For all those despot’s who want to quit their job, here's a good reason why...
Two camels (a mother and a baby) were lazing around, when suddenly baby camel said.
Baby: "mother, mother, can I ask you some question?"
Mother: "sure! why son, is there something bothering you?"
Baby: "why do camel have humps?"
Mother: "well son, we are desert animals, we need the humps to store water and we are known to survive without water."
Baby: "okay, then why are our legs long and our feet rounded."
"Son, obviously they are meant for walking in the desert. You know with these legs I can move around the desert better than anyone", said the mother proudly.
Baby: "okay," "then why are our eye lashes long? Sometimes it is bothering my sight." said baby camel.
Mother: "my son, those long thick eye lashes are your protective cover. They help to protect your eyes from the desert sand and wind." Said mother camel with eyes brimming with pride.
Baby: "I see. So the hump is to store water when we are in the desert, the legs are for walking through the desert and these eyelashes protects my eyes from the desert. Then what the hell are we doing here in a zoo???
The Moral of the Story:
Skills, Knowledge, Abilities and Experience are only useful if the management gives the right oppurtunity!!

This day is a gift..Don't waste it !
I asked God to take away my habit.
God said, No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, No. His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned.
I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, No. I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.
I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares
And brings you closer to me.
I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No. You must grow on your own! ,
But I will prune you to make you fruitful.
I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No. I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.
I ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.

The Hare and Tortoise..from a new perspective !
The Hare & Tortoise Story - In A New Perspective !!!!
Retelling the familiar hare and tortoise story, as a lesson for survival in today's context.
A hare and a tortoise live in a city called Ahmedabad in India. They are good friends and like all good friends, sometimes have a dig at each other. One day, in a light mood the hare ridiculed the tortoise for his slow pace. The tortoise reacted by challenging the hare for a race between Paldi to Navarangpura. On the appointed day and time the two assemble at the starting line and start the race. The hare dashes off the start line like a flash. After crossing the midway mark, he feels that a short nap would do no harm. The short nap turned out to be a bit too long. Meanwhile the tortoise crosses the hare and reaches the destination. The hare wakes from the slumber, oblivious of the time, and dashes off towards the finish. To his dismay he finds the tortoise having a nap at the finish line. The moral of the story is 'Slow and steady wins the race.' The story does not end here.....
The hare goes home and soon understands that complacency and overconfidence were the reasons of his defeat. He vows not to repeat the mistake again. He then invites the tortoise for another race. The tortoise agrees to his friend's request. They meet at the appointed day and time at the starting point. The race starts. This time the hare dashes off to the finishing line without taking a break and wins the race comfortably. The moral of the story is 'Fast and steady wins the race'. The story does not end here.....
The tortoise goes home and thinks hard. He was aware that the hare cannot be defeated in speed. He then ponders over his core competence. At last he finds a solution and invites the hare to another race. This time the course is changed. It is from Paldi to Airport. The hare agrees. At the appointed day and time the two meet at the start line and the race begins. The hare dashes off like a flash. Soon he arrives at the banks of river Sabarmati and is overwhelmed by a sense of dejection as he did not know how to swim. The tortoise comes to the bank , looks at the hare with sympathy and coolly gets into the water. He swims to the other side goes to the airport and comes back. The moral of the story is 'Core competence wins the race.' But the story does not end here.....
Both the friends decide it was enough of racing against each other. Why not think hard and find a way by which they together could travel from Paldi to airport at the minimum possible time. At the end of a brain storming session they come out with a solution and decide to try out the next morning. At the appointed time they meet at the starting line. The tortoise sits on the back of the hare. The hare dashes off form Paldi to the banks of sabarmati. There the hare gets on the back of the tortoise and the tortoise swiftly crosses the river. On reaching the other side the tortoise again sits on the back of the hare. The hare runs as fast as he can to the airport. Thus they both reach airport in the fastest possible time. The moral of the story is 'Innovation and team work wins the race'

The other side of life..
I have always seen life as an hour glass..flowing by your hand and you just can't stop it going by it's own pace..
The other side of life...
Wake up! Says a positive person. There’s no light,no way to get out! says the negative...
People with different perspectives are indeed in approach towards something or the other in life.
If a person thinks he is intellectual, he’s mistaken .In fact, he is closed intellectually. Different people have different stands on this issue.
For instance, some people think and have a perception that this world is permanent and would never destroy, and that the life here is the only one which exists. The reality is different from what those people think. Now, that reality is projected in various ways by many cultures, religions and civilizations. And then the problems arises... some stick to their point and try to persuade their way of thinking to others and there is always a clash.
Clash of ideas generally leads to religious, caste clashes which are havoc in society. Sometimes the oppressed try to vent out their frustration, anger by violence... Resulting in utter chaos of lives. This might be the major cause of concern for society where honesty, integrity matters for people. There is a dire need of change in perception of people and should work on an urgent basis. Many efforts have been made and are indeed needed. “Ego” is a three letter word which people should shed from their lives.
There is no remedy/energy other than happiness which we exist here for and that is explained directly or indirectly in all religions except that people contemplate them to hatred for their own greed and deed and needs...so on and so forth!
