Salman's Clever Trick


Salman Khan got trapped by his own words uttered to a Pakistani TV channel. When I saw the exclusive report on news, I was surprised. If Salman is so clear about the non-involvement of Pakistani agencies in 26/11 terrorist attack, then why didn’t he say the same just after 26/11 to Indian Media? 



Things We Should Learn From Pakistan


Friends, I am not a supporter of Pakistan. But the way this country fools the whole world, we must appreciate that. What ever the allegations may be, this country handles those allegations in such a way that the whole world get convinced that Pakistan is clean & clear. Take the recent case of match fixing. Most of the Pakistani players and even some board members are involved in the fixing scandal. But, Pakistan says it is a conspiracy.

And soon became good friends.

Good use of useless fellows

Chingu was the only son of a rich man who had multiple businesses. His father wanted him to join his business, and sent him to his office to work under different mangers as a trainee. But, Chingu was so useless & lazy that all mangers found it ridiculous to work with him. All of them complained “Sir, your son sleeps all the day in office instead of working” and they gave up.

My dear love:

 






You are
The essence of my life,
Radiance of my eyes,
Princess of my dreams
& Queen of my heart,


Whom should we vote?

We all know that “No politicians want to serve the nation, instead of that they are being served by the nation”. They enjoy the VIP facilities and treatments. When, the poor remains poor for decades, a politician’s wealth increases year by year.

My views on Dynasty in Democracy

                Dynasty politics is now becoming a trend in our democratic system. The handover of government or party leadership from father to son or daughter, or spouse to spouse is common now days. Almost every political party is functioning around one family. Whether it’s Congress, Shiv Sena, or Laloo’s RJD the supreme leaders are belonged to one family.

What Ever My Brother Likes

 A very rich man died leaving his property entirely at the hands of his brother as the executor of the will. He left the will stating that his son was too young to manage the property and added, “What ever my brother likes let him give that to my son”. The clever brother wanted to take 900 acres of land for himself and give just 100 acres to his brother’s son.

My Grandfather Told Me A Story


Few years before, it was the time of summer holidays. I decided to go to our village to see my grand father there. Living there in the village with my grandfather and other relatives were always a good utilization of holidays for me. A village life is lot more different from urban livings. The simplicity and peace of life in a village is the reason why rural tourism is becoming popular in India.

Any way, I always feel lucky that I have my village where my grandfather lived. Most of my friends have no one in village, so that they have never been to there. Their conception about villages is there are backward areas with dirty roads, mud houses and uneducated people. For me villages are such a place where one can see and understand the nature better. The whole time I spent there I learnt some valuable morals of life.

My grandfather was a school teacher. He taught the neighborhood children in the evening in balcony of our village house. After completion of regular studies, grandfather used to narrate stories to the children, which I would never miss. One such story which I liked the most I am going to tell you.

A young man from a village completed his Graduation in Arts by giving tuition to the students near by his college hostel. As he was very poor, he struggled hard to complete his graduation. He was willing to go for further studies, but was unable to pay the academic dues. So, after completion he decided to job to make his ends meet. But, as an arts graduate he faced lots of difficulties to get a job. Thus, once he opted to go for an interview for a peon post in a company. Everything went good, but in the last round of talk he was asked for his Email-id which he had not any. So, he was disqualified just because of an email-id. He was a bit harassed, but didn’t give up. He planned that he would start a coaching center, as a full time work. He did so. After couple of years his dedication gave him the reward, he had 5 coaching centers in the city by then. Later he opened a residential school and soon his institution became a highly profitable organization.

He became famous as a successful businessman. He was counting his success by both his hands. Once, a press reporter wanted to take an interview of that businessman. The reporter interviewed him about his success. When concluding the interview, the reporter wanted the email-id of the businessman as a contact option. The businessman replied that he had not any email-id and he was not even using computers. The reporter exclaimed and asked the businessman how he could achieve all that success without having an email-id and computers. If I had an email-id I would have worked as peon in a company, the businessman replied with a smile.

This story had a great impact on me. I realized that one can achieve success with limited resources available to him. We all who are from upper middle and rich families live in a comfort zone. Our demands are fulfilled immediately. We always explain our failures by blaming resources or facilities we had. Without Computers, Internet, private coaching we feel like we are in a third world where learning and working is impossible to carry on. But, we mustn’t forget those people who have achieved success without any helping sources. There are students who secure more than 95% marks in exams. They belong to poor families where having a resource like a computer is out of question. Students having lots of textbooks and reference books secure miserable marks. But poor fellows unable to buy books secure higher marks just by going through the notes collected. So, from the day, I heard this story, which could be a fiction, but influenced me a lot. Now, I believe that if one has courage, dedication and passion for his work, he will certainly achieve success even with limited helping resources.

Essence of Bhagwad Gita

Why are you unnecessarily worrying? Whom do you fear? Who can kill you? Soul is not born nor does it die. What has happened has happened for the best. What is happening is happening for the best. What will happen, will happen for the best. Do not brood over the past. Do not worry about the future.

About Life

“Past Is a Load,
Future Is a Fraud,
Present Is the Lord”

Do you know what do the above lines mean? Simply, it says the value of time in our life. I.e. how we are serious about our present, how deeply we remember our past, how much we think about our future?


Can you describe what life is? Life is just like a drama, which has a start and an end. When we watch a movie in a theater we see the castings. Different movies have different castings. Similarly in this world different people have different stories of their childhoods. Some of them are very enjoyable and some of them are very pathetic. Let’s come to the topic what happens through out movie in a theater? As the story proceeds there happen some miracles, which change the life style of a character. Or there happen some disaster, which destroys the total structure of a family or makes someone a difference beyond humanity.

Way to Success

“Take up an idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, and live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.”

-Swami Vivekananda

Joy & Sorrow

One night in ancient times, three horsemen were riding across a desert. As they crossed the dry bed of a river, out of the darkness a voice called ‘Halt’. They obeyed. The voice told them to come off the horse, pick up a handful of pebbles, put the pebbles in their pockets, sit on their horses and move.

Unconditional Love

A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought with enemies.

He called his parents on phone from army head office. Mom and dad, I am coming home, but I have got a favour to ask. I have a friend I would like to bring with me. “Sure” they replied, “we would love to meet him”. There is something you should know, the son continued; he was hurt badly in the fighting. He stepped on landmine and lost an arm and a leg. He has no where else to go, and I want him to come and live with us.

Friend & Friendship

A true friend is:
A push when you are stopped,
A guide when you are searching,
A song when you are glad,
A word when you are lonely,
A smile when you are sad.

How Stock Market Works

A funny way to understand how stock market works…. read on to know

Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for Rs 10. The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.

The man bought thousands at Rs10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at Rs 20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.

Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to Rs 25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at Rs 50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.

In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at Rs 35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell it to him for Rs 50.

The villagers squeezed up with all their savings and bought all the monkeys.

Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!!!

Welcome to the ‘Stock’ Market!!!!!

Rule Over Yourself

One day King Alexander was walking along a road in his territory. Accidentally he brushed against a very old man. Who are you? Alexander asked when the two came to halt. I am the king, old man answered. “A king?” echoed Alexander. Over what kingdom do you rule?



“Over myself” was the proud reply. “I rule myself because I control myself. I am my own subject to command”. All of us can be kings in the sense of the old man’s words. But how many of us actually are? Instead of being in command, often we allow ourselves to be ruled over by the tyrant of temper or laziness or passion. We cannot hope to influence others if we are not “ourselves”. And we can only be ourselves by controlling ourselves.
