Snippets of Wisdom; Snippets of Fun: An N-Blog of and for Residents of Hiland Park, Mysuru, India

The blog started as a Notice Board Blog and hence we call it N-Blog.

N-Blog is for the benefit of the residents and visitors to Hiland Park, Mysuru, India. The Idea is to spruce up the lives of senior residents — the once-upon-a-time jolly chaps of the Apartment block, and the younger generation of the building with interesting bits and bytes of wisdom and fun. Nothing here needs to be taken seriously except those that you think worthwhile taking seriously.Some posts are original; some are from public domain.

Posts by residents are welcome, but must first be submitted to the Moderator (jharavu@gmail.com) before they become part of the Blog.

Here goes the first post and then …..  more will follow. The authors of the various posts are given below the post. Visitors to the blog please feel free to make comments, but please make them nice. Cheers.


 

Unwanted gifts

When hurtful words at you, are hurled

Or sarcasm’s shafts at you, tossed

Why exchange these for Peace?

That within ever pervades,

That within, more precious,

Than all gifts, only you as giver can give.

Leave the gift of dreadful words,

To the giver,

He knows not what he does.

L J Haravu, #207


Limericks

There was a young Lady from Niger,

Who rode with a smile on a Tiger,

They returned from the ride,

With the Lady inside,

And, the smile on the face of the Tiger.

There was a young man from Ealing,

Endowed with such delicate feeling,

That when he read on the door:

‘Do not spit on the floor’,

He jumped and spat on the Ceiling.
