Subject: Mails in English? - You can post in this thread [alone]

Dear All,

Warm Greetings!

I just thought of having atleast one thread in ILLAM in English. What I mean by 'one thread' is a thread like "kaivalya navaneetham" (by our dear brother Mr.Thirumurti Vasudevan - Thiva). We all noticed how he posted all his mails in that thread alone and maintained all the matters related to 'kaivalya navanitham' within that thread itself, all the time, perfectly. Similarly, I am thinking of having one thread  (which is this thread itself with subject "Mails in English? - You can post in this thread [alone]") wherein all English posts can be maintained perfectly, all the time.

If anyone wishes to reply in English for some other thread's mail (which would be in Tamil obviously), they can quote a few lines of that mail and post his/her reply in English in this thread (i.e. "Mails in English? - You can post in this thread [alone]") itself.

I am hopeful that majority of members would welcome this. As ever (since the start of this group), let the quality of messages (as mentioned very clearly in http://azhagi.com/illam.html) alone matter most, and not quantity.

Regds.

Three scholars on the way to a civil service
   examination stopped to buy refreshments from
   a woman who sold pastries.

   One scholar was calm and quiet while the
   other two argued over literature.

   The woman asked where they were going, and
   the arguing men told her.

   "You two won't pass the exam," she said, "but
   the other man will."

   The results turned out just as the woman
   predicted, and the two who failed went back
   to find the woman to ask her if she knew some
   mystic art to predict the outcome.

   "No," she said, "all I know is that when a
   pastry is thoroughly cooked it sits there
   quietly, but before it's finished it keeps
   making noise."

Our world is so full of noise it's a wonder any of us stay
sane past the age of maybe fifteen.

During the coming week, become aware of the endless noise
that surrounds modern life... and then consciously tune it
out by taking deep breaths and shifting your consciousness
inward.

Bliss and peace are only one breath away.

So take that breath and become aware of the gap between
breaths and let go of the noise and become calm and quiet

(From EarthRain Meditations)

The Principa of a school postulated that the best mehod of teaching is
the 'association method' of teaching.  The teachers strictly followed
his advice.

In the annual exam there was a question in the science paper of
standard five 'What does the abdomen contain?'

One of the bright students wrote, 'The abdomen contains the bowels
which are A,E,I,O,E.'

Beauty of Mathematics !!!!!!!

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?

And look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321

Now, take a look at this...

101%

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than
100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?

What equals 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

If:

H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K

8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%

And:

K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E

11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%

But:

A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E

1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%

THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:

L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

God bless!!

CELL PHONE vs. GITA
I wonder what would happen if we treated our Gita like we treat our
cellphone?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we flipped through it several time a day?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to Kids as gifts?
What if we used it when we traveled?
What if we used it in case of emergency?
This is something to make you go.....hmm...where is my Gita?
Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to
worry about our Gita being disconnected because
Krishna already paid the bill.
Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities?
And no dropped calls!

ESSENCE OF BHAGVAD GITA

Whatever has happened, has happened for good.
Whatever is happening, is happening for good.
Whatever is going to happen, it will be for good.
What have you lost for which you cry?
What did you bring with you, which you have lost?
What did you produce, which has destroyed?
You did not bring anything when you were born.
Whatever you have, you have received from Him.
Whatever you will give, you will give to Him.
You came empty handed and you will go the same way.
Whatever is yours today was somebody else's
Yesterday and will be somebody else's tomorrow.

SO WHY WORRY UNNECESSARILY?
Change is the law of the universe.

Venkatesh (Viji)

Parvamani.

good thinking!

often people complain that they have to wait in several places -offices,
consulting rooms, banks etc-  and it is a waste of time.
carry a pocket size gita book and one can always keep reading it.
no more waste of time!

rational  marriage  of my  complex  brother  "Zero"  with your
relational  daughter  Miss "Infinity " .she  had promised  a
diffrential  and integral  marriage ,You also  know  that they love
each other  so much  that they prepared  to die  for  each other
The proof is given below

any digit
------------ = infinity
zero

any digit
-------------- = Zero
infinity

it ia also true that each of them  possesses a weakness .My brother
is a lovable chap  and he is the enemy of many good students .But  he
is  such  a person  that irrespect   of his multiplication   or
division  with great numbers  he  yields nothing but himself .As
regards  your daughter  she is not beautiful   .Therefore
 i think  it  quite  suitable .Could u tell me knidly  after
consulting  logritham talks the suitable  day for this  mathematical
ceremony
please  do consult with two sisters  Miss solid  geometry  and Real
analysis.
 thinking u in binomical expansion

your correctly

on reading Mr Tv's mail

often people complain that they have to wait in several places -
offices,
consulting rooms, banks etc-  and it is a waste of time.
carry a pocket size gita book and one can always keep reading it.
no more waste of time!

I wish to wrtie what somebody said as a JOKE about waiting while wife
getting herself ready to go out with him.

"while waiting read a book Then in your life time you would have
finished reading all the books in a Library'"

Please note it is a joke no offence meant

handwriting nevertheless, extraordinary pharmaceutical intellectuality
counterbalancing indecipherability transcendentalizes

Sub: Fw: rail roads

RAILROADS

The  US  standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4
feet,8.5  inches.  That's an exceedingly odd number.    Why was that
gauge used?

Because  that's the way they built them in England, and English
expatriates built the US  Railroads.

Why  did the English build them like  that? Because the first rail
lines were built by the same people who built the Pre-railroad
tramways, and that's the gauge they used.

Why  did 'they' use that gauge then? Because the people who built the
tramways used the same jigs and tools That they used for building
wagons, which used that wheel spacing.

Okay!    Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing?
Well,  if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would
Break on some of the old, long distance roads in England, because
that's the spacing of the wheel ruts.

So who built those old rutted roads?

Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (and
England)  For their legions.  The roads have been used ever since.

And the ruts in the roads?

Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to
Match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels.  Since the chariots
were  Made for Imperial Rome, they were all alike in the matter of
wheel spacing.

The United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 ! Inches is
derived  from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war
chariot.  And bureaucracies Live forever. So the next time you are
handed a specification, don't wonder why on earth it is always so.

And, for your information, the chariots were made that wide enough,
actually to accommodate the back ends of two war horses.

Now, the twist to the story........

When you  see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two
big  booster rockets attached to   The sides of the main fuel tank.
These are solid rocket boosters or SRBs.  The SRBs are made by Thiokol
at their factory at  Utah.  The engineers who designed the SRBs would
have preferred to  make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be
shipped by train from  the factory to the launch site. The railroad
line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in  the
mountains. The  SRBs had to fit through that  tunnel.

The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad
track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds.

So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the
world's most advanced transportation system was determined over two
thousand years ago by the width of a horse's hind part.
