions in the form of stress, BP,sugar etc etc and other bodily conditions aree plaquing the people. The solution for arresting the downslide in health is not difficult. Implement Sri Krishna’s advice – Vedas and also medical experts.
In Astrological parlance, diseaes are the results of the SINS committed in previous births. Remedies are to perform prescribedd Japams, charity, observing our cultue and customs, belief in God besides medical care.

6)- INSTALLING LOVE
Author Unknown
Just read & enjoy the Hidden message!
Tech Support: Yes, ... how can I help you?
Customer: Well, after much consideration, I've decided to install Love. Can you guide me though the process?
Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?
Customer: Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready. What do I do first?
Tech Support: The first step is to open your Heart. Have you located your Heart?
Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now. Is it okay to install Love while they are running?
Tech Support: What programs are running?
Customer: Let's see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge, and Resentment running right now.
Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory but it will no longerdisrupt other programs. Love will eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High Self-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed. Can you turn those off?
Customer: I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?
Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have been completely erased.
Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is thatnormal?
Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.
Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, "Error - Program notrun on external components." What should I do?
Tech Support: Don't worry. It means that the Love program is set up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart. In non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before you can Love others.
Customer: So, what should I do?
Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive-Self; Realize Your Worth; and Acknowledge your Limitations.
Customer: Okay, done.
Tech Support: Now, copy them to the "My Heart" directory. The system willoverwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.
Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over My Heart.Is this normal?
Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed and running.
One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give itand its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with others and return some coolmodules back to you.
Hope you had understood the Message of LOVE!

Tired of being asked where I am from!
Ariane Sherine
Looking a bit brown in London still means being asked where you're from.
So here's a ready-made answer for the overly curious. Last weekend, I had The Conversation for the 3,897th time — and this time, it took place in central London just two roads away from the hospital where I was born. As usual, it went like this:
Stranger: Where are you from? (Translation: You look a bit brown. Why are you brown?)
Me: London.
Stranger: No, where are you really from? (Translation: You are clearly telling me untruths. Brown people do not come from London.)
Me: London.
Stranger (exasperated) : No, where are your parents from? (Translation: Now you're just being obtuse.)
Me: Africa and America.
Stranger (confused): Erm ... so where are your family from, like, back in the day? (Translation: People who come from Africa and America do not look like you.)
Me: Iran, India, Africa, America and England.
Stranger (relieved): India and Iran! Do you ever go back? At this point, I have to explain that it's hard to go back to somewhere you have never been. I've lived in London since I was a zygote, have a London accent and don't speak any languages except English — yet just because I'm cashew-coloured, I'm often questioned about my heritage.
Over the last five years, I've been asked: “What's your caste?” (I haven't broken any bones); “Do you go to temple?” (only on my way to Temple tube station by the Thames); and “Do you need special food?” (as though the answer's going to be: “Yes, St Peter isn't going to let me in if I've munched on a bit of dead pig/cow/giraffe” ).
It's not that I'm embarrassed about my ethnic background. I don't think about it much, though it's good for jokes (“I'm half Iranian, half American — so basically, I hate myself”). But some people seem to want me to think about it. “Why don't you visit Bombay?” they enthuse. “You'd love it.” They may be right, but have yet to explain to me why I'd love it more than Tokyo, or Guatemala, or any of the other places I haven't yet been. It's an odd misconception that you should somehow feel connected to a far-flung country because your ancestors lived there centuries ago, even if your entire life has been spent morris dancing in Loughborough. It's not that I think the questioners are all differently faced versions of the far right, either. I don't — they're probably just curious (except perhaps for the bloke who made a constipated noise when I told him my dad was white). People with a different appearance often seem more interesting than those who look everyday, and questioners are clearly hoping for a more satisfying response than the mundane “Right here.” When they don't receive one, they probe. So my reluctance to enter The Conversation isn't due to shame or to fear of any dubious ulterior motives. It's partly down to exasperation at people thinking I'm less British than them because I'm brown, but it's mainly down to extreme boredom. The rundown of my convoluted four-continent- spanning genealogy takes ages unless I lie, and I've started to deliver it in a funereal voice more monotonous than Tiger Woods's public apology.
Luckily, I've come up with a solution (one that could work for anyone in this situation, though you'll have to write your own version). I'm going to print out large business cards, and the next time anyone tries to initiate The Conversation and doesn't accept “London” as the answer, I shall furnish them with the following: “Hello! You may be surprised to learn that I have been asked this question before. Never fear: you shall have your explanation shortly. (Would you like to buy a TV by the way? I have one for sale; Samsung, five years old. Bit flickery, to be honest.) Right, are you sitting comfortably? Armchair? Cup of tea? Eccles cake? Then here goes: My maternal ancestors are Parsi Zoroastrians (I'm not making this up) and hail from sunny Iran, currently home to uranium obsessives. Between AD700 and AD1000 the Parsis left Persia, as it was then called (I don't know the precise date, they didn't leave a note), and travelled to India. They stayed there for around a thousand years before getting a bit bored again (are you bored yet? I am, but then I'm quite familiar with this story) and upping sticks for east Africa in the early 1900s. My grandad was a builder, though later he imported unfashionable jumpers from Nairobi featuring large pictures of sheep. They were the bane of my life in the playground, I can tell you.
In 1966, lured by the fine climate and that lovely Enoch Powell, my mother's family moved to Britain and have been here ever since. They speak English and everything. Sadly I can't say the same for my father's family, who are all white Americans and live in the States. He moved here in 1970 and met my mother in London in 1978, though declined to apply for British citizenship. Do you know, this means I'm allowed to vote in U.S. elections though I've never been there? It sounds glamorous, but in 2008 I ended up voting for Barack Obama by fax from south London, which wasn't very exciting. So, that's the answer you were after. But me? I'm from London.”
