A story which made me Laugh !!

A Curious Funeral Procession One morning, as a man was leaving a café with his coffee, he noticed a very unusual funeral procession. At the front was a coffin, followed by a second coffin about 50 feet behind. Behind the second coffin, a solitary man walked quietly, accompanied by a black dog. What caught the man’s attention even more was the long line of 200 men following behind in single file. Curiosity got the better of him, so he approached the man with the dog and said, "I’m sorry for your loss, and I know this isn’t the best time—but I’ve never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?" The man replied, "The first coffin is for my wife." Intrigued, the curious man asked, "What happened to her?" The man sighed and said, "My dog attacked and killed her." Shocked, the onlooker asked, "And the second coffin?" The man responded, "That’s my mother-in-law—she was trying to help my wife when the dog attacked and killed her too." A moment of silence followed as the first man processed the information. Then, with a spark of excitement, he asked, "Can I borrow the dog?" Without missing a beat, the man replied, "Get in line."

A Boy who asked me a surprising question

During the intermission of the movie Blue, a 4-year-old boy asked, "Excuse me, is this the 'Shark Movie?' Did you see my fat mother?" He was looking for his mom, who was nowhere to be found at the time. By the end of the intermission, he successfully found her! When I asked if he saw any sharks in the movie, he replied, "Yes, in the beginning... but did you see my fat mother?" What a smart little one!

PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Once you understand the purpose, you will know how to treat them. When someone enters your life for a REASON, it is often to fulfill a need you've expressed. They might help you through a challenge, provide guidance, or offer emotional or spiritual support. They may seem like a blessing, and in a way, they are. But when their role is done—whether through words, actions, or timing—the relationship comes to an end. Sometimes they leave, sometimes they pass away, or sometimes they force you to make a difficult choice. Remember, their work is complete, and it’s time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON. During this time, they bring peace, laughter, or experiences that help you grow. They may teach you something new or fill you with joy. These moments are real, but they are meant to be temporary. LIFETIME relationships, however, teach you lifelong lessons. These lessons help you build a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to embrace those lessons, love the person, and apply what you’ve learned in all other relationships and areas of your life. As it is said, "Love is blind, but friendship is clairvoyant." Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my life—whether for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. To all my friends, I appreciate you!

Quote for the day

"I was thinking one day, and I realized that if I just had someone behind me, motivating me, I could make a big difference. But since no one came along, I became that person for myself." Isn't that true? We often wait for others to support us, but that leads to expectations and complacency. In the end, you might find yourself alone. The key is to always support yourself and be your own source of motivation.

A Memorable Trip to Kerala

A Memorable Trip to Kerala I was in Kerala from August 31st to September 7th, and while the trip began on a pleasant note, things took an unexpected turn by September 5th. My first welcome to Kerala was rain—non-stop rain! The only song that came to mind was: "Rain, rain, go away, Big Abhayan wants to see the place!" But, unfortunately, the rain gods showed no mercy. Onam was special because most of my relatives were there, and, of course, the delicious feast made it even better. Yet, there was an emptiness in the celebration—everyone missed my dad. On September 4th, I visited my dad’s home village, Mynagapally. What awaited me was heartbreaking news—my grandfather had been admitted to the hospital, and no one was home. We rushed to see him. He looked tired and frail, and seeing him in that condition made me reflect on the kind-hearted man he was and how he raised his eight children—with my dad being the eldest. The next day, September 5th, I was planning to go out with friends for a procession when I received the devastating news—my grandfather had passed away. We hurried back to the village, and I became a part of his final rituals. In that solemn moment, I realized that destiny had brought me to Kerala—to fill the gap left by my father and fulfill my duty to my grandfather. This trip was never planned, but it seemed like fate had already written this chapter. My return flight was on September 7th, and I nearly missed it! According to Airport Authority of India rules, you need to report three hours before departure. My flight was at 1:30 PM, but I only left home at 10:45 AM and reached the airport by 12:15 PM. After making a few calls, I was allowed in—but it was a close call. Meanwhile, Pikku was at his naughtiest—constantly testing my sister’s patience. Despite my occasional stern looks, he remained unfazed. Honestly, I’m not sure where he’s heading, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he makes a grand entry at a SuperbKids or SuperbTeens event soon! And that’s the story of my unexpected and emotional trip to Kerala.

Mohanlal misses the award!

Mohanlal who was tipped to get the 55th National Film Awards for 2007 for his brilliant performance as Valiyakathu Moosa in Pardesi(see pic), lost it by a whisker to Prakash Raj.

A source close to one of the jury members said: “Till the last round Mohanlal was the front runner to get the awards. In the final round, he and Prakash Raj got equal number of votes from the jury members. Finally it was the jury chairman’s casting vote which made Prakash the winner.”

This is not the first time where Mohanlal missed the Bharat Award like this in 1989 he missed it for Kireedom, 1996 for Iruvar, 2005 Thanmathra, and in 2007 for Pardesi !! His tally should have been 7 by now as there many other times he missed the same !!

Anyway Praksah raj did deserved the award and it was an exceptional performance- Best of Luck for the Next time !!

Scattered Papers – really beautiful! - I was very impressed by this message

Scattered Papers – A Powerful Lesson Once upon a time, an old man began spreading rumors that his neighbor was a thief. As a result, the young man was arrested. However, a few days later, he was proven innocent and released. Angry and humiliated, the young man decided to sue the old man for defamation. In court, the old man defended himself, saying, "They were just words—I didn't harm anyone." Before delivering the verdict, the judge handed the old man a simple task: "Write down everything you said about your neighbor on a piece of paper. Cut it into small pieces and scatter them on your way home. Return tomorrow to hear the judgment." The next day, the judge asked the old man to collect all the scattered pieces of paper. Confused, the old man replied, "That's impossible! The wind has spread them everywhere—I could never find them all." The judge then said, "Exactly. In the same way, your careless words have damaged this young man's reputation, and no matter how hard you try, you cannot undo the harm. If you cannot speak kindly about someone, it is better to say nothing at all." "Let us be masters of our words—lest we become slaves to their consequences." 💭 Think twice before speaking about others—you never know the damage your words can cause.
