A young couple had neighbours who were senior citizens, the husband 80 years old and the wife about 5 years younger. The young couple were very fond of the elderly couple and made it a point to visit them and have coffee with them every Sunday.
They observed that the old lady would bring the coffee bottle to her husband to be opened every time. The thoughtful young man gifted the lady a gadget, without her husband's knowledge, to easily open the bottle and showed her how to use it.
On their next visit, the old lady once again brought the bottle for her husband to open! The young couple was amazed. Had she forgotten about the gadget?1
When the opportunity arose to be alone with the old lady, they quizzed her about this. Her reply made them speechless.......
She said, "Oh, I can open the bottle myself, even without your gadget! But I get him to open it so he feels he is still stronger than I am and thus the man of our home.......that he remains useful to me as always; that I still depend on him; that togetherness is the main ingredient of any marriage........we don't have many more years of life in us and togetherness is of utmost importance........"
Never underestimate the wisdom of the elderly. Their presence should be looked upon as a blessing.

Convert to Islam or get ready to die and face Allah's wrath : ISIS threatens nationalist Janam
TV
As per reports, Janam TV has seen a drastic rise in TRP ratings and now features in top five Malayalam news channels in the state. The said channel provides a nationalist perspective in Kerala which is dominated by the far-left media.
The Islamic State (ISIS) has reportedly threatened to deface the offices of the nationalist Kerala-based channel, Janam TV. Besides, it threatened to kill all employees working at the said channel. In light of the threats given by the terrorist outfit, state police chief Loknath Behra has ordered the police department to enhance the security at the offices of Janam TV.
The Kerala unit of the ISIS has reportedly sent threats to the channel over Instagram. The terror outfit intimidated the employees of the channel to convert to Islam or get exterminated. "Mujahideen's message to Janam TV! We invite you to convert to Islam or else get ready to say goodbye to the world and face Allah's wrath and punishment".

Tailpiece.
Got up a trifle later than the usual time, though Lekha had kept the alarm for a half past 5. The chores and we were ready by a half past 7. Today is the first New Moon day of the month of Karkkidakam when Malayalis offer the 'Bali Tharpanam' to all the departed of the family.
Lekha had prepared the rice and we'd placed the four balls of rice, as offering, on a banana leaf and clapped our wet hands to attract the crows. However, there wasn't any sign of even a single crow in the vicinity and after waiting for a couple of hours, the offering was shifted to the base of the coconut tree at the north west corner of the courtyard. Wonder whether the souls weren't happy with our offering?
