A few interesting one-liners
[1] Regular naps prevent old age, especially if you take them while driving.
[2] Having one child makes you a parent; having two you are a referee.
[3] Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right and the other is the husband !
[4] I believe we should all pay our tax with a smile. I tried - but they wanted cash.
[5] A child's greatest period of growth is the month after you've purchased new school uniforms.
[6] Don't feel bad. A lot of people have no talent.
[7] Don't marry the person you want to live with, marry the one you cannot live without, but whatever you do, you'll regret it later.
[8] You can't buy love, but you pay heavily for it.
[9] Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.
[10] Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
[11] Marriage is give and take. You'd better give it to her or she'll take it anyway.
[12] My wife and I always compromise. I admit I'm wrong and she agrees with me.
[13] Those who can't laugh at themselves leave the job to others.
[14] Ladies first. Pretty ladies sooner.
[15] A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.
[16] You're getting old when you enjoy remembering things more than doing them.
[17] It doesn't matter how often a married man changes his job, he still ends up with the same boss.
[18] Real friends are the ones who survive transitions between address books.
[19] Saving is the best thing. Especially when your parents have done it for you.
[20] Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something
[21] They call our language the mother tongue because the father seldom gets to speak !
[22] Man : Is there any way for long life ?
Dr : Get married.
Man : Will it help ?
Dr : No, but then the thought of long life will never come.
[23] Why do couples hold hands during their wedding ? It's a formality just like two boxers shaking hands before the fight begins !
[24] Wife : Darling today is our anniversary, what should we do ?
Husband : Let us stand in silence for 2 minutes.
[25] It's funny when people discuss Love Marriage vs Arranged.
It's like asking someone, if suicide is better or being murdered.
[26] There is only one perfect child in the world and every mother has it.
[27] There is only one perfect wife in the world and every neighbor has it !

குத்திக் காட்டியது - என் தமிழ்
தாத்தாவின் மூக்குக் கண்ணாடி
கை தவறி விழும் முன் சொன்னேன்
'Sorry ' தாத்தா என்று …!
தூங்கும் போது கழுத்து வரை
போர்த்தி விடும் கருணை - தூக்கத்திலும் சொல்வேன்
'Thanks ' ம்மா என்று …!
நாளை நண்பனின் பிறந்த நாள் - இன்றே
வாழ்த்து அட்டையில் எழுதினேன்
'Happy Birthday da' என்று …!
காலையில் நாளிதழ் படிக்கும் பொழுது எதிர் வீட்டுக்காரர்
அவர் சொல்லும் முன் முந்திக் கொள்வேன்
'Good Morning Uncle' என்று …!
கோயிலில் பத்தாம் வகுப்பு சிநேகிதி கணவனுடன்
அவள் பேசும் முன் முடித்துக் கொள்வேன்
'Hai' என்று …!
மாலையில் கடற்கரையில் என்னவள் - மணலில்
அவள் விரல் பிடித்தே எழுதுவேன்
'I Love You' என்று …!
இரவில் …
வீட்டிற்கு செல்லும் வழியில் - காலை
குத்தியது முள் …
'அம்மா' என்று அலறினேன்
குத்தியது முள்ளில்லை - என்னை
குத்திக் காட்டியது - என் தமிழ் ....

Bronze Medal champs... Sushil(Wrestling) and Vijyendar(Boxing).
Bronze Medal champs... Sushil(Wrestling) and Vijyendar(Boxing).
Olympic Accolades for India
Abhinav Bindra hit bull's eye in Beijing 2008 Olympics winning top honours in the air rifle event and India's first individual Olympic gold medal, sending his billion strong nation into celebration mode.
Adding to the joy, Yet another Bronze medal was secured by the champ wrestler Sushil Kumar.
Congratulations to Abhinav and Sushil !!!
And Middle-Weight freestyle pugilist(One who does Boxing) Vijendar is already on the medals list. Semi's match will decide whether he settles with a bronze or progress further. His quarter-finals match was a good feat. Good Luck Vijendar.
What Olympics means in India ? : An event happening once in 4 years with a sense of neglect at being forgotten in a cricket-crazy country. Many remember it only when it commences and still cant shake off the monopoly of cricket in their lives. Yes, This is India :-)

Touch-based illusion
Anyone who has seen an optical illusion can recall the quirky moment when you realize that the image being perceived is different from objective reality. Now, a team of scientists from MIT, Harvard and McGill has designed a new illusion involving the sense of touch, which is helping to glean new insights into perception and how different senses--such as touch and sight--work together.
Ambiguous visual images are fascinating because it is often difficult to imagine seeing them any other way--until something flips within the brain and the alternative perception is revealed. This phenomenon, known as perceptual rivalry, is of great interest to neuroscience. Because rivalrous illusions produce changes in perception that are independent of changes in the stimulus itself, they may help to understand how the brain gives rise to conscious experience.
