Intellectuals

A community gets the intellectuals it deserves. Sometimes less perhaps, but never more.

Handcuffed freedom

If you have the freedom to write, but your hands are cuffed, why write?
If you have the freedom to think, but your mind is cuffed, why think?
If you have the freedom to run, but your legs are shackled, why run?
Silence is an expression that cannot be muffled.
Practice silence. No one can stop you from practicing it.
Timed silence is better than untimely speech.

Freedom

If you are in a position where others say that they have given you enough freedom, you are not free. It's when you don't care about what they intend to give you, but will still be free that there will be true freedom.

Freedom is never given, it's always taken.

If you are in a position when you have to be doled out freedom from somebody, it's high time you got off their clutches and broke free.

Let there truly be freedom.

Waves

When a large wave vanishes, a thousand small waves will fill the space, but they seldom accomplish what the larger wave achieved.

Ignorance

It's always better to laugh at others' ignorance than to expose one's own. What's more, it involves less effort and provides more entertainment.

Interests

I wanted to join a philatelists forum
They wanted only a philatelist.
I had other interests too;
So, they chucked me out.

I wanted to join a book club
They wanted just a book worm.
I had other interests too;
So, they chucked me out.

I wanted to join a golf club
They wanted just a golf monger.
I had other interests too;
So, they chucked me out.

I tried many other clubs.
They just wanted specialised interests.
Like always, I had other interests too;
So, they all chucked me out.

Now, I am out here looking
For a jack-of-all-trades club.
They can have their interests and I mine
So that they can't chuck me out.

Strength

O God! Give me the strength

To overcome dejection with enthusiasm
To overcome inaction with action
To overcome failure with perseverance
And to overcome grief with happiness

O God! Give me the strength

To overcome weakness with strength
To overcome anger with patience
To overcome the negative with positive thoughts
And to overcome temptation with reasoning

To top it all, O God, give me the strength never to pray and ask you for anything. :-))

Wickedness

With a change in one alphabet to my name, I could have easily been named satyr.

Forum Parties

In a party, I am not looking to be noted for repartee. If I am noted at all, that will do.

Friend

I can be a friend, but if you are also looking for a philosopher and guide, please look elsewhere.

Search

If you looked everywhere and did not find it, try in other places.

Price discounts

Don't tell me you have a rebate of 10%, 20%, 50% etc. I am waiting for someone to come along and give me a 100% rebate. I won't buy for anything less than that.

Rocket Science and writing

I know that writing is no rocket science. Do you know that rocket science isn't writing either?

Stinkers

Some guys stink because they piss in their pants.

Ethics of writers

The least thing that I expect from a writer is owning up one's own writing and facing the consequences of one's writing. The worst thing that an author can do is to smear one's writing on a hapless desk rewriter to save one's own ass. How cheap can people get?

If someone pointed an error, I expect a good writer to be gracious enough to acknowledge one's mistake and see that it is not committed again.

Strictness

You have to put your foot down when you have to put it down, but make sure you don't put it into a puddle of mud. :-)

Origin

It doesn't matter where we come from; what matters is where we are going to go to.

Wealth

Everyone needs to fill their pockets, but not to the extent that the weight of the contents pulls their pants down.

Comments

I am so bored with seeing no comments to my blogs that I am seriously considering entering some comments myself. Of course, in praise of my words, but who am I trying to fool? :-)

Existence

Hey! you guys don't exist. You are all part of a dream. What's more? It's my dream!

Insults

A fool takes insults personally. A wise man keeps them personally.

Biography

Don't ask me if my autobiography will be a true story. I don't know yet!

Father's day

I went and wished my friend a very happy Father's day!
So? what happened?
Dammit, she's a woman. She did not like it.

Questions

Do you like to answer questions?
Yes. Next question please.

Do you like to ask questions?
You bet! Hey! What's your problem?

Competition

If your competition is making you starve, don't do anything to starve them. Instead, simply eat them. Your hunger will go and theirs will too! :-)

Spelling

My spelling is impeccble. :-D

Fools

I don't suffer fools gladly, but just make fools suffer gladly.

Bad omen!

Is it a bad omen for relationships if glass breaks? Well, it depends. Did it break on your head when you were having an argument with your girlfriend in the restaurant? That's a bad omen!

About Truth

I may not always speak the truth. That's simply because I know to lie. ha ha

Piggy bank

I never saved my money in a piggy bank because I am not a piggy. Hee hee!

చాలా రోజులైంది ఇక్కడ రాసి

ఇక్కడ రాసి చాలా రోజులైంది. ఈవేళ ఏదైనా రాద్దామన్న ఉద్దేశ్యంతో ఈ సందేశం మొదలు పెట్టాను.

కానీ ఇంత దూరం వచ్చే సరికే నిద్ర వచ్చింది. దానితో పోస్టుకి స్వస్తి. రేపు నిశ్చయంగా ఏదైనా రాస్తాను. చూద్దాం కుదురుతుందో లేదో.

ట్సునామీ, ట్సునామీ, ట్సునామీ!

స్వామీ! ఏమిటి ఈ ట్సునామీ?
26 డిశంబరు 2004 న ప్రొద్దున్నే మద్రాసులో 7 గంటల ప్రాంతంలో భూకంపం వచ్చింది. మొత్తం అన్న్ని టీవీ చానెళ్ళూ దాన్ని గురించే వార్త లను అందించడం మొదలు పెట్టాయి. మా పనుల్లో మేము కొంత సేపటికి నిమగ్నమయాం. కాసేపటి తర్వాత అవే చానెళ్ళలో వార్తలు విషాదంగా మారాయి. జలప్రళయం వచ్చిందని ఒకటే మాట.

తెలుగు చస్తోందా?

తెలుగు చస్తోంది, చస్తోంది అని చాలా మంది మొత్తుకుంటున్నప్పటికీ ఇంకా కొందరు మట్టుకూ నిమ్మకు నీరెత్తినట్లున్నారు. నిజంగా తెలుగు చస్తోందా? ఇదీ ప్రశ్న. ఏమో! కొందరేమో ఇంతకు మునుపెప్పటికన్నా తెలుగు వ్రాసేవారూ, మాట్లాడేవారూ, చదివేవారూ, ఇప్పుడే ఎక్కువగా ఉన్నారని అంటున్నారు. లోగుట్టు పెరుమాళ్ళకెరుక అన్నట్లు, ఈ విషయము కాస్త బోధపడకుండా వుంది. ఎవరైనా ఇటు వస్తే కాస్త విశదీకరించండి. నేటికి సుత్తి ఇంతే.

తెలుగులో వ్రాయగల్గటం నాకు నచ్చింది

తెలుగులో వ్రాయగల్గటం నాకు నచ్చింది అని అనగానే తెలుగులో తెగ వ్రాసేయగలనని భ్రమపడిపోతారేమో. పడకండేం! ఇదేదో కొత్తొక వింతా పాతొక రోతా అన్నట్లుంది. అంతే. త్వరలోనే, నేను నా దగ్గర ఉన్న తెలుగు సామెతలను ఇక్కడికి ఎక్కిద్దామని అనుకుంటున్నాను. చూద్దాం చేయగలనో లేదో.

పెద్దలకీ చిన్నలకీ అందరికీ వందనములు

పెద్దలకంటే పిన్నలే ఎక్కువ ఉనంట్లున్నారు ఈ వల మీద. వల అంటే నెట్ కి వచ్చిన అవస్థ అన్నమాట! కాబట్టి పిన్నలందరికీ ఆశీస్సులు. బ్లాగులను బాగు బ్లాగు అనేటట్లుగా రాసేస్తున్నారు. బ్లాగులు వర్ధిల్లాలని కోరుకుంటూ సత్య
