The School teacher

The School teacher

By

P.R.Ramachander

The doctor who saved millions of people,

The great IG who prevented several great crimes,

The great minister well known for his efficiency ,

The religious savant who taught religion to all,

Were all invited by a president of a great country,

So that He could honour all of them .

And they all got down from their car near the gate of his mansion,

And fell at the feet of a very poor old women,

Who was with curiosity standing there.

And when the President asked why , they all told ,

She was our school teacher and we are ,

What we are because of her Teaching ,

The President with tears in his eyes went out of his mansion ,

Fell at her feet and Told her “Teacher I have become like this because of you”

Description  of human life  from  Vidhura neethi

P.R.Ramachander

(I read this in tamil in a post  of my friend  Sri Vasu Iyengar. What  a wonderful description of life?)

One person entered  in to a forest,

Wild animals  started chasing him,

He was scared and then a very  ugly ,

Whom no body will like  embraced him

He some how  escaped  and started  running

He fell in a  well  covered by plants and grass,

He caught hold of a  climber and felt safe,

Then he saw a huge snake  below  him,

He wanted   to escape   and   saw  upwards,

He  saw an elephant there  with  six faces,

And twelve  legs and then  he also  saw,

Some black and white rats cutting away,

The plant on which   he was  hanging

Suddenly    drops of honey from a bee hive,

Started   dripping  in to his  mouth  and he enjoyed it

Strange  story  and you may think   that person very silly.

Let us read  the story  once more  with  real implications

One person entered  in to the forest called his life  ,

Sicknesses started chasing him,

He was scared and then his old  age  ,

Whom no body will like  embraced him

He some how  escaped  and started  running

He fell in to his  body   covered by illusion ,

He caught hold of  hope  and felt safe,

Then he saw  death    below  him,

He wanted   to escape   and   saw  upwards,

He  saw  the  passage of time with six seasons,

And twelve  months and then  he also  saw,

Some day and night  cutting away,

The hope  on which   he was  hanging

The honey   drops   falling   on him ,

Was from the other sex and it was passion,

And come what may he      enjoyed  it

Ammalu patti phoned to  Pichu mama

Mami asked  “Yennavakkum  cheyyaporel?  Velakkari  varamatta, Chamaya kari yum chamakka  vara  paangillai”

Mama said,”Appadi thaan ennavo chonaa.  Ennadi  cheyyarathu  , yenakku  chamakka  theriyaathe”

Mami  started crying “Aval dushtayaakunda .Oru mena minukki .Oru sadhanam avalaukkum  theiyaathu  .Aval  yena  cholli kudukka pora  onga appakku?

Mami started  crying more loudly,.”aval aarudaa  antha dushtai .Aval yeppadidaa  unga appakku  athellam kudukkalam”

Mami “Appadiya,Onga appatte , antha  mena minukkittenthu  padichukka chollou.PInne avale aathukkulle   kadatha  Paangillai”

  Pullai  then made arrangements for Appa to have a swiggy app and  he started  getting g every thing from  all hotels.

Next day Ammalu  mami again phoned  and asked  , “Antha swiggy chakkan yellam konda  tharanaa. Adutha masam naan porappadalaam nnu pullai choldraan’

Pichu mama told, “Inge sugamaa irukku  .Vaga vagaya   chaapdu kadkkirathu  .Nee ippo onnum angenthu varathe.”

Ammalu mami threw  the phone down

(Something similar   was written by a lady  in face book .I have reproduced it  in tamil  , without giving her name . 

Oh men , have you even won  in argument  , with women?

Selfishness , adamant nature, anger  , affection and hatered,

Aremuch more for  them and they  naturally  exhibit it,

And the greatest  weakness of a male, is their nature  of adjustment.

If a lady starts an argument, men consider it is  accidental,

It is not so, they keep   all happenings , deep in their mind,

And once she  gets angry  , she starts   the  argument,

And she will  keep reminding all that you told , which you would have forgotten

It is not argument  to solve a problem,which a man can easily face up,

But  it is the totality  of all problems , which  she will deal,

And before arguing she will know all the   weak points  of man,

And quoting  each  and everything, she   will smash the man

She  will  keep on arguing till man  feels  that , he has  commited,

A mistake, she will never accept man’s points  and shout at him,

As well as cry loudly , if he is right and she will make   him agree,

That   he may be wrong and allow  him to adjust  for her sake.

*நிஜமா...நிஜமா...
ஒரு பெண்ணுடனான
விவாதத்தில் என்றாவது
ஜெயித்திருக்கிறீர்களா ஆண்களே???

*பிடிவாதம், சுயநலம், கோபம், பாசம், வெறுப்பு , முன்யோசனை இதெல்லாம் ஆண்களை விட *பெண்ணுக்கு அதிகம்*. இயல்பாகவே இவற்றை பெண்கள்
அதிகம் வெளிப்படுத்துவார்கள் .

எவ்வளவு கோபக்கார ஆணுக்கும்
இருக்கும் மிகப்பெரிய ப்ளஸ் விட்டுக்கொடுக்கும் தன்மை, ஈசியா எடுத்துட்டு போயிடுவான். அதுவும் பிடித்த பெண்ணிற்கு *விட்டுக்கொடுப்பது* அவனுக்கு பிடித்த ஒன்னு.. மிகப்பெரிய சாம்ராஜ்யம்கூட பெண்களுக்காக சுக்குநூறாகியது...

ஒரு பெண்ணால் விவாதம் ஆரம்பிக்கிறதென்றால் ஆண்களை *பொறுத்தவரை* அது எதேச்சையான நிகழ்வு என்றுதான் நம்பிக் கொண்டிருக்கிறார்கள்.

ஆனால் அப்படியில்லை.. நீ செய்யும் ஒவ்வொன்றையும் மனதில் வைத்து கொண்டே இருப்பாள் பெண்.
என்றாவது ஒருநாள் கோபம் உச்சம் தொடும்போது விவாதத்தை ஆரம்பிப்பாள். *அன்றைக்கு* நீ என்ன என்ன திகதியில் என்ன பண்ணுணீர்கள் என நீ மறந்ததெல்லாம் உனக்கே ஞாபகப்படுத்துவாள். அதுதான் பெண்.

ஒரு பிரச்சனைக்கான விவாதமல்ல ,
ஒரு பிரச்சனையென்றால் ஆண் எளிதாக
சமாளித்து விடுவானென அவளுக்கு தெரியும். விவாதம் ஆரம்பிக்கும் முன்னே
மொத்த பிரச்சனையும் யோசித்து , என்ன
கேட்டா பய *திண்டாடுவானு* தெரிஞ்சு தான்
தொடங்குவாள்.

♥அப்போது தன்பக்க நியாயங்களை அடுக்கி கொண்டே போவாள்.. நம்மை நாமே
குற்றவாளியாக உணர வைக்கும் வரை
ஆணை அதிகம் பேச விடமாட்டாள்.
நம் பக்க நியாயங்களை காதிலே
வாங்க மாட்டாள் . நியாயப்படுத்த முயன்றால் மேலும் கோபம் கொள்வாள் .
எவ்வளவு சாமர்த்தியசாலியையும் நாம் தான்
*தவறென* உணர்த்தி ஜெயித்து விடுவாள்.

அவள் செய்வதே சரியென , அவளுக்கு அவளே நிரூபித்தாக வேண்டும். நான் தான் முன்னமே சொன்னேனே ஆணுக்கு
பெரிய ப்ளஸ் *விட்டுக்கொடுக்கும்* தன்மை"

No worry about  how to spend Sunday,

No worry about  coming of Monday

No desire to earn money

No  complaint   about expenditure

No desire to take   food in hotel

No joy  of going round the town

No desire  to buy  Gold and silver

No desire   for money

No worry   about  proper dressing

Have we reached   the gate  of heaven

Looks like  Kali age has come to an end

Worship, penance, reading of  Ramayana and Bhagawatha

No pollution

End of life of run and rush

Life  of plenty , every one gets food to eat

Socialism has come-No one has  any servant-They  do their work

No one   wears costly  cloth, no one  wears ornaments

All 24 hours  people   think of God

People   do great  charity

All pride  has gone and there is peace

Every one cooperates   with all

All children have  come back  from all other places

No one drinks/No rape/No stealing

The golden period  of earth has started

All because  of the  incarnation  of  “Maha Mari “

Hear other’s problem with kindness

Hear other’s problem  with kindness

P.R.Ramachander

There  was a rat in a house   and one   day,

It saw the owners  opening  a new parcel,

And it thought  , it was something which ,

It can eat, but it was   a rat   trap.

The rat  ran out  of  there  and met  a cock,

And told him  how he was scared   because,

The owners  had purchased a rat trap, and ,

The cock replied, “öh rat trap, I am not bothered.”

The rat then met  then .the Turkey  hen grown there,

And told the same thing   and it was also  not bothered,

And then it met the   goat  of the house   and complained,

And it laughed saying, “ So what , as far as  I am concerned|

The owners kept a fish bait  in the trap   and went to sleep,

Suddenly there was a sound and the owners   saw a snake,

In the trap  , which bit the lady of the house, who was  advised,

To drink Chicken soup  by  a doctor and so cock  was killed.

Some relations came   to esquire  about the lady’s health,

And they  cut the turkey and cooked   food    for them,

And by the grace of God the lady  was cured and  ,

They hosted a feast to their friends  and mutton was served.

 They kept the rat trap  on the attic and rat  escaped and so,

When some one comes   with a problem    to you  ,

At least  listen  with kindness  and ask how you can help them,

Because  that problem  hich is now to them, may come to us.

    Rama Mama and  Ammu Mami   were  husband    and wife .Both were extremely  Adamant   about everything. If Ammu Mami  prepared  Dosai for breakfast Raman Mama  Wanted only Idli , he threw that dosai  in to the trash can.  If Ammu mami   wanted a  Blue Sari  and Raman Mama    brought  a red one , she  used to burn it in front of him.

    One day  morning  both of them were   simply   sitting   in their  home doing nothing. The front door   of their home   was open.Raman Mama wanted   to give Mami   some work . So he said, “Ammu,  the front door is open, close it”

  Ammu Mami said  “Why should I?  If you want   you close it.”

Like this they went on shouting  for a lot of time.  Then Rama Mama told, “let us come to an agreement. From now on , if you speak first, you have  to close it  , and if I speak   first  , I will close  it.”

   Both of them agreed.It was breakfast  time.Ammu Mami  brought  dosai   and kept it on their Dining  table .  Raman mama did not eat it   and simply stared.”

     After  lot of time  Ammu mami ,  went some where.. At that time  the barber  of Raman Mama came  .He asked him several things and as Raman  Mama    did not reply  he asked  “Crop or Mottai?”

      Raman Mama   did not open his mouth  . That Barber made  Raman mama  Mottai  and asked for money. Raman Mama    did not open his mouth.,The Barber got angry.He took some vessels kept in the kitchen   and went away.

    At that time a street  dog entered  Raman Mama’s home.It ate   the dosa , searched  for food everywhere  , upturned  everything  , tried eating  the new sari of me  lying there and went away.Raman mama  did not speak at all  .

  After some more time, Ammu Mami   came  back and seeing Mama as Mottai   and kitchen and dininng table  and her torn sari , she shouted  “Yennaa  , Yenna ithellam”(What is all this? And started crying

   Raman mama  laughed loudly   and told  her, now close  the door 

Why cry? It is purely temporary.

Why cry?  It is purely  temporary.

One person   was  taking   bath in a river,

Suddenly he got  a floating  silk Sari,

He tied   it on his   head as a turban  ,

And another wave came  and took it away  from him

He got   to the shore   and started   crying ,

For having lost  that great  costly Sari,

She said   the Sari was hers  and she,

Taking  it as her fate   did  not cry at all

She asked him, “How come  you  who happen ,

To get it  accidentally  are   crying like this?

It is like   the life   that  you got  from God,

And this is also  purely   temporary.

Along with   this life, what did you  bring,,

You    earned  many things   as gift  of God,

And when you   go back  , none of   the gifts ,

Will come with you? For  it is purely temporay

And he asked  “Did you not see  the lamp I am carrying,”

And he replied “Sorry lamp has  been put out  “   and the blind one,

Laughed and said , “Nothing like  what you are  used to”

And started  walking with his  white cane making sound.

Sorry tale of a teacher

Sorry  tale of a teacher

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

Keeping  his hand  daily  on the black board,

He daily breathes  the   dust of Chalk,

Teaches, Teaches   and teaches,

And  with lung filled   with  chalk

He has   the constant pain    always  there.

When the teacher punishes  the student,

With a great sorrow , so  that the student  ,

Does not become useless, he  is punished   by the society

That society  which has  the  so called love  for the student

Because   the teachers    are  the ladder  of progress,

Most of the people  trod on them    and  they    cry  in great pain,

And to  them  who   get salary   which always keep them  poor,

Further  insults  and insults  are added so that  they  always  cry

For   shouting   and shouting  , so that  all students should hear ,

Inside  and outside  his class , to which  ,  no one bothers.

The society   shouts  at  him   as if he is a useless  animal

Just like  shouting  at   the artist  thinking  that  he is wounding the stone,

While  he  is  working  hard  to make  A god out of it.

He who goes to school in    the morning   as a teacher  ,

Returns home   in the evening    as parent of his child,

With pain in his mind  that  , he does  not have any  money,

To pay his child    the heavy   fees   in the college,

And he  spends   sleepless  night  tossing in his bed .

One side  pressure    for progress of his  own students,

Another side  the students     who refuse  to cooperate,

And in the middle  and the crushed   teacher, gets lots,

Of bad name   that he spoils   future  of children

They will say  today they    do social service,

Tomorrow   they will  sacrifice  them    for  no reason at all,

Today they will call them  architect of future and tomorrow   the enemy of progress,

Whether  they will live or die   , they will  die as a  teacher,

They will be gods of knowledge  who do their job ,

With  sincerity  , honesty  and of course  poverty

Penance vs discussion about God

  

Penance  vs  discussion about God

By

P.R.Ramachander

(I  read it in   Tamil   and  was attracted and put it in my words)

Sage Vasishta   visited  sage  Viswamithra,

After  a good feast  ,  the sage Visamithra,

Gave a  parting   gift  to  his friend  Vasishta,

The effect of three   years  great penance  he did

Then Sage   viswamithra   went to home  of Sage vasishta,

They went  on talking about, god, Vedas   and sasthras,

And then they both had  a  very frugal  meals and,

Sage Vasishta gave the other sage the effect  of their talk  for few hours

Sage viswamithra    got   extremely    angry    and shouted,

“Is this nonsense  a parting gift compared   to what  I gave”

And then sage  Vasishta   told him, “  I think yes” and

Sage viswamithra    took sage  to lord Brahma  for a judgement.

Lord Brahma   was confused  and took them to lOrd Shiva,

Who too was confused   and sent them to  Lord Vishnu,

Who told them”The best  thing for   you to do ,

Is to consult   Adhi sesha   who is lifting the earth

They both went and adhi sesha   said  he needs  ,

Some time to think and ask  both of them  ,

To lift  the earth for some time   and the proud ,

Viswamithra   , said   that it   was extremely  easy

Then Sage viswamithra said, “Let my penance  done,

For three  years  lift the earth and  nothing at  all happened,

Sage vasistha then asked the one hour  of discussion  ,

He had   with viswamithra to lift the earth and the earth,

Went far   away  fro head  of ADhi sesha   and he told  them,

“Your  answer”, the penance  is a selfish act   by a sage,

And discussion was done so that the knowledge  ,

Of both   of them   would increase  and improve,

And did  not have  a tinge  of selfishness  “
