People who point at their wrist&lt;br /&gt; while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is&lt;br /&gt; pal, where the&lt;br /&gt; hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask&lt;br /&gt; where the toilet is?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; 2. People who are willing to get off&lt;br /&gt; their ass to search the entire room for the tv remote&lt;br /&gt; because they&lt;br /&gt; refuse to walk to the tv and change the channel&lt;br /&gt; manually.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; 3. When people say &quot;Oh you just want to have your cake&lt;br /&gt; and eat it too&quot;. Damn right! What good is cake if you&lt;br /&gt; can't eat it?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; 4. When people say &quot;it's always the&lt;br /&gt; last place you look&quot;. Of course it is. Why the hell&lt;br /&gt; would you keep&lt;br /&gt; looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who&lt;br /&gt; and where are&lt;br /&gt; they? Gonna Kick their asses!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; 5. When people say while watching a&lt;br /&gt; film &quot;did you see that?&quot;. No Loser, I paid $12 to come&lt;br /&gt; to the cinema&lt;br /&gt; and stare at the damn floor.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; 6. People who ask &quot;Can I ask you a question?&quot;....&lt;br /&gt; Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; 7. When something is 'new and&lt;br /&gt; improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has&lt;br /&gt; never been&lt;br /&gt; anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there&lt;br /&gt; must have been&lt;br /&gt; something before it, couldn't be new.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; 8. When people say &quot;life is short&quot;.&lt;br /&gt; What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone&lt;br /&gt; ever does!! What&lt;br /&gt; can you do that's longer?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; 9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks&lt;br /&gt; &quot;Has the bus come yet?&quot;. If the bus came would I be&lt;br /&gt; standing here, dumbass?&lt;/p&gt; </content> </entry>  <entry> <author> <name>Yuri Gagarin Chelladurai</name> <uri>http://kanalpakkangal.blogspirit.com/about.html</uri> </author> <title>Happy Tamil Year!</title> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://kanalpakkangal.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/04/14/happy-tamil-year.html" />  <id>tag:kanalpakkangal.blogspirit.com,2006-04-14:709453</id> <updated>2006-04-14T13:58:30+05:00</updated> <published>2006-04-14T13:58:30+05:00</published>   <summary> இனிய தமிழ் புத்தாண்டு நல்வாழ்த்துக்கள் </summary> <content type="html" xml:base="http://kanalpakkangal.blogspirit.com/"> இனிய தமிழ் புத்தாண்டு நல்வாழ்த்துக்கள் </content> </entry>  <entry> <author> <name>Yuri Gagarin Chelladurai</name> <uri>http://kanalpakkangal.blogspirit.com/about.html</uri> </author> <title>Political alliances must be banned in a democracy</title> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://kanalpakkangal.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/04/11/political-alliances-must-be-banned-in-a-democracy.html" />  <id>tag:kanalpakkangal.blogspirit.com,2006-04-11:702289</id> <updated>2006-04-11T14:20:00+05:00</updated> <published>2006-04-11T14:20:00+05:00</published>   <category term="Politics" scheme="http://www.blogspirit.com/ns/types#category" />    <summary> In theory we selecting parties for their policies, ideals etc. But in...</summary> <content type="html" xml:base="http://kanalpakkangal.blogspirit.com/"> In theory we selecting parties for their policies, ideals etc. But in practical scenario they are all doing business in the name of seatsharing.

When they are all oppurtunistic.. why cant we the voters. If they change stances for a few crore of ruppes.. we can also change our stance &amp;amp; vote for a few hundred ruppes!! Ugly democrosy!

But shocked to see the Rigveda and &amp;quot;wisdom of the glorious past&amp;quot;. They are enough to go against this another high tech party. India's past glory is a myth. People are/were sucked their blood by hardworking conditions and millions of people who are really productive are made slaves in the name of sutras and manu dharmas. So these IIT tech people wanna fight anti corruption in the name Rigveda and past glory is like.. for a small insect ... burning your own house. Sorry, tamilnadu is something different my dear Sanathanavaadis or past glory fanatics.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I just wanted to know when Indias Glorious Past existed? What was the litteracy rate in those time. How the Percapita income was better than anyother country? What is the country called Bharath? IS that a proper country are a general symbolic name for a kaliedoscopic culture or a geographical meaning beyond Indus river? ( Dont say other YUga calculations/stories LOL! )Dont hide behind your glorious degrees and this socio-political-economy issues are better discussed by people of tamilnadu than anyone though we vote to film stars. It is nothing but addiction to art forgetting the reality. We will come up at our own pace. We have seen People like Kamaraj and periyar! Sorry youngsters.. you can not bring the socio economical revolution in this way.. you may take india to backwards and you wont be able to go beyong egroups with basic flaws!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;One nice poem by Blogger Veda !&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I came accross one interesting blog by Veda ( while I was searching for the above article) .

Only Aiswarya Roy and Rani was given prominence. Is it the way to treat the hero of the game.. that too from our country. Shame on media.

One young Boxer Jitendra Kumar fighting heavily with an English Boxer. He fought bravely and lost in the final round on Points. Still he has earned a Bronze Medal for the country. How many of us watched the match. In an another scene all my friends are heavilly discussing about India's loss in Cricket as if that is the only sports played in our country. But when India fails in sports in olympic we all blame everyone ... from the system to politicians to coaches to the athlets. What rights we have to raise those question again and again. We all seeing only cricket and nowadays a bit of tennis in TV. When we watch more and more more sponsers for the game ! More money to the organisations and athlets. If we all going on watching only cricket and not anyother sports then no sponsers, no money, no motivation from the youngsters to take the sports... this chain reaction results in NO MEDALS. So as a simple Indian what we must do to change this ? Answer is also sim-ple... Watch more sports.. discuss the feats of persons like Jitendra Kumar, who are fighting ( by facing all those Punches) for the country with your friends, going to the local stadium with your friends for watching the athletics... etc OR SIMPLY BLAME INDIA FOR NOT WINNING THE GOLD! &lt;b&gt;The ball is in your hands now! - Chella&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;My friend senthil&lt;/b&gt; came on Chat and told me... &quot; Sir Charunivethitha also started writing like you&quot;... and sent me the link. I read those pages fully and found the contents are excellent and thought provoking... mainly on the jessica murder case and Salman Khan case. After reading i wonder who are tribals ?...

After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question: &quot;When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?&quot; The audience was stilled by the query. The father continued. &quot;I believe,that when a child like Shay, physically and mentally handicapped comes into the world!, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes, in the way other people treat that child. &quot;Then he told the following story: Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked,” Do you think they'll let me play?&quot; Shay's father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much. The boy looked around for guidance and said, &quot;We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.&quot; Shay struggled over to the team's bench put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his Father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart. The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as his father waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible 'cause Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing theother team putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved ina few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least be able tomake contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed.The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towardsShay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow groundball right back to t he pitcher. The game would now be over, but the pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the firstbaseman, out of reach of all teammates. Everyone from the stands and bothteams started yelling, &quot;Shay, run to first! Run to first!&quot; Never in hislife had Shay ever ran that far but made it to first base. He scampereddown the baseline, wide-eyed and startled. Everyone yelled, &quot;Run to second, run to second!&quot; Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to second base.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head. Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home. All were screaming, &quot;Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay&quot; Shay reached third base, the opposing shortstop ran to help him and turned him in the direction of third base, and shouted, &quot;Run to third! Shay, run to third&quot; As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams and those watching were on their feet were screaming, &quot;Shay, run home! Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the &quot;grand slam&quot; and won the game for his team. That day, said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world. Shay didn't make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his Father so happy and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;AND, NOW A LITTLE FOOTNOTE TO THIS STORY: We all send thousands of jokes through the e-mail without a second thought, but when it comes to sending messages about life choices, people think twice about sharing. The crude, vulgar, and often obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion about decency is too often suppressed in our schools and workplaces.
