STARK REALITIES

 FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:

 




STARK REALITIES

 

 

The best thing to live with is good conduct and CHARACTER;

 

The worst thing is JITTER;

 

Your conscience is the best ALERTER;

 

To avoid things that are BITTER!

 

 

 

 

It's great to be HUMBLE;

 

Don't treat life as a GAMBLE;

 

In which you may STUMBLE;

 

Ignore people who GRUMBLE!

 

 

 

 

It’s better to plough a lonely furrow rather than being in a bad COMPANY;

 

For they will give you only AGONY;

 

Money is everything for MANY;

 

With good people around, we will have HARMONY;

 

And a SYMPHONY;

 

Overall, it will be a good friends’ COLONY!

FEATHERS OF POSITIVE PHILOSOPHY!

Image
From Sampath’s Desk :     FEATHERS OF POSITIVE PHILOSOPHY!     The concept of ‘philosophy’ used here is about the empirical aspects of life such as - how to find joy and happiness generally and to keep ourselves cool and unperturbed, clothed with feathers of positive philosophy in the face of ordeals and distress. Again, on the one side, it is about feeling self-joy, and on the other, a solace-seeking exercise during trials and tribulations. Some tips have been attempted here.   If you happen to be rich in wealth and affluent, think that God has given you the extra wealth and money for helping others. The best way to find joy and happiness is to make others happy by charity without expecting anything in return much less gratitude. It is only the possessor of wealth who should be actually grateful to God for providing him/her the opportunity to help the needy. It is of course easier said than done, but the real joy lies in giving and in going to the succo...

  FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:       THIRUMURUGA KRIPANANDA VARIYAR திருமுருக கிருபானந்த வாரியார் (25 August 1906 - 7 November 1993)   THIRUMURUGA KRIPANANDA VARIYAR was born on 25.8.1906 in Kangeyanallur near Vellore, Tamil Nadu.   He sowed divinity in the minds of the common man and words contemplated upon were humorously conveyed by him so as to grip the minds of his audience. He was affectionately and reverently called VARIYAR SWAMIGAL by people.   He had no formal education. However, he was brought up by his father himself at home giving him core divine knowledge and wisdom. Swamigal learned Tamil literature, grammar, and music, especially playing Veena. At age 8 itself, he had to his credit many poems in ‘Venba’ style. By age 12, he learned by heart at least 10000 hymns, mostly devotional numbers.   During my boyhood days in Triplicane, I used to go to his divine and spiritual discourses. Tamil language and devotional hymns...

MY TRYST WITH SHORTHAND

Image
  FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:         MY TRYST WITH SHORTHAND   A great salute/tribute to Sir Issac Pitman (4 January 1813 – 22 January 1897)   The necessity of writing words, phrases, sentences, and texts in shorthand was a long-felt one so that notes of speeches could be taken easily and presented quickly verbatim.   The history of shorthand or tachygraphy dates back to the ancient Greeks and perhaps even much earlier. The archaeological records show that stenographic symbols from Greece were discovered on the 'Acropolis Stone' (350 BCE). A marble slab found in Greece depicts a modified writing system that used not only vowels but also included certain modifications to denote consonants.  Taking clues and cues from this ancient work, some authors tried and founded their own versions of shorthand writing. Besides being known as stenography (close, little, or narrow writing in normal parlance), shorthand is sometimes called tachy...
