Put The Glass down! (A Short Story)

Once A professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it.
He held it up for all to see; asked the students, "How much do you think this glass weighs?
'50gms!' ?....'100gms!' .....'125gms' ......the students answered.

'I really don't know unless I weigh it,' said the professor, 'but, my question is: What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?' "Nothing" the students said.

OK what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' the professor asked.
Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the students.
You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?' Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis; have to go to hospital for sure! ventured another student ; all the students laughed.

Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?
Asked the professor. No replied the students Then what caused the arm ache; the muscle stress?' Instead What should I do?
The students were puzzled. Put the glass down! said one of the students.
Exactly!' said the professor' Life's problems are something like this.
Hold it for a few minutes in your head; they seem OK. Think of them fora long time; they begin to ache. Hold it even longer; they begin to paralyze you.

You will not be able to do anything.

It's important to think of the challenges (problems) in your life, but Even MORE IMPORTANT to 'put them down' at the end of every day before you go to sleep.
That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh; strong;can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!
Remember everyday- PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!

The Obedient Wife ( A Short Funny Story)

There was a man who had worked all his life, had saved all of
his money, and was a real "miser" when it came to his money.

Just before he died, he said to his wife..."When I die, I want
you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I
want to take my money to the afterlife with me."

And so he got his wife to promise him, with all of her heart,
that when he died, she would put all of the money into the casket with him.

Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was
sitting there - dressed in black, and her friend was sitting next
to her. When they finished the ceremony, and just before the
undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait just a moment!"

She had a small metal box with her; she came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and they rolled it away. So her friend said,

"Girl, I know you were not fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband."
The loyal wife replied, "Listen, I cannot go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money into the casket with him."

You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!?!?!?"

"I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my account, and wrote him a check.... If he can cash it, then he can spend it."

खट्टी चटनी जैसी माँ / निदा फ़ाज़ली



बेसन की सोंधी रोटी पर खट्टी चटनी जैसी माँ ,
याद आता है चौका-बासन, चिमटा फुँकनी जैसी माँ ।

बाँस की खुर्री खाट के ऊपर हर आहट पर कान धरे ,
आधी सोई आधी जागी थकी दुपहरी जैसी माँ ।

चिड़ियों के चहकार में गूँजे राधा-मोहन अली-अली ,
मुर्गे की आवाज़ से खुलती, घर की कुंड़ी जैसी माँ ।

बीवी, बेटी, बहन, पड़ोसन थोड़ी-थोड़ी सी सब में ,
दिन भर इक रस्सी के ऊपर चलती नटनी जैसी मां ।

बाँट के अपना चेहरा, माथा, आँखें जाने कहाँ गई ,
फटे पुराने इक अलबम में चंचल लड़की जैसी माँ ।

The Empty Chair ( An Amazing Short Story)


A man's daughter had asked the local pastor to come and pray with her father. When the pastor arrived, he found the man lying in bed with his head propped up on two pillows and an empty chair beside his bed. The priest assumed that the old fellow had been informed of his visit. "I guess you were expecting me," he said.
"No, who are you?"
"I'm the new associate at your local church," the pastor replied. "When I saw the empty chair, I figured you knew I was going to show up."
"Oh yeah, the chair," said the bedridden man. "Would you mind closing the door?"
Puzzled, the pastor shut the door.
"I've never told anyone this, not even my daughter," said the man. "But all of my life I have never known how to pray. At church I used to hear the pastor talk about prayer, but it always went right over my head.."
"I abandoned any attempt at prayer," the old man continued, "until one day about four years ago my best friend said to me, 'Joe, prayer is just a simple matter of having a conversation with Jesus. Here's what I suggest. Sit down on a chair, place an empty chair in front of you, and in faith see Jesus on the chair. It's not spooky because he promised, 'I'll be with you always.' Then just speak to him and listen in the same way you're doing with me right now."

"So, I tried it and I've liked it so much that I do it a couple of hours every day. I'm careful, though. If my daughter saw me talking to an empty chair, she'd either have a nervous breakdown or send me off to the funny farm."
The pastor was deeply moved by the story and encouraged the old guy to continue on the journey. Then he prayed with him, and returned to the church.

Two nights later the daughter called to tell the pastor that her daddy had died that afternoon.
"Did he seem to die in peace?" he asked.

"Yes, when I left the house around two o'clock, he called me over to his bedside, told me one of his corny jokes, and kissed me on the cheek. When I got back from the store an hour later, I found him dead. But there was something strange, In fact, beyond strange--kinda weird. Apparently, just before Daddy died, he leaned over and rested his head on a chair beside the bed."

God Speak To Me ( A Short Story)


The man whispered, "God, speak to me." And a meadow lark sang. But, the man did not hear.

Then the man yelled "God, speak to me." Thunder rolled across the sky. But, the man did not listen..

The man looked around and said, "God, let me see you."And the stars shined brightly. But the man did not notice

And, the man shouted, "God, show me a miracle."And, a life was born. But the man did not know.

So, the man cried out in despair, "Touch me God, and let me know you are here." Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man. But, the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on.

So remember, don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect. Take notice of the blessings around you.

The Ugly Truth of High Petrol Prices in India

आखिर कांग्रेस तेल के पीछे का असली खेल जनता को क्यों नहीं बताती ??


हर एक डिबेट में कांग्रेस के नेता तेल की कीमतों के बढ़ोतरी को जायज ठहराते है और सरकार को हो रहे नुकसान का रोना रोते है .. लेकिन सरकार और कांग्रेस कब तक जनता को मुर्ख समझेगी ?
आज कच्चे तेल की कीमत है 90 डॉलर प्रति बैरेल यानि 25.50 रूपये प्रति लीटर
एक लीटर कच्चे तेल को रिफाइन करने का खर्च है .20 पैसे .
यानि सरकार को एक लीटर पेट्रोल की लगत आयी रूपये – 25.70
अब असली खेल यहाँ से शुरू होता है ..
सरकार कच्चे तेल पर 17 % इम्पोर्ट ड्यूटी लेती है . [केंद्र सरकार के खाते में जाता है ]
25.70 का 17 % = 30.06
13 % उत्पाद कर [एक्साइज ] [केंद्र सरकार के खाते में जाता है ]
30.06 + 13% = 34
पोर्ट टैक्स [ तेल के टेंकर से वसूला जाता है ] केन्द्र सरकार
१५०० डॉलर छोटे टेंकर से और २५००० डॉलर बड़े टेंकर से
एक लीटर पर करीब ३ % होगा
34 + 3% = 35.02
8 % रिफाइनरी मार्जिन टैक्स [केंद्र सरकार के खाते में जाता है ]
35.02 +8% = 37.82
8% से 12.5 % तक वैट [ राज्य सरकार ]
37.82+ 12.5% = 42.54
4 % से 8 % तक एडुकेशनल सेस [ राज्य सरकार ]
42.54+8% = 46
यानि सरकार एक लीटर पेट्रोल से २० रूपये पचीस पैसे पहले ही कमा लेती है .
फिर भी आज पेट्रोल 68 रूपये में बिक रहा है ..
असल में भारत में जो सरकारी तेल कम्पनिया है उनमे बहुत ही भ्रष्टाचार है ..
भारत पेर्टोलियम, इंडियन आयल , हिंदुस्तान पेट्रोलियम . तथा ओएनजीसी में पुरे विश्व में प्रति लीटर मार्जिन : प्रति कर्मचारी खर्च [ सेलेरी ] का अनुपात बहुत जयादा है ..
हर तेल कंपनी का 58 % केवल कर्मचारियो पर ही खर्च है .
ओएनजीसी के पास 8 जेट जहाज तथा 26 हेलिकॉप्टर है .. जिनका उपयोग मंत्री और नेता ही करते है .. एक आर टी आई से पता चला की जब आर पी एन सिंह पेट्रोलियम राज्य मंत्री थे तो उन्होंने सिर्फ १ साल में ही 37 बार ओएनजीसी के प्लेन से दिल्ली से अपने छेत्र पडरौना की यात्रा की .
आखिर कांग्रेस तेल के पीछे का असली खेल जनता को क्यों नहीं बताती ??

Congress party and Amar singh exposed in corruption case (A right prediction by VB Gupta)

Amar Singh had filed a petition in 2006 after some of his telephone conversations were illegally tapped and were in circulation. The leader had moved the apex court and got a restraint order against their publication in the media. In May 2011, the Supreme Court of India removed the stay on publishing the taped conversations with political leaders and Bollywood stars. In these tapes, Amar Singh can be heard discussing bribes and bending government policies to suit vested interests.

A Beautiful Nazm Written by GULZAR to his Mother

माँ (mother)

तुझे पहचानूंगा कैसे?
तुझे देखा ही नहीं

ढूँढा करता हूं तुम्हें
अपने चेहरे में ही कहीं

लोग कहते हैं
मेरी आँखें मेरी माँ सी हैं

यूं तो लबरेज़ हैं पानी से
मगर प्यासी हैं

कान में छेद है
पैदायशी आया होगा
तूने मन्नत के लिये
कान छिदाया होगा

सामने दाँतों का वक़्फा है
तेरे भी होगा
एक चक्कर 
तेरे पाँव के तले भी होगा

जाने किस जल्दी में थी
जन्म दिया, दौड़ गयी
क्या खुदा देख लिया था
कि मुझे छोड़ गयी

मेल के देखता हूं
मिल ही जाए तुझसी कहीं
तेरे बिन ओपरी लगती है
मुझे सारी जमीं

तुझे पहचानूंगा कैसे?
तुझे देखा ही नहीं

3 Kick Rule

A big city lawyer went duck hunting in Texas. When a flock of ducks flew over, the lawyer shot and dropped a duck. Unfortunately, the duck fell on the other side of a fence from where he stood.

As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly farmer drove up on his tractor and asked him what he was doing.

The litigator responded, ‘I shot a duck and it fell in this field, and now I’m going to retrieve it.’

The old farmer replied, ‘This is my property, and you are not coming over here.’

The indignant lawyer said, ‘I am one of the best trial attorneys in the United States and,

if you don’t let me get that duck, I’ll sue you and take everything you own.’
The old farmer smiled and said, ‘Apparently, you don’t know how we settle disputes in Texas.

We settle small disagreements with the ‘Three Kick Rule.”
The lawyer asked, ‘What is the ‘Three Kick Rule’?’

The Farmer replied, ‘Well, because the dispute occurs on my land, I get to go first.

I kick you three times and then you kick me three times and so on back and forth until someone gives up.’
The attorney quickly thought about the proposed contest and decided that he could easily take the old codger.

He agreed to abide by the local custom.
The old farmer slowly climbed down from the tractor and walked up to the attorney.

His first kick planted the toe of his heavy steel toed work boot into the lawyer’s groin and dropped him to his knees.

His second kick to the midriff sent the lawyer’s last meal gushing from his mouth.

The lawyer was on all fours when the farmer’s third kick to his rear end, sent him face -first into a fresh cow pie.

The lawyer summoned every bit of his will and managed to get to his feet.

Wiping his face with the arm of his jacket, he said, ‘Okay, you old fart. Now it’s my turn.’

The old farmer smiled and said, ‘Nah, I give up. You can have the duck.’

WHEN YOU ARE EDUCATED, YOU WILL BELIEVE ONLY HALF OF WHAT YOU HEAR……WHEN YOU ARE INTELLIGENT, YOU KNOW WHICH HALF.


A Beautiful Ghazal by Parveen Shakir


अक़्स-ए-ख़ुशबू हूँ, बिखरने से न रोके कोई
और बिखर जाऊँ तो, मुझ को न समेटे कोई

काँप उठती हूँ मैं सोच कर तन्हाई में
मेरे चेहरे पर तेरा नाम न पढ़ ले कोई

जिस तरह ख़्वाब हो गए मेरे रेज़ा-रेज़ा
इस तरह से, कभी टूट कर, बिखरे कोई

अब तो इस राह से वो शख़्स गुज़रता भी नहीं
अब किस उम्मीद पे दरवाज़े से झाँके कोई

कोई आहट, कोई आवाज़, कोई छाप नहीं
दिल की गलियाँ बड़ी सुनसान है आए कोई
