The Good and the Bad at the moment! GOOD: I am up dating on the last day of 2005. I have to blog well during 2006. I should have nice subjects. BAD: Restlessnes should be avoided during 2006.

Curse.

Sridhar,   We tend to curse people when things are not in our way.  We do it very often.  My mother curses people when she is very much frustrated.  Poor lady she cannot think -at that moment - the view point of others.    If all curses happen as cursed.....there will be no meaning.  This point is very well written in the story 'eni entha ooril Malai peyumma'   Well written.......And please catch my curse also: "May you write more such mind set stories'   Hope, hope will open for you in this letter atleast.  It is about lighting a candle with hope. Please click the HOPE.   It may take some time to open. Please wait. Or you can copy the link down and paste it in your browser.   http://i.euniverse.com/funpages/cms_content/2529/4candles.swf -- Have a nice time....reply if you have time -I will have a nice time.

MIDDLE BY VARALOTTI.

Agony aunts galore By Varalotti Rengasamy Agony aunt columns promise to help the querist, but end up entertaining others     'I have this nasty affair with my colleague. I feel terribly guilty. Can you help me?' A typical question in a popular women's magazine in its agony aunt column. The answer is equally typical – some hackneyed cliches and some boring homilies, all delivered in bold letters on a glossy paper. No one will ever know what the querist did. But a few thousands of readers would have derived voyeuristic pleasure in reading the column. Agony Aunt columns give solid business. My friend who works for a women's magazine told me that many men buy these magazines because of these columns. Many people doubt the authenticity of the queries. but, the juicier the query, greater the suspicion. If the querist has a nasty affair why should she proclaim it to the world? The alternatives are much more sensible than asking a magazine column. A few...

HOPE

Dear Sridhar,   Just made some time to write to you about today's middle in Deccan Herald and here is your letter infroming me about the middle.   I too read the agony columns and as you say the readers (like me) get a thrill out of it  You mentioned about Dr Mathru Bootham and Dr.Shalini too.....it was good.   In this letter I just mention the good  excerpt from the middle and give you a fine internet page that gives something connected with light and hope.    Now to the excerpt:   Spiritual agony aunts provide the best humour in town. A devotee had asked in anguish: 'As I was completing my daily puja on Friday morning the oil lamp in the puja room suddenly went off. I am worried about this bad omen.' The unfazed agony aunt replied in a non-chalant tone: 'When the lamp is put off, light it again. That to me is the best possible retribution for your problem.' Some agony aunts are brilliant, like this one   Now to the Hope interne...

INTERNET SAYINGS.

The Good and the Bad at the moment! GOOD: Internet SayingsHome is where you hang your @. The e-mail of the species is more deadly than the mail. A journey of a thousand sites begins with a single click. You can't teach a new mouse old clicks. Great groups from little icons grow. Speak softly and carry a cellular phone. C: is the root of all directories. Don't put all your hypes in one home page. Pentium wise; pen and paper foolish. The modem is the message. Too many clicks spoil the browse. The geek shall inherit the web. A chat has nine lives. Don't byte off more than you can view. Fax is stranger than fiction. What boots up must come down. Windows will never cease. Virtual reality is its own reward. Modulation in all things. A user and his leisure time are soon parted. There's no place like home.com. Know what to expect before you connect. Oh, what a tangled website we weave when first we practice.

RAINS AT BANGALORE.

The Good and the Bad at the moment! Passengers escaped unhurt when the Kanniyakumari Express derailed as a railway bridge was washed away in heavy rain near Kamasamudram railway station near Kolar Gold Fields on Sunday night. Many Tamil Nadu and Kerala-bound trains were cancelled while some have been diverted. DH Photo GOOD: WINDFALL They make hay while it rains in Bangalore By Shubha Narayanan DH News Service Bangalore: First the good news: Like Mumbai, Bangalore too has its share of good samaritans — strangers who will willingly lend a helping hand as you find your way in waist-deep water, give a push to a stranded car, and flash a cheerful smile as you groan over your soiled clothes. Now the bad: Good deeds, in Bangalore, cost money. For holding your hand while you wade your way out: Rs 15. For pushing a two-wheeler: Rs 100-Rs 150. For pushing a two-wheeler: Rs 250-Rs 300. For repairing a vehicle: Rs 300-Rs 500. The local population around Hosur Road has hit upon a profitable busine...
