[www.keralites.net] SKANDA SASTI VRATAM FROM 31-10-2016 to 05-11-2016 [1 Attachment]

 Subject: [www.keralites.net] SKANDA SASTI VRATAM FROM 31-10-2016 to 05-11-2016
  
DEAR ALL, 

SKANDA SASTI VRATAM FROM 31-10-2016 to 05-11-2016 

Skanda Sasti Vratam starts on 31-10-2016 and end on 05-11-2016. When it comes to Kanda Shasti fasting, some devotees only take a single meal a day. Some take the meal at noon and others at night. Some devotees confine to fruits and juices during the 6-day period. There are several Skanda devotees who see the Vratam as an opportunity to clean the body and get rid of unwanted toxic elements. Such devotees confine to water, coconut water and other fruit juices. 

The fasting ends on the Sixth day. Strictly speaking as per the Skanda Puranam it says not to have any foods for 6 days , but you can drink water only. But in present Situation it may not possible for those whom are working . So you can get the pardon from Lord Murugan and have one meal.
 
It must be noted that 'Vrat' or 'Vratam' in Sanskrit means 'vow.' Vratam should not be misunderstood as mere fasting. By observing a Vratam a person is trying to purify his mind through meditation, worship and by sticking to some 'vow' that he/she has taken. Now, this vow can include fasting, not telling lies, not getting anger etc. A vratam should be seen as a deliberate attempt on your part to bring back discipline into your life. During the fasting time you should not consume any foods or liquids items out side due to purity of the fasting. 

We should observe with an extreme devotion for Lord Murugan for 6 days and should not do any acts which may cause any problems to your fasting . When you observe with devotion there won't be any single problems for the fasting and it will be blessed by Lord Murugan. Even for females Lord Murugan will make sure no natural causes will put their fasting to be en end. Nothing will happen during the fasting days. That is the miracle of this fasting . 
You should recite Skanda Sasti kavasam in the morning , afternoon and in the evening . You should recite kavasam when you are having a meal or water. It's a practice to get pardon from Lord Murugan.

[www.keralites.net] REMEMBERING THE IRON MAN OF INDIA ON HIS BIRTH ANNIVERSARY

DEAR ALL,

REMEMBERING THE IRON MAN OF INDIA ON HIS BIRTH ANNIVERSARY SARDAR VALLABHBHAI PATELJI

The birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel on October 31 as "Rashtriya Ekta Diwas' (National Unity Day) every year. The day will be marked by administration of a pledge to all government employees as well as school and college students, to maintain the unity and integrity of the country. Sardar Patel, an independence leader who played a crucial role in uniting India's fractious states. He was an Indian Barrister and statesman, one of the leaders of the Indian National congress and one of the founding fathers of the Republic India.

Sardar Patel was a man of principles. A fierce nationalist, he never believed in compromising with his core philosophy of 'nation first'. Basically it was his success in integrating around 565 princely states after independence that got him the sobriquet of 'Iron Man'.He always used to say that his only dream and desire is that India should be a good producer and no one should be hungry shedding tears for the food in the country.

Mahatma gandhi gave the title sardar to patel ji. sardar means commander. Patel ji was a good leader who had great leadership qualities and had excellent qualities of leading/guiding people during the feedom struggle. mahatma gandhi ji used to call him sardar.

Re: [www.keralites.net] Why Do Some Roads Have White Markings While Others Have Yellow Ones?

I once asked a taxi driver of about 25 years standing, the significance of yellow line, when he was crossing it, he said that when the painters ran short of white paint, they used yellow paint.

Why Do Some Roads Have White Markings While Others Have Yellow Ones?

In India, a lot of us never bother to care about the traffic rules because who gives a damn about road safety. For most of us, traffic rules begin and end at memorizing what those red, yellow and green lights are for. Road safety is a major concern in India. So let's just try and keep ourselves informed about the little things that might make our drive safe and smooth.

While driving, we all have noticed those white and yellow lines on road. Sometimes they are solid lines and sometimes they are broken. Did you know that these lines are also a part of road signs? Here's what these lines mean -

Solid white line

Solid white lines indicates that you must not change lanes and should stay in the lane you are already on.

Broken white line

Broken white lines indicate that you are allowed to change lane, but with caution. So you may change lane, if it is safe to do so.

One solid yellow line

Passing or overtaking other vehicles is allowed, but you cannot cross the yellow line. However, this rule may vary from state to state. For example, in Telangana, a solid yellow line is intended for establishing no overtaking.

Double solid yellow lines

Passing is not allowed over double solid yellow lines.

For SC Has Just Made It Easier For Indians To Help Accident Victims. Here's How, click here.

Broken Yellow Line

Passing is allowed over broken yellow line, but with caution.

Solid yellow line with broken yellow line

If you are driving on the side of the broken line, you're allowed to overtake, and if you're driving on the side of the solid line, you're not.

There. Now you know what these lines are for. The next time you're on the road, try looking for people who follow these rules. Well, if there are any.

[www.keralites.net] Simple Ideas On How To Spend A Fun-Filled Date Night At Home!

Simple Ideas On How To Spend A Fun-Filled Date Night At Home!

Delicious but super-expensive dinners and loud, noisy pubs - not really the ideal date night, is it? But it doesn't have to be that way. Why not spend date night within the comfort of your own home? If you're short on ideas, you've come to the right place. 1. Game night Get to know each other by battling each other to victory. Spend time playing Scrabble and test your partner's intellectual capabilities. If you have too much time on your hands, try playing Monopoly. And if both of you are into video games, what better than a night in with the XBox or the PS4, and some chips and coke? 2. Cooking date Cooking to impress is so last season. How about cooking with someone to impress? Cooking is a therapeutic exercise for many, people are at their calmest and while cooking, you get to discuss and get to know the other person too. Not to forget those little elbow brushes, and soft touches that make cooking way more interesting. After all, couples who cook together, stay together. 3. Movie and wine night If both of you are movie buffs and love movie marathons, a night of just that is great fun. What's more, you could have genre-based movie nights – ROM com nights, thriller nights, horror movie nights and so on. Pair movies with some good wine, relax on your partner's shoulders and enjoy. 4. Tutoring date Well, this is ideally for those who love to ask their partners' opinion on professional/student life. Because, sometimes, our partners are our best mentors. And not every date needs to be romantic. Some nights can be to just make Presentations together, or plan which college to apply to. 5. Rainy day indoor chai date When it rains, it's chaos on the streets. And in that stressful time, one of the most romantic things to do could be to have a cup of chai in your hand, stand in the balcony and enjoy the mesmerising rain and your partner's company. 6. Candlelit dinner date This might sound clichéd but going out for a candlelit dinner and having one at home are different experiences. At home, you can choose which candles, which flowers, or what cuisine you want. The combinations are endless - what you need to do is create a romantic flare enough to last the night. 7. Camping night This has to be the cutest idea ever. Camping doesn't have to be in an open forest under the pine trees. You could camp in your living room. Clear everything, set up a tent, two sleeping bags, a torchlight and camp in. This is great fun to do and makes for a very cosy setting! 8. Theme night When things get boring and monotonous, spice up your date night with themes. The themes could be anything - say for example, it's Bollywood night. Both of you could dress up as your favourite stars. Or if it's Italian theme night, you could have pastas, pizzas and gelatos on the menu. Different themes would entail different setups and the process of planning and executing these could be great fun. A different world for just the two of you. 9. DIY photoshoot This is for couples who love to get clicked and love selfies even more. Have different settings, different dresses, create different frames, try different poses, be candid, experiment - and take pictures. Make memories enough to paint a wall with just your pictures. 10. Kids night All our youth, we wanted to grow up. But now that we've grown up and grown fed up, we can't wait to go back. You and your partner could just spend a night in behaving like kids. It's a great way to bond and experience something together. 11. Dance night Dress up in gowns and tuxedos if you like, or wear whatever is comfortable. Put on some soothing songs, lock your eyes with your partner and dance the night away. This is a beautiful way to bond and the physical contact only makes it better. 12. Quizzing night You could have quizzes to test each other, and have a reward system to make it more interesting. Quiz each other on how well you know each other and enjoy the playful fights that follow when both of you screw up. 13. Productive night Some dates could even be productive. Road trips and vacations are the times you spend long duration with your partner and assess if you are actually ready for the long run. But planning a trip is the toughest part! Take a night out to sit down and put your heads together over a discussion and make planning easier. 14. Sports night Put on a game on TV you both enjoy, heat some popcorn, wear your favourite jerseys and get comfortable. It's even more fun when you guys support different teams. 15. Massage night This is the best way to relax and get rid of all the stress you have accumulated. You could take turns and give head massages, foot massages or back massages. Buy some nice scented massage oil, set the mood with some music and relax. 16. Painting night This is going to be messy. Be sure to have loads of newspapers on the floors and put on some old clothes before indulging in a painting night. You could paint t shirts and mugs; and gift them to friends. 17. Book nights This is essentially for couples who love to read. You can make a book club for two. Decide on a book to read; give each other a deadline and then fix a night to review and discuss. Just be careful to stay on the same page, or different view points on a book could lead to a long night of arguments. 18. Cocktail night Instead of drinking beer, whisky, or rum, spice things up with some mean cocktails. Search for recipes on the net and get to business. Try making mojitos, shandies, LIIT, whiskey sour, or Bloody Marys. You can even create your own cocktails. Get drunk and have a good time. 19. Stargazing night You and your partner could get a telescope or just put chairs out in the balcony, look up and chat. There are apps that tell you precisely which star is which, so you can have a fun night finding the planets. 20. Hobby night Often we are so caught up in our daily routines that some of our passions go unattended. Why not grab your partner and learn a hobby together? You have YouTube and online guides – that's enough to learn a new language, a new instrument, new yoga poses or even exercise routines. Having a partner will ensure that you keep each other motivated and learn together. 21. Writing night Not everyone is a writer, and not everyone likes to write. But written messages are endearing and we can store the notes forever and look at them when we remember or miss the other person the most. Spend a night writing to each other. Writing strengthens bonds and sometimes we express better when we write. Writing nights are special, and the notes will be treasures for a lifetime.
