Decide - Time or Money??!!!

A small touching story mainly for professionals...

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
DAD: "Yeah sure, what it is?" replied the man.
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?"The man said angrily.
SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an Hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make Rs.100 an hour."
SON: "Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow Rs.50?"

The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you Can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then You march yourself straight to your room and go to bed."

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some? Money?

After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started tothink: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that Rs.50 and he really didn't ask for money very often.

The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door."Are you asleep, son?" He asked."No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy. "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier" said the man."It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the Rs.50 you asked for." The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" He yelled.

Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.

The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father."Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled."Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.

"Daddy, I have Rs.100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner withyou."

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.

It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent sometime with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.

***If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days.
But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.***

Strength of a Man & Beauty of a Woman !!

Strength of a Man

The strength of a man isn't seen in the width of his shoulders.It is seen in the width of his arms that encircle you.

The strength of a man isn't in the deep tone of his voice.It is in the gentle words he whispers.

The strength of a man isn't how many buddies he has.It is how good a buddy he is with his kids.

The strength of a man isn't in how respected he is at work.It is in how respected he is at home.

The strength of a man isn't in how hard he hits.It is in how tender he touches.

The strength of a man isn't how many women he's Loved by.It is in can he be true to one woman.

The strength of a man isn't in the weight he can lift.It is in the burdens he can understand and overcome.

Beauty of a Woman

The beauty of a woman
Is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure she carries,
Or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman
Must be seen from her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman
Is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman
Is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows,
The beauty of a woman
With passing years-only grows.

***Lucky is the man who is the first love of a woman,
but luckiest is the woman who is the last love of a man***

A Cup of Coffee

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups.

Now if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change. Some times, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."

***Don't let the cups drive you... Enjoy the coffee instead***

Why Indian Moms are Simply the Best

A young Indian man excitedly tells his mother he's fallen in love and that he is going to get married.
He says, "Ma, I'm going to bring over 3 women and you try and guess which one I'm going to marry." The mother agrees.

The next day, he brings three beautiful women into the house and sits them down on the couch and they chat for a while. Later, he says, "Okay Ma, guess which one I'm going to marry."

She immediately replies, "The one on the right." " That's amazing, Ma. You're right. How did you know?"
The Indian mother replies,
... .... .... .... ..... .. .. .. .. . ............ .............. ... .... .... .... ..... .. .. .. .. . ............ ..............
" I don't like her "

Cutest Love Note

One night a guy & a girl were driving home from the movie. The boy sensed there was something wrong because of the painful silence they shared between them that night.

The girl then asked the boy to pull over because she wanted to talk. She told him that her feelings had changed & that it was time to move on.

A silent tear slid down his cheek as he slowly reached into his pocket & passed her a folded note. At that moment, a drunk driver was speeding downthat very same street. He swerved right into the drivers seat, the boy.

Miraculously, the girl survived. Remembering the note, she pulled it out & read it.
"Without your love, I would die."

Does UR Management knows You..!!!!

On walking into the factory, the MD noticed a young guy leaning against the wall, doing nothing. He approached the young man and calmly said to him, "How much do you earn?" The young man was quite amazed that he was asked such a personal question, nonetheless,he replied, "I earn $ 2 000.00 a month, Sir. Why?"

Without answering, the MD took out his wallet and removed $ 6000.00 cash and gave it to the young man and said, "Around here I pay people for working, not for standing around looking pretty! Here is 3 months 'salary, now GET OUT and don't come back".

The young man turned around and was quickly out of sight. Noticing a Few onlookers, the MD said in a very upset manner, "And that applies for everybody in this company".

He approached one of the onlookers and asked him, "Who's the young man that I just fired?
" To which an amazing reply came of, "He was the pizza delivery man, Sir...!!!"

Dil Ke Aangan...

Ø Dil ki dhadkan ruk si gaye hai,
saans meri thum si gaye hai,
poocha tha dil ke doctor se hamne,
pata chala is dil mai aapki yadein jam si gayi hai...............

Ø Dil ke angan se CHAND ka didar ho gaya,
dekhte hi dekhte CHAND badal me kho gaya,
maine badal ke hatne ka intezaar kiya,
tab tak CHAND kissi or ka ho gaya............

Ø Apni dil ki suno jazbat se kam na lo,
mujhe yad rakho beshak mera naam na lo,
apka vehem hai ki hum bhul gaye aapko,
aisa soch ke meri dosti ka imtihaan na lo....

Ø Apni taqdeer me hum mohabbat mangna bhul gaye,
dilto manga par dilbar mangna bhul gaye,
hum to dil apna kisko de aaye par,
badle me unka dil mangna bhul gaye.......

Ø Likhu kuch aaj waqt ka takaaza hai,
dil me dard abhi taza taza hai,
gir pade aansu mere kagaz par,
lagta hai kalam me syahi kam aansu jayada hai.....

To leave the shower and find that the towel is warm.
To clear your last exam.
To receive a call from someone, you don't see a lot, but you want to. A good conversation.

To laugh at oneself. Calls at the midnight that last for hours.
To laugh without reasons.

To wake up and realize it is still possible to sleep a couple of hours.

To see people that you like, feeling happy.
To use a sweater of the person that you like and it still smells of their perfume.
See an old friend again and to feel that the things didn't change.
To look at an evening.

To have somebody that tells you that he/she loves you

The problem may not be with others as we always think! It could be very much within us..!!

A man feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid.



Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss. Here's what you do," said the Doctor, "stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response."



That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. He says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away; let's see what happens." then in a normal tone he asks, 'Honey, what's for dinner?" No response. So the husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, "Honey, what's for dinner?" Still no response. Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, Honey, what's for dinner?" Again he gets no response so; He walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again there is no response. So he walks right up behind her." Honey, what's for dinner? James, for the FIFTH time I've said, CHICKEN!"



Moral of the story: The problem may not be with others as we always think! It could be very much within us..!!



If you point a finger at others, see that three fingers are pointing at you! That's why, think thrice before you leap!

Innocence??!!

A man comes running to the doctor shouting & screaming
In pain "Please doctor you've got to help me. I've been stung by a Bee."

DOCTOR: "Don't worry; I'll put some cream on it."

MAN: "You will never find that bee. It must be miles away by now."

DOCTOR: "No you don't understand! I'll put some cream
On the place you were stung."

MAN: "Oh! It happened in the garden where I was
Sitting under a tree"

DOCTOR (in anger): "No, no you IDIOT! I mean on which
Part of your body did that bee sting."


MAN (still screaming in pain): "On my finger! The bee
Stung me on my finger and it really hurts"

DOCTOR (banging his fist, abusing and shouting): "Which one?"


MAN (innocently): "How am I to know? All bees look the same to me."

Oh God!!! Please Make me Women

A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home.


He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:

“Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home.

I want her to know what I go through, so please allow her body to switch with mine for a day. Amen.

God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.


The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman.


He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids,

Set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches,

Drove them to school, came home and picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners

And stopped at the bank to make a deposit, went grocery shopping,

Then drove home to put away the groceries,

Paid the bills and balanced the checkbook.


He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog.

Then it was already 1 P.M. and he hurried to make the beds, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor.

Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home.

Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework,

Then set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing.


At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper.


After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed. At 9 P.M. He was exhausted


And, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint.


The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said, Lord,

I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day. Please, oh please, let us trade back."


The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied, "My son, I feel you have learned

Your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were.


You'll just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last night."

Dar - De - Dil

Ø Dil ke dard ko CHUPANA kitna mushkil hai,
toot ke phir MUSKURANA kitna mushkil hai,
door tak jab chalo kisi ke saath,
toh phir TANHA laut ke aana kitna mushkil hai.....

Ø Is dil me tere liye itna pyar rahega ki waqt bhi uska gawah rahega,
tere pyar shayad kissi aur ke naseeb me ho,
par sirf ye dil teri yaadon ka haqdar rahega.............

Ø Had se na gujre wo pyar hi kya..
pyar karne pe majbur na karde wo ikrar hi kya..
intezar to sab karte hai...
par sanse tutne tak sath na de wo yar hi kya.......

Ø Waqt bahut kam he sath bitane me,
isko na gavana kabhi ruthne-manane me,
dosti to hamne bana hi li he aapse,
bas thoda sa saath de dena isko nibhane me....

Ø Jo safar ikthtiyar karte hai,
wohi manzilon ko paar karte hai,
bas ek baar chalne ka hausla to keejiye,
aise musafiron ka to raaste bhi intezaar karte hai......
