Any news about Maria?

More importantly, who here ticked her off by not replying appropriately? Let's fix those people first, Seva.

Didn't think of that Vidya. Thanks for reminding about that, the ticking off part. But I don't think she is not posting for that reason. There must be something else .. perhaps busy with other things.

Someone ticked her off? I saw Grandpa JM writing something while he was under the influence.

maria is busy spreading the message that people who make donations to their alma maters are generous, and that some people donate more than others.

She is right on both points.

it's interesting that muezzin-bar'chu has deleted his post, partly in tiny text, commenting on seva's assertion here.

by Petrichor Wed May 08, 2013 3:50 pm

I realized, may be, just may be, I was a tad quick to comment on Seva L's brain size with just one datapoint. I don't follow Sevaji's logic or threads too much since my brain glazes over, but just found it funny that he missed the 'obvious'. There is a category of such plain-spoken, take-it-at-facevalue folks and those of us from Thanjavur delta immediately look down upon, and I am trying hard to beat that typical stereotyping.

by Guest Wed May 08, 2013 4:16 pm

Hey if you look down on something say it seena taan ke (boldly). Why worry about stereotype. Looks like you making an excuse of it as in hiding behind it. Not everything can be blamed on genes, culture and caste Smile

by Nila Wed May 08, 2013 4:22 pm

She could be buzy.

by Petrichor Wed May 08, 2013 4:24 pm

I think it is important to catch yourself in the act and try to change...you don't think so?

So, in your understanding,

1. what did JM say and mean?
2. What did Seva L say and mean?
3. What was the deleted comment?
4. Is this a 'teachable' moment here that should drag on?

Those delta people still carry that attitude of Raja Raja Chola heritage; pliss to learn from our Vijayanagara heritage and care less about others looking at them.

mbchu posted something that, according to him, only the people he looks down on would. he then deleted the post. now he's using that info to spread the word that there are people he looks down on, that he is not one of them, although he was for a little while.

I don't know any of the above. I didn't read your deleted comment either. I r'bered the 'snob', 'genius', 'your posts going way over our heads', etc comments made by me in chat and may be in the forum in jest. Throwing that here one more time Razz

No worries, kinsey! I was just curious how many people actually saw my deleted comment when it lived here briefly.

i saw it and had a strong hunch that you would delete it and had an equally strong temptation to enclose it in quotes and reply to it so we could preserve both the comment and your future regret. but then my better nature took over and i ultimately decided to desist.

That is indeed not very scientific.

You should at least have 2 data points to draw a curve...and infer any information.

I wondered this morning..where can I go online to be around some rare..elite brilliance and big brains? If a simple, plain-spoken person wants high-class scrutiny and every word/sentence to be overanalyzed and misanalyzed (oops)..and there is no shortage of deconstructing, correcting, fixing..and abundance of joy related to it!..
...Well "Obviously"- Hello everyone!

Dear Seva,

Seriously, I appreciate you and others very much- who do notice my absence, and think about me. Am okay, juggling/dealing with my share of challenges at this time, and will visit infrequently. And if there is anything important, do feel free to write/contact me.

Until next time..You'all take good care too!

by Seva Lamberdar Thu May 09, 2013 9:27 am

Dear Maria.

Nice to see your post. We were just wondering about your absence and thinking that you probably might be busy. Anyway take care.

Seva

by Maria S Thu May 09, 2013 9:36 am

Sure Seva,

That's very kind of you all, and I do wonder about others in any site who post on a regular basis, and we know care about us..and we don't see them even for a few days.
Feels good to see them again and know they are okay.

usually they're found between "letters to the editor" and the editorial section of the hindu. they hand out such brains with a side of superciliousness and a pass for second birth after you call the secret number and give the right supersecret code.

our very talented and gifted field agent has taken guerrilla warfare to the next level and we, at the headquarters, refer to his remarkable tactics as kuruvilla warfare. he is always there, crouching nearby, sharpening his weapons, eager to pounce on the unsuspecting, gullible errorists.

Oh, thank you GC! Your timing with a few words of encouragement is perfect:)

I'll take all the genuine wishes, blessings from anyone, anywhere!

Speaking of blessings, I thought about your Mom when I read your post..have not met you all..but, from what I have seen and read..can see that she is a special lady and you are a good son too:) It may be also because..I was thinking about my mother a lot today (spoke to her this morning)..and mothers from that generation!
With pre-Mother's Day tributes pouring in..poignant, grateful and of course..very sweet..

Happy Mother's Day in advance to your Mom and ALL the Moms here:flower:!

by Maria S Fri May 10, 2013 3:21 pm

Thank you ma, I:) Wish you the same!

Of all the "must celebrate"- designated days for celebration..I would cut a lot of slack for Mother's day.

I like it, and it's good to see mothers being appreciated at least once a year. In a perfect world with perfect moms and children..it should be perhaps more often..With so many estranged famiies..tangled up in family disputes-wars, older mothers being neglected and ill..not to mention those who are grieving the loss of mothers and feel the void, it's especially good to see older mothers, being cared for in a good way.

you take care..younger moms can use a lot of support and appreciation too!

anbudan,
