Too small? Not for me!

Well, I admit, your language does make me wonder, how in the present day's chat & SMS language, you still stick to such perfect old time english. Shows, how versatile you are !

The name of Demille made me nostalgic - was anyone in Indian cinema comparable to him? AC Thirulokachander, Chinnappa Devar, Raj Kapoor, B C Chopra?? - no no no. I still remember the logo of lion and you transformed me to my younger days.

You have written
tremble like the vocal chord of an octogenarian.
Well, remember, in this forum of youngsters, we both will be rushing fast to that age, much ahead of others.

So, You are the
மலையைக் கெல்லி எலியைப் பிடிக்கிற
type, more for the excitement of it ?????????

Love,
Chithra.

Dear Chithra
What's the big deal in catching a rat in a small wooden box with the bait of a masal vadai? Incidentally can any one throw more light on why Masal Vadai is the preferred bait to catch a rat? Is there any authentic information that rats have such a weakness for Masal Vadai that they may even risk their lives for a bite of it?
Opening up a hill to catch a rat is certainly a more rewarding experience than the Masal Vadai method.
I think you have erred in classifying me as versatile. If I am sticking on to the 'olde worlde' English, it is only because I am unable to cope with the changing scenario! In fact, I have to summon my grand daughter to interpret some messages that I receive a la chat mode.
Com'on Chithra, the trembling of our vocal chords has already commenced and we dont have to rush in to that age! The only place where our tremor in the voice wont get noticed is the early morning Margazhi ghoshtis! The chill weather is a great leveller as far as the voice is concerned!

of everything because then you do lose out on all the great grand things before u. Also thinking everything of nothing It seems to stretch a little too much so somewhere in the middle That does not stop me from seeing everything homourous funny and amusing and thoughtful in your thread. Clearly I hope i'm not thinking everything of nothing here. Or is it that I'm thinking nothing of everything here (see how you managed to confuse maybe because there was nothing in my head to begin with)!!

Dear AC
Your FB reminds me of a story. Once a chap asked a friend of his about the difference in appearance between a rhino and a hippo. The friend replied that it was ridiculously easy to differentiate them as a hippo would have a horn while the rhino wouldn't have that. The chap who put the question asked his friend if he was sure that it was a hippo which would have a horn. This question disconcerted the friend and he instantly backtracked and said that a rhino would have a horn and not the hippo. When the persistent chap questioned again if he was sure of that, the friend's confusion got confounded and he started muttering to himself weighing the option between a rhino and the hippo. The chap who put the question left him to decide the matter while he would attend to some work. When the chap came back an hour latter, the friend was still muttering, 'It's the hippo, no no Rhino, no no hippo'!

So, ultimately "everything" or "something" has conveyed "nothing" ?:confused:
Now, jooooooot, I am running from you !
Love,
Chithra.

Dear Chithra
Your vast experience with all the confused people has made you 'jooooot' but I am stuck hopelessly!

In this thread of everything and nothing I am actually resorting to sit on the sidelines and watch everybody and your feedbacks...

Dear Shanthi
Whether it is nothing is too big or nothing is too small, you must have your heart and mind set. In the former case, you tend to use your mind more and when it comes to nothing is too small, you use your heart more!
The issue is quite confusing I know. I therefore make use of this quote of William Van Horne that ' Nothing is too small to know and nothing is too big to attempt'
This reminds me of what my teacher taught us in my early school days when we used to get confused between AM and PM and which related to forenoon and which to the afternoon. He would simply ask us to follow the alphabetical order of AM and PM!

Beleive it or not...

As i was giving the kids lunch, I thought this is what you are going to write as a feedback...sans the quote....and it was like a dejavu when i open the thread....

Why wont I believe it? After all, Veda has told us several instances of your clairvoyance and how he never gets a chance to say what he wants because you beat him to it!

Dear Cheeniya Sir
I cannot believe you have let me down like this for CHitvish comment.
I am also reminded of a funny episode. A was walking and came across B. B asked A "How many idlis can u have on an empty stomach" After careful thought A replied 5. So B said you fool "if you have 1 you're stomach is not empty anymore. " Then A walked and met C. He asked C the same question and C said 3. So now the very confused A :confused:said "you fool if you had said 5 I would have told you a joke?"
Still I did not think nobody would defend me against somebody but now I can see nothing in everything or is it everything in nothing ??

Dear AC,
Somebody was defending you all these days when nobody was defending me !
When that somebody has decided to defend me once, why should anybody defend you at all ? Nobody need to defend you - you don't need anybody, rather somebody.
You are imagining
I can see nothing in everything or is it everything in nothing ??
You are confused totally ! Nothing is always nothing whereas everything is always everything !
I have decided to help "somebody who is stuck helplessly" ! He is not nobody to me, but somebody !
Love,
Chithra.

Dear Ac
If I am as technical as some readers are, I would have argued with you that the stomach would not be empty after the first bite but I am not arguing. From this, please understand that I am very much on your side!
And I marvel at the way you confuse me more and more with each FB!

Sri

Hi Cheeni,

Cheen, the artists in any Circus make an effort, and fun comes naturally to me. I cannot imagine life without fun. Even during our "Annual Closing" of the year, we burn the midnight lamp in office. My colleagues ask me to stay back to have the element called "Fun". I am not praising myself, when people find it a good trait, I go on my knees and thank God for creating me that way. During my college days, my friends would always pass a comment, "as we mature with age, we shred all our naughtiness and blah! Blah!". When they met me a couple of years ago, they set their eyes rolling on me. "Mals, you have not changed, you are the same." Cheens, its my nature to be happy. I have my "Cocoon" period, I had mentioned in one of y our posts, but I do not throw my moods on anybody. I basically look at problems very practically and try my best to settle them. That makes life easy... Few, threads are not in our hands and we have to helplessly see the kite flying in all directions. My prayers work for me under such circumstances.

Regarding the question "Where I was in the early 60's?". Cheens, I was nearing old age and you were a handsome young man. You preferred a young lovely woman and knocked me off to the pavilion. My prayers work during bad times, now I am a young lovely woman and you a dashing old guy.. Thank the stars buddy, we at met again.

Bye!!!
