Fair Treatment

Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is like expecting the lion not to attack you because you are a vegetarian.

From a mail forward.

Freedom from Hatred

Once a Junior School teacher asked her students to bring some potatoes in a plastic bag to school. Each potato will be given a name of the person whom that child hates. Like this the number of potatoes will be equal to the number of persons they hate. On a decided day the children brought their potatoes well addressed. Some had two, some had three and some had even five potatoes. The teacher said they have to carry these potatoes with them everywhere they go for a week. As the days passed the children started to complain about the spoiled smell that started coming from these potatoes. Also some students who had many potatoes complained that it was very heavy to carry them all around. The children got rid of this assignment after a week when it got over. The teacher asked, “How did you feel in this one week?” The children discussed their problems about the smell and weight. Then the teacher said, “This situation is very similar to what you carry in your heart when you don’t like some people. This hatred makes your heart unhealthy and you carry that hatred in your heart everywhere you go. If you can not bear the smell of spoiled potatoes for a week, imagine the impact of this hatred that you carry through out your life, on your heart?”

MORALE: Our heart is a beautiful garden that needs a regular cleaning of unwanted weeds.

Life is a Gift

There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she’s blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her; she could see everything. Her boyfriend asked her, “now that you can see the world, will you marry me?”The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend was blind too and refused to marry him. Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying. “Just take care of my eyes dear.”
This is how human beings change when their status gets enhanced. Only a few remember what life was before, and who’s always been there even in the most painful situations.

Life is A Gift.

Today before you think of saying an unkind word – Think of someone who can’t speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food – Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Today before you complain about life – Think of someone who went too early to heaven/hell.
Before you argue about your dirty house – Think of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive – Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job – Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.
But before you think of pointing a finger or condemning another – Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down – Put a smile on your face and thank — you’re alive and still around.

Life is a gift – Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it and Fulfill it.

The Perfect Husband...

The Perfect Husband...
Several men are in the changing room of a golf club.A mobile phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands free speaker-function and began to talk.

Everyone else in the room stops to listen.

MAN: 'Hello'
WOMAN: 'Darling, it's me. Are you at the club?'
MAN: 'Yes'
WOMAN: 'I am at the shopping centre and found this beautiful leather coat.It's only Rs.1,900. Is it OK if I buy it?'
MAN: 'Sure,..go ahead if you like it that much.'
WOMAN: 'I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2005models. I saw one I really liked.'
MAN: 'How much?'
WOMAN: 'Rs17,00,000'
MAN: 'OK, but for that price I want it with all the options.'
WOMAN: 'Great! Oh, and one more thing ... The house I wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking Rs.31,50,000'
MAN: 'Well, then go ahead and give them an offer of 31,00,000. They will probably take it. If not, we can go the extra 50thousand. It really is a pretty good price.'
WOMAN: 'OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!!'
MAN: 'Bye! I love you, too.'
The man hangs up. The other men in the changing room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths agape.....
He smiles and asks:
'Anyone knows who this mobile belongs to?'

From a forward.Wondering how a perfect wife would be....

Laziness and Caution

It is better to be wrong in the company of everyone than to be right against everyone else's judgement.

Quote from Business World Opinion on fiscal policy and economic outlook of present government.

Do You Believe in God?

When cleaning up the old mails... got this mail, which I have sent to group of friends, during a discussion on God years back.. still much of the though process remains the same I believe. A lengthier post !.



To start of, where did we come from, where we are going and who is behind all the things happenings.

I think no one could deny that a super natural power exists. Man named him as GOD.. . As in early days man was widely separated by geographical locations.. as civilization developed rapidly, mankind united in their respective locations... later it was MAN who created the religion for the sake of UNITY.. To have a unity mankind put the blame on the GOD /religion and did some wanted/unwanted things.. and later leaders did the things for their own wish in the name of religion and god..

The very strange fact is that the same Religion which unites people also divides people. (This is a bit tricky). Even though no religion says to oppose other religion or gods, some where some how it started for a selfish reason to prove leadership or some strange reasons.. It is the religion/race/ethnic/ add on had killed most lives than any other natural disaster...

Now coming to my personal experience, during my primary school days every Friday, my parents would take me to Anjayaneya temple I never refuse that because, I could skip my studies/home work at that time.. and I would get some thing on shops to eat after visit to temple.. Later in secondary school days, I was very much interested in studies, ( Studied for understanding not for the sake of simply studying) I stopped going to temple, even then some time my parents used to insist me to go to temple, even then I go inside temple, all my mind would be in the slippers which I had left below my cycle.. !!. Later during college days, when I started reading more books/magazines/ moving towards a larger circle of friends, I developed a sort of attitude towards worship. I started going for my parents happiness and later went for peaceful diversion and get some sort of concentration. Still I go to temple but these days I don't worry about my slippers I left in front of gate or about the problem I needed to solve the next day. I simply go there that's it...

Now coming back to the question. There could be only one answer for this. The answer is yet to be found out. ( Which I think we will never find out)There is no denial that there is a super natural power behind all these things.. if you say it is GOD, who created god.. if you say all came from the BIG BANG, what was there before the big bang... no answers.. Saying all this I don't say I am believer nor that I am a disbeliever,A Super natural power EXISTS . It is not going to give you Bread and butter (or even Idly dosa with sambar and chutney). Do all the best to get your basic needs, and try helping others.. It does not matter whether you go to temple or pray god or believe in God.

Do What You Want !!

Got this as a forward from a friend, Wondering what the last two lines really mean. Friend informed Those who see your talent, doesn't bother on your appearance, Those who look at your appearance , don't bother on your talent..

Still thinking. !!

Past and Present

Think of life as a great road trip. If you spend too much time looking back at where you have been , you will miss what's ahead.

Sigmund Freud's Priorities
Five things are happening in your house at the same time. In which sequence would you solve them?
1. The telephone is ringing!
2. The baby is crying!
3. Some one's knocking or calling you from the front door!
4. You hung the clothes out to dry and it is beginning to rain!
5. You left the tap on in the kitchen and the water is already overflowing!
In which sequence would you solve these problems? Write the sequence and check below how your decisions were made.

BUT BE HONEST, THE FINDINGS ARE EXCITING. First write YOUR sequence from 1 to 5 then scroll below and read after!





Answer:
Every individual point represents something in your life.
On the list you can see which meaning every point has:
1. Telephone represents Work
2. Baby represents Family
3. Door represents Friends
4. Clothes represent Money
5. Tap represents Love Life
Your chosen sequence determines the priorities in your life


My order was baby, door, telephone, tap, clothes..

At the same time, Before seeing the findings, I was thinking if it is a mobile phone, probably take it to first and inform you would call back.
