Happy International Women's Day
பெண் மெழுகு அல்ல...
கரைந்து காணாமல் போவதற்கு.
பெண், தேய்ந்தாலும் மறுபடியும் வளர்ந்து,
வானில் பிரகாசிக்கும் வெள்ளி நிலா!
பெண்ணே, உன்னை வணங்குகின்றோம்!!
இனிய சர்வதேச பெண்கள் தின நல்வாழ்த்துக்கள்!!!

Story of Vowels
A E I O U
Parenting is an art and we have to be creative to teach our young children. If we teach in the form of a story or a rhyme, they will not forget what they learn.
Parents can tell this short story to their children to remember the vowels. They can also sing the Vowels song to their kids.
In Newman town, there was a calm and curvy river bank, in which lived an Alligator and his friend the baby Elephant.
They liked to play together in the river. The alligator liked to swim and catch Iguana for lunch.
But the elephant liked to eat Oranges for lunch.
One cloudy afternoon, right after they finished their lunch, it started to rain. So they hurried to the Umbrella tree on the river bank.
Alligator and Elephant were best friends
Alligator ate Iguanas
Elephant ate Oranges
On a rainy day
They had a holiday...... under the Umbrella!!
Thank you for reading! If you like my story, please don't forget to comment below.

கோப்பைகள் பல விதம்
வாசகர்களே, இன்று கோப்பைகளை பற்றி எனது எண்ணங்களை பதிவு செய்ய ஆசைப்படுகிறேன்.
கோப்பை என்னும் வார்த்தை portugese மொழிக்கு சொந்தமான "copo" விலிருந்து உருவானதாகும். "Copo" என்றால் கிளாஸ் / டம்ளர் என்று அர்த்தம். மக்கள் மரபுமொழியிலும் நாட்டுமரவுமொழியிலும் இந்த வார்த்தை பயன்படுத்தப் படுகிறது.
உடலின் புத்துணர்ச்சிக்கு ஒரு கோப்பை தேநீர் பருகுவதைப் போல, உள்ளத்தின் புத்துணர்ச்சிக்கு ஒரு கோப்பை தன்னம்பிக்கையைப் பருகுங்கள்!
எந்தத் துறையைச் சேர்ந்த போட்டியாளராக இருந்தாலும், தன்னம்பிக்கை அளிப்பது, வெற்றி பெறவிருக்கும் அந்தத் தங்கக் கோப்பை!
மின்மினிப் பூச்சிகளை துரத்திப் பிடித்து ஒரு கோப்பையில் மூடி வைத்து அதன் அழகை ரசிப்பது ஒரு சுகமான அனுபவம்!
அடுக்களையோ அடுமனையோ, அங்கு கோப்பை அவசியம் தேவை. முக்கியமாக அடுமனையில், கோப்பையில் அளந்து சமைத்தால்தான் பதமாகவும், சுவையாகவும் இருக்கும்!
வாயினைச் சுற்றி கைகளை கோப்பை வடிவில் வைத்து பள்ளத்தாக்குகளில் நின்று உரக்கக் கத்தினால், நமது குரல் எதிரொலிக்கும். அது ஒரு சுகமான அனுபவம்!
சுருக்கமாகக் கூறினால் ,
"கோப்பை = புத்துணர்ச்சி = தன்னம்பிக்கை = வெற்றி = அழகு = சுவை = சுகம்"...
இன்னும் ஏதாவது இருக்கிறதா?

Meaning
The lasses(young women) have reached,
The place of prayer for Pavai,
Singing the fame of our Lord.
Who killed the ogre who came like a stork.
And who cut off the heads of the bad ogre, One by one.
The nevus (a mark in the form of a raised red patch) has risen in the morn,
The Jupiter has vanished from the sky,
The birds are making lot of sound,
Of beautiful one with wide eyes red as a flower.
Without taking bath by dipping
again and again in ice cold water,
Would you prefer to sleep.
Oh lass, On this holy day,
Do not stay aside, And come to bathe with us.

Having with him the scented garland,
Made of holy basil,
He would give us gifts, many,
He is the same who is holy in times ancient,
Sent Kumbhakarna to his death,
After beating him in the field of war.
Did that ogre give you his sleep,
Before he went off from here,
Oh lass who is very lazy,
Oh lass, who is like pretty jewels,
Wake up from your sleep, well,
And open the door.

When your flock of friends,
Have come to your courtyard, And sing of Krishna,

How can you neither move nor talk, And lie in deep trance,

Is your daughter dumb or deaf, Or down right lazy,
Or she is in trance of deep pleasurable sleep,

By several of His names,
And get benefited,

The twittering sound of black birds of the morn,
Which sounds like a talk between them,
Did you not hear the tingling sound,
When the big and small coin like pendants,
Rub against each other,
Did you not hear the sound of vigorous pull,
Of the curd churner being pulled,
By the flower bedecked cow herdesses,
Did you not hear the sound of twirling curd,
When churned using the mixer,
Oh, leader among girls, How can you sleep,
When they sing the names sweetly.
Of Narayana and Kesava,
Oh, She who is sparkling,
Be pleased to open the door,

Turtle and the Rabbit - Teamwork Pays off
On a beautiful Spring Day,
All the animals of the woods had a fun day.
Turtle constructs a bridge on a stream
Rabbit tries to destruct turtle's dream
And Oh no! it falls into the stream!!
Kind turtle rescues rabbit out of the stream,
Carries rabbit on his shell to the shore.
Friendly birds bring a blanket for the shivering rabbit.
Turtle back on his work of building log bridge,
Rabbit helps his new turtle friend
And keeps the final rock in place.
Rabbit and Turtle finish the bridge with teamwork
Invite all the animal friends to show their teamwork.
All the friends and family of beavers,
And birds and grasshoppers,
All cross the stream by using the bridge,
And this is how teamwork paid off.
The Cunning Jackal and the Cow friends
In the grasslands of Munnar, there were 4 cows Sparkle, Pear, Spotty and Browny, who grazed together. Each one of them were different in their own way . Sparkle had sparkling eyes, Pear had a pear shaped black spot on her forehead, Spotty was white with black spots on her body, and Browny was brown in colour.
Though everybody was different in their own way, they never made fun of each other or fought with each other. There was a cunning jackal named Jacky, who lived in the hills of Kurinji, saw these cows grazing and playing everyday. It wanted have these cows for a delicious meal. So, on a sunny day, it tried attacking on Sparkle. But Pear, Spotty and Browny ran to the rescue of Sparkle and chased Jacky out of the grassland. Sparkle was safe because all of them were friends and they helped each other when the need arouse.
Now, Jacky thought of a plan to attack the cows. Meanwhile , the cows planned for a party to celebrate their friendship. So, they shared the arrangement work among themselves. Sparkle went in search of flowers to decorate their cowshed . Pear went in search of straw. Spotty went to bring some fresh grass to eat and Browny went in search of hay.
Jacky saw the cows going in each direction, so, it first followed Sparkle and said, "do you know that Pear is going to trim her tail, without telling others ? How mean of her , she wants to look very pretty." Now, Sparkle became angry on Pear.
Next, Jacky went to Pear and told that Sparkle is bathing in the river without telling anyone , so that she wants to look "sparkly". Pear got angry on Sparkle.
Now, Jacky went to Browny and told that Spotty is going to eat the best and fresh grass she finds first and only then she will bring the leftover grass for everyone else. So, Browny was angry with Spotty.
Now finally, Jacky went to Spotty and told that Browny is playing in the hills of hay without telling anyone. Now, Spotty became angry with Browny.
Sparkle, Pear, Spotty and Browny ran to the grassland, where the party was going to be held. Once they saw each other they started fighting and went angrily in each direction. Jacky was successful in separating the cows. Now, Jacky had one of the cows for a delicious meal every day.
Moral of the story -
When the cows were friends, nobody could attack them. Once they were separated, the cunning jackal ate them all. The moral of the story is "Unity is Strength ".

Parenting Tips
Hello Parents!
Here are some more parenting tips for you...
You should encourage kids to clean up and tidy their room. Oh yes, I can listen to all your mind voices !!! Yes, I too agree that no kid will clean up the mess they created.
But , you can have a gift jar / bowl in which you can put some pencils, funny looking erasers, giant pens/ pencils, mechanical led pencils, magic erasers, etc.
You have to tell the kids that , if they keep their room clean for a week, at the end of the week, they get to choose one gift from the jar.
Follow this for a few weeks, then you will see that they will start building the habbit of cleaning their room.
Or if you don't like this , you can also give them some money for their piggy bank. And once they save some , take them to the store and allow them to buy a small toy or something they like. They will be very happy .
Try these for disciplining them and then you 'll see the difference!
Please write your valuable comments !

The Brinjal Boy

In his brinjal basket, there was a brinjal boy, which he himself did't know.
One sunny morning, a man named Mr. Jumbo came to the market and
bought brinjals from Mr.Kiku. The brinjal boy also jumped into Mr.Jumbo's basket.
When Mr.Jumbo went home and emptied the basket, the brinjal boy rolled out and screamed. Mr. and Mrs.Jumbo were surprised to see a brinjal screaming ,walking and rolling....................
The brinjal boy cried, "please......... let me stay here.......
If you send me back to the vendor, somebody else will buy me and cook me". So, they decided to keep the brinjal boy in their house. Now, the brinjal boy rolled again and was happy.
Mrs.Jumbo decided to give the brinjal boy a leaf dress. He trimmed the dress in a stylish manner that he looked a little different.
The next morning , Mr. Jumbo and his wife, took the brinjal boy in a bullock cart to the nearby town. On the way, when the cart bumped over a stone, the brinjal boy fell down from the pocket, but nobody noticed it.
Then suddenly, the cart's wheel got loose and it tumbled over. When they fell on the road, they saw the brinjal boy screaming and rolling down.
Then Mr. Jumbo ran and caught the brinjal boy and now, he put him safely in his pocket.
They all reached the town, finished the work and returned home .
After that, Mr.Jumbo was very careful with the brinjal boy. He left him along with his wife at home to be safe. They all lived happily ever after.

Parenting Tips
How can a lovely relationship between parents and their kids bloom
with full happiness ?
These tips would be very helpful to parents as well as kids
Parents,
If the kids do not listen to you the second time you ask them to
do / follow something, then it means, they do not want to listen to you.
They heard you the first time and the second time, but they do not
want to do what you want them to.
If the kids yell back at you, tell them calmly that you will listen to
them only if they stop yelling and speak calmly.
These are a few things every kid should incorporate within themselves
Early to Bed early to rise
Eat atleast one serving of fruit and vegetable everyday
Do not talk back to elders
Read books for atleast 20 minutes a day
Listen to Parents - they always think for your goodness
That is all for now, but I will come back with some tips !
