Silence Please..............Mounam Sarvathra Saadhanam!!!!

I hereby apologize to all people I have interacted with, if any time my words were offending,irritating etc etc etc and all rest. Surely it would be un-intentional and I never meant it!! EOM!

Speech which does not humiliate and thereby hurt the listener is true and pleasant and beneficial; is really the product of penance involving the entire neurophysiological and neuromuscular processes of speech and articulation respectively.

Inappropriate [too short, too long, too harsh, stupid, meaningless, too enticing] talk is a cause of all LOSSES, slavery, imprisonment or other type of losses.

Nightingales and parrots are trapped because of the fault of their own mouths.
However, storks are not caught. Silence is indeed the instrument that
achieves all ends.


I shut up now!!

Good for telephone bills tooo :-P

But if you dont speak up at the right time you are in loss too...
