What we call fear emanates from the fact that your mind starts reacting to percieved danger.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is Fear Necessary&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;:-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fear it seems is the mechanism that protects us from our stupid acts and danger.If there were no fear we will become unresponsive to danger singnals.For example if there were no fear you may jump from the 10th floor and do other stupid things.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is it necessary to remove fear :-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;All fears are not bad as stated above.It is only when the fear goes abnormal that we should be worried.If you start to get afraid of even the small things ,fear seems to go bad.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;According to my view &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is normal to get afraid of abnormal things&lt;br /&gt;It is abnormal to get afraid of normal things."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to take control of fear :-&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Following are the things that could be help.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;1. Most normal fears will reduce if you do the job you fear.It is just a caution that your body shows .It can be overcome by doing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Many a time analysis helps.You classify your fear and see whether it is normal or abnormal and deal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.Think of God's help if you are afraid of uncertainities.Life is meant to live happily.So God would always have provided a solution to your problems.So take board in that thought.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.See if you are attempting to do any abnormal task or work.This may trigger your normal fear mechanisms.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.Try to remove wrong ideas ,egos and superiority and inferiority complexes.This will definitely have an effect on abnormal fear.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.Remove the unrealistic assumptions that you have which will reduce your abnormal fear.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.Do not always try to be at the top of the world.Accept the fact that we may not be number one everytime,we may not be the center of attraction everytime,we may also lose,we may not be popular every time etc.This will have your effect on your abnormal fears.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8.Do not think that it is because of you that the world runs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9.To remove abnormal fear you could try to expose yourself to the fear stimulus in step by step fashion.Little by little you increase the contact with the stimulus.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10.Do not try to change everything in life .We may not be able to change everything but we can definitely deal with them.For example we may not be able to reduce floods but we could take some measures to deal with it,to minimise the losses ,to protect life and property.Please note that all things could be dealt with which could not be changed.Dealing is possible than changing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11..Above all believe in yourself and God .That will give you lots of changes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12.If there is too much abnormal fear that affects your life consult a doctor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also read this for information&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disclaimer :The ideas expressed here are the peronal opinion of the author.It may not work for your situation sometimes.It does not represent medical advice.

The wife leaned over, made a wish and threw in a penny. The husband decided to make a wish .But he leaned over too much, fell into the well, and drowned. The wife was stunned for a moment but then smiled, "It really works!" &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Before marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about something you say. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;After marriage, he will fall asleep before you finish. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Every man wants a wife who is beautiful, understanding, economical, and a good cook. But the law allows only one wife. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I recently read that love is entirely a matter of chemistry.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;That must be why my wife treats me like toxic waste. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;A man is incomplete until he is married. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;After that, he is finished. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Marriage is when a man and woman become as one;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=35033328&amp;amp;postID=5342481339591000901"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415545493564771810-7906805094031803735?l=paperandapen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paperandapen.blogspot.com/feeds/7906805094031803735/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6415545493564771810&amp;postID=7906805094031803735' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415545493564771810/posts/default/7906805094031803735'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415545493564771810/posts/default/7906805094031803735'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paperandapen.blogspot.com/2008/05/marriage-is-blissful.html' title='Marriage is blissful!!!'/><author><name>NS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00323374252431454180</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EiCuoAiGzRc/SDAjpNto0TI/AAAAAAAAAEw/CxYRTwUluc4/s72-c/Aparnaa.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415545493564771810.post-9199912817634992798</id><published>2008-05-09T21:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T13:05:06.380-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cricket'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Experience'/><title type='text'>Cricket Chronicles !!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ePTQD8RGZEs/SCcG6hcVuQI/AAAAAAAAAhU/jx8qd1Rebyw/s1600-h/EasyCapture3.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199131897301940482" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ePTQD8RGZEs/SCcG6hcVuQI/AAAAAAAAAhU/jx8qd1Rebyw/s200/EasyCapture3.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ePTQD8RGZEs/SCcGIRcVuPI/AAAAAAAAAhM/A3Lc7hotrEg/s1600-h/EasyCapture3.bmp"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Blogger : &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/14089732611796931757"&gt;Karthik Sriram &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blog : &lt;a href="http://thisdaythisage.blogspot.com/"&gt;Extraordinarily ordinary&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Post id : &lt;a href="http://thisdaythisage.blogspot.com/2008/04/cricket-chronicles.html"&gt;Click here &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Post subject : His experience with cricket.&lt;br /&gt;...........................................................................................................................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://thisdaythisage.blogspot.com/2008/04/cricket-chronicles.html"&gt;Cricket Chronicles&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the last two weekends, apart from IPL, the other momentous thing to happen was that I got back to playing cricket. Before the last time I did remotely close to playing cricket were one-on-one matches I used to play with my neighbor sometime in 2003, before I broke my wrist.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;As happens in every Indian guy's life, Cricket was initially shovelled down my throat - mainly during the World Cup in 1992 and the infamous 1 ball 22-run match, which left everyone I knew - starting from my friend sitting beside me in class to the paal-kaaran (milkman) condemning England. And then, my migration to Madras happened and I joined PSBB - the school which opened my eyes to cricket, and various other things ;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Summer cricket coaching became a habit and I soon found out that I sucked as a fielder in circle. I was good at slips and in the outfield and nowhere else. I briefly flirted with wicket-keeping, but then was not a great success at it too. But to compensate for all this, I did bat well. The place where I lived in Chennai was like 15 kilometers away from my school with the result that none of my school friends lived close by. My only pastime became seasoning my cricket bat by hitting a ball inside a sock, hung from a ceiling hook. This became such an obsession that by the end of my second summer, I was able to hit 25-30 balls on a trot with a stump instead of the bat. All this did contribute to my batting, but whenever it came to school matches, whoever was the captain, had the senses to ask me to open the batting and while fielding, I was there in the slips for the first 5-6 overs after which I was sent to third man where you hardly get the ball (especially if you play on matted wickets).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;All this cricket, where, I was physically playing the game ended with my 9th after which I was more or less the armchair critic, commenting on how Tendulkar should have played an Akram delivery, while munching on kadalai and reading the Hindu! High school flitted past and I become one of those SVCE makkal (junta). It was here I got my first rude shock. I remember it was in my first semester when we cut a Basic Civil Engineering class and had match with another first year class. I alanjified for opening the batting and did get to open - thankfully, the guy who was captain-cum-cut-adikkum-idea-giver knew me from PSBB and so knew about my batting. But what happened next is the stuff nightmares are made of. 3 full tosses straight down the leg-side saw me connecting with nothing but air. And then with extraordinary luck I edged the fourth ball and tried to get a run only to see the other guy not respond. Run out for a duck and somehow, after that, I never wanted to play cricket again. Every good friend of mine in SVCE used to play and they called me too (out of courtesy, as they used to plan their cricket activities in front of me or they really wanted me to play, I don't know), but somehow the fear of once more becoming a cropper made me skip.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;BE was done with and I became one of those typical tambrahm guys, coming to the US for MS. Here cricket was a much bigger thing. My room-mate and good friend here turned out to be a fanatical cricketer and seeing his and his team-mates fanaticism made me loathe playing cricket more.But as they say, Life is not without surprises, I have come to know a group of indi pasanga (people close to me know my paasam for these indi pasanga) and have started playing cricket with them. Its tough to listen to aaram se, aah, rukh, umpire se baahar kinda pechu, but these guys play just for the fun of it and its nice to do that.Hope I'm not that lazy to give up on this new found activity.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;UPDATE: Its nice to see that I've not lost my once predominant offside play and my wrists are strong enough for me to flick balls on middle stump to fine leg, once again, after April 16th, 2003. And so far, I haven't scored a duck. Touchwood! But on the flip side, my ground fielding is not good, my bowling is horrible. Have not yet had the courage to try my spin - have been bowling donkey droppers so far. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415545493564771810-9199912817634992798?l=paperandapen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paperandapen.blogspot.com/feeds/9199912817634992798/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6415545493564771810&amp;postID=9199912817634992798' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415545493564771810/posts/default/9199912817634992798'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415545493564771810/posts/default/9199912817634992798'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paperandapen.blogspot.com/2008/05/cricket-chronicles.html' title='Cricket Chronicles !!!'/><author><name>Sudhakar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00679546010001456769</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ePTQD8RGZEs/SCcG6hcVuQI/AAAAAAAAAhU/jx8qd1Rebyw/s72-c/EasyCapture3.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415545493564771810.post-5537050745648808804</id><published>2008-05-07T07:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T13:05:06.497-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inspirations'/><title type='text'>Moments !!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ePTQD8RGZEs/SCcOOxcVuRI/AAAAAAAAAhc/uqUlN2Sv-x0/s1600-h/EasyCapture6.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199139941775685906" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ePTQD8RGZEs/SCcOOxcVuRI/AAAAAAAAAhc/uqUlN2Sv-x0/s200/EasyCapture6.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ePTQD8RGZEs/SCHEpU4NamI/AAAAAAAAAhE/IoPhuqa5Buo/s1600-h/Moments.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Blogger : &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/00679546010001456769"&gt;Sudhakar (me)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Blog : &lt;a href="http://takeabreak-at-anytime.blogspot.com/"&gt;Take a Break at anytime &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Post Id : &lt;a href="http://takeabreak-at-anytime.blogspot.com/2007/06/moments.html"&gt;Click here &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Subject : Moments in Real life,Inspiration&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;...............................................................................................................&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;SQUIRREL&lt;br /&gt;I was enjoying coffee at the backdoor garden at my native village.A wonderful village at the foothills of western gaths .A view takes you to the a beautiful mountain bathed in clouds.Small rain drops that drizzled made the place look like heaven to me.That was the time when I met an unusual friend.A small squirrel.It was a little older than a new born. Possibly it got lost from its mother and searching her.It was a little scared on seeing me ,but was not comfortable moving too much. So it settled down without running, at the place itself.I ran inside took a small piece of cut tomato .I tried to give it to the squirrel .First it was a little hesitant but later came before to taste it. Once it smelled it ,it turned its head.I tried to feed it in its mouth .It turned its head ,looked angry, like a lover in anger who turns her head(writers imagination only!).&lt;br /&gt;Then it did a peculiar thing it started indicating with its both hands in its mouth like scratching nuts.I did not understand first .But later understood it as indication of something to eat like nut.&lt;br /&gt;I went and fetched the nut and when I came back the mother had found the baby which it took hold of , underneath it and started moving away into the trees.&lt;br /&gt;A casual friend !!!!!.A beautiful time to remember.I still carry the picture of that ……..&lt;br /&gt;Moment!!!&lt;br /&gt;.....................................................................................................................................................&lt;br /&gt;There may be some small moments in life which are really wonderful,different,unusual,a lesson or anything .These are the moments in life which we should remember to learn,enjoy,love and store in minds.These moments do not give you any money ,wealth or power but these provide the essence of life.They give you the spirit ,enlightenment and entertainment,that you deserve.This heading tries to bring some of the best moments in life.(may be mine ,may be yours).&lt;br /&gt;………………………………………………………………………………………………................................. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415545493564771810-5537050745648808804?l=paperandapen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paperandapen.blogspot.com/feeds/5537050745648808804/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6415545493564771810&amp;postID=5537050745648808804' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415545493564771810/posts/default/5537050745648808804'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415545493564771810/posts/default/5537050745648808804'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paperandapen.blogspot.com/2008/05/moments.html' title='Moments !!!'/><author><name>Sudhakar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00679546010001456769</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ePTQD8RGZEs/SCcOOxcVuRI/AAAAAAAAAhc/uqUlN2Sv-x0/s72-c/EasyCapture6.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415545493564771810.post-7096990513871769720</id><published>2008-05-07T07:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T13:05:06.652-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Poems in Tamil'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tamil blogs.'/><title type='text'>Azhagiya Kavidaikal !!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ePTQD8RGZEs/SCcPQhcVuSI/AAAAAAAAAhk/wazBs0Bd3Vg/s1600-h/Dreamzz.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199141071352084770" style="FLOAT: right;

She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful red haired, freckle faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow down the spout. We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up their hurried day.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories were a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in, "Mom, let's run through the rain," she said. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"What?" Mom asked. "Let's run through the rain!" She repeated.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run through the rain." "We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said. "No, we won't, Mom.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm."This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?" &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;"Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!" &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes.Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. A time when innocent &lt;a href="http://www.wow4u.com/trust-quotes/index.html"&gt;trust&lt;/a&gt; can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith. "Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If GOD let's us get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," Mom said. Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and yes, through the puddles. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet.

But no one can ever take away your precious memories...So, don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories everyday. To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;A friend sent this to me to remind me of life.I HOPE YOU STILL TAKE THE TIME TO RUN THROUGH THE RAIN. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Keep in touch with your friends; you never know when you'll need each other.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415545493564771810-3077099305316557234?l=paperandapen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paperandapen.blogspot.com/feeds/3077099305316557234/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6415545493564771810&amp;postID=3077099305316557234' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415545493564771810/posts/default/3077099305316557234'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415545493564771810/posts/default/3077099305316557234'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paperandapen.blogspot.com/2008/05/monday-morning-inspitation-mom-and.html' title='Monday Morning Inspitation -A Mom and a Child!!!'/><author><name>NS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00323374252431454180</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EiCuoAiGzRc/SCcTw9to0RI/AAAAAAAAAEg/rXj4ZtiMeRI/s72-c/shalini.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415545493564771810.post-8633170232960746828</id><published>2008-05-04T09:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T13:05:07.745-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Short Stories'/><title type='text'>URAINDHU PONA MALLIGAL.........................

/&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Madurai,down south in Tamizh Nadu is a unique place.Wonderful temple which mesmerises visitors to this place, is unique.The lanes and by lanes to the temple are so full of people ,literally all 24 hours.The blaring music from each tea shop competing with that of the next shop renders music,if it can still be called that,at a decibel which can never be imagined by normal music lovers.But still the appreciating nods of people enjoying the tea sitting right in front of the speakers is a sight by itself !&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Walking out of the station our Vijay entered the lanes to find a lodge for his stay.He liked a place ,where lot of flower vendors had displayed their flowers in a KOODAI (basket).The fragrance was just enchanting.For a moment his thoughts flashed across to his girl friend,in Madras.In the evening ,when he returned after work, he ran to the elderly vendor and asked her for the price of the flowers,lovely madura malli (jasmine).She answered it was Rs 5 for 1000..He never heard of jasmine sold by numbers.He thought he heard it wrong.When she repeated it again ,he wondered how they would count it and how long they would take to count it.With twentyfive rupees, in his pocket,he thought he would buy 4000 flowers and told her so.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;VIJAY..AATHA,please pack 1000 in one and 3000 in a seperate pack.Please sprinkle sufficient water so that it lasts till morning.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;AATHA..Enna thambi(what brother)ammakum pondati kuma(is it for your mother and wife)VIJAY..Illa aatha,1000 saami padathukkum,3000 ennoda avalukkum(1000 for Gods photograph and 3000 for my girl) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;AATHA...Idha paarupa ..saami ku 1000 maam,avalukku 3000..Koduthu vechava pa ava(look at this !!1000 for God and 3000 for the girl.She is so lucky pa.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;VIJAY..yes aatha,she is so beautiful and the madurai jasmine will look so nice on her curly hair.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Sprinkling just sufficient water ,she packed it and gave it to him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;That was the begining of a long story.Everytime he visited Madurai he used to buy the malli(jasmine ) from AATHA and take it to Chennai.His career path took an exponential growth and his visits to Madurai dropped.But whenever he came to madurai, wherever he stayed ,the visit to buy 4000 malli from aatha was a must.His marriage , birth of his two kids was all updated .Aatha was also becoming old but happiness in meeting an old customer was writ on her wrinkled but cheerful face.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;One day vijay made his usual visit to the area where he used to buy the malli.In front of the koodai(basket)was a little girl.As he was enquiring about Aatha,she walked down.AATHA..Enna Thambi Bayundhuteengala(What Brother,You got worried ,Is it ).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Saying this ,she asked the little girl to move and started counting the Mallis.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;AATHA..enna thambi romba naal aachu indha pakkam vandhu (what brother its ages since you came this side)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;VIJAY..aamam aatha(yes aatha)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;AATHA..4000 poothane thambi(4000 jasmine isnt it brother )&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;VIJAY..Aatha 2000 poo podhum(2000 jasmine enough)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br

Among which only with quite few we establish friendship and not all friends make a profound impact in our lives. Friendship is the only word which can be used to define a relation between a 19 year old and 90 year old. There might be a very good friend with whom we share everything that happens around us and as days pass by each of us might get busy with the new phase of life or get busy with the mechanical life. Then the closeness in the relation slowly reduces. Of course we don’t forget the person who was very close to us at some point in life but still we feel something is missing. We still might be in contact with that friend but the voidness in the intimacy would be felt easily.&lt;br /&gt;At every stage of our life, there must be someone very close or someone whom we really liked much. As soon as we think of the days in school, in college or in a particular house or in a street or in an office there must be some one flashing in our mind who was exceptionally close than the rest of the others. I just happened to see a photo of me and one of my friend who was very close to me few years back. Her grandfather had professional contact with dad and then we happened to be more of family friends. She used to stay with us in our house and we have had all kind of pranks and plays and talks. There was nothing that we failed to do together. Now their place is far from ours though we are still in contact. But still the intimacy which we had that time is missing. The situation is worse if there are best friends among which the genders are opposite. And one gets committed to work or to another person in life and again the intimacy is lost. I was just wondering in few relations if the intimacy is very short lived or it appears that way. But I just learnt that never fail to express that you feel great, comfortable with that person at that point of time. Practically speaking being close with all the friends from our childhood is not possible. Express that their presence in your life is valued with your words or a warm hug would speak more than any number of words. At least you can be happy that you made some one feel great about oneself.&lt;br /&gt;Expressing that you are happy because of some one is a great open secret but very rarely we realize and make use of it. May it be between friends or between a student and a teacher or between mom and kid or between husband and wife or in any relation, express their presence in your life is valued and it can never be replaced we will happen to see enigmatic happiness in oneself and in others life as well.&lt;br /&gt;Labels: &lt;a href="http://princessofgold.blogspot.com/search/label/Relationships" rel="tag"&gt;Relationships&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a name="1639386357801052877"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by Ponnarasi Kothandaramaposted n at 9:47 AM&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415545493564771810-8161189801912122610?l=paperandapen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paperandapen.blogspot.com/feeds/8161189801912122610/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6415545493564771810&amp;postID=8161189801912122610' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415545493564771810/posts/default/8161189801912122610'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415545493564771810/posts/default/8161189801912122610'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paperandapen.blogspot.com/2008/05/is-intimacy-in-relationships-short.html' title='Is the intimacy in Relationships short lived.!!!'/><author><name>Sudhakar</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00679546010001456769</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ePTQD8RGZEs/SCcSmxcVuUI/AAAAAAAAAh0/Twz9p95Q5Kc/s72-c/POnnarasi.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415545493564771810.post-9210982126671125838</id><published>2008-04-26T23:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T13:05:08.124-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Survival'/><title type='text'>Facing the heat during summer days</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EiCuoAiGzRc/SBQdwJDkPnI/AAAAAAAAADg/iFZ1cLFzQC0/s1600-h/baseball_cap_ganson.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193808983166828146" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EiCuoAiGzRc/SBQdwJDkPnI/AAAAAAAAADg/iFZ1cLFzQC0/s400/baseball_cap_ganson.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;So summer has arrived and we have to equip our self to face the summer heat.

Your good performance will be undermined .You will become a rat in front of a Tiger. So here are steps that could help you deal with the situation .They are not the only solution but they are like One More Idea to a solution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Learn to answer and deal with the situation calmly. Generally it helps to cool the situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Remember -do not be a person who would like his reputation to be like the “ultimate king in the office”. Be one among the employees. The fact that you are trying to be over smart can sometimes trigger anger. Be flexible like a tree that sways in the wind. It is natural for the reputation to go up and come down at certain times. Reputation curve is not a straight line. Think it like a stock in stock market that goes up at one time and comes down at some time but still the stock has its own long term value.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 Try to think in your boss’s perspective and try to see what worries him. You could come to a method to deal with his problems and that helps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Do not also become a “Yes boss “personality .Have your view and put your views before the boss clearly, patiently and calmly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. You may sometimes have to talk with the boss. This may be difficult, but better to take up the issue with him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Do not start criticizing the boss .Do not become  aggressive and argumentative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Do not exclude yourself from others to satisfy your boss. Be natural and learn to move with all .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Some times it is better to ignore certain remarks of the person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Do not always try to keep company of such bosses . Deal with him for what is required and get away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. If the torture is excess better try to take it to the HR person and may be you could consider changing the department.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. In the worst case when nothing works you could consider quitting the job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. One golden rule is that you should never compromise your health for your Boss!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415545493564771810-4694923171084725568?l=paperandapen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paperandapen.blogspot.com/feeds/4694923171084725568/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6415545493564771810&amp;postID=4694923171084725568' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415545493564771810/posts/default/4694923171084725568'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415545493564771810/posts/default/4694923171084725568'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paperandapen.blogspot.com/2008/04/dealing-with-bullying-boss.html' title='Dealing  with Bullying Boss.'/><author><name>NS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00323374252431454180</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EiCuoAiGzRc/SAs5429K6wI/AAAAAAAAADA/bTfwlIcoN08/s72-c/man_face_darek_adamkiewi_01.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415545493564771810.post-2171308192080461324</id><published>2008-04-18T08:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-18T08:45:24.144-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Food recepies'/><title type='text'>Butter Naan</title><content type='html'>Here is the method to make tasty and delicious Butter Naan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vnAa29nuLaU&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vnAa29nuLaU&amp;amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6415545493564771810-2171308192080461324?l=paperandapen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://paperandapen.blogspot.com/feeds/2171308192080461324/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6415545493564771810&amp;postID=2171308192080461324' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415545493564771810/posts/default/2171308192080461324'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6415545493564771810/posts/default/2171308192080461324'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://paperandapen.blogspot.com/2008/04/butter-naan.html' title='Butter Naan'/><author><name>NS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00323374252431454180</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415545493564771810.post-7764076056474026517</id><published>2008-04-18T07:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-18T09:11:10.619-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ABA-Privacy Policy'/><title type='text'>Privacy Policy</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We respect your Privacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes how information is collected and used on &lt;a href="http://www.onemore-idea.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://www.onemore-idea.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; ( “Blog”).

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;1.Prepare for a maximum for 2 to 2 1/2 hours at a time .Do not extend it so far.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Your mind will only get tired.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;2.Give small gaps while studying.In a study period of 2 hours ,you should at least have gap every half hour.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;3.Take notes while studying.Take only the gist .Do not write every thing.You should take key words only to remember.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;4.Use maps ,drawings,flowcharts to take notes.It gives a better grasping to the brain.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;5.Revise the notes at the following times.After finishing study,before the day end,next day ,that week end,that month end ,6 months etc.First 3 revisions said are a must to remember.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;
