On the first day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me
A totally insufficient dowry

On the second day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me
Two nosy in-laws
And a totally insufficient dowry

On the third day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me
Three butter chickens
Two nosy in-laws
And a totally insufficient dowry

On the fourth day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me
Four Hari Krishnas..... (Is that Indian)
Three butter chickens
Two nosy in-laws
And a totally insufficient dowry

On the fifth day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me
Five Indian games..... (I want to be the cowboy)
Four Hari Krishnas
Three butter chickens
Two nosy in-laws
And a totally insufficient dowry

On the sixth day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me
Six IT graduates
Five Indian games
Four Hari Krishnas
Three butter chickens
Two nosy in-laws
And a totally insufficient dowry

On the seventh day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me
Seven-11 workers
Six IT graduates
Five Indian games
Four Hari Krishnas
Three butter chickens
Two nosy in-laws
And a totally insufficient dowry

On the eighth day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me
Eight Bollywood films
Seven-11 workers
Six IT graduates
Five Indian games
Four Hari Krishnas
Three butter chickens
Two nosy in-laws
And a totally insufficient dowry

On the ninth day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me
Nine telemarketers..... (Good Evenin.. This is Kaalin jones. Are you waanting greater kaalrits)
Eight Bollywood films
Seven-11 workers
Six IT graduates
Five Indian games
Four Hari Krishnas
Three butter chickens
Two nosy in-laws
And a totally insufficient dowry

Nine telemarketers
Eight Bollywood films
Seven-11 workers
Six IT graduates
Five Indian games

Nine telemarketers
Eight Bollywood films
Seven-11 workers
Six IT graduates
Five Indian games
Four Hari Krishnas
Three butter chickens
Two nosy in-laws
And a totally insufficient dowry

On the twelfth day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me...
Twelve cricket ball tamperers..... (I was simply correcting the stitching)
Eleven syllable name
Ten-minute yoga
Nine telemarketers
Eight Bollywood films
Seven-11 workers
Six IT graduates
Five minutes of fame
Four Hari Krishnas
Three butter chickens
Two nosy in-laws
And a totally insufficient dowry

My birthday is nearing

As you well know, we are getting closer to my birthday. Every year there is a celebration in my honor and I think that this year the celebration will be repeated. During this time there are many people shopping for gifts, there are many radio announcements, TV commercials, and in every part of the world everyone is talking that my birthday is getting closer and closer.

It is really very nice to know, that at least once a year, some people think of me. As you know, the celebration of my birthday began many years ago. At first people seemed to understand and be thankful of all that I did for them, but in these times, no one seems to know the reason for the celebration. Family and friends get together and have a lot of fun, but they don't know the meaning of the celebration.

I remember that last year there was a great feast in my honor. The dinner table was full of delicious foods, pastries, fruits, assorted nuts and chocolates. The decorations were exquisite and there were many, many beautifully wrapped gifts. But, do you want to know something? I wasn't invited. I was the guest of honor and they didn't remember to send me an invitation. The party was for me, but when that great day came, I was left outside, they closed the door in my face... and I wanted to bewith them and share their table.

In truth, that didn't surprise me because in the last few years all close their doors to me. Since I wasn't invited, I decided to enter the party without making any noise. I went in and stood in a corner. They were all drinking; there were some who were drunk and telling jokes and laughing at everything. They were having a grand time. To top it all, this big fat man all dressed in red wearing a long white beard entered the room yelling Ho-Ho-Ho! He seemed drunk. He sat on the sofa and all the children ran to him, saying: "Santa Claus, Santa Claus" .. as if the party were in his honor!

At 12 Midnight all the people began to hug each other; I extended my arms waiting for someone to hug me and ... do you know ... no one hugged me. Suddenly they all began to share gifts. They opened them one by one with great expectation. When all had been opened, I looked to see if, maybe,there was one for me. What would you feel if on your birthday everybody shared gifts and you did not get one? I then understood that I was unwanted at that party and quietly left.

Every year it gets worse. People only remember to eat and drink, the gifts, the parties and nobody remembers me. I would like this Christmas that you allow me to enter into your life. I would like that you recognize the fact that almost two thousand years ago I came to this world to give my life for you, on the cross, to save you. Today, I only want that you believe this with all your heart.

I want to share something with you. As many didn't invite me to their party, I will have my own celebration, a grandiose party that no one has ever imagined, a spectacular party. I'm still making the final arrangements . Today I am sending out many invitations and there is an invitation for you . I want to know if you wish to attend and I will make a reservation for you and write your name with golden letters in my great guest book. Only those on the guest list will be invited to the party. Those who don't answer the invite will be left outside.

Be prepared because when all is ready you will be part of my great party. See you soon.. I Love you!

Jesus

ചോര വീണ മണ്ണില്‍നിന്നുയര്‍ന്നു വന്ന പൂമരം ---- by Anil Panachuran

ചോര വീണ മണ്ണില്‍നിന്നുയര്‍ന്നു വന്ന പൂമരം
ചേതനയില്‍ നൂറു നൂറു പൂക്കളായ് പൊലിക്കവെ
നോക്കുവിന്‍ സഘാക്കളെ നമ്മള്‍ വന്ന വീതിയില്‍
ആയിരങള്‍ ചൊര കൊന്ടെഴുതി വച്ച വാക്കുകള്‍
ലാല്‍ സലാം.... ലാല്‍ സലാം....

Am not a communist, but i like this poem very much...a nice poem from the movie "Arabikatha" recited by Anil Panachuran.

There is something in this poem which makes it touching... is that the lyrics? or is it the voice? or is that the they way the poem is recited ? or is it something else?.. i don't know. whatever it be, i have the mp3 of this in my mobile and i enjoy listening it.

Ostrich Burger

Few days back me and my colleagues went to an unusual fast food center. Yes it was unusual because it served only ostrich food. Ostrich burger, ostrich egg with croissant etc etc.. when i first saw the name "Big Bird" ..i thought it was just a brand name..but when i looked closer i could see the words "kingdoms only ostrich fast food center". and "Big Bird" is their brand name.

When we reached there we could see some ostrich eggs displayed near the delivery counter.


So me and my colleagues tried ostrich burger. ..for me it felt like red meat, i was expecting that it would taste something like chicken. later i came to know that ostrich meat is low in cholesterol.

So if anyone wants to try it, "Big Bird" is in the second floor of "Gosi" shopping mall in exhibition avenue.

........ ഓണശംസകള്‍ ........... (Onam Wishes)


“മാവേലി നാട് വാണീടും കാലം
മാനുഷരെല്ലാരുമൊന്നുപോലെ
ആമോദത്തോടെ വസിക്കും കാലം
ആപത്തങ്ങാര്‍ക്കുമൊട്ടില്ല താനും
ആധികള്‍ വ്യാധികളൊന്നുമില്ല
ബാലമരണങ്ങള്‍ കേള്‍ക്കാനില്ല.
കള്ളവുമില്ല ചതിയുമില്ല
എള്ളോളമില്ല പൊളി വചനം
കള്ളപ്പറയും ചെറു നാഴിയും,
കള്ളത്തരങ്ങള്‍ മറ്റൊന്നുമില്ല”

English translation of the above song is something like below

"When Maveli, our King, ruled the land,
All the people were as One.
And people live joyful and merry;
They were all free from harm.
There was neither anxiety nor sickness,
Death of the children were never even heard of,
There were no lies,
There is neither theft nor deceit,
And no one is false in speech either.
Measures and weights were right;
No one cheated or wronged their neighbor.
When Maveli, our King, ruled the land,
All the peoples formed one casteless race.'"

(Thanks to wikipidia)



മാനത്തു വീണ്ടും ആവണി പൂത്തിങ്കള്‍.... എന്നുള്ളിലും ഒരോണക്കാറ്റു വീശിയെത്തുന്നു.... കൈക്കുമ്പിളില്‍ നിറയെ സ്‌നേഹ സ്പന്ദനങ്ങളുമായ്......


........ ഓണശംസകള്‍ ...........

"Sachin, shewag, dravid, dhoni,....olakeda moodu...ippo enthai... India outayiiii."

Commonnnnnn Indiaaaaaaaa Dikha Do, Indiakooo Cup Dila do......

Olakedaaaa mooodu.....

(India lost in preliminary round itself)

The situation reminds of a scence from a blockbuster malayalam movie named "Nadodikattu"..

Villain(Thilakan) calls a professional killer named Pavanai to kill hero(Mohanlal) and his assistant(Sreenivasan). Pavanai arrives and he shows of his tools to Thilakan. He shows Rifle, Bow and arrow, Malapuuram Knife, Grenade, etc etc.. a big arsenal of weapons and says that he will kill the hero and and his assitant in no time. Pavanani goes for the hunt but was killed by the hero and his assistant. When villain(Thilakan) hears the news, he says a dialouge....

"Thoku, grenade, kathi, kuntham, kodachakaram,..... olakeda moodu....enitoo... pavanai shavamayi"

Fate of Indian team reminds me of this same dialouge.....

"Sachin, shewag, dravid, dhoni,....olakeda moodu...ippo enthai... India outayiiii."


India being defeated by minnows....

Before Indian team left for west Indies, the media was making it as if they are gonna bring worldcup tomorrow itself....

Ippo enthai????.....

i repeat what Thilakan says.... ... India outayiiiiiii

Few thoughts on Confidence, Trust and Hope



CONFIDENCE

Once all village people decided to pray for rain .On the day of prayer all People gathered and only one boy came with an umbrella that's Confidence...........


TRUST

Trust should be like the feeling of a one year old baby
When you throw him in the air, he laughs......
Because he knows you will catch him........


HOPE

A human being can live for
40 days without water
8 minutes without air
But not even 1 second without hope....


SO ALWAYS HAVE CONFIDENCE, TRUST GOD AND NEVER LOOSE HOPE.

The accident happened in Thattekad, a bird sanctuary near the banks of river Periyar. The students and teachers have gone for a picnic.

More detail about the accident in the below link

MAY ALL THE SOULS OF DECEASED REST IN PEACE

Wish u all a Prosperous and Peaceful 2007

Wish u all a Prosperous and Peaceful Newyear :)... i think what our world lacks is peace...
so i want to share u a beautiful Prayer of Peace by St Francis of Asissi

Prayer of St Francis Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Below is the malayalam version of that prayer

വി ഫ്രാന്‍സീസ്‌ അസ്സീസിയുടെ സമാധാന പ്രാര്‍ഥന

കര്‍ത്താവെ എന്നെ അങ്ങയുടെ സമാധാനത്തിന്റെ ഒരു ഉപകരണമാക്കണമെ.
വിദ്വേഷം ഉള്ളിടത്തു സ്നേഹവും ദ്രോഹം ഉള്ളിടത്തു ക്ഷെമയും, സന്ദേഹം ഉള്ളിടത്തു വിശ്വാസവും, നിരാശയുള്ളിടത്തു പ്രത്യാശയും, സന്താപമുള്ളിടത്തു സന്തോഷവും ഞാന്‍ വിതയ്കട്ടെ.

ഒ ദിവ്യനാഥാ, ആശ്വസിപ്പിക്കപെടുന്നതിനെക്കാള്‍ ആശ്വസിപ്പിക്കുന്നതിനും, മനസ്സിലാക്കപെടുന്നതിനെക്കാള്‍ മനസ്സിലാക്കുന്നതിനും, സ്നേഹിക്കപെടുന്നതിനെക്കാള്‍ സ്നേഹിക്കുന്നതിനും എനിയ്ക്കു ഇടയാക്കണമെ. എന്തെന്നാല്‍ കൊടുക്കുമ്പൊഴാണു ഞങ്ങള്‍ക്കു ലഭിക്കുന്നത്‌. ക്ഷെമികുമ്പൊഴാണു ഞങ്ങള്‍ ക്ഷെമിക്കപ്പെടുന്നത്‌. മരിക്കുമ്പൊഴാണു ഞങ്ങള്‍ നിത്യജീവിതത്തിലെയ്കു ജനിയ്കുന്നത്‌.

ആമ്മേന്‍
