    Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver. ~ Barbara De Angelis

    Today morning I never thought I will make my maid emotional and makeher cry . Morning I just told my maid since my children are not here I am telling you I have kept the diyas here. This diya is a big one which can be used for lighting for the 10 days when I leave the world. I am telling you because they might search for it and it shoudl be handy. I never thought she will feel emotional. She said why you are telling like that , that too on a Friday , I told her just because I told I wont die immediately, in fact I will live long. She was saying my husband and my mother also spoke about death today and you are the third person . She told my husband and he was tellin gme you dont die now because it is Dakshinayanam , after six months it will be Uttarayana and you wont have next janma.My maid became more emotional and started crying saying you dont go anwhere out today, take care . I felt so bad never thought she will feel emotional and cry. I was very touched .

    I feel so blessed to have so many people who give me so much love and affection. I was just going through something and got this card given by my friends in my office twenty five years back when I came back tooffice after my hip bone fracture. It is a welcome card. The wordings are so touching.

    Dear viji,
    A nice snippet.Though the end is inevitable nobody would like to talk about it in our homes.It is very often said,Ashwini Devathas from above are always saying'Thathasthu( Let it happen)If we say good things or bad things that is likely to happen.It was just to disuade people from telling inauspicious things.

    But our patti, father's mother was a unique person.She was known as 'oor amma' and the entire village addressed her as Amma from heart.
    Whenever any marriage was conducted she was to be the first lady to bless the couple.You will be surprised to know how she blessed.
    "pottu azhiya, poo uthira, thaali peruga"!in Tamil .Exact meaning " let the girl lose her sindhur, and flowers.Let her mangala sutra get cut"! But people were waiting to listen to this blessing because whomever she blessed with these inauspicious words lived happily.
    What did she really mean by her words?
    Let a child born to her soon.The child alaways has fascination to rub off the kunkum or sticker thilakam from his/her mother's forehead as fun.
    The child would be healthy.It would run around the mother, pull her plaits so that the flower strand gets loosened and falls down.
    Reg'thali peruga'-she meant whenever the child suckled her mother the baby would be too happy and go on pulling the thali thread.The child would pull the thread so forcefully that it may get even cut off while the child is pulling. that is to say that the baby will be strong and healthy.
    Patti's wish couched in the most amangala words turned out to be a blessing.

    Jayasala 42

    Dear Viji,

    For all of us born in this world, one thing is very sure-death! When we cannot be sure as to what kind of send off we will be getting, why should we bother about rituals. Be happy as you are now, with the kind of accolades you are getting now in IL and those you got from your office members, and the best part- an understanding DH:blush:
