Once upon a time
there was a wise man who
used to go to
the sea shore
to do his
journal writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his
work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he
saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself to think of
someone who would dance to the day. So he began to walk faster to catch
up.

As
he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't
dancing,

But
instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and
very gently throwing it into the ocean.
                           

As
he got closer he called out, "Hey! What are you doing?"
                                                        

The
young man paused, looked up and replied, "Throwing starfish in the ocean."

"I
guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the
ocean?"

"The
sun is up, and the tide is going out. And if I don't throw them in they'll
die."

"But,
young man, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach, and
starfish all along it.

You
can't possibly make a difference!"

 The
young man listened politely.                                                                                                                         
                                                      
 

Then
bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the
breaking waves and said,

"It
made a difference for that one."

Thought 1

When we are born, our mothers get the
compliments and the flowers.
When we are married, our brides get the
presents and the publicity.
When we die, our widows get the life
insurance.
What do women want to be liberated from?

Thought 2

The average man's life consists of :

Twenty years of having his mother ask him where he is going,
Forty years
of having his wife ask the same question;
and at the end, the mourners
wondering too.

Thought 3

A man was walking down a street when he
heard a voice from behind, "If you take one more step, a brick will fall down on
your head and kill you." The man stopped and a big brick fell right in front of
him. The man was astonished.
He went on, and after a while he was going to
cross the road. Once again the voice shouted, "Stop! Stand still! If you take
one more step a car will run over you, and you will die." The man did as he was
instructed, just as a car came careening around the corner, barely missing
him.
The man asked. "Who are you?"
"I am your guardian angel," the voice
answered.
"Oh, yeah?" the man asked "And where the hell were you when I got
married?"

Thought 4 - This is the best!!!

Everyone in the wedding ceremony was
watching the radiant bride as her father escorted her down the aisle to give
away to the groom.
They reached the altar and the waiting groom; the bride
kissed her father and placed some thing in his hand.
Everyone in the room was
wondering what was given to the father by the bride. The father could feel the
suspense in the air and all eyes were on him to divulge the secret and say
something.
So he announced "Ladies and Gentlemen today is the luckiest day of
my life." Then he raised his hands with what his daughter gave him and
continued, "My daughter finally, finally returned my credit card to me."
The
whole audience including priest started laughing.... but not the poor
groom!

Whenever I find the key to success, someone
changes the lock.



 

Rohit wakes up at home with a huge hangover. He forces himself to open his
eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water
on the side table.



 



He
sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. Rohit
looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotless, clean. So
is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table.
"Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to go shopping. Love You!" So he
goes to the kitchen and sure enough there is a hot breakfast and the morning
newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating.



 




Rohit asks, "Son, what happened last night?" His son says, "Well,
you came home around 3 AM, drunk and delirious. Broke some furniture, puked in
the hallway, and gave yourself a black eye when you stumbled into the door".




 




Confused, Rohit asks, "So, why is everything in order and so
clean, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me? I should expect a big
quarrel with her!"





His son
replies, "Oh, that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take
your clothes n shoes off, you said, "Lady leave me alone! I'm married!!!!"




Moral

Self-induced hangover -- Rs. 2000.00

Broken furniture
-- Rs. 20, 000.00

Breakfast -- Rs. 100.00

Saying The Right Thing While
Drunk  - PRICELESS



 



 

 

 

This was the Day.
Tony had been waiting for this day for his entire life.
He had his share of sorrow all through his life but now the moment waited him
which would change his life forever. He was 22 and had seen so much in these
years. He never knew what a mother's warmth was. She died giving birth to him.
Soon after her death his Dad started seeing other women. Tony hailed from a very
rich and prestigious family with generations having served the poor through the
medical fraternity. Everyone was a doctor or a PHD but not his dad. His dad
didn't take up the medical profession, in fact never tried to earn a penny.



Tony had a lonely childhood until Jane entered his life.
He could still remember the day when Jane moved to his neighbourhood.He had
found a true fried in her. Jane's company covered all his sorrows, he stated
smiling, laughing and more importantly enjoying his life. And now he was going
to ask her to marry him. This was his last day of college and he had been
preparing for this moment for a while now. He had visualized the scene a hundred
times in his dreams." Will you marry me Miss Jane?" He had memorized this simple
plain line.

As he was waiting for Jane in his garden he heard Uncle
Jack calling him. Uncle Jack was the one who looked after him for all these
years. Mr. Jack was a Psychologist. He was very dear to Tony. "Can I speak to
you for some time, Tony?" "Now? Actually Uncle ..." Before Tony could complete
his statement uncle jack said "Tony this is really very important. I always
wanted to speak to you about this but was afraid. Now you are older and you will
be able to understand..."

"What is it all about..." Tony asked with a tensed
voice. "Not here... Let's go inside the living room and will have a talk there"
Tony followed Uncle Jack into the cottage. Tony was very anxious and nervous. He
had never seen his Uncle this way. "Tony before I talk to u about it please
promise me you won't panic and whatever happens always remember that I am with
you." "God! You are making me too nervous. Tell me uncle jack what is it about".
Tony wanted to get through this as early as possible. "Jane must be waiting for
me" he thought.

"Tony you need to keep your calm. Know it will be very
tough for you to understand..Tony, remember the day when you told me about Jane
moving to the cottage next to ours?"

"Is it about Jane...?" he shrieked, his heart was
pumping fast...

"Listen Tony There is no one living in that cottage for
years now..."

"whhhat ?? How's that possible I have been there myself
so many times....what are you talking about? I just can't understand"


"Please listen Tony. You were alone those days and were
very upset with life. You didn't have friends then...You went through lot of
things...You wanted to be happy but were unable to you didn't had anyone to talk
to" Uncle jack moved closer to Tony and put his hand on Tony's shoulder. "And in
such situations your brain plays bad games with you. You started imagining Jane
as your friend...There is no Jane; Tony you are just imagining her..."


"Just just just imagining her...how can you say that
...I have touched her even kissed her cheeks. It's you who are crazy and not
me..."

"Tony I know it's hard to believe this. But it's the
truth. I always wanted to tell you this but you were too small to understand..."
"No that's not possible.....you are lying ..." "No son it's your own mind lying
you...please Tony keep your cool everything will be fine ...just trust me"


Tony rushed away from the living room. He ran to meet
Jane in the Garden. But no one was there. He went to Jane's house hoping to find
her there...he tried ringing the door bell but it didn't rang and how would it?
The place was locked for 17 years now. He entered the Cottage through a broken
window.Eveything was deserted. The sofa on which he and Jane sat chatting for
hours was covered with layers of dust...

He was almost crying now...he moved to the terrace to
find the rose plant they planted together. There was nothing only some rusted
furniture and dust. He went back Uncle Jack. "Son, I am sorry but you need to
get out of this..." Tony couldn't believe what had happened to him. The girl who
he loved the most and wanted to marry didn't exist. She was fake, a thought, and
a piece of imagination....

It took around a month for him to digest his fate. He
was finally recovering. And that day before going to sleep he took those tablets
which he took for last 15 years. He always wondered why Uncle Jack kept giving
him those tablets. Now he knew the answer. He was sick. Sick mentally.


As he was about to sleep he heard a knock on his door.


It was Jane.

"Jane you cant be here...you don't exist..."


"What's that? Is this some kind of Joke, Tony? I came
here to say sorry. I had to leave that day without informing you because my mom
died in a car accident...I tried to reach you but somehow I was not able to..."


"Noooo! this is not true" said Tony. "There is no one
called Jane in my life...I know that now...Just get away from me... "


"Whats the matter with you Tony? I am Jane your
sweetheart your love..."

"No that's not true...." Tony closed his eyes for a
moment hoping his dream would end....

Jane held his hand....Tony was shivering he could feel
the touch.His brain was playing Bad games with him he knew it.

"Come here my baby you are not well...you need some
rest"

"Go away from me ...just go..." Tony was breathing high
now...He tried keeping his cool and took a deep breath. He knew this would be
over once he convinced himself that there was no Jane.

"Jane you are my imagination...I made you..."


"Tony you can't hurt me ...you love me so much ...we had
such a great time together"

"No Jane, I had a great time with myself..." What am I
talking! I am going nuts..

He rushed into the kitchen. He came back with water all
over his shirt... He could still see Jane standing there...weeping.


He was well aware of the bad games of the Brain now. He
went closer to her... "Jane i made you ...now i will destroy you..." Zap zap
zap... three stabs...Jane was bleeding... Tony could feel the red liquid ...bad
brain games he thought...


"Uncle Jack. Where are you? I am cured now. There will
be no Jane from now on...where are you Uncle Jack?"

"There is no Uncle Jack. I wanted to tell you this...
All these days..." Jane gasped.

Breathing her last breath. ....

We all know this one
One day a man was having a conversation with God when
his whole life flashed before his eyes as a series of footsteps on the sands of
time. He saw that there were two pairs of footprints, but during
the most difficult periods of his life there were only one set of footprints. He
asked God "You said you will be with me throughout this journey, but why have
you deserted me during the most critical times of my life??" to which God
answered "Son, I did not desert you, I was always with you...you see only one
set of footprints because during those difficult times in your life, I was
carrying you in my hands"

Another day I was having a similar conversation with my
Project Manager (PM) when my whole project flashed before my eyes as a series of
footsteps on the sands of time. I saw that there were two pairs of footprints,
but during the most difficult times in the project there were only one set of
footprints. I asked my PM "You said you will be with me throughout the project,
but why have you deserted me during the most critical times of the project??" to
which the PM answered "Son, I did not desert you, I was always with you...you
see only one set of footprints because during those difficult times, I was
sitting on your head!!"

Words
Women Use



Fine


This is the word women use to end an
argument when they are right andyou need to
shut up.



Five
Minutes

If she is getting dressed, this is
half an hour.

Five minutes is only
five minutes if you have just been given 5
more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.




Nothing

This is the
calm before the storm. This means "something" and you should be on your toes.
Arguments that begin with "nothing" usually end in "fine".




Go Ahead

This is a
dare, not permission, DON'T DO IT!



Loud Sigh


Although not actually a word, the loud
sigh is often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an
idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you
over "Nothing".



That's
Okay

This is one of the most dangerous statements that woman
can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard
before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.




Thanks

This is the
least used of all words in the female vocabulary. If a woman is thanking you, do
not question it, just say you're welcome and back out of the room slowly.







BEHIND
EVERY SUCCESSFUL WOMANIS HERSELF 







AWOMAN IS LIKE
A TEA BAG...

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW
STRONG

SHE IS UNTIL YOU PUT
HER

IN HOT WATER

 



COFFEE,
CHOCOLATE, MEN.

SOME
THINGS ARE JUSTBETTER
RICH 



WARNING: I HAVE AN ATTITUDE

AND I KNOW HOWTO
USE IT 



OF COURSE I DON'T
LOOK BUSY...

I DID IT RIGHTTHE FIRST TIME











And last but not least: 





IF YOU
WANT BREAKFAST IN BED,

SLEEP IN THE
KITCHEN

 

 A LOVELY
MESSAGE.
A boy was born to a couple after eleven years
of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes.
When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine
bottle open. He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and
keep it in the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the
matter.

The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle
fascinated by its color and drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine
meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed the mother hurried
him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified
how to face her husband.

When the distraught father came to the hospital
and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just five
words.


QUESTIONS
:
1. What were the five
words ?
2. What is the implication of this story?

ANSWER :

The husband just said
"I am with you
Darling"

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive
behavior.
The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is
no point in finding fault with the mother.
Besides, if only he had taken time
to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened.
No one is to be
blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was
consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.

If
everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much
fewer problems in the world. "
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a
single step.
Take off all your envies, jealousies,unforgiv eness,
selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are actually not as difficult
as you
think.

MORAL OF THE
STORY
This story is really worth reading. ..... Sometimes we spend
time in asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship,
in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out something.
