Friend: Happy birthday!
She : Haan...tha......nk yo....u...was just getting up from the bed.
Friend : Oh! That means I am the first to wish you!
She : Naa! He has already wished me at 12 in the night.
Friend : Who???
She : Come on, who else, Nitin.
Friend : Oh, ok. So, what's the plan for today?
She : Nitin told me that he has a surprise gift for me for my Birthday. And
also we are going to Flower Show today. I am excited! I have never seen the
flower show that happens in Lal Baug. Actually that itself is the most
wonderful gift for me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friend : "Did you go to Palace grounds all the way from Basavanagudi, to
see Bryan Adam's show!!! Who accompanied you?"
She : Nitin
Friend : By the way, who referred your CV in SoCrates? I mean you don't
know anyone there, right?
She : No, he forwarded my CV to one of his friends there.
Friend : I heard that the HR round interview went on till 8pm in the night.
I think you faced difficulty in returning to your room.
She : No, he had come to pick me up. He came from his office, dropped me to
my room and he returned to his room at around 11pm. He didn't have dinner
also. I asked him to have at my room. Poor Nitin.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friend : If you are supposed to go home tomorrow itself then what about
reservation?
She : I have told him, he will go to Majestic and would get it done, and he
told he has some work in Majestic. That's why I am relaxed a bit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friend : How was your written test in Philips?
She : I failed yaar. The day before the test I had prepared perfectly.
Nitin had come to our room. He taught me the basics of embedded programming
concepts. I was very confident only because of him. But something else was
in store for me.
Friend : Then, what did you do on Sunday?
She : We had gone to see "Lakshya". He doesn't see Hindi movies. But as I
was upset after failing in the Philips written test, he took me for movie.
I was very happy and surprised that he himself decided for a Hindi movie,
and he was very happy that I enjoyed the movie. And you know; we had dinner
in Pizza hut. It was his belated B'day treat!
Friend : And, what was your belated gift ;-)
She : Gift!! I had given the gift on his B'day itself. I was the first to
call him at 12 in the night, he was busy throughout the day, and somehow we
could meet in the evening and I gifted him with a cute time piece with a
nice quote on it. He doesn't have time sense, so my time piece must always
remind him of this. That day he didn't give me any treat as he had to go
back to office. Yesterday I had a fight over this, you know! Poor kid.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friend : Hello...what about our sari shopping program in Malleshwaram?
She : Listen, I will call you later.
Friend : You didn't call me back in the morning, so I called now.
She : Yeah, when you called I was in Koramangala, with Nitin. He was very
upset in the morning. He had a fight with his elder brother. So, it
wouldn't have been fair on my part to leave him alone. If I am with him in
such situation very soon he comes back to normalcy. So I postponed the
Malleshwaram program.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friend : Hey! What happened? You seem to be very happy today.
She : Why not? You know today is one of the most happiest days for me.
Nitin got an onsite assignment in UK, for 6 months! That's why I am very
happy. All of his hard work paid today. He had been waiting for this
opportunity since long. He'll be leaving next month.
Friend : You will miss him.
She : Badly. I am so much dependent on him. I must thank Sanju, through him
only I got to know Nitin. Without Nitin it would have been very difficult
for me to stay in this alien city with no friends, relatives and on top of
all, no job. He has been so caring friend all through my tough times in
this city, he is so mature, so understanding, so trustworthy...a true
friend.
Friend : He loves you yaar.
She : I know.
Friend : And you? Don't you love him?
She : I don't want to.
Friend : Don't tell me. You also feel for him.
She : I know yaar. He has everything that I expect in my
dream-life-partner. I know I can never get a true life partner like him.
But I don't want to commit.
Friend : What is stopping you? I really don't understand. When Miya-beevi
are razi kya karega kazi?
She : Please...don't say like that. I never told him that I love him or
something like that.
Friend : Is he a fool not to understand your feelings which are so clear
from outside only? Poor fellow, don't leave him alone.
She : I have told him everything about my family. He knows how orthodox my
parents are. They can never expect me marrying a guy from a different
caste. They trust me. Come what may, I will not hurt my parent's feelings.
I cannot imagine also. Now they are happily searching a guy for me in my
native place.
Friend : Hmm, I don't understand at all.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She : This Saturday I have to go home, a guy is coming to see me.
Friend : Oh! Is it? Good news yaar. Your first interview! Wish you all the
best.
Friend : Any guesses, who is he?
She : Please yaar. I am least bothered and least interested. For the sake
of my parents' happiness I have agreed for this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friend : What about the interview, I was expecting your call actually?
She : Nothing so special. I didn't like the guy's attitude. I told my
parents clearly. My parents are very understanding and so they too told me
that they won't go ahead with this matter.
Friend : But still you should have analyzed properly.
She : I shared my views with Nitin. He had called me the next day. He
didn't suggest me anything. He didn't tell me to say "yes" or "no", he
didn't preach what is right or what is wrong. But after talking to him I
was satisfied that whatever decision I took was right.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friend : Yesterday your mobile was engaged for more than half an hour. I
kept trying, but I slept after 11pm.
She : Yeah, I was talking to Nitin. He is very much worried about my
marriage. He is concerned whether I would get a guy of my choice or not,
whether I would be happy with him or not. I was very sad to know this. But
I am helpless. I pacified him and convinced that whatever my parents do,
that will be the best for me, so no need to worry.
Friend : How Nitin will feel after you get married? Will he not be upset
all the time?
She : Time will change everything. He will start living again. Was he not
leading a normal life before I came into his life? It's all matter of time.
Even I can't do anything other than pacifying him and myself with these
philosophical statements.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally " She" got engaged with a guy of her parent's choice (with her
"yes" of course). She is in touch with both Nitin and the new " him"
regularly through chatting in Yahoo Messenger.
Finally " She" got happily married to " him", very soon converting Nitin
into memories, but deleting the memories was slow and almost impossible for
Nitin.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do girls do like this?
She needs him when she is new to the city.
She needs his help in finding out a PG or hostel for her
She makes him prepare a good-format-CV for her
She needs him to drop her to the venue of a walk-in interview
She expects him to collect all the consultants' mail ids
She needs him while preparing for the interviews
She needs his help in identifying HER skill sets, strengths and weakness!
She wants him to conduct a mock-interview for her!
She gives her yahoo mail id password so that he can forward her CV to
consultants through internet in his office (in office hours!)
She needs him for boosting her confidence when she fails in the 1 st
written test in her life
She wants him to take her to M.G Road , Brigade Road, Forum and Big bazaar
She needs his company while visiting all the temples in Malleshwaram on
Vijayadashami, though he is not a believer of God.
She asks his opinions on importance of marriage
She wants him to be a shoulder to cry when her parents force her for
marriage
She needs his help in preparing her mind for the first interview with a guy
She needs his help in deciding about the marriage proposal
She loves to share her happiness with him when she gets engaged
She expects him to attend her marriage (Come on guys, he is a true friend
of her!)
The guy does all this honestly, without saying a single "No".
He loves her.
He cares for her.
Whatever he is today; it is only because of her entry in to his life.
He treats her as his life.
She changed him.
It is only because of her, he is smiling.
It is only because of her, he has forgotten the past bitter experiences.
She is the first person in his life to influence him so much.
He was the " bhatka hua musafir" and she came as his " manzil".
He threw the cigarette in the dust-bin because of her.
He has cultivated a positive attitude towards marriage and family because
of her.
She is the perfect Indian woman he has ever seen.
He keeps a photo of Lord Krishna in his purse now; only because of her
(also it is her favorite deity!).
Weekends come and go without his notice; it is only because of her.
He stopped going to office on Weekends; it is only because of her.
Onsite project was his dream; he puts all his efforts now, not to get an
onsite assignment but to get a job for her in Bangalore.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The girl depends on the guy as if she never lived and can never live
without him. Guy behaves as if he has taken birth on this earth only to
care for that lady. She treats him as a shoulder to cry and he treats her
as a puppy in a rain storm. She loves to depend and he loves to take care,
finally they fall in so called "love", ultimately adding an unnecessary
trauma to life. Girls want a perfect life partner but they don't want to
hurt their parents' feelings, guys know that they can't get her but still
they want to care for her(because they want her to be happy wherever she is
and with whoever she is).Great! Or shall I say crap!
Or I think no need to be so serious about it.
She gets engaged, life goes on...
Long lasting phone calls become short and sweet, life goes on...
A heart which was used to "Good morning" SMSs learns to be happy with just
the "Happy weekend" SMSs, life goes on...
No more "Unread messages" in the yahoo mail, life goes on...
No one to share coffee at "Barista" at the end of a tiring working day,
life goes on...
No more consultants' calls to be diverted and life goes on...
He starts smoking again, life goes on...
He is still living in flashback, and no looking back for her, but life goes
on...
He gets promoted, he is a manager, she is mother of two kids, and life goes
on...
He is in his late twenties, happily married to a beautiful, understanding,
mature, caring, broad minded wife! Anyway life goes on...
Who knows, among these "Nitin"s someone will come up as "Cheran" (ace
Tamil film director)and make a wonderful movie "My autograph" telling us of
his unsuccessful love stories, or someone will come up as "Sudeep"( Kannada
film actor turned director) who goes to his flashback after seeing this
movie and then decides remaking this movie in Kannada, giving common people
an opportunity to relive their past love-life at least for 3 hours, that
too with their spouses, without any problem! Because there is " She" in
every wife and there is Nitin in every husband (most of the times!). There
are dumb spectators like " Friend" who are puzzled to see the whole episode
between "She" and Nitin and just ask themselves " WHAT IT IS???" .

A bus conductor
Once there was a bus conductor, who was very rude to his passengers.One day a beautiful young girl, of around 18 years,tried to boardthe bus,but he didn't stop the bus.Unfortunately the beautiful young girl came under the bus and diedon the spot. Angry passengers took the conductor to the police station, who in turn took him to the court.The judge was not at all impressed with him and gave him capitalpunishment.He was taken to the electrocution chamber. There was a single chair in the center of the room and a single banana peel at one corner of the room. Theconductor was strapped to the chair and high voltage current was given tohim. But to everyone's amazement, he survived. The judge decided to set himfree, and he returned to his profession.
After a few months, this time, a good lo! oking middle aged womantried to board the bus but the conductor didn't stop the bus.Unfortunately,this time also, the good looking middle aged woman came under the bus anddied on the spot.Again angry passengers took him to the police station, who in turntook him to the court. The judge took one look at the conductor and gavehimcapital punishment. The Bus conductor was taken to the same electrocutionchamber where there was a single chair in the center of the room anda single banana peel at one corner of the room. He was strapped to thechair and high voltage current was given to him. This time also toeveryone's amazement, he survived. The judge decided to set him free, andhereturned to his profession.
A couple of months later, an elderly gentleman tried to board thebus. This time the Bus conductor, remembering his earlier experiences,stoppedthe b! us. Unfortunately the elderly gentleman slipped and died due to hisinjuries. The conductor was taken to the police station and then tothe court, to the same judge. Though he hadn't done anything wrong, butconsidering his past record the judge decided to set an example andgave him capital punishment. The Bus conductor was again taken to the sameelectrocution chamber where there was a single chair in the centerof the room and a single banana peel at one corner of the room. He wasstrapped to the chair and high voltage current was given to him.
This timehe died instantly !!!!!!!!!!!
The question is why didn't he die on the first two occasions, but diedinstantly the third time??
Try to solve it yourselves.
This is rather interesting and answer isperfectly logical.
If necessary read the puzzle once again.!
Still you couldn't, Then see below.........
think hardcommon .............
tired....
wanna know the answer????
ok........
there is the Answer............
During the first two times, the conductor was a Bad Conductor,therefore electricity didn't pass through him. But during the third time,hewas a good conductor, so electricity passed through him freely and he died!!!!!!!!Ha Ha Ha ha !!!!!!!! Obviously you gotta revise your science chapter on Electricity!!

Wanna become a smart Design Engineer
Once a smart Design engineer and his Project Manager were traveling towards
Ooty in a train. Just Opposite to their seat, a beautiful girl was sitting
along with her grand ma. With in some time, Eye-Eye interactions started
between our engineer & that girl. After some minutes, train started moving
in to a tunnel and it was very dark.
Suddenly, every body heard a Kiss sound followed by a sound of slapping..
Every body remained silent, when the train came out of the tunnel.
Grand ma thought that," The Guy is a rogue; how dare he is? He has kissed
my grand daughter! But my Grand daughter is genuine; she immediately
slapped that guy."
PM thought that,"I can't believe that this guy has kissed that girl! But it
is unfair that she slapped me by mistake"
That girl thought that,"I feel happy, when that guy kissed me, but I feel
sorry that my grand ma has slapped him".
Finally, do u know what our clever Design engineer thought?
" This one minute in my life is wonderful, It hardly comes...because, at a
time I have kissed a girl and also I have slapped my PM."

Old Weird looking Book seller on a Full moon night
If you know some one staying in Pune let them know this. If you are
In pune, do go through this story COZ, its a real one. Read this true
story... and let everybody you know in and around Pune especially University
Road
.........
My friend lives in Deccan ... One day he went to University Road to
Visit his uncle for some days as his parents had to attend a wedding in Lonavla.
One evening he and some other of my college friends went to Adlabs for a
movie.
He had so much fun that he forgot that it's very late.
He caught the last PMT to University Road ..... he reached University
Road around midnight...... He had to walk about a mile from the bus stop to
home.... As he was walking alone, he could sense that the night felt
very creepy as it was so dark. While walking, he was astonished to see an
old weird-looking guy selling some books. It was a very unusual thing to
see a thing like that.....
It got the shivers ! on him when he noticed that his
old guy was unusually pale and staring at him... The old guy said "Son
why don't you buy a book...it would keep you company".
Then my friend did something which he would regret for the rest of
His life. My friend started to act brave & thought why not & had a look at
His collections...
My friend's hair started to stand on end as he noticed that all the
Books were related to supernatural activities...but he found one that was
Very interesting.
So he asked the old man "how much is it, uncle?"
The old guy replied, "Well son...this is an interesting book...it's
Only for
Rs 250.
My friend was shocked and said "but...but... it's expensive"
This time the old man stared which freaked my friend.
My friend did not want to cross this scary old man, so he quickly
Checked all his pockets & found Rs.200 & said
"This is all I have." The old guy replied "It's OK son... you can have
The book for that price"
As my friend was just about to run for home...the old man called back
& said "Son ... whatever happens, don't ever flip the book to it's last
page... remember these words or you will regret...!!!!!"
My friend nodded and never looked back ... Reaching home...he quickly
Asked his Uncle whether there was any new old book seller nearby?
The Uncle replied " I haven't seen him but ....we've heard that
there's 1 old man who comes once in a while during full moon nights but heard
that there is something creepy about it...why son?"
My friend freaked out... he told his uncle "nothing uncle... just
asking". He started reading the book with the old man's parting words on his
mind...
At night, 2 o'clock , as he went to bed, a gush of wind blew which
Chilled him up to his bones. At that point, he noticed the wind had
blown th e pages to its last page. He remembered what the old man has
said!
But we humans tend to have the tendency to know. Out of curiosity, he
flipped to the last page & fainted... What he saw at the last page
is stated below:
Don't look further down if you have a weak heart
I warn you

Who is the guy who was hindering my progress?
One day all the employees reached the office and they saw a big notice on the door on which it was written:
"Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym".
In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious to know, who was that man who hindered their growth of his colleagues and the company itself.
The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were ordered to control the crowd within the room.
The more people reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up.
Everyone thought: "Who is this guy who was hindering my progress? Well, at least he died!"
One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, and when they looked inside it, they suddenly became speechless. They stood nearby the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul.
There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself.
There was also a sign next to the mirror that said:
"There is only one person, who is capable to set limits to your growth:
IT IS YOU.
You are the ONLY person who can revolutionize your life.
You are the only person, who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success.
You are the ONLY person who can help YOURSELF.
Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limited beliefs, when you realize that you are the ONLY one responsible for your life.
THE MOST IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIP YOU CAN HAVE IS THE ONE YOU HAVE WITH YOURSELF! ".
Examine yourself. Watch yourself. Don’t be afraid of difficulties, impossibilities and losses: Be a WINNER, Build Yourself and Your Reality.
The world is like a Mirror. It gives back to anyone the reflection of the thoughts in which one has strongly believed.
The world and your reality are like mirrors lying in a coffin, which show to any individual the death of his divine capability to imagine and create his happiness and his success.
It’s the way you face Life that makes the difference.

Little Johnny's Story....

A Car Without Driver
it really happened.... This guy drives from Mumbai to Pune and decides not to take the new expressway as he wants to see the scenery. The inevitable happens and when he reaches the ghats his car breaks down - he's stranded miles from nowhere. Having no choice he starts walking on the side of the road, hoping to get a lift to the nearest human habitation. It's dark and raining. And pretty soon he's wet and shivering. The night rolls on and no car goes by, the monsoon rains are so strong he can hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly he sees a car coming towards him. It slows and then stops next to him - without thinking the guy opens the car's door and jumps in. Seated in the back, he leans forward to thank the person who had saved him when he realizes there is nobody behind the wheel!!! Even though there's no one in the front seat and no sound of any engine, the car starts moving slowly. The guy looks at the road ahead and sees a curve coming (remember, this is in the hills and there is a steep, steep drop beyond the curve). Scared almost to death he starts to pray, begging the Lord for his life. He hasn't come out of shock, when just before he hits the curve, a hand appears through the window and moves the wheel! The car makes the curve safely and continues on the road to the next bend. The guy, now paralyzed in terror, watches how the hand appears every time they are before a curve and moves the steering wheel just enough to get the car around each bend. Finally, the guy sees lights ahead. Gathering his courage he wrenches open the door of the silent, slowly moving car, scrambles out and runs as hard as he can towards the lights. It's a small town. Wet and in shock goes to a roadside dhabba, which is open, and asks for a drink. They find some hooch and give him a shot. And he starts telling whoever is in the dhabba about the horrible experience he's just been through. A silence envelops everybody when they realize the guy isn't drunk, and is really frightened - he's crying and shaking. So they give him more hooch and talk about what they should do, whether to call the police or find a priest, or what. But just then...................... Two guys (Santa Singh & Banta Singh) walk into the dhabba. One says to the other "Look, Banta - that's the guy who got in our car when we were pushing it."

All the time great Love story-2
Nurse: "It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 am, when an elderly gentleman, in his 80's, presented to have sutures
(stitches) removed from his thumb.
He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. I (nurse) took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him.
I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.
While taking care of his wound, we began to engage in conversation. Asked him if he had a doctor's appointment this morning somewhere else, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.
I then inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer Disease.
As we talked, and I finished dressing his wound, I asked if she would be worried if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.
I was surprised, and asked him. "And you are still going every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?" He smiled as he patted my hand and said. "She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is."
I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, "That is the kind of love I want in my life."
True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

Eight Lies of a Mother
This story begins when I was a child: I was born poor. Often we hadn't enough to eat. Whenever we had some food, Mother often gave me her portion of rice. While she was transferring her rice into my bowl, she would say "Eat this rice, son! I'm not hungry." This was Mother's First Lie. As I grew, Mother gave up her spare time to fish in a river near our house; she hoped that from the fish she caught, she could give me a little bit more nutritious food for my growth. Once she had caught just two fish, she would make fish soup. While I was eating the soup, mother would sit beside me and eat what was still left on the bone of the fish I had eaten; My heart was touched when I saw it. Once I gave the other fish to her on my chopstick but she immediately refused it and said, "Eat this fish, son! I don't really like fish." This was Mother's second lie Then, in order to fund my education, Mother went to a Match Factory to bring home some used matchboxes which she filled with fresh matchsticks. This helped her get some money to cover our needs. One wintry night I awoke to find Mother filling the matchboxes by candlelight. So I said, "Mother, go to sleep; it's late: you can continue working tomorrow morning." Mother smiled and said "Go to sleep, son! I'm not tired." This was Mother's Third Lie When I had to sit my Final Examination, Mother accompanied me. After dawn, Mother waited for me for hours in the heat of the sun. When the bell rang, I ran to meet her. Mother embraced me and poured me a glass of tea that she had prepared in a thermos. The tea was not as strong as my Mother's love, Seeing Mother covered with perspiration; I at once gave her my glass and asked her to drink too. Mother said "Drink, son! I'm not thirsty!; This was Mother's Fourth Lie. After Father's death, Mother had to play the role of a single parent. She held on to her former job; she had to fund our needs alone. Our family's life was more complicated. We suffered from starvation. Seeing our family's condition worsening, my kind Uncle who lived near my house came to help us solve our problems big and small. Our other neighbors saw that we were poverty stricken so they often advised my mother to marry again. But Mother refused to remarry saying "I don't need love." This was Mother's Fifth Lie. After I had finished my studies and gotten a job, it was time for my old Mother to retire but she carried on going to the market every morning just to sell a few vegetables. I kept sending her money but she was steadfast and even sent the money back to me. She said, "I have enough money." That was Mother's Sixth Lie. I continued my part-time studies for my Master's Degree. Funded by the American Corporation for which I worked, I succeeded in my studies. With a big jump in my salary, I decided to bring Mother to enjoy life in America but Mother didn't want to bother her son; she said to me "I'm not used to high living." That was Mother's Seventh Lie In her dotage, Mother was attacked by cancer and had to be hospitalized. Now living far across the ocean, I went home to visit Mother who was bedridden after an operation. Mother tried to smile but I was heartbroken because she was so thin and feeble but Mother said, "Don't cry, son! I'm not in pain." That was Mother's Eighth Lie. Telling me this, her eighth lie, she died. YES, MOTHER WAS AN ANGEL!

All the time great Love story-1
A girl and a boy were on a motorcycle, speeding through the night.
They loved each other a lot.....
Girl:"slow down a little.. I'm scared.."
Boy: "No, it's so fun.."
Girl: "please..it's so scary.."
Boy: "Then say that you love me.."
Girl: "Fine..I love you..can you slow down now?"
Boy: "Give me a big hug.."
The girl gave him a big hug.
Girl: "Now can you slow down?"
Boy: "Can you take off my helmet and put it on? It's uncomfortable and it's bothering me while i ride."
The next day, there was a story in the newspaper. A motorcycle had crashed into a building because its brakes were broken. There were two people on the motorcycle, of which one died, and the other had survived...The guy knew that the brakes were broken. He didn't want to let the girl know, because he knew that the girl would have gotten scared. Instead, he was told the last time that she loved him,got a hug from her, put his helmet on her so that she can live, and die himself...
Once in a while, Right in the middle of an ordinary life, Love gives us a fairy tale...

Footprints
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it: "LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me." The LORD replied: "My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you." written by Mary Stevenson

Meeting With Ghost
Once upon a time there was a boy in a town. He was only son of his parents. He felt lonely so he started praying. One day God was so happy with his prayer so he appeared at his place and asked him to wish any thing. The boy said to God, "I feel lonely so give me one friend". God promised him, "he would send one friend for him". He became happy after hearing these words. God went back to heaven. God checked in all heaven but he did not find single person who was free to go to the earth that time. God was in toroble and worried. He sent his informer to many places but he did not find any friend for his best child. Next day one of his informers came and told him that there was one woman in hell. She was free to go to the earth.The Informer told him all about that girl. She was a ghost because she murdered one guy when she was alive. God thought and sent her on the earth in the night. That time boy was dreaming about his upcoming new friend. Ghost appeared into the room. The boy woke up and he screamed to give her identity. She told every thing to the boy. Boy accepted her as his new friend. However, their was a problem, that only boy could hear her and see her also she had bad and ugly face but she had soft heart. Slowly and gradually they both felt in love.
After one year God again came on the earth to see boy was happy or not. He appeared at his place and asked him to wish again any thing. Then boy said "Please make visible to my wife because now she is my life." God fulfilled his wish by giving good face to her and then they lived happily

Where there is a will there is a way
An old man lived alone in a village. He wanted to spade his potato
garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped
him, was in prison.
The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:
Dear Son,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant
my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden, because
your mother always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old to be
digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be
over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't in prison.
Love,
Dad
Shortly, the old man received this telegram: "For Heaven's sake, Dad,
don't dig up the garden!! That's where I buried the GUNS!!" At 4 a.m.
the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police
officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any
guns.
Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what
happened, and asked him what to do next.
His son's reply was: "Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad.. It's the
best I could do for you from here."
Moral:
NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO DO
SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART YOU CAN DO IT. IT IS THE THOUGHT THAT
MATTERS.. NOT WHERE YOU ARE OR WHERE THE PERSON IS ..

The Tramp (Shaggy Dog Warning)
There was this tramp. One cold winter's morning he was walking along
A country road, when he heard a cry for help from a nearby lake.
Without a moment's hesitation he ran out onto the ice and slipped and
Slided over to a little girl. He managed to pull her out without
Breaking the ice further and carried her back to the road. He took
Off his coat and wrapped her in it then began looking for a car to
Flag down.
Coincidentally the father drives up. "How can I ever thank you sir?"
He says after putting his daughter into the warmth of the limo. "Just
Name your price - I'm a wealthy man."
"Ah, well..." stammers the tramp, "... uh, I'm a little short of
Cash, perhaps you could help me out."
"Oh dear," says the father, "I don't carry much cash with me, I only
Have ten pounds - but come home with me and I'll get more from the
Safe."
"No! No!" says the tramp, "Why ten pounds is more money than I've
Seen in my whole life - that'll be plenty."
"Ten pounds," thinks the tramp, "I'm rich! I'm rich!" and off he goes
To the town to buy himself a holiday.
He finds a travel agent, walks in - much to the disgust of the staff
- and goes up to the desk. "I'll have one holiday please!"
"Ahem, which holiday would sir like?" asked the girl at the desk,
Forcing a smile.
"Oh, any holiday I don't mind, anything up to ten pounds," replies
The tramp.
"TEN POUNDS! You'll NEVER get a holiday for ten pounds," says the
Girl incredulously.
She goes into the back of the shop, and searches in the deepest,
Dustiest filing drawers she can find. There - to her amazement - she
Finds an old file.
"Well you'll never believe it," she says to the tramp, back in the
Shop. "I've got you a holiday - its a super-duper, ultra-hyper, mega-
Economy class round the world cruise - and it costs ten pounds."
"Yippee!" exclaims the tramp, "I'll take it!"
A few days later he arrives at the port, and there in the dock is the
Most beautiful, most elaborately decorated, most expensive looking
Ocean-going liner he has ever seen.
"Get off my ship ye dirty bum!" shouts a voice, and an irate captain
Storms down the gangplank and kicks the tramp down onto the dockside.
"But I've got my ticket!", responds the tramp, "super-duper, ultra-
Hyper, mega-economy class, and I want on!"
"Well okay," says the captain, "but you can't come on just now, I
Don't want my first-class passengers seeing you. Come back at
Midnight when it's dark and I'll let you on then."
So the tramp finds himself a quiet spot among some cargo cases on the
Dockside, and he falls asleep.
"Psst," says a voice, waking him with a start. It was the captain.
"Hurry up, it's midnight, let's get you to your cabin."
The tramp toddles after the captain, along the dockside, up the
Gangway, and onto the ship - and what a ship!
First they went down through the first class level: Oriental carpets
- 6" pile. A genuine Rembrandt on every wall. Leave your shoes
Outside for cleaning, and the steward brings a new pair. 24 ct gold
Trim everywhere.
Then the second class: As above, but perhaps the carpets were only 3"
Deep, and so on...
3rd, 4th, 5th class, down past the casinos, and the ballrooms, down
Through the crew's quarters, down through the galleys, and the engine
Rooms, until finally, at the lowest point in the ship, against the
Very hull, the captain opens a watertight door into a tiny 7' x 4'
Cabin, with a hammock, a bedside table, and an alarm clock.
"Sheer luxury!" exclaimed the tramp, "A room of my very own."
"I'm glad you like it," replies the captain, "but there is one more
Thing... Your class of ticket only allows you to use the facilities
Of the ship, at night - when all the other passengers are asleep. So
that's what the alarm clock is for. Enjoy your cruise."
Well the cruise began, and the tramp had a whale of a time. Sleeping
By day, and up on deck at night - he loved it. One-man-tennis, clay
Pigeon shooting, more food than he'd ever seen...
Then one morning, a week or so into the cruise, the tramp decided
He'd have a go on the diving board of the pool. He had just enough
Time for one dive before he had to go below.
He climbed up the ladder, stepped onto the board tip, bounced, and
Dived...
.. and what a dive...!
Perfectly poised in the air, he hit the water without so much as a
Ripple.
Now unknown to him, the captain - who'd grown rather fond of the poor
Old tramp - was standing watching this.
"That was amazing!" exclaimed the captain, "Where did you learn to
Dive like that?"
"Um, well I've never actually dived before," replied the tramp.
"Well that's incredible!" says the captain, "I've never seen..." He
Broke off. "Hey, I've got an idea", he started again. "How would you
Like to train a bit, and we'll put on a show for the other
Passengers. I'll pay you, and you can then afford to go first class!"
"It's a deal!" says our man. For the next 3 weeks the tramp practices
Like he's never practiced before. Back-flips, front-flips, triple-
Back sideways axled dives, you name it he tried it.
Then one morning the captain comes to talk. "Okay, I'd like you to
Stay in your cabin for the next 2 days. We're going to erect a high
Diving board for you."
"Okay," agreed the tramp.
Two days passed, and the big day arrived. The ship was humming with
Excitement. Everyone wanted to see the mystery diver. The captain had
Provided the tramp with a new pair of swimming trunks and he wore
These as he stepped out onto the sun-beaten deck. Gasps of
Astonishment from the crowd, and a hushed awe. Higher than the eye
Could see, towering up and up, rose a slender column of metal.
"Well, tramp," said the captain, shaking his hand, "Let's see what
You can do." And with that the Captain handed him a walkie talkie.
And the tramp began to climb...
Up and up...
Below him the ship grew smaller...
On and on...
Past a solitary albatross...
And still higher...
Till the ship was but a speck on the ocean below...
And on still further...
/ till the ocean grew dim...
And the earth itself...
Began to shrink...
Past our moon...
And on...
And Mars...
And on...
Higher, and higher...
Through the asteroid belt...
And on and on towards the diving board...
Past the outer planets, until...
On the outermost reaches of the Solar System...
He reached the board.
He climbed on top and radioed the captain...
And then...
.' '.
. .
. .
He jumped.
.
.
.
.
: Slowly at first, : but speeding up, : : : faster, and faster, :
Speeding past Pluto, : and the other outer planets,
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Through the asteroid belt,
Past Mars,
And the moon,
Faster,
And faster,
Faster - ever faster,
And by now the earth was growing large in the distance, the oceans
And land masses grew clear,
Faster, and faster,
Past the albatross,
Double-back somersault,
And he could see the ship, tiny in the distance,
Hurtling down now, he posed, ready for the final 500 feet,
Down on the ship the crew strained their necks,
"I CAN SEE HIM!" yelled a passenger, "LOOK!!!"
The tramp streaked down towards the pool, did a last triple flip, and
Dove...
NOT A RIPPLE ON THE SURFACE!
DOWN THROUGH THE WATER!
SMASHED THROUGH THE POOL BOTTOM!
DOWN THROUGH THE FIRST DECK!
SMASHING THROUGH THE SECOND!
DOWN!
DOWN!
THROUGH THE CREW'S QUARTERS!
THROUGH THE ENGINE ROOMS!
SMASHING THROUGH HIS OWN LITTLE CABIN!
AND DOWN THROUGH THE DOUBLE-STRENGTH STEEL HULL OF THE SHIP!
STILL DOWN...!
DEEPER,
DEEPER INTO THE MURKY DEPTHS,
TILL.........
SMASH!
Into the sea bed, sinking a 37' shaft in the process.
Desperate for air he struggle out of the shaft, his lungs bursting he
Swam frantically for the surface.
Up and up, desperate, gasping...
Out of the water, up the ladder onto the deck of the ship, into a
Throng wild with acclaim.
"HERO!" "WONDERFUL!" "AMAZING!" "GOOD SHOW THAT!"
And handing him a heated towel the captain spoke, as a hush fell over
The crowd.
"Well tramp, I have NEVER seen anything like that, EVER. That was the
Most *STUPENDOUS* piece of diving I have ever seen."
The tramp blushed.
The captain went on, "but tell me, most amazing of all is how you
Survived smashing through this boat after you dived - how did you do
It."
And the tramp looked at the captain, and the crowd and replied
Modestly: "Well you see...
I'm a just poor tramp...
So you must understand...
I've been through many a hard ship in my life."

A Letter to god : A perfect example for indian tax structure
A little boy wanted Rs.50 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened.
Finally he decided to write God a letter requesting the Rs.50.
When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God, INDIA, they decided to forward it to the President of the India as a joke.
The President was so amused, that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy Rs.20.
The President thought this would appear to be a lot of money (Rs.50) to a little boy, and he did not want to spoil the kid.
The little boy was delighted with Rs.20, and decided to write a thank you note to God, which read:
"Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money. However, I noticed that you sent it through the Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi, and those donkeys deducted Rs.30 in taxes ... "

The perfect boss !
There were about 70 scientists working on a
very hectic project. All of them were really
frustrated due to the pressure of work and the
demands of their boss but everyone was loyal
to him and did not think of quitting the job.
One day, one scientist came to his boss and told
him - Sir, I have promised to my children that I
will take them to the exhibition going on in our
township. So I want to leave the office at 5 30 pm.
His boss replied "OK, You're permitted to leave
the office early today"
The Scientist started working. He continued his
work after lunch. As usual he got involved to such
an extent that he looked at his watch when he felt
he was close to completion.The time was 8.30 PM.
Suddenly he remembered of the promise he had
given to his children. He looked for his boss, He
was not there. Having told him in the morning
itself, he closed everything and left for home. Deep
within himself, he was feeling guilty for having
disappointed his children.He reached home.
Children were not there. His wife alone was sitting
in the hall and reading magazines.
The situation was explosive, any talk would
boomerang on him. His wife asked him "Would you
like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve
dinner if you are hungry.
The man replied "If you would like to have coffee,
i too will have but what about Children ??"
Wife replied "You don't know ?? Your manager
came here at 5.15 PM and has taken the children
to the exhibition "
What had really happened was ...
The boss who granted him permission was
observing him working seriously at 5.00 PM.
He thought to himself, this person will not leave
the work, but if he has promised his children they
should enjoy the visit to exhibition.
So he took the lead in taking them to exhibition
The boss does not have to do it everytime. But
once it is done, loyalty is established.
That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued
to work under their boss eventhough the stress
was tremendous.
By the way , can you hazard a guess as to who the
boss was..?
He was none other than
Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, Former-President of India . . ..

No one is Flaw less
A water bearer in China had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which he
carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always Delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the House, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments,Perfect for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was Ashamed of its own imperfection. And miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.
After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you. I have been able to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes Water to leak out all the way back to your house. Because of my Flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't get full value from your efforts," the pot said. The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw. So I
Planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you've watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house?
Moral: Each of us has our own unique flaws. We're all cracked pots. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are, and look for the good in them. Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.
Remember to appreciate all the different people in your life.

Interesting management stories-part II
It's a fine sunny day in the forest and a rabbit is sitting outside his burrow, tippy-tapping on his typewriter. Along comes a fox, out for a walk.
Fox: "What are you working on?"
Rabbit: "My thesis."
Fox: "Hmm... What is it about?"
Rabbit: "Oh, I'm writing about how rabbits eat foxes."
Fox: "That's ridiculous ! Any fool knows that rabbits don't eat foxes!
Rabbit: "Come with me and I'll show you!"
They both disappear into the rabbit's burrow. After few minutes, gnawing on a fox bone, the rabbit returns to his typewriter and resumes typing.
Soon a wolf comes along and stops to watch the hardworking rabbit.
Wolf: "What's that you are writing?"Rabbit: "I'm doing a thesis on how rabbits eat wolves."
Wolf: "you don't expect to get such rubbish published, do you?"Rabbit: "No problem. Do you want to see why?"
The rabbit and the wolf go into the burrow and again the rabbit returns by himself, after a few minutes, and goes back to typing. Finally a bear comes along and asks, "What are you doing?
Rabbit: "I'm doing a thesis on how rabbits eat bears."Bear: "Well that's absurd ! "
Rabbit: "Come into my home and I'll show you"
Scene :As they enter the burrow, the rabbit introduces the bear to the lion.
Moral:IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW SILLY YOUR THESIS TOPIC IS; WHAT MATTERS IS WHOM YOU HAVE AS A SUPERVISOR.

Interesting management stories-part I
It's a fine sunny day in the forest and a lion is sitting outside his cave, lying lazily in the sun. Along comes a fox, out on a walk.
Fox: "Do you know the time, because my watch is broken"
Lion: "Oh, I can easily fix the watch for you"
Fox: "Hmm... But it's a very complicated mechanism, and your big claws will only destroy it even more."
Lion: "Oh no, give it to me, and it will be fixed"
Fox: "That's ridiculous! Any fool knows that lazy lions with great claws cannot fix complicated watches"
Lion: "Sure they do, give it to me and it will be fixed"
The lion disappears into his cave, and after a while he comes back with the watch which is running perfectly. The fox is impressed, and the lion continues to lie lazily in the sun, looking very pleased with himself.
Soon a wolf comes along and stops to watch the lazy lion in the sun.
Wolf: "Can I come and watch TV tonight with you, because mine is broken"Lion: "Oh, I can easily fix your TV for you"
Wolf: "You don't expect me to believe such rubbish, do you? There is no way that a lazy lion with big claws can fix a complicated TV.
Lion: "No problem. Do you want to try it?"
The lion goes into his cave, and after a while comes back with a perfectly fixed TV. The wolf goes away happily and amazed.
Scene :Inside the lion's cave. In one corner are half a dozen small and intelligent looking rabbits who are busily doing very complicated work with very detailed instruments. In the other corner lies a huge lion looking very pleased with himself.
Moral :IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY A MANAGER IS FAMOUS; LOOK AT THE WORK OF HIS SUBORDINATES.
