A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple & the boy was the gem of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open.

Pursue a Lifetime of Learning :-))
“You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the books you read and the people you meet.” -Charles Jones
Sure, most of us want to be intelligent, well-rounded, informed people with an interesting opinion and an ability to conduct an adult conversation. But sometimes that’s hard when your days mostly involve diaper changes, cooking, shuttling back and forth for kids activities, Goodnight Moon, Thomas and friends, Tinker Bell, Dr Seuss, Dora etc..

ONE BEDROOM FLAT... WRITTEN BY AN INDIAN ENGINEER...
A Bitter Reality
As the dream of most parents I had acquired a degree in Engineering and joined a company based in USA, the land of braves and opportunity. When I arrived in the USA, it was as if a dream had come true. Here at last I was in the place where I want to be. I decided I would be staying in this country for about Five years in which time I would have earned enough money to settle down in India. My father was a government employee and after his retirement, the only asset he could acquire was a decent one bedroom flat.I wanted to do some thing more than him. I started feeling homesick and lonely as the time passed. I used to call home and speak to my parents every week using cheap international phone cards. Two years passed, two years of Burgers at McDonald's and pizzas and discos and 2 years watching the foreign exchange rate getting happy whenever the Rupee value went down.

I' am supposed to go and get thamboola from my close friend today :-))
So I thought of keeping fast today for my mapillai(my son-in-law) before I go and get vethalapakku!
Yesterday I read from a forum that the last friday before Aadi masam if we have fasting for Goddess Mahalakshmi, our wish will come out true.

Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people are always in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experience ill fortune. I placed advertisements in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky to contact me.
Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my research and over the years, I have nterviewed them, monitored their lives and had them take part in experiments.
The results reveal that although these people have almost no insight into the causes of their luck, their thoughts and behaviour are responsible for much of their good and bad fortune.

The story really moved me and made me think about pursuit of happiness:
Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour a day to drain the fluids from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.
