The Mahatma espoused worthy causes and upheld some values and virtues close to his heart. So let us read what Prof. Chatterjee tries to convey in his essay and spend some time thinking over it. On other pages you will see some interesting anecdotes and fable-like writing guaranteeing reading pleasure. Puthancheri eulogises classical poets Kunhiraman Nair and Kunchan Nambiar on seeing the torrential monsoon rains. Kannur unit celebrated Onam at Sargaalayam, Vatakara. We are indebted to Suhair, Sasi, Anandakumar and KNC for their valuable inputs and Kunhi Raman for the transformation of Lineage into an eye-catching magazine.
ENJOY READING!!

Dear Nayanar Glad to receive Lineage September 2013 issue. I have read it completely except Tips on Investment. I have enjoyed reading lineage and I thank and congratulate all who took pains to contribute the matter that made lineage an E C Joseph enjoyable electronic journal. Dear kunhiraman/nayanar sir, Recd the sep issue of Lineage..thank u .In this issue we have more material for hearty laugh..Smt Sugatha kumary's poem is appropriate for this time. Makes our hearts heavy.I always used to wonder the poet's ability to present subjects we come across every day in the life in such impactful way All the contents of this issue were very interesting; i finished reading in one stretch... HAPPY ONAM to all fellow Engineers Vaidyanathan P.R
Your Ex-Husband
P.S. dont try to find me. Your sister& I are moving away to West Virginia together! Have a great life! Dear Ex-Husband, Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter. Its true you & I have been married for 7 years, although a good man is a far cry from what youve been. I watch my soaps so much because they drown out your constant whining & griping. Too bad that doesnt work. I DID notice when you got a haircut last week, but the 1st thing that came to mind was You look just like a girl! Since my mother raised me not to say anything if you cant say something nice, I didnt comment. And when you cooked my favourite meal, you must have gotten me confused with MY SISTER, because I stopped eating pork 7 years ago. About those new silk boxers: I turned away from you because the $49.99 price tag was still on them, & I prayed it was a coincidence that my sister had just borrowed $50 from me that morning. After all of this, I still loved you & felt we could work it out. So when I hit the lotto for 10 million dollars, I quit my job & bought us 2 tickets to Jamaica But when I got home you were gone. Everything happens for a reason, I guess. I hope you have the fulfilling life you always wanted. My lawyer said that the letter you wrote ensures you wont get a dime from me. So take care. Signed,
Your Ex-Wife,
Rich As Hell & Free! P.S. I dont know if I ever told you this, but my sister Carla was born Carl. I hope thats not a problem. Suhair

be an effective leader at work, he has probably learned that getting his own way all of the time does not produce good results. As it turns out, the best leaders are also excellent followers. Why? 1. Good leaders share leadership. They know when to follow and when to lead. 2. Good leaders build their skills on following role models for the behaviors they want to learn. What they admire in another, they copy. 3. Good leaders exhibit humility. They remain open to suggestion. When they need it, they ask for help and follow good advice. In other words, good leaders are also good followers. They know when to follow in the footsteps of others and when to leave tracks of their own. You may be the boss, but you will be a leader when you also learn how to follow. Steve Goodier / Suhair
Wit..
A man explained inflation to his wife thus: 'When we married, you measured 36-24-36. Now you're 42-42-42. There's more of you, but you are not worth as much. That is what happens to our currency during inflation.'
..and Wisdom
We spend the first twelve months of our childrens lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up. Phyllis Diller.

Ricky was ten when his parents were expecting their fifth child. They called a family conference, and encouraged the kids to voice their opinions about the new addition. The daughter hoped for a sister, while two of the boys wished for another sparring partner. Ricky, though, had one concern: Now how are we going to share a dozen doughnuts?
Cure?
A fellow walked into a drugstore and headed to the back to speak to the pharmacist. "Do you have anything for hiccups?" he asked. Without warning, the pharmacist reached over and gave the man a sharp smack on the shoulder. "Did that help?" he inquired. "I don't know," the startled man replied. "I'll have to ask my wife. She's waiting in the car."

Helpful Satan
There was a poor young minister whose new wife was extravagant. When she came home one day in an expensive coat, he exclaimed, "You know we can't afford clothes like that!" "I'm sorry," she said. "The devil made me buy it." "You should have said 'Satan, get thee behind me!' , the minister admonished. "I did," his wife replied. "But he called over my shoulder that it fit me beautifully in the back, too."
