Happy birthday

  Birthday greetings to NGS.  Many happy returns!

Vimala and Jayaraman

The Old Photo from Jayaram

It is very difficult. I think the two children sitting are Thambi and Kanga, the standing boys are Raja and Ramani and the girl, judging from the age, could be Thangamma.

A joke

As heard on Radio one couple of days back:

Doc (to patient) - After so many months of treatment do you see any improvement?
Patient - Definitely doctor. The nurse talks very well with me now!!

Hehe. Good night :)

one more to come later

Please check out this image & take a guess on who these 'little children' are ... ALL THE BEST

PARABROSDOKIAN

To follow the earlier postings from Jayaram and others, here is another parabrosdokian:

A friend in need is no friend of mine.

I wish Divya and NGS a happy birthday.

Yes, I am happy to see Krishnakumar participating in the blog.

-Ramakrishnan.

Happy b'day

Wishing Divya a very very happy birthday. Hope you have a great day

Happy birthday

Family Booklet

Just saw Kumar anna's comment to appa's post.
Responding to that through a new post - Kumar anna, I have actually been assigned the task of scanning it and sharing it with all our family members. Would definitely try to do it by this weekend

LOL

Perippa, that's a tongue-breaker (if there's ever one like that), lol

A joke from me now:

A young man shopping in a supermarket noticed a little old lady
following him around. If he stopped, she stopped.
Furthermore she kept staring at him.
She finally overtook him at the checkout.
She turned to him and said,
"I hope I haven't made you feel ill at ease;
it's just that you look so much like my late son."
He answered, "That's okay."
"I know it's silly, but if you'd call out "Good bye, Mom"
as I leave the store, It would make me feel so happy."
She then went through the checkout,
And as she was on her way out of the store,
The man called out, "Goodbye, Mom."

The little old lady waved, and smiled back at him.
Pleased that he had brought a little sunshine into someone's day,

he went to pay for his groceries.
"That comes to $121.85," said the clerk..
"How come so much? I only bought 5 items!"
The clerk replied, "Yeah, but your Mother said
You'd be paying for her things, too."

Bet you thought this was going to be a tear jerker

para..pro..brahmam, hahaha! put a smile on my lips, sure to forget the word!

Gayathri

Words

PARAPROSDOKIANS
 Here is the Wikipedia
definition of this word:
"Figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence
or phrase is surprising or unexpected; frequently used
in a humorous situation."
"Where there's a will, I want to be in it," is a type of
paraprosdokian.

Ok, so now consider!
1. Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down
to his level and beat you with experience.

2. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's
still on my list.

From Ramu

" Justice P.R.Sundaram Iyer as a member of the Madras University Syndicate, was instrumental in sending the mathematics wizard Ramanujam to Cambridge; many persons objected as he was not even a graduate, but PRS said if Cambridge was ready to accept him, why he should be denied the chance?."
" A few years ago, when I had gone to Kolkatta with friends, we came across the photograph of PRS in the Vivekananda Museum at Dakshineswar. What a surprise! We read there that PRS was associated with Vivekananda when he visited Madras."
Above is a portion of the write-up by P.V.Lakshmi, in the 9 page booklet distributed by Ashok in the get-together at Sri.Parvathi on Sunday 17th Apr 2011.
It was an excellent get-together. I shall post more details in my next.

Best wishes to Papa on her birthday and to Vichu Sowmya on their wedding day. Many happy returns of the day.
Today I am able to open blog without the problem. Also Akila has told me how to open the blog through blogger.com.
Ramu

Welcome & wishes

A very happy birthday to Papa athai.

It's great to see Kumar anna joining the blog too. Welcome Kumar anna :)

A very happy birthday to Papa and many returns with good health and happiness.

Ramakrishnan.

I myself did not remember Sowmya's wedding anniversary till that morning and sent her a mail since, I could not sign into the blog at that time.

-Ramakrishnan.

Dear Ramki mama & J-mama,

Thanks as always for the lovely wishes & blessings. I've missed visiting the blog, so thanks for the prod!

I showed read Ketan your wishes, and also showed your photos to both Kiran & Ketan so they could relate the wishes to the great folks sending them. The boys inquired about Ramki mama's health since they remembered he was recovering from surgery when we visited. Hard to believe Ketan is 9... He is almost 5'2" and a small man at a tender age! Scary to think about the teen years!

Our love & best to all, as also belated Vishu greetings!

kk and family

Happy birthday

Birthday greetings, Papa.  Many happy returns!

Message from KK

Here's a message received for the blog from Krishnakumar through KN:

"Dear mamas,

Thanks as always for the lovely wishes & blessings.  I've missed visiting the blog, so thanks for the kick in the butt!

I showed Ketan your photos so they could relate the wishes to the great folks sending them.  The boys inquired about Ramki mama's health since they remembered he was recovering from surgery when we visited.  Hard to believe Ketan is 9...

Kumar, I hope you will now join the blog as a member and post a message now and then, whenever you find time.  Also, do send me a set of photos of your family members individually, taken recently, for use in the blog.  Best wishes.

Wishes

Wishing Sowmya akka and Vichu athimber a very happy anniversary. Hope you all had a great day

Perippa, yes appa has been saying he's unable to access the blog. I will try to help him sort it out during the weekend.

Wedding anniversary

Belated greetings to Sowmya and Vichu on their wedding anniversary.  Here's wishing Varshaya success in the competition.


Why didn't Ramakrishnan (or anyone else) point out the omission in the list of celebrities?  Ramu used to tell me about omissions but he says he has not been able to access the blog for some time now.


Jayaraman

Vichu Sowmya

Yesterday 20th April was Vichu Sowmya Wedding Anniversary and I find that Jayaram has not included it in the month's list.

Yesterday, they, along with Varshaya, have left for Cleveland where Varshaya is going to compete in a Music Competition in connection with the well-known three day Cleveland Thyagaraja Araadhana which is conducted every year this time. We went for this when Saradam and I were in Connecticut in 1995, when Varshaya was born. On the way we also attended the three day Thyagaraja Aaradhana in Baltimore where Vichu's brother Bala was staying and his wife Kalpana sang. Her Guru was D.K.Nagarajan, brother of DKJ. Pannai Sundaram's daughter Kamala's son Shankar and his family also came with us in another car and it was such a jolly trip. He is such a fan of Madurai Mani and keeps listening to his recordings and does not have recordings of anybody else.

-Ramakrishnan.

Hello

A very happy anniversary to Mythili athai and athimber on their wedding anniversary today. Belated birthday wishes to Ketan. We had been to Bangalore for the holidays. It was very short trip for just about 3 days. We decided not to combine Mysore with this as it might be very tiring for V. It was quite relaxed. We decided to split each day so that one half is for site-seeing and the other shopping. What trip to Bangalore is complete without shopping ;) Have sent the link to the photos in an email

Slokam by Gayathri

Here's a clip from a recent concert Ram Navami concert by Gayathri.  Very well done. Enjoy!

Ramya's song

Visit this link to listen to one of Ramya's songs for the movie '180'.  A fine performance, I think.

Happy Birthday and Many Happy Returns to Kethan. I am late as I had a bad cough and did not touch the computer for a few days. Hope Krishnamumar sees this and conveys our greetings to Kethan. It will be nice if KK responds by a short posting.

From Ramu

It was a nice song by Yesudos, thanks Jayaramanna. On this occasion of Rama Navami, I remember Kunjappa (PSC). What a great Rama bhaktha he was. He used to chant Ramayana aloud and will complete ( I think ) in 14 days. He used to do this many times a year. On the last day, Rama Pattabhishekham, he used to do special puja with special neivedhyam. His leisure time was writing Sri Ramajayam. His absolute devotion gave him,excellent sons - daughters-inlaw, daughters - sons-inlaw, and many excellent grandchildren. Ramu

Happy birthday

Birthday greetings to Ramesh.  Many happy returns!

Jai Shri Ram!

Best wishes to the family on the occasion of Ram Navami.  It is appropriate that on this day we have on the blog a bhajan set to music by Naushad Ali and rendered by Jesudas.

Welcome

I join everybody in welcoming Afreen to the PSC family. Wishing Siddharth and Afreen all the happiness

Welcome, Afreen!

 

The family welcomes Afreen to its fold.  We hope to have her interacting with us all on the blog and elsewhere.  Here she is seen with Siddharth at their wedding reception in Bengaluru on 9 April.


Congratulations and best wishes to the couple.  We pray to the Almighty to grant them lasting peace, good health and happiness in  wedlock.

Jokes: 1. However fast you drive the cycle, the back wheel can not over take the front wheel. 2. Even though dog has four legs, it can not sit cross legged like humans. 3. However costly is your cell phone, you can not make call to yourself. ( from Arattai Arangam in Sun TV ).

Sidhu's quotes

Navjot Singh Sidhu's quotes from yesterday's cricket commentary:

1. It is choice, not chance, that determines your future.

2. What is the use of talent without opportunity (talking about young cricketers with talent).

From Ramu

Jayaramanna's posting about leave letters, reminds me of the following one: For Gayathri's marriage, I applied for leave, in Union Carbide. Suddenly, there was an announcement asking all production staff to assemble in Production Manager's office. Then, the Prodn.Mngr. announced " I am going to tell all of you something which none of us knew till now.PCR's left knee is marrying his right knee. ( I had written in the leave form " my knees's marriage). Ramu

Humour

Present Day English!

This is a collection of leave letters and applications written by people in various places of India ..

1. Infosys, Bangalore : An employee applied for leave as follows:
Since I have to go to my village to sell my land along with my wife, please sanction me one-week leave.

2. This is from Oracle Bangalore:
From an employee who was performing the "mundan" ceremony of his 10 year old son: "as I want to shave my son's head, please leave me for two days.."

3. Another gem from CDAC. Leave-letter from an employee who was performing his daughter's wedding:
"as I am marrying my daughter, please grant a week's leave.." 

From Ramu

1. Pondicherry Congress candidate has announced, if elected, he will give fridge, water filter & Rs.1500 per month to all card holders to buy ration. Chennai Anna Nagar ADMK lady candidate has announced that if elected, she will cancel the proposal to evict people near cooum for metro rail project. Promises like this are given by all candidates. No one has till now promised to provide good roads, safety in roads, electricity, water , etc. 2. Joke: Wife : Darling, today is our 10th wedding day. Why don't you take me to a place where I have not gone till now? Husband : Sure, darling. I will take you to our kitchen!! Ramu

JOKE

Little Sally : Mum, does God go the bathroom ?
Mother: No dear, why do you ask ?
Little Sally: Well, this morning Dad knocked the door and said "Oh, God, are you still there".

From Ramu

1. Today 01 April 2011, was the day for spiritual things& peace , in Virugambakkam & surrounding areas encouraged by the Tamil Nadu Govt., one of the many good things they do. People tried their power of patience, calm and cheer from 09.00 AM to 06.15 PM. Yes. It was the power cut day!!!! 2. Joke: Scots are well known for their stringiness. One Scott couple were living in the 10th floor of a 40 storied building.The husband went to the terrace to adjust the antena, slipped and fell down . As he passed the 10th floor, he shouted to his wife," only one for lunch, only one for lunch". Ramu

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SRIRAM AND MANY HAPPY RETURNS.
