WHAT A MIRACLE

(jai ma kali)
                  WHAT A MIRACLE
                *********************
      Once upon a time there lived a Yoga master who was known for his wonderful cures for arthritis.One day he was giving demonstration to his plethora of students at his studio when an old lady completely bent over leaning on her cane staggered in. The yoga master escorted her to his studio.
      But lo and behold ! she pootled out of the studio within fifteen minutes completely erect with her pate held high.Everyone present there was agape and stunned to see the miracle. A woman waiting at the gate of the studio trilled to the lady,"What a miracle ! You came in bent to half and within 15 minutes you emerged out absolutely erect. What did the master do?"
    The lady decorously whispered," He gave me a longer cane !"

INUTILE CRAVINGS

                    &&&&&&&&&&&&&&
    A long time ago, an adventurous emperor enjoined his horseman to mount his horse and cover as much land area as he could.He promised to reward the horseman all the area he had covered. The horseman felt himself to be on cloud nine and taut de suite, jumped upon his stallion and rode at rapid strides to travel the largest area of the land.
      He kept on riding and riding, lashing the horse to keep on galloping as fast as possible.He did not tarry even when he was famished and dog tired.He covered a substantial large area but was so worn out and exhausted that he could not pull on any more.He fell down from the horse and was about to give up the ghost when he realised,
   "Why did I push myself so hard?Now I am dying and I need only a very small area of land to inter myself."
   Needless to say we toil and moil everyday to mint oodles of gelt by hook or crook to gain power and recognition at the cost of our health and family.
        *******************************
MORAL-----Life is not just about minting money, hankering after power or recognition.Life is about living every moment !!

Satyam Shivam Sundaram: I became dumbstruck

I became dumbstruck

(jai ma kali)
                I BECAME DUMBSTRUCK
               ******************************
   Once, while I was standing in a queue to cop a ticket at a movie theatre, I saw a well-dressesd chap of 12or 13,holding a polythene bag in his hand. He was trying to convince something with his hand gestures a man standing next to me. The man, willy-nilly,dished out a Rs 10 note from his wallet and put it into the polythene bag. I realised that the chap could not speak.
   He then approached me with a charming smile. Gesticulating at something on the other side of the road, he hefted the bag. I could see some Rs 10 and 20 notes in it. Though I could not comprehend what he was trying to say or pointing to, yet I too dropped a Rs 10 note in the bag. Beaming, he then went on to the next person. Almost everyone gave him a Rs 10 or 20 because he looked quite decent and well behaved. I noticed that there were only Rs 10 or 20 notes in the bag. 
      Thanking with smile, he then crossed the road. Everyone was observing him with curiosity.He took out a 20 note from his pocket
 and inserting it in the bag, gave it to a physically handicapped old woman squatting on the footpath on the other side of the road. Her face lit up and copious tears trickled down her wrinkled cheeks with gratitude. The chap then walked away gracefully. I was totally dumbstruck. So were all present there.
   Needless to sat that the chap's action taught everyone of us something to ponder about the way we treat those who are helpless and hapless !!

THE HAPLESS MULE

[jai ma kali]
                     THE HAPLESS MULE
                   ++++++++++++++++++++
  Once upon a time a crofter was pootling to the market along with his moke and a mule, both laden heavily with merchandise to be sold.

   The load on the moke was too heavy to be sustained by him. He entreated the mule to share a few of his bags.The mule snubbed him and made a flat refusal to share the load.
    The moke was unable to lug the heavy load and it was not too long before his knees reeled under the pressure and he flumped down on the ground.
    The crofter gathered the fallen bags and piled them onto the mule's back ruthlessly.As the moke was helpless to move, the  crofter made the mule to schlep the moke too.
   The mule gurgled with ire and pain but could do nothing about it. He thought," If only I had shared a few bags of the moke, I would not have to schlep him as well." 
                  *******************
MORAL----- SHARE THE LOAD OR END UP LUGGING IT ALL.

PRESENCE OF MIND

                    PRESENCE OF MIND
                  +++++++++++++++++++++
    Once upon a time there lived a rodent in his burrow in a jungle. He was wise and had a great presence of mind.With his presence of mind, he would dodge a wily vulture who tried to snare him and gormandize him.

    One chilly day, as the rodent emerged out of his burrow to bask in the sunshine, the scalawag vulture saw him and like a flash of light, swooped down and picked up him in his bill and fluttered up.
    The eminent rodent was in imminent danger.Using his presence of mind, he looked in the direction of his burrow and yammered,"My dear wife, I am on my way to the king's palace to attend his nuptial knot function. I shall vamoose anon."
     The vulture completely taken aback by what the rodent had said, chuckled and said,"What a buffoon you are to joke about your predicament." But alas! as she opened her mouth, the rodent tumbled down from his bill and in the twinkling of an eye,evanesced into his burrow.

                        +++++++++++++++++
       Once a guy had a frightful argument with his spouse.As he was sizzling with unbridled fury, he sought an audience with his master to seek peace of mind.So he pootled to his master's house.Being greatly disturbed, he jerks open the door, takes off his hat and flings it, removes his shoes and slings them,full of anger.Then he goes to his master and requests,"Oh master! I need peace and joy."
    The master had been observing him. He enjoins him,"First go to the door and apologise to the door for banging it. Go to the hat and apologise to it for hurling it. Go to your shoes and apologise for treating them so roughly. Then come to me.I will talk of peace to you."
      When the guy lovingly apologises to all these objects and comes back to master, that very love fetches about a transformation to the guy. He discovers peace in that state of love.

MORAL-------RESPECT AND LOVE ALL OBJECTS !!

WHAT AN IDEA


(jai ma kali) 
                    WHAT AN IDEA
                   ****************
     Once upon a time a woman approached the welfare office to seek some aid.The official concerned asked her," Madam, how many children do you have?"
  "ten," she responded.
"Name them," the official trilled.
She answered," Pappu,Pappu,Pappu,Pappu,Pappu,Pappu,Pappu,Pappu,Pappu and Pappu."
  The official was flabbergasted. He warbled,"What if you have to summon them into the house from playing outside?"
"Oh, that is very easy,"she echoed," I just call Pappu ;and they all come skedaddling in."
  "And if you want them to come for the dinner?"
 " I just say, Pappu, come eat your dinner," she replied.
 "But what if you want one of them to do something?", he asked.
"Oh, that's damn simple,"she said," I just use their last name !"
      The official was speechless.
