A Mom comes to visit her son Kumar for dinner.....
who lives with a girl roommate Sunita.
/**/
During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how
pretty Kumar's roommate was.
She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two, and this
had only made her more curious.
Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Kumar and his roommate than met the eye..
Reading his mom's thoughts, Kumar volunteered, 'I know what you must be
thinking, but I assure you, Sunita and I are just roommates.'
/**/
About a week later, Sunita came to Kumar saying, 'Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the silver chutney jar.
You don't suppose she took it, do you?'
Kumar said,'Well, I doubt it, but I'll email her, just to be sure.'
/**/
So he sat down and wrote :
Dear Mother,
I'm not saying that you 'did' take the chutney jar from my house,
I'm not saying that you 'did not' take the chutney jar.
But the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love, Kumar.
Several days later, Kumar received an email from his mother which read :
Dear Son,
I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Sunita, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with Sunita.
But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her OWN bed,
she would have found the chutney jar by now
Under the pillow..._
Love,
Mom.
Lesson of the day: Don't Lie to Your Mother...... ......especially if she is Indian !

GET UP!!!!
Once again I am back. Sorry all for delay in updating my blog. I was busy because of my involvement into studies and work. Today, I am writing on a real story which was narrated to me by an old US based lady, who was in her 60s. She was truly obsessed with the culture, tradition of India irrespective of whatever she is going through because of some Indian officials. What impression we are giving to our guests?
She went to visa office for the renewal of her visa and what reply she got from the office that she have to go back to America and apply from there for a medical visa, than come back here. I mean, whats this? In the visa process of US, they dont have visa on medical grounds thats why they send their citizens on tourist visa only.
This lady went to the visa office 3-4 times and everytime she got either the same reply or as Indian government employees always do like go to this person than that person. When she tried to show her anger than one of the senior official said that if you want your work to be done than be polite. No matter how an public employee is replying to your query or whether he is working for you or not, but you have to be polite.
She was in need, so from that time onwards she always kept silent, polite and with calm nature, Sir please do this work. Finally, after 3-4 days, she met the third highest rank official but still the same answer, go back.
Finally, her patience bursted out in the form of her anger on the officials and than they said that we will do your work and you need not to go anywhere. Just give us all the proofs again that you are not well and undergoing treatment over here. She agreed to this request no matter that she have already given such documents 3 times.
What I want to ask to the government and to the bureaucrats and other officials, that on one side you giving advertisement on television that "Athithi Devo Bhavah". Respect them, as a lot of people are earning because of them. On another side, you are harassing the foreigners and that too on baseless grounds and reasons. Why? Why media is not focusing on such problems which are also a type of hurdle in the development of our country? When would we, the common man, think that our country is our home? We only have to take care of our home and give respect to not only to the outsiders but also to those who are our family members without any difference on the basis of their caste, sex, financial value, societal status. When we stop discrimination?
Its seriously high time friends. Please its my sincere request to all of you, please think about your country. Do something fruitfull for your own home, for your own nation. Show your power to disgusting and disturbing elements like Shiv Sena, MNS, LeT, disturbing neighbors, that no body have the right to break your unity, you all are equal. Stop fighting among themselves. Come out of you personal requirement and think about the nation.
If you still feel that you cant do anything than dont utter bad words against those who are into power, whether its government or officials. If you think they are not doing their work efficiently than raise this issue. Enter into the system and change it or atleast give a try. Be a media person and change the view of media, who are just commercialising news for the sake of profit. They are not at all interested in what kind of impression they are giving to the public about their own nation and politicians. Listen to media but use your own brain to judge what is right and what is wrong. A small initiative by each and every individual will one day definitely give us a better country, a better future.
GET UP!! GET UP!!

Homeless
From past many days I was reading about those families who were spending their nights without any shelter as their only shelter had been demolished by the authorities. I was reading that news in news papers just as a common news. But today when I went to my institute for the class, I saw something very similar to it and than I really realized the pain of those who were thrown out of their only shelter. Outside the window of my class room, their was the shelter of some birds. Although they had irritated us a lot because of their continuous movement and also by making the place dirty. My teacher everyday instruct his office boy to make this place clean and clear. But today when I reached there, I saw that there was no bird, nothing at all and that place was now protected with iron rods. At first, it was quite normal for me but when I saw that birds are again and again coming but not finding the way to get into their nest, I really feel bad. I was attending my class but my full imagination and concentration was on those homeless birds and feeling the pain of those people who recently lost their shelter in Delhi.
I am writing just to make everybody realize about how it feels when someone loose their home. I felt the pain of those birds. Their faces were like why we are not allowed to enter in our own home. As these birds and animals are speechless, they cant speak but anybody can easily understand to what they are saying than why cant we understand the words of humans like us who are crying and begging for their basic needs.
Think upon it. Please!!
