More haste, less speed

A youth went up to a mountain to look for a famous swordsman to learn swordsmanship. "Master, if i practice diligently, how long would it take me to become adept at it?" "Perhaps ten years" "My father is getting old and i must take care of him. If i work far more intensively, how long would it take me?" "In that case, it might have to take thirty years." "You first mentioned ten years, and then you said it takes thirty years. I do not mind undergoing whatever hardship. I must learn it within the shortest possible time." "Then you would need seventy years to master it" More haste, less speed. Those who are too eager for results are apt to end up not having achieved anything.

മര്യാദകള്‍ മറക്കുന്ന മലയാളി...

കോഴിക്കോട് നിന്ന് തൃശൂര്‍ക്കുള്ള ഒരു ബസ്. സീറ്റ് ഫുള്ളാണ്. പത്തു പന്ത്രണ്ടുപേര്‍ നില്‍ക്കുന്നുമുണ്ട്. ഇടയ്ക്കൊരു സ്റ്റോപ്പില്‍ നിന്ന് കയറിയ പെണ്‍കുട്ടി. കയറിയപാടെ ഒരു സീറ്റില്‍ ചാരിനിന്ന് മൊബൈല്‍ ചെവിയില്‍ ചേര്‍ത്തു. "എടാ, ഞാനിപ്പോ കയറീട്ടേ ഉള്ളൂ...'' എന്നു തുടങ്ങിയ സംഭാഷണം പതിയെപ്പതിയെ പരിഭവങ്ങളിലേക്കും ശൃംഗാരങ്ങളിലേക്കും നീണ്ടപ്പോള്‍ അടുത്തിരുന്നവര്‍ ചിലര്‍ ശ്രദ്ധിക്കാന്‍ തുടങ്ങി. ചുറ്റും ആളുകളുണ്ടെന്ന ഭാവംപോലും ഇല്ലാതെയാണ് മൊബൈല്‍ സംഭാഷണം ഒഴുകുന്നത്. മറ്റു യാത്രക്കാര്‍ പരസ്പരം നോക്കുന്നുണ്ട്, ചിരിക്കുന്നുണ്ട്...പാവം പെണ്‍കുട്ടി! ഇതൊന്നുമറിയുന്നില്ല... ഒടുവില്‍ സഹികെട്ട് കണ്ടക്ടര്‍ അടുത്തുവന്നു പറഞ്ഞു, 'മോളേ, ബസില്‍ നിന്നിറങ്ങിയിട്ട് മതി ഇനി വര്‍ത്തമാനം...മറ്റുള്ളവര്‍ക്കും യാത്ര ചെയ്യണ്ടേ..'' ഒരു 'സോറി'യില്‍ ആ സംഭാഷണം അവസാനിപ്പിച്ചപ്പോഴും അവളുടെ മുഖത്ത് കുറ്റബോധമൊന്നും ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നില്ല. പെണ്‍കുട്ടികള്‍ മാത്രമല്ല ആണ്‍കുട്ടികളായാലും മുതിര്‍ന്നവരായാലും പരിസരം മറന്നുള്ള മൊബൈല്‍ വര്‍ത്തമാനം ഇന്ന് പതിവുള്ള കാഴ്ചയാണ്. പൊതു ഇടങ്ങളില്‍ മനുഷ്യര്‍ പാലിക്കേണ

Story of Bank Balance - Importance & Value of Marriage

A GOOD STORY ABOUT Priya married Hitesh this day. At the end of the wedding party, Priya's mother gave her a newly opened bank saving passbook. With Rs.1000 deposit amount. Mother: 'Priya, take this passbook. Keep it as a record of your marriage life. When there's something happy and memorable happened in your new life, put some money in. Write down what it's about next to the line. The more memorable the event is, the more money you can put in. I've done the first one for you today. Do the others with Hitesh.When you look back after years, you can know how much happiness you've had.' Priya shared this with Hitesh when getting home. They both thought it was a great idea and were anxious to know when the second deposit can be made. This was what they did after certain time:- 7 Feb: Rs.100, first birthday celebration for Hitesh after marriage- 20 Mar: Rs.200, vacation trip to Bali- 15 Apr: Rs.2000, Priya got pregnant- 1 Jun: Rs.1000, Hitesh got promoted.... .

R WE LIKE HIM?????

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer- contractor of his plans to leave the house- building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by. The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career. When the carpenter finished his work the employer came to inspect the house. He handed the front-door key to the carpenter. This is your house, he said, my gift to you. The carpenter was shocked! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own, he would have done it all so differently. We do the most of the things having such thoughts in our mind. But we only realize when it comes back

Visit to Old CSI Campus @ ooty

During the first week of October i made a trip to my old campus at ketti near ooty in tamilnadu. A trip planned in short time. Actual aim was to visit the Campus. The moment i planned trip it started rain south india and even when i started for ooty early morning of OCT 2nd 2009 it was down pouring heavy with violent wind. Any way i could reach coimbatore by 1.40 pm without much diffcult. The journey from Coimbatore to ooty was diffcult with the bus in which i am travelling is going very slow. any way i could be in ooty by 7.30PM. It was raining as well as the heavy wind blowing made things diffcult for me to cope with immediately . Since it was after a long holiday time i could meet some of the junior there. Next morning i could go through the campus. The campus is having a new look with more building and other land scaping features added. More photos are added in the facebook and orkut account of me..Trip was a good one

COMMANDMENTS OF MARRIAGE

Commandment 1. Marriages are made in heaven. But so again, are thunder and lightning. Commandment 2. If you want your spouse to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep. Commandment 3. Marriage is grand -- and divorce is at least 100 grand! Commandment 4. Married life is very frustrating. In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbours listen. Commandment 5. When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: Either the car is new or the wife is. Commandment 6. Marriage is when a man and woman become as one; the trouble starts when they try to decide which one. Commandment 7. Before marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about something you said. After marriage, he will fall asleep before you finish. Commandment 8. Every man wants a wife who is beautiful, understanding, economical, a
