It is time for the next batch of Shailisms to be offloaded on an unsuspecting public. This batch continues from here. Thanks once again to Jakey and his Jakeisms for the inspiration.
- Don’t blame those who try to divide, it is those who LET THEMSELVES BE DIVIDED who are at fault.
- Everyone has a mother and mothers have tongues. So what is so special about any particular one?? Language chauvinism is such a bore.
- It is easy to spot habitual liars: they disbelieve even your truths. Conversely, spot the honest and straightforward: they believe your lies too.
- A tree doesn’t shout out loud about the strength and efficacy of its roots but proves it by its own majestic bearing, solid trunk, strong branches, green leaves, beautiful and colorful flowers and luscious fruits. Wish humans would learn a lesson or two from them, stop blabbering about their ‘roots’ and instead prove through their life that they indeed do have roots.
- Sometimes you find good people behind bad intentions and bad people behind good intentions
- Fools rent out their brains to the green-eyed monster with no returns; smart ones keep the prime location for personal use, gaining from it.
- Those men who (proudly) proclaim ‘We men are like this’ should be the first to admit and accept, ‘They women are like that’ and let it be.
- How come an Indian man expects his wife to treat his mother with respect and love but feels it is alright for his mother(and him) to ill-treat the mother of his children (his wife)?
- It is called mother tongue NOT because father seldom gets to speak it, but because FATHER IS SELDOM AROUND TO SPEAK IT.
- I have found the one sure answer to all questions with regard to life and that is: THERE IS NO SINGLE ANSWER TO ANYTHING.
Okay, that’s it for now. As usual more will be inflicted on readers, but after a suitable gap. I don’t want my readers running away in horror, do I? Thank you for suffering my wisdom nonsense.
Shail's Nest 
LOL 🙂
About the 10th one, Shail what’s your name?
@indianhomemaker,
Errr… Is asking my name a question with regard to life? But anyways here is the answer: Shailaja, Shail, Shaila, Ponni, Shelly, Molu, Molsey…
Updated to add: What’s in a Name??
Couldbt agree more – which is why I think wrong is the new right ! 😉
Cheers

@Gyanban,
With what? I am at a loss here. 🙂
@Shail, point number 5 !
@Gyanban,
Ahh *now enlightened* 🙂
LOL!!! I love the 4, 8 and 10 very much.
@Rashmi,
😉 Thanks.
4th one really good.we all must learn from nature 🙂
@vivekb,
Welcome to Shail’s Nest and thank you 🙂
Good ones, I am sure Jakey is impressed.
@Vivek,
Ahh, that makes me happy 🙂
double like point 6 🙂
@Haritha,
Thanks. It is such a waste, isn’t it, letting out space to the green-eyed monster? 😉
oh How I love the number eleven!
but you say confused ‘only ten have I given’
I think that if I add one more I will be forgiven
which says ‘don’t look for something which isn’t there even’.
:). I am sure The first one for the next batch of Shailisms will be ‘Along the way of life we pick up some unwanted baggage’. 🙂
@Govind,
I like that: Don’t look for something that isn’t even there. 🙂 Hmm… along the way of life, I have certainly picked up some extra weight 😉
I didn’t mean your weight physical or otherwise. I meant some useless friends like me who are a pain in the…you know where…. with their nonsensical comments 🙂
@Govind,
What am I hearing? Useless friendsaa?? Nonsensical commentsaa?? Govinda Govinda! 😉
When will be the next class? 🙂
I dont want to miss THE MISS.
@Makk,
Let me see, the last one was on 28th March, and this one on Sept 17th.. So the next one should come somewhere in another six months time 😀
“It is easy to spot habitual liars: they disbelieve even your truths. Conversely, spot the honest and straightforward: they believe your lies too.”
I loved this. Loved, loved, LOVED this!! 🙂
@Scorpria,
Ahh, you have trodden the same path that I have 😀 Thank you 🙂
I loved all of them..but the last one definitely takes the cake 🙂
So next class on???
@R’s Mom,
Thank you. Yeah, there truly isn’t a single answer to anything. Answers depend on the angle at which we look at questions 😉
Hmm… Next class? Another six months maybe 😉
Nice ones..first five I liked more:)
@renu,
Thank you 🙂 Seeing you after a long time 🙂
Hi Shail
Delurking and commenting for the first time. I had to after reading the shailisms. Loved the 2nd and 4th one. Keep them coming.
@shital,
Welcome to Shail’s Nest and yes I am glad you de-lurked 🙂 Thank you Shital.
Oh there is an answer to the last question “42” 😀
@Prats,
Lol, yes. How could I forget that? The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is one of my fav books 🙂 But on second thoughts, there is a difference. 42 is the answer to everything, but there is no single answer to anything 😛 😉
EAXCTLY my thought on point ONE .. why blame others when we are WEAK .. well said
and made me laugh at the mother tongue well the father has to go out and EARN 🙂 oooooh what have i said sure to get a reply on this ha ha ha ha ha
@bikram,
Oh yeah, and after earning he watches TV 😛 Hehe… And what about fauji children like mine? If I never spoke to them, they’d never have learned either a mother or father tongue 😛 Thankfully both are the same. Lol.
Thanks. 🙂
Wonderful Wonderful collection Shail!!
specially point number 1 and 10 !!
Well said 🙂
@MomOfRS,
Thank you. More where this came from in the next installment 😉
