bits of paper..bits of paper

hi..
as children
have you ever found interesting piece of information on bits of paper?
the one page cone from kadalai man' the paper bag from shopkeeper the paper that wrapped new chappals! were all store houses of knowledge..
some papers had jokes some serial stories that made a heart beat with mystery.. only to find it incomplete.. and we have often waited for the kadalai man to come again with perhaps the same book and ending to the story!!!

hot chundals wrapped in paper was eaten in a hurry to read what it says..

this habit continues into middle age even when we can buy any number of books or papers.. the bits of paper still interesting.. scarce these days with plastic bags taking over.. have to depend mostly on kadalai man..

here are a few...
1. a paper cover said... you can fold any size paper by half only seven times!!
2. another torn paper ... abt 84 percent households in bihar have no electricity. and in contrast gujarat 87 percent have electricity.. kerala a literacy high state has 62 pecent children in primary education with 90 percent litteracy but tamilnadu has 66 percent children with seventy four percent litt the highest in the country!
3 another quarter page of newspaper lists seven things indians should actually be proud of by sri sri ravishankar....tourism where we project snakes and violence to get sympathy..yoga where americans are making millions.. ayurveda where we do not hav e faith in our own system of medicine.. music and dance need to be presented well.. food varieties are endless and yet.. clothes.. not proud of it yet. last is IT not just information tech but inner transformation too.. has anybody read yoga vasishta a treasure abt conciousness a commentary printed by new york univ but little do we know abt it!! sri sri says if we want to boost our economy and image of our country we should concentrate on these things... wow!!

this piece of paper i got with a saree..looks like ananda vikatan..
interview with prakash raj ..(great actor liked him best in kb's kaiyalavu manasu. the only serial i rushed to see always)
he begins
emakku thozil kavidainnu bharathi sonnan
appadi cinema enakku thozil''
he then goes on to say a tiny but interesting story:
the idol and steps of a temple were made from a single stone
the step complains to the idol while we were made from the same stone you are an idol and u enjoy abhishekam neivedyam etc.. while im being stamped upon ... the idol replies . you chose to fall away in one chip from the chislers. but i have endured several beats and chisles from them with patience.. only when u endure pain can you achieve..
and life is like that prakash raj continues work night and day and when u turn back to look u are really ``somewhere'
there must be more to his interview but the paper i have has only this to say haha
