Alaipayuthe Kanna

https://youtu.be/2OTM3yXVvk8

Devotional song to Lord Krishna by a female devotee.

It  is composed of many ‘ragas’ and is called a ‘raga-maaliga’ composition.

One of the evergreens in South Indian Carnatic music.

I have put the web-links for four vocals and four instrumentals of this song.

Hope you enjoy listening to each of them.

Repetitiveness of each stanza with subtle variations is the hall mark of Carnatic music as you can see n these performances.

How to get to Heaven from Ireland

 email from JKS Weerasekera

A true Story from an Irish Sunday School Teacher

I was testing children in my Dublin Sunday  school class to see if
they understood the concept of getting to heaven.  I asked them, "If I
sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money
to the church, would that get me into heaven?"

"NO!" the children answered.

"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the garden, and kept
everything tidy, would that get me into heaven?"  Again, the answer
was NO!

"If I gave sweets to all the children, and loved my husband, would
that get me into heaven?"  Again, they all answered NO!

I was just bursting with pride for them. I continued, "Then how can I
get into heaven?"

A little boy shouted out, "YUV GOTTA BE FOOKN' DEAD."

It's a curious race, the Irish.  Brings a tear to the eye, doesn't it?

The Chinese girl

*I met a Chinese girl when I was in Shanghai, I asked her if she could

escort me  for a city tour and asked for her mobile number, so I could call her.*

She got excited and said:*

"sex sex sex,wan free sex for tonigh".

Wow, I'm guessing this is how Chinese women express their hospitality ! *

But then my friend interpreted it for me, and told me what she really
