Indian Hell…..
There he finds that there is a different hell for each country.
He goes to the German hell and asks, "What do they do here?"
He told, "First they put you in an electric chair for an hour.
Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour.
Then the German devil comes in and beats you for the rest of the day."
The man does not like the sound of that at all, so he moves on.
He checks out the USA hell as well as the Russian hell and many more.
He discovers that they are all more or less the same as the German hell.
Then he comes to the Indian hell and finds that there is a long line of people waiting to get in.
Amazed, he asks, "What do they do here?". He told, "First they put you in an electric chair for an hour.
Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour.
Then the Indian devil comes in and beats you for the rest of the day.
"But that is exactly the same as all the other hells - why are there so many people waiting to get in?"
*
*
*
*
*
Because maintenance is so bad that the electric chair does not work,
someone has stolen all the nails from the bed
and
the devil is a former Government servant,
so he comes in, signs the register and then goes to the canteen!!!!! !

Think twice before we judge others
She was deep into her book, when suddenly she realized that there was a young man sitting next to her who was stretching his hand, with no concern whatsoever, and grabbing the pack of cookies lying between them. He started to eat them one by one. Not wanting to make a fuss about it she decided to ignore him.
The woman, slightly bothered, ate the cookies and watched the clock, while the young and shameless- thief of biscuits was also finishing them. The woman started to get really angry at this point and thought "If I wasn't such a good and educated person, I would have given this daring man a black eye by now."
Every time she ate a biscuit, he had one too. The dialogue between their eyes continued and when only one biscuit was left, she wondered what was he going to do. Softly and with a nervous smile, the young man grabbed the last biscuit and broke it in two. He offered one half to the woman while he ate the other half. Briskly she took the biscuit and thought, "What an insolent man! How uneducated! He didn't even thank me!"
She had never met anybody so fresh and heaved a sigh of relief when her flight was announced. She grabbed her bags and went towards the boarding gate refusing to look back to where that insolent thief was seated. After boarding the plane and and being nicely seated, she looked for her book which was nearly finished by now. While looking into her bag she was totally surprised to find her pack of biscuits nearly intact.
"If my biscuits are here", she realised with a sinking heart, "those that we were eating belonged to him and he tried to share them with me." Too late to apologize to the young man, she realized with pain, that it was she who had been insolent, uneducated and a thief, and not him.
How many times in our lives, have we known with certainty that something happened in a certain way, only to discover later that it wasn't true?
How many times has our lack of trust within us made us judge other people unfairly with our conceited ideas, often far removed from reality.
That is why we have to think twice before we judge others. Let's always give others the benefit of the doubt before we think badly of them.
An office boy!
The HR manager interviewed him, then a test: clean the floor. "You are hired" he said, give me your email address, and I'll send you the application to fill, as well as when you will start. The man replied "I don't have a computer, neither an email".
I'm sorry, said the HR manager, if you don't have an email that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job. The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only $10 US in his pocket.
He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10 KG tomato crate. He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation 3 times, and returned home with $60 US. The man realized that he can survive by this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubles or triples every day. Shortly later, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.
5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US. He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance.
He called an insurance broker, and chooses a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his email. The man replied: 'I don't have an email'. The broker replied curiously, you don't have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Do you imagine what you could have been if you had an email?
The man thought for a while, and replied: an office boy!
The moral of this story:
1: Internet is not the solution to your life.
2: If you don't have internet and you work hard you can be a millionaire.
When our father irritates us
Suddenly a crow perched on a wall of the house.
The father asked the son: What is this?
The son replied: It is a crow.
After a little while the father again asked the son: What is this?
The son said: It is a crow.
After a few minutes the father asked his son the third time: What is this?
The son said: Father, I have just now told you that this is a crow.
After a little while the old father again asked his son the fourth time: what is this?
By this time some statement of irritation was felt in the son's tone when he rebuffed his father: Father! It is a crow, a crow.
A little after the father again asked his son: What is this?
This time the son replied to his father with a vein of temper: Father, you are always repeating the same question; although I have told you so many times that it is a crow. Are you not able to understand this?
The father went to his room and came back with an old diary. Opening a page he asked his son to read what was written.
What the son read were the following words written in the diary:
'Today my little son was sitting with me in the courtyard, when a crow came there. My son asked me twenty-five times what it was and I told him twenty-five times that it was a crow and I did not feel at all irritated. I rather felt affection for my innocent child.'
The father then explained to his son the difference between a father's and a son's attitude. While you were a little child you asked me this question twenty-five times and I felt no irritation in replying to the question twenty-five times and when today I asked you the same question only five times, you felt irritated, annoyed and impatient with me.
Be careful who you associate with.
"Are you crazy?" exclaimed the Turtle. "You'll sting me while I'm swimming and I'll drown."
"My dear turtle," laughed the scorpion, "if I were to sting you, You would drown and I would go down with you. Now where is the logic in that?"
"You're right!" cried the turtle. "Hop on!"
The scorpion climbed aboard and halfway across the river gave the turtle a mighty sting. As they both sank to the bottom, the turtle resignedly said: "Do you mind if I ask you something? You said there'd be no Logic in your stinging me. Then why did you do it?"
"It has nothing to do with logic," the drowning scorpion sadly replied. "It's just my character."

WINNERS VERSUS LOSERS
The Winner is always part of the answer;
The Winner says, "Let me do it for you";
"Don't do to others what you would not want them to do to you";
“Do it to others before they do it to you."

The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter,
"Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river."
The little girl said, "No, Dad. You hold my hand."
"What's the difference?" Asked the puzzled father.
"There's a big difference," replied the little girl.
"If I hold your hand and something happens to me,
chances are that I may let your hand go.
But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens,
you will never let my hand go."
In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond.

Diplomatic slap
The train goes through a tunnel and it getscompletely dark.
Suddenly there is a kissing sound andthen a slap!
The train comes out of the tunnel.
Thewomen and Manmohan are sitting there lookingperplexed.
Musharaf is bent over holding his face, which is red froman apparent slap.
All of them remain diplomatic andnobody says anything.
Sonia is thinking: These Pakistani are all crazy after Aishwarya. Musharafmust have tried to kiss her in the tunnel. Very proper that she slapped him.
Aishwarya is thinking: Musharaf must have tried to kiss me but kissed Soniainstead and got slapped.
Musharaf is thinking: Damn it. Manmohan must have tried to kiss Aishwarya.
She might have thought it was me and slapped me.
Manmohan is thinking: If this train goes through another tunnel I will make another kissing sound and slap Musharaf again ...

Gone are the Days....
When
The school reopened in June, and we settled in our new desks and benches!
When
We queued up in book depot, and got our new books and notes!
When
We wanted two Sundays and no Mondays, yet managed to line up daily for the morning prayers.
When
We learnt writing with slates and pencils, and progressed to fountain pens and ball pens and then Micro tips!
When
We began drawing with crayons and evolved to color pencils and finally sketch pens!
When
We started calculating first with tables and then with Clarke's tables and advanced to Calculators and Computers!
When
We chased one another in the corridors in Intervals, and returned to the classrooms drenched in sweat!
When
W e had lunch in classrooms, corridors, playgrounds, under the trees and even in cycle sheds!
When
All the colors in the world, decorated the campus on the Second Saturdays!
When
A single P.T. period in the week's Time-Table was awaited more eagerly than the monsoons!
When
Cricket was played with writing pads as bats, and Neckties and socks rolled into balls!
When
Few played kabadi and Kho-Kho in scorching sun, while others simply played book cricket in the Confines of classroom!
Of fights but no conspiracies, Of Competitions but seldom jealousy!
When
We used to watch Live Cricket telecast, in the opposite house in Intervals and Lunch breaks!
When
Few rushed at
Gone are the days
Of Sports Day, and the annual School Day, and the one-month long preparations for them.
Gone are the days
Of the stressful Quarterly, Half Yearly and Annual Exams, and the most enjoyed holidays after them!
Gone are the days
When we spent almost the whole year writing revision tests of tenth and twelfth standards,
We learnt,
We enjoyed,
We played,
We won,
We lost,
We laughed,
We cried,
We fought,
We thought.
With
So much fun in them, so many friends,
So much experience, all this and more!
Gone are the days
When we used to talk for hours with our friends!
Now we don't have time to say a `Hi'!
Gone are the days
When we played games on the road!
Now we code on the road with laptop!
Gone are the days
When we saw stars shining at Night!
Now we see stars when our code doesn't Work!
Gone are the days
When we sat to chat with Friends on grounds!
Now we chat in chat rooms.....!
Gone are the days
Where we studied just to pass!
Now we study to save our job!
Gone are the days
Where we had no money in our pockets and still fun filled on our hearts!!
Now we have the ATM as well as Credit Card but with an empty heart!!
Gone are the days
Where we shouted on the road!
Now we don't shout even at home
Gone are the days
Where we got lectures from all!
Now we give lectures to all...!!
Gone are the days
But not the memories, which will be lingering in our hearts
For ever and ever and ever and ever and ever.....
Gone are the Days.... But still there are lot more Days to come in our Life!!
NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU ARE, DONT FORGET TO
LIVE THE LIFE THAT STILL EXISTS......

THE MAGIC MANTRA FOR ALL
Here are some very interesting aspects of his life:
1) He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!
2) He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.
3) He still lives in the same small 3 bedroom house in mid-town Omaha, that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.
4) He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.
5) He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company.
6) His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis.
7) He has given his CEO's only two rules.
Rule number 1: Do not lose any of your share holder's money.
Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.
8) He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch television.
9) Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.
10) Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.
11) His advice to young people: Stay away from credit cards and invest in yourself.
Impossible
Thrown around by small men
Who find it easier to live in the world
they have been given
Than to explore the power they have, to change it.
Impossible is not a fact; it's an opinion.
Impossible is not a declaration it's a dare,
Impossible is temporary,
Impossible is potential,
Impossible itself has in it � Possible.

Sardarji-another Sardarji
There was a Sardarji who was down on his luck. In order to raise some money
he decided to kidnap a kid and hold him for ransom.
He went to the playground, grabbed a kid, took him behind a tree, and told
him, "I've kidnapped you."
Sardarji then wrote a note saying:
"I've kidnapped your kid. Tomorrow morning, put Rs.2, 00,000 in a paper bag
and put it beneath the mango tree on the north side of the city playground".
Signed: "A Sardarji".
Sardarji then pinned the note to the kid's shirt and sent him home to show
it to his parents.
The next morning the Sardarji checked, and sure enough a paper bag was kept
beneath the mango tree. The boy was sitting next to the bag.
"How can a Sardarji do this to a fellow Sardarji? Take the money, and please leave my son."
laughter, the best medicine
Aana free,

Seen on a famous beauty parlor in Bombay:
Don't whistle at the girl going out from here.
She may be your grandmother!
Seen on a bulletin board:
Success is relative;
More the success, more the relatives.
Sign at a barber's saloon in Juhu, Bombay:
we need your heads to run our business.
A traffic slogan:
Don't let your kids drive if they are not old enough - or else they never will be.....
THE BEST ONE:
Its God's responsibility to forgive the terrorist organizations;
It's our responsibility to arrange the meeting between them and god.

Today's moral story
The boy takes the two one rupee coins and leaves. "What did I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never learns!"
Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store.
"Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take two one rupee coins instead of five rupee coin?"
The boy licked his cone and replied, "Because THE DAY I TAKE THE FIVE RUPEE COIN, THE GAME IS OVER .

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF
YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED
WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...
(SEE BELOW)
HOW MANY ?
WRONG, THERE ARE 6-- no joke.
READ IT AGAIN !
Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down.
The reasoning behind is further down.
The brain cannot process "OF".
Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!
Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.
Three is normal, four is quite rare.
Send this to your friends.> It will drive them crazy.!> And keep them occupied> For several minutes..!
