Marriage: Love and Affection

A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake of the festivities and celebrations. A wonderful time was had by all.

The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true. A few months later, the wife comes to the husband with a proposal: "I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage." she offered. "Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together."

The husband agreed, so each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with.

The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists. "I'll start," offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it enough to fill 3 pages, in fact. As she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husbands eyes. "What's wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing" the husband replied, "keep reading your lists." The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over top of it.

"Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists." She said happily.

Quietly the husband stated, "I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you."

The wife, touched by the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept .

படித்ததில் பிடித்தது - தந்தைக்கும் மகனுக்குமான உறவு - வைரமுத்து

தந்தைக்கும் மகனுக்குமான உறவு தமிழ்ச் சமூகத்தில் எப்போதும் ஒரு பெரும் பிரச்சினையாகவே திகழ்கிறது.

” நீ எங்கே பறந்தாலும் நூல் என் கையில் இருக்கட்டுமே “ என்று தகப்பன் நினைக்கிறான்.

” என்னை விட்டுவிட்டால் இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் உயரப் பறப்பேனே ” என்று மகன் தவிக்கிறான்

விதைத்தவன் நான்தானே என்ற தினவு தந்தைக்கும் விளைந்தவன் நான்தானே என்ற திமிர் மகனுக்கும் எல்லாத் தலைமுறைகளிலும் இருந்தே வருகிறது.

குடும்பம் – அரசியல் – தொழில் என்று எல்லா நிலைகளிலும் இதுவே நீள்கிறது.

இதனால் என் தந்தையும் நானும் சந்தித்த பிரச்சினைகள் அதிகம். பல ஆண்டுகள் இருவரும் பேச்சுவார்த்தை இல்லாமலே இருந்திருக்கிறோம். அவருக்கு நன்மைகளைத் தவிர வேறெதுவும் நான் செய்ததில்லை ; ஆனால் அவரோ வைராக்கியத்தில் என்னை வதைத்திருக்கிறார். இப்போது மரணம் என் கன்னத்தில் அறைந்து சொல்கிறது :

” வைரமுத்து ! உன் தந்தை இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் ஈரமுள்ளவராய் இருந்திருக்கலாம். நீ இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் இரக்கமுள்ளவனாய் இருந்திருக்கலாம்.”

நாங்கள் திருந்துவதற்குரிய வாய்ப்பைக் காலம் பறித்துவிட்டது.

இருக்கும் தலைமுறையாவது…
