Once upon a time there was a rich King who had four wives.



He loved the 4th wife the most and adored her with rich robes and treated

her to the finest of delicacies. He gave her nothing but the best.

He also loved the 3rd wife very much and was always showing her off to

neighboring kingdoms. However, he feared that one day she would leave him

for another.

He also loved his 2nd wife. She was his confidant and was always kind,

considerate and patient with him. Whenever the King faced a problem, he

could confide in her, and she would help him get through the difficult

times.



The King's 1st wife was a very loyal partner and had made great

contributions in maintaining his wealth and kingdom. However, he did not

love the first wife. Although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice

of her!



One day, the King fell ill and he knew his time was short. He thought of

his luxurious life and wondered, I now have four wives with me, but when

I die, I'll be all alone.'



Thus, he asked the 4th wife , 'I loved you the most, endowed you with the

finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will

you follow me and keep me company?'

'No way!', replied the 4th wife, and she walked away without another word.

Her answer cut like a sharp knife right into his heart.



The sad King then asked the 3rd wife, 'I loved you all my life. Now that

I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?'

'No!', replied the 3rd wife. 'Life is too good! When you die, I'm going to

remarry!'

His heart sank and turned cold.



He then asked the 2nd wife, 'I have always turned to you for help and

you've always been there for me.

When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?'

'I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!', replied the 2nd wife. 'At the

very most, I can only walk with you to your grave.'



Her answer struck him like a bolt of lightning, and the King was

devastated.



Then a voice called out: 'I'll go with you. I'll follow you no matter where

you go.'

The King looked up, and there was his first wife. She was very skinny as

she suffered from malnutrition and neglect.



Greatly grieved, the King said, 'I should have taken much better care of

you when I had the chance!'



In truth, we all have the 4 wives in our lives:



Our 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in

making it look good, it will leave us when we die.



Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth.When we die, it will all

go to others.



Our 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how much they have been

there for us, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.



And our 1st wife is our
Soul. Often neglected in pursuit of wealth, power

and pleasures of the world.



However, our Soul is the only thing that will follow us where ever we go.

Cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now, for it is the only part of us

that will follow us and continue with us throughout Eternity until we

attain Moksh.



Thought for the day:

Remember, when the world pushes you to your knees, you're in the perfect

position to pray .



Pass this on to someone you care about - I just did.



Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It means you've decided to

see beyond the imperfections that exist in our imperfect world. It's also

called maturity.



"If You desire to blossom like a rose in the garden, you have to learn

the art of adjusting with the thorns"

Have a great day…….

*Please read this article by giving 10 minutes from your busy life. Really good.... ** *
* The President of India DR. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam 's Speech in Hyderabad .. *



Why is the media here so negative?
Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our
Achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success

Stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?
We are the first in milk production.
We are number one in Remote sensing satellites.
We are the second largest producer of wheat.
We are the second largest producer of rice.

Look at Dr. Sudarshan , he has transferred the tribal village into a
Self-sustaining, self-driving unit. There are millions of such achievements
But our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters. I

Was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the
Day
After a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The
Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a

Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an orchid
And a granary.   It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The
Gory details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the

Newspaper, buried among   other news.

In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime. Why are we so
NEGATIVE? Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign
Things? We want foreign T. Vs, we want foreign shirts. We want foreign

Technology.

Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that
Self-respect comes with self-reliance? I was in Hyderabad giving this
Lecture,
When a 14 year old girl asked me for my autograph. I asked her what her goal

In life is. She replied: I want to live in a developed India .   For her,
You and I will have to build this developed India . You must proclaim. India
Is not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed   nation. Do you

Have 10 minutes? Allow me to come back with a vengeance.

Got 10 minutes for your country? If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is
Yours.
YOU say that our government is inefficient.
YOU say that our laws are too old.

YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.
YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke,
The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination.
YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.


YOU say, say and say. What do YOU do about it?
Take a person on his way to Singapore . Give him a name - YOURS. Give him a
Face - YOURS. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International
Best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in

The stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are. You pay
$5 (approx. Rs. 60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim
Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking

Lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or
A shopping mall irrespective of your status identity... In Singapore you
Don't say anything, DO YOU? YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during

Ramadan, in Dubai . YOU would not dare to go out without your head covered
In Jeddah . YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange
In London at 10 pounds ( Rs.650) a month to, 'see to it that my STD and ISD

Calls are billed to someone else.'YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph
(88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop,
'Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?). I am so and so's son.

Take your two bucks and get lost.' YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut shell
Anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New India ?

Once in an interview, the famous Ex-municipal commissioner of Bombay , Mr.

Tinaikar , had a point to make. 'Rich people's dogs are walked on the
streets to leave their affluent droppings all over the place,' he said. 'And
then the same people turn around to criticize and blame the

authorities for inefficiency and dirty pavements. What do they expect the
officers to do? Go down with a broom every time their dog feels the pressure
in his bowels?
In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job.

Same in Japan . Will the Indian citizen do that here?' He's right. We go to
the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility.
We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do

everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the
government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all
over the place nor are we going to stop to pick a up a stray piece of paper

and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms
but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms.
We want Indian Airlines and Air America to bask in their
glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to

England . When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out
to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and
brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape

the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is
mortgaged to money.

Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a great
deal of introspection and pricks one's conscience too.... I am echoing J. F.

Kennedy 's words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians.....

'ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA
AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA
WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY'


Lets do what India needs from us.

Forward this mail to each Indian for a change instead of sending Jokes or
junk mails.

Thank you,

Dr. Abdul Kalaam



I humbly request you to forward this to every Indian........ .......... ......... ....

Jokes :

All the organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was
the one in charge.

"I should be in charge," said the brain ,
"Because I run all the body's systems, so without me nothing would
happen."

"I should be in charge," said the blood ,

"Because I circulate oxygen all over so without me you'd all waste
away."

"I should be in charge," said the stomach,"

Because I process food and give all of you energy."

"I should be in charge," said the legs,

"because I carry the body wherever it needs to go."

"I should be in charge," said the eyes,

"Because I allow the body to see where it goes."

"I should be in charge," said the rectum

"Because I'm responsible for waste removal."

All the other body parts laughed at the rectum

And insulted him, so in a huff, he shut down tight.

Within a few days,

the brain had a terrible headache,

the stomach was bloated,

the legs got wobbly,

the eyes got watery,

and the blood Was toxic.

They all decided that the rectum should be the boss.

The Moral of the story?

The asshole is usually in charge !!

7 ways to catch a lion



7 ways to catch a lion.



1. Newton's Method:

Let, the lion catch you.

For every action there is equal and opposite reaction.

Implies you caught lion .



2. Einstein Method:

Run in the direction opposite to that of the lion.

Due to higher relative velocity, the lion will also

run faster and will get tired soon.

Now you can trap it easily.



3. Schrodinger Method:

At any given moment, there is a positive probability

that lion to be in the cage.

So set the trap, sit down and wait!



4. Inverse Transformation Method

We place a spherical cage in the forest

and enter it.

Perform an inverse transformation with

respect to lion.

Lion is in and we are out.



5. Thermodynamic Procedure:

We construct a semi-permeable membrane which allows

every thing to pass it except lions.

Then sweep the entire forest with it.



6. Integration Differention Method:

Integrate the forest over the entire area.

The lion is some where in the result.

So differentiate the result PARTIALLY w.r.t lion

to trace out the lion.



7. The Banta's Method:

DON'T EVEN TRY. YOU'LL GET CAUGHT BY THE LION. 

IT developer in projects



Five cannibals (Man eaters) get appointed as programmers in an IT company.

During the welcoming ceremony the boss says: "You're all part of our team

now. You can earn good money here, and you can go to the company canteen

for something to eat. So don't trouble the other employees". The cannibals


promise not to trouble the other employees.



Four weeks later the boss returns and says: "You're all working very

hard, and I'm very satisfied with all of you. One of our developers has

disappeared however. Do any of you know what happened to her?" The

cannibals disown all knowledge of the missing developer. After the boss

has left, the leader of the cannibals says to the others: "Which of you

idiots ate the developer?"



One of the cannibals raises his hand hesitantly, to which the leader of

the cannibals says: "You FOOL! For four weeks we've been eating team

leaders, managers, and project managers and no-one has noticed anything,

and now YOU ate one developer and it got noticed. So hereafter please

don't eat a person who is working." 

One day all the employees reached the office and they saw a big advice 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 the 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 limiting 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
 
Live with passion

Just for laughs

Sir Ernest Rutherford, President of the Royal Academy, and recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics, related the following story:

Some time ago I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physics question, while the student claimed a perfect score. The instructor and the student agreed to an impartial arbiter, and I was selected. I read the examination question:

"Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer."

The student had answered: "Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of the rope is the height of the building."

The student really had a strong case for full credit since he had really answered the question completely and correctly! On the other hand, if full credit were given, it could well contribute to a high grade in his physics course and certify competence in physics, but the answer did not confirm this.

I suggested that the student have another try. I gave the student Six minutes to answer the question with the warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. At the end of five minutes, he hadn't written anything. I asked if he wished to give up, but he said he had many answers to this problem; he was just thinking of the best one.

I excused myself for interrupting him and asked him to please go 0.5*a*t^2, calculate the height of the building."

At this point, I asked my colleague if he would give up. He conceded, and gave the student almost full credit. While leaving my colleague's office, I recalled that the student had said that he had other answers to the problem, so I asked him what they were.

"Well," said the student, "there are many ways of getting the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer. For example, you could take the barometer out on a sunny day and measure the height of the barometer, the length of its shadow, and the length of the shadow of the building, and by the use of simple proportion, determine the height of the building."

"Fine," I said, "and others?"

"Yes," said the student, "there is a very basic measurement method you will like. In this method, you take the barometer and begin to walk up the stairs. As you climb the stairs, you mark off the length of the barometer along the wall. You then count the number of marks, and this will give you the height of the building in barometer units. A very direct method."

"Of course. If you want a more sophisticated method, you can tie the barometer to the end of a string, swing it as a pendulum, and determine the value of g [gravity] at the street level and at the top of the building. From the difference between the two values of g, the height of the building, in principle, can be calculated."

"On this same tack, you could take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to just above the street, and then swing it as a pendulum. You could then calculate the height of the building by the period of the precession".

"Finally," he concluded, "there are many other ways of solving the problem. Probably the best," he said, "is to take the barometer to the basement and knock on the superintendent's door. When the superintendent answers, you speak to him as follows: 'Mr. Superintendent, here is a fine barometer. If you will tell me the height of the building, I will give you this barometer.'"

At this point, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.

The student was Niels Bohr (1885-1962), Danish Physicist, Nobel-Prize winner in 1922, best known for proposing the first 'model' of the atom with protons & neutrons, and various energy states of the surrounding electrons--the familiar icon of the small nucleus circled by three elliptical orbits ... but more significantly, an innovator in Quantum Theory.
