God's grace
has no measure, God's power knows noboundaries. May we all have God's endless blessings today and everyday.

Without God's blessingsnothing can be achieved. Each one have a different way of praying to God.

Some surrender to God that you are everything , I catch your feet tight, bless me in all my works.

Some think of God all the time though they dont sit and pray

Some spend their few hours chanting slokas.

For God all the children are equal.

Due to our past karma we have to go through some difficulties. But if we pray to God we feel light.

Start the work in the name of God
Do the work with the help of God
Finish the work with thanks to God
Because without God nothing is possible

What you are is God's gift to you
What you make of yourself is
your gift to God ]]> iyerviji http://www.indusladies.com/forums/blogs/iyerviji/people-see-god-everyday-but-2394/ http://www.indusladies.com/forums/blogs/iyerviji/look-back-and-look-forward-2385/ Sat, 22 Aug 2009 13:27:17 GMT *When we look back in life we get all the experiences which we faced in life from which we can learn so much.

When we look back in life we get all the experiences which we faced in life from which we can learn so much. Everyday in life is a new experience. We have to keep our eyes open and learn what is good and what is bad. With our experience in life we can teach our children.

When we look forward we find some hope to live. We can achieve something in life if we set a goal. To achieve the goal we try hard and we set our mind in reaching the goal. So that our mind is occupied.

When we look around we can see what is happening. That is the reality.

When we look within we find ourself.

When you are sitting alone you always think of the past when you had nice time with your friends and relations. There are some memorable times which you can never forget in life.

Happy moments spent with loved ones we can never forget. They become memories later.

This year 19th August will be a memorable one for me as I completed 5000 posts in IL and got the Tittle IL Hall of fame. The Tittle is a gift to me for my Birthday. My friends from Coffee Mornings and How r u thread made it more memorable by calling me on my birthday and wishing me. My children , relatives, my office friends, contract bus friends and even my school friend wished me that day.

I was so overjoyed with so many wishes from IL friends. I will never forget this Birthday , though I am old now by years but I am young at heart.

love

If an egg is broken from outside force then life ends and if it breaks from within then life begins. Great things always begin from within..

Love comes from within. A loving person always has a smile on his face. People spend a lifetime searching for happiness
looking for peace but the place where we can find happiness and peace is within ourselves.

We can find happiness in the innocent smile of a child . In their innocent face we forget everything in the world. Blessed are those who realise that.

If we have good friends who are with us always and give encouragement in the things which we do then we are the happiest person to get such good friends.

We come into the world crying. But once we are in our mother's hands we are on the top of the world. While giving milk to the baby only the mother gives everything to the child through her love. In her hands the child is safe. She teaches everything. She only teaches the first step. To be in her lap is a pleasure. This shows the love between a child and a mother.

Later when the child gets a brother or sister the love is shared between the two. But a mother never differentiates between her children. For her all children are equal.
Then the children love each other and start growing together. If there is less difference between two children, then it is easier for the mother to bring them up. If she is a working women, though she leaves the child at home and goes , her thoughts are always about the children. When she comes home she leaves everything and first she spends her time with the children , then only starts her other work.

A mother is always ready to give a hug to her child when she needs it, sometimes she is a friend. Her strength and love guides the child and gives wings to fly. Because of her love, her strength and guidance the child reaches the top of the world. ]]> iyerviji http://www.indusladies.com/forums/blogs/iyerviji/god-could-not-everywhere-so-2242/ http://www.indusladies.com/forums/blogs/iyerviji/do-you-like-eat-out-2241/ Sat, 18 Jul 2009 06:24:18 GMT Most of us are fond of eating outside.

Some go to small Restaurants and some like to have from five star hotels. In some places the food is too good and in some places it is not so good.

Mostly for working women its a boon , as they when they are tired and if only husband and wife are at home they can go to a hotel and have food after coming tired from office. Sometimes sitting at home they can order and eat peacefully at home.

In Mumbai you get Pav Bhaji, Pani puri, Cutlet, Different kinds of Dosas,
Samosas, Batata Vada, Bhajia etc all on the road side. Mumbaikars are very fond of these and in the evenings you can see a big rush in front of the hawkers.

Now a days you even get chapathis and bhaji . So office goers buy these while coming from office.

When we were working , when we were asked to sit late, we used to say we have to go home and cook so cant wait. That time our Director who was a lady used to say u get so many varieties , while going home you can take that and go home and eat.

Now a days life is made easy and it is for us to enjoy. Some people dont like eating out and simplyspending money. They say when we can make everything at home why depend on hotels. It is each one's view.

But sometimes when you see the kitchen of some hotels , you dont feel like eating outside. The food they serve is delicious and outside it is very neat and clean but if you see the kitchen it is not so clean. ]]> iyerviji http://www.indusladies.com/forums/blogs/iyerviji/do-you-like-eat-out-2241/ http://www.indusladies.com/forums/blogs/iyerviji/think-big-thoughts-bu-relish-2238/ Fri, 17 Jul 2009 11:52:01 GMT Never blame a day in your life
Good days give you happiness
Bad days gives you experience
Both are essential in life
All are God's blessings.

We all have good days and bad days in life. When our days are good we feel happy but when they are not good we get disappointed but we dont realise that it is an experience for us.

We should learn to struggle and have patience till we get what we want. Its human tendency to make mistakes but from mistakes only we learn and from the collection of mistakes we achieve success.

All days are not same. When we are with our family around we are happy and when we are alone we feel sad and those days seem to be bad for us.

When the child is playing with their friends and if they do something wrong, then the other child'smother will ask did your mother did not teach u not to do this.

Again in school the teacher will ask the child whether mother did not teach you good things.

For a girl it is a must that she should behave properly , know to cook, dress well etc. When she gets married if she does not know cooking then the in laws will ask your mother did not teach you cooking.

Mothers do teach their children everything. But some children learn and some children dont.Chidlren get their habits not only from their mother's teachings but also it comes from their father's sister or any other close relations. Some people usually say seeing a girl's behaviour aval avaludaya athai yai
kondu irukka meaning she does like her athai. If she does good credit goes to the athai othewise no.

If the girl who comes to her in laws house does not know something the mil can very well teach her as a mother instead of finding fault with her.

Its natural for everyone to blame the mother if the child is not good or not learnt something because everyone thinks the mother has to teach the children everything.

Some mothers are not so smart but their children are smart.

So it becomes the duty of the mother to teach her children everything so that they bring a good name to their parents. ]]> iyerviji http://www.indusladies.com/forums/blogs/iyerviji/mother-blamed-if-child-not-2217/ http://www.indusladies.com/forums/blogs/iyerviji/what-is-your-experience-2215/ Sat, 11 Jul 2009 09:28:37 GMT There is lot of difference between sons and daughters.

Daughters like to share everything with their mother and if they go somewhere and come back they will explain to us everything in detail. They like to do shopping wherever they go. Some daughters are very close to their father and mostly all are close to their mother.

Sons are also close but they dont talk so much as the daughter talks. Their enjoyment in life is different. You ask them they will answer you but they dont tell everything in detail. Some are talkative and bore the other person bytheir talk. But some dont talk much and theother person will wait when they will talk. If they go somewhere on tour and if you ask themhow it was they will just say it was good. If u ask them did you go for shopping theywill say what is there to do shopping everything you get here. Usually mothers would like to know how the place was , what all they ate, what shopping they did etc. A daughter will tell everything in detail where as the sons will just give short and sweet answers. NOt that daughters dont give sweet answers.

While we try to teach our children about life , our children teach us what is life is really about.

Parents have so many dreams about their children. When they are born they feel so happy and want to give them all the pleasures in life especially when they have not enjoyed pleasures as a child as they could not afford at that time.

They watch the child grow and in every stage of their life they feel happy to see their progress.

They give them all the facilities in life so that they dont suffer. But a father should also make a child known the difficulties in life so that later the child does not suffer.

The father who does not teach his son his duties is equally guilty with the son who neglects them.

The father who expects too much from a son later on gets disappointed. If he keeps his name and turns out to be according to his expecation then he is very happy.

Happiness is having a large, loving ,caring
close-knit family.

Never explain yourself to anyone because the person who likes you does not need it and the person who dislikes you does not believe it.

Many a times if a friend suddenly stops talking to us or if we had any arguements regarding something we try to explain ourselves to them, but if the friend is close to us and knows us well will forgive us and listen to what we say but if the friend is not so close and does not know us well will not believe what we say and it ends up in misundersanding each other.

Some people dont bother about these things and they dont care whether that friend talks to them or not.

But some need everyone and like to be friendly with everyone and dont like to hurt anyone.

If we dont expect anything from others we will never be disappointed.

Everyone has a talent. We should have the courage to nurture it in solitude and to follow the talent to the dark places where it leads - Erica Jong

It is natural that if anyone has any talent they feel proud of it.
Its good to be proud about that but at the same time we should encourage others who are talented. But many times we see that people who are talented are not ready to praise others who are talented.

Some people will be talented in cooking but they dont like to share their knowledge of cooking with others.

One should be talented but at the same time shoud be able to share their talents with others and also encourage the people who are less talented. ]]> iyerviji http://www.indusladies.com/forums/blogs/iyerviji/talent-should-be-shared-2180/ http://www.indusladies.com/forums/blogs/iyerviji/wonderful-friends-are-gifted-god-2176/ Fri, 03 Jul 2009 17:59:38 GMT Wonderful people carefully created by God, wonderful moments carefully planned byGod, wonderful friends are carefully gifted by God.

When friends meet after a long time its so good. Before marriage it is easy to meet often but after marriage it becomes difficult to meet often.

So when they meet after a long time there is so much happiness and they have so much to talk. They forget everything in the world and give the time to themselves to talk about everything whatever happened in all these years when they could not meet.

In IL there are so many friends, some are close , some are friendly, each one is different. But when we write some thread, we long to get fbs from some of them and if we dont get fb from the persons from whom we like to get fb we feel disheartned. I dont know about others I feel disheartened.

Looking at some of the names only I feel happy when they are on line and feel like sending pm to them.

Some are very fond of dressing. But some like to be simple but they look attractive in simplicity only. Some dress up well but still dont look so smart.

In olden days South Indian Men used to wear Dhothi only. Now there are different types of dresses for men like Pant and shirt, Kurta Pyjama, teenagers wear Jeans and shirt.

Some are very particular about dressing up.They wear only ironed dresses.

My husband is not so fond of dressing up. He likes to be simple. While going to office he used to wear Pant and Shirt. But after retirement he wears only Dhothi whereverhe goes. Previously he used to wear Dhothi and Shirt. During my son's marriage, my son brought him Kurta, Pyjama. So of late he wears for Reception, Kurta and Pyjama.
