It is appropriate time for every one to share the joy
they had during this Deepawali.

To me 2006 Deepawali is a Special Deepawali,
which I enjoyed as a Grand father for the first time.
My daughter ANURADHA gave birth to a Female Child SANJANA on 17-7-2006.
My Elder son ARAVIND got promotion as Assistant Manager in
GE Capital International Services, Electronic City, Bangalore .
My Younger Son ANAND got transfer from Mysore Infosys to Chennai Infosys.
No doubt , my Joy knew no bounds, in enjoying this Deepawali
that too with my entire family.

for any purpose other than GOOD ONLY.

SPIDER BITE

*A spider bite…please read………..*
And you thought the brown recluse was bad!!!

Three women in North Florida , turned up at hospitals over a 5-day period,
all with the same symptoms :
Fever, chills and vomiting, followed by muscular collapse, paralysis
and finally, death.
There were no outward signs of trauma.
Autopsy results showed toxicity in the blood.
These women did not know each other and seemed to have nothing in common.
It was discovered, however, that they had all visited the same Restaurant (Olive Garden)
within days of their deaths.
The health department descended on the restaurant, shutting it down.
The food, water, and air conditioning were all inspected and tested, to no avail.
The big break came when a waitress at the restaurant was rushed to the
hospital with similar symptoms.

Beware! Marriage is not a word.
It’s a Sentence….not a Simple Sentence… but a Life Sentence!

Marriage is an institution in which
a man loses his Bachelor’s Degree and
the woman gets her Masters.

Marriage is a 3-ring circus –
Engagement ring, Wedding ring and Suffe _ring.

A happy marriage is a matter of give and take.
The husband gives and the wife takes.

After Marriage, it is sure she will make you a Millionaire!
Condition is that you should be a Multi-millionaire!

They say marriages are made in Heaven.
But so is thunder and lightning.

After marriage, husband and wife become two sides of a coin;
they just can’t face each other, but still they stay together.

WHY DO WE DO AARATI?

Towards the end of every ritualistic worship (pooja or bhajan)
of the Lord or to welcome an honored guest or saint,
we perform the aarati.
This is always accompanied by the ringing of
the bell and sometimes by singing, playing of musical instruments
and clapping.
It is one of the sixteen steps (shodasha upachaara) of the pooja ritual.
It is referred to as the lighted lamp in the right hand,

WHY DO WE CHANT OM?

Om is one of the most chanted sound symbols in India.
It has a profound effect on the body and
mind of the one who chants and also on the surroundings.
Most mantras and vedic prayers start with Om.
All auspicious actions begin with Om.
It is even used as a greeting - Om, Hari Om etc.
It is repeated as a mantra or meditated upon.
Its form is worshipped, contemplated upon or used
as an auspicious sign.
Om is the universal name of the Lord.
It is made up of the letters -
A (phonetically as in “around”),
