Nice one.....

During lunch break one afternoon at work, Rajgopalan and Shakaracharya were chatting….

Rajgopalan: Shankar, I've been working late every day since I have joined here & hence I got a promotion and very good bonus this appraisal.

Shankaracharya: How could it be Raj? Is that the only secret?

Rajgopalan: No, in the process of staying after office hours, I have also gathered a lot of General Knowledge; & my boss also asked me such questions at appraisal time.

Shankaracharya: Like what?

Rajgopalan: For example, do you know who is Graham Bell?

Shankaracharya: No

Rajgopalan: He's the inventor of the phone in 1876; if you spent more time in office after office hours you would know this!

The next day, the same discussion took place:
Rajgopalan: Do you know who Alexander Dumas is?

Shankaracharya: No

Rajgopalan: He's the author of "The 3 Musketeers", if you spent more time in office after office hours you would know this!

The next day, once again:
Rajgopalan: And do you know who Jean Jacques Rousseau is?

Shankaracharya: No

Rajgopalan: He's the author of "Confessions", if you spent more time in office after office hours you would know this!

This time, Shankaracharya got irritated and said:
Shankaracharya: And you, do you know who is Balachandra Appaswamy?

Rajgopalan: No

Shankaracharya: He's the guy roaming with your wife every evening !! If you stop spending more time in office after office hours, you would know this!

Moral: There is 'something' important in life than Work and General Knowledge Enjoy life.

Proud to be an Indian


************GOOD NEWS and PLEASE SHARE*********

No media has telecast-ed this news on News channels.

Hours after they won the World Cup with a thumping victory over England, Indian women Kabaddi players were seen on the streets waiting

for auto rickshaw to reach home. The players who made the country proud on Sunday

were badly treated by their team management. The

didn't even pay the hotel bills on time leading to

the embarrassment of the players. While checking out, the players were stopped by the

hotel staff for non payment of their food bills.

Brilliant Indian Mother... :P :P :P

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 plate. 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 silver plate from my house, I'm not saying that you 'did not' take the silver plate.. 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 silver plate by now under the pillow...

Love, Mom.

----------------------------------

Lesson of the day:

Don't Lie to Your Mother ...... ...... especially if she is Indian !

दिल की चोटों ने कभी चैन से रहने न दिया

दिल की चोटों ने कभी चैन से रहने न दिया
जब चली सर्द हवा मैंने तुझे याद किया
इसका रोना नहीं क्यों तुमने किया दिल बरबाद
इसका ग़म है कि बहुत देर में बरबाद किया
–
हमको किसके ग़म ने मारा, ये कहानी फिर सही
किसने तोड़ा दिल हमारा, ये कहानी फिर सही।
दिल के लुटने का सबब पूछो न सबके सामने
नाम आएगा तुम्हारा, ये कहानी फिर सही।
नफ़रतों के तीर खाकर दोस्तों के शहर में
हमने किस-किस को पुकारा, ये कहानी फिर सही।
क्या बताएँ प्यार की बाज़ी वफ़ा की राह में
कौन जीता कौन हारा, ये कहानी फिर सही।
