thenmala or the riviera?

maybe it's because of the various european influences that you don't always think you're quite as deep in south asia as you actually are. this is one of the oldest railway stations in the south of india, clocking up a wopping 127 years in the service of the world's most stupendously huge railway network - having said that, however, the town it serves feels as if it's 2 centuries older!

sacrifices his chocolates for his sister.
He sacrifices his dreams for just a smile on his parents face.
He spends his entire pocket money on buying gifts for the girl he loves just to see her smiling
He sacrifices his full youth for his wife & children by working late at night without any complaints.
He builds their future by taking loans from banks & repaying them for lifetime.
He struggles a lot & still has to bear scolding from his mother, wife & boss.
His mother, wife & boss all try to control him.
His life finally ends up only by compromising for others' happiness.
Respect every male in your life.
U will never know what he has sacrificed 4U.
Worth sending to every man to make him smile & every woman to make her realize his worth!!

Agar aurat par hath uthaye to BESHARAM,
Aurat se maar khae to BUZDIL,
Aurat ko kisi ke saat dekh ker ladai kare to JEALOUS,
Chup rahe to DARPOK,
Ghar se bahar rahe to AAWARA,
Ghar me rahe to NAUKAR,
Bachhon ko dante to ZALIM,
Na dante to LAPARWAH,
Aurat ko naukari karane se roke to SHAK KARNE WALA,
Aurat ko naukari karane se na rokey to BIWI KI KAMAAI KHANE WALA,
Maa ki mane to CHAMCHA,
Biwi ki sune to JORU KA GULAM...
Na Jane Kab Aayega,
"HAPPY MEN'S DAY"
