Nice Day M G Warrier A Messages 1) Dr T V Surendran Mananthavady a) Reasonable to respect unreasonable people 👌 May I respect reasonable Valsala Jayaraman whose articles are often interesting reading. b) I feel your RBI Medical officer should have cleared you, by exemption from the minimum physical standards. After all, this was not an admission to Army or Police. He thought your physical strength is more important in dealing with the WorkLOAD. (That's a long story. I have shared different versions with my contacts earlier. Will tell you when both of us are free) 2) R Jayakumar Mumbai Read with interest a) the narrations of personal experiences with the Bank (M G Warrier) and b) the life story of a judicial clerk and his sad parting from life (Write-up shared by V R Chittanandam).

In Leaves of Grass (1855, 1891-2), he celebrated democracy, nature, love, and friendship. This monumental work chanted praises to the body as well as to the soul, and found beauty and reassurance even in death. Along with Emily Dickinson, Whitman is regarded as one of America’s most significant 19th-century poets and would influence later many poets, including Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, Allen Ginsberg, Simon Ortiz, C K Williams and Martin Espada. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45477/song-of-myself-1892-version D Sunday Collage : V T Panchapagesan Chennai SUNDAY COLLAGE One conspicuous question in today's mundane world is this : "How can I develop Personality?" Different people view this in different ways... Ursula Bloom's advice is noteworthy to young people : "Please do not do as I did, at your age, and waste years. Copying other people.. Socrates : Know yourself! That was excellent advice, but it did not satisfy, because it did not go far enough. Marcus Aurelius : Be yourself! Psychologist in atomic age : Develop yourself! As a nonagenarian living in my solitude, having seen life, is : Be FIRM with a SMILE realizing what LIFE means to us : Monitor 13 alphabets in daily life. FIRM IS : "FOOD INTAKE, INTROSPECTION, RESPECT MONEY" SMILE IS : "SELFLESS MOVEMENT IMPROVING LIFE EVERYWHERE" LIFE IS : "LOVE INSPIRES FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT" Panchatantra ..... A merely striking beauty is not so hard to find; A rare gem is WISDOM : Far-reaching power of Mind.

The D’joks are all on him. - The Aussies have banged the door shut right in front of his face. They call it a Grand Slam! - With Twenty won, he could have made it Twenty-One, but he will now have to kiss this chance goodbye. Clearly, a Grand slam. - By trying to preserve the (Mel)Bourne Identity and the (Mel)Bourne Supremacy, the Victorians have given him the (Mel)Bourne Ultimatum. - The Aussies allege that “A Serb has turned acerb”. “He has created a Balkanic eruption of sorts”. - One needs lots of guts to create a racket and, when tension is increased, it becomes high strung. - A flurry of exchanges, are going on between the Balkan and Australian governments – it is called “Serb and volley”. - The Serbians allege that there is no match for Djokovic since there is no match for Djokovic. Either way, he is matchless. - No one expected ‘the one seed’ to ‘exceed’ and become a Tennis, the Menace. Someone overheard Djok saying “O my crown. Lost because of Omicron”. - And because he can't go to court, he has decided to go to court. He would accuse them of ‘vic’ hunting. - For Novak, the Australian Open has become Australian Close, whereas for me, it is Australian O'pun. *Received from A P Ramadurai Cheñnai (You needn't struggle to understand a joke, to smile.
