Things Aren't always as They Seem
Things Aren't always as They Seem
Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in themansion's guest room. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement.
As they made their bed on the hard floor, the olderangel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied,"Things aren't always what they seem."
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they hadthe couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest.
When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears.
Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field. The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen The first man had everything, yet you helped him. she accused. The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die.
"Things aren't always what they seem", the older angel replied.
When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall
Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn't find it. He continued, Then lastnight as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. "Things aren't always what they seem."
Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don't turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that everyoutcome is always to your advantage.
You might not know it until some time later...

Funny poem.....original poem edited by someone :)
kyon chalti hai pawan ?
because of evaporation
kyon jhoome hai gagan ?
because of earth's revolution
kyon machalta hai mann ?
because of excessive respiration
na tum janno na hum ?
but i just gave all the answers
kyon aati hai bahar ?
because of change in season
kyon lutata hai kaarar ?
becuase of mental tension
kyon hota hai pyaar ?
because of fatal attraction
na tum janno na hum ?
like i said these are all science phenomena
kyon gum hai har disha ?
because u have lost the sense of direction
kyon hota hai nasha ?
because of drug addiction
kyon aata hai maza?
because of food's temptation.
na tum janno na hum?
I think u r jealous of my intelligence
because of evaporation
kyon jhoome hai gagan ?
because of earth's revolution
kyon machalta hai mann ?
because of excessive respiration
na tum janno na hum ?
but i just gave all the answers
kyon aati hai bahar ?
because of change in season
kyon lutata hai kaarar ?
becuase of mental tension

Engineer vs Manager..funny
A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She reduced altitudeand spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and shouted, ‘Excuse mesir, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour agobut I don’t know where I am.’
The man below replied, ‘You’re in a hot air balloon hovering approximately30 feet above the ground. You’re between 40 and 41 degrees north latitudeand between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.’
‘You must be an engineer,’ said the lady balloonist.
‘I am’, replied the man.. ‘How did you know?’
‘Well, answered the balloonist, ‘everything you told me is technicallycorrect, but I’ve no idea what to make of your information, and the factis I’m still lost. Frankly, you’ve not been much help to me at all. If anything, you’ve delayed my trip even more.’
The man below responded, ‘You must be in management.’
‘I am,’ replied the lady balloonist, ‘but, how did you know?’
‘Well,’ said the man, ‘You don’t know where you are, or where you’regoing. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot airwithin. You made a promise, which you’ve no idea how to keep, and youexpect people beneath you, to solve your problems, and you are prompt toblame others for your fate and stupid deeds!!!!!!! !!!!!!

Think of out of the box....very nice mail
Every company has a performance appraisal system in place to measure the effectiveness of its employees.Employees are normally rated in most of the companies in the above categories. Apart from the above non performance category is also there, which is not depicted here ) . Needless to say everyone wants to be rated Outstanding.What is the yard stick and how do you measure these aspects?
Employee "A" in a company walked up to his manager and asked what my job is for the day?
The manager took "A" to the bank of a river and asked him to cross the river and reach the other side of the bank.
"A" completed this task successfully and reported back to the manager about the completion of the task assigned.
The manager smiled and said "GOOD JOB"
Next day Employee "B" reported to the same manager and asked him the job for the day.
The manager assigned the same task as above to this person also.
The Employee "B' before starting the task saw Employee "C" struggling in the river to reach the other side of the bank. He realized "C" has the same task.
Now "B" not only crossed the river but also helped "C" to cross the river.
"B" reported back to the manager and the manager smiled and said "VERY GOOD JOB"
The following day Employee "Q" reported to the same manager and asked him the job for the day. The manager assigned the same task again.
Employee "Q" before starting the work did some home work and realized "A", "B" & "C" all has done this task before.
He met them and understood how they performed.
He realized that there is a need for a guide and training for doing this task.
He sat first and wrote down the procedure for crossing the river, he documented the common mistakes people made, and tricks to do the task efficiently and effortlessly.
Using the methodology he had written down he crossed the river and reported back to the manager along with documented procedure and training material.
The manger said "Q" you have done an "EXCELLENT JOB".
The following day Employee "O' reported to the manager and asked him the job for the day.
The manager assigned the same task again.
"O" studied the procedure written down by "Q" and sat and thought about the whole task.He realized company is spending lot of money in getting this task completed.
He decided not to cross the river, but sat and designed and implemented a bridge across the river and went back to his manager and said,
"You no longer need to assign this task to any one".
The manager smiled and said "Outstanding job 'O'. I am very proud of you."
What is the difference between A, B, Q & O????????
Many a times in life we get tasks to be done at home, at office, at play….,Most of us end up doing what is expected out of us.
Do we feel happy? Most probably yes. We would be often disappointed when the recognition is not meeting our expectation.
Let us compare ourselves with "B". Helping some one else the problem often improves our own skills. There is an old proverb (I do not know the author) "learn to teach and teach to learn". From a company point of view "B" has demonstrated much better skills than "A" since one more task for the company is completed.
"Q" created knowledge base for the team. More often than not, we do the task assigned to us without checking history. Learning from other's mistake is the best way to improve efficiency. This knowledge creation for the team is of immense help. Re-usability reduces cost there by increases productivity of the team. "Q" demonstrated good "team-player" skills.
Now to the outstanding person, "O" made the task irrelevant; he created a Permanent Asset to the team.
If you notice B, Q and O all have demonstrated "team performance" over an above individual performance; also they have demonstrated a very invaluable characteristic known as "INITIATIVE".
Initiative pays off every where whether at work or at personal life. If you put initiative you will succeed. Initiative is a continual process and it never ends. This is because this year's achievement is next year's task. You cannot use the same success story every year.
The story provides an instance of performance, where as measurement needs to be spread across at least 6-12 months. Consequently performance should be consistent and evenly spread.
Out-of-Box thinkers are always premium and that is what every one constantly looks out for. Initiative, Out-of-Box thinking and commitment are the stepping stone to success.Initiative should be life long.

Tech: What's the problem?
User: There is smoke coming out of the power supply.
Tech: (keeps quite for moment)
Tech: You'll need a new power supply.
User: No, I don't! I just need to change the startup files.
Tech: Sir, the power supply is faulty. You'll need to replace it.
User: No way! Someone told me that I just needed to change the startup andit will fix the problem!All I need is for you to tell me the command.
Tech support::
10 minutes later, the User is still adamant that he isright. The tech is frustrated and fed up.
Tech support:: (hush hush)
Tech: Sorry, Sir. We don't normally tell our customers this, but there isan undocumented DOS command that will fix the problem.
User: I knew it!
Tech : Just add the line LOAD NOSMOKE.COM <> at the endof the CONFIG.SYS. Let me know how it goes. 10 minutes later.
User : It didn't work. The power supply is still smoking.
Tech : Well, what version of DOS are you using?
User : MS-DOS 6.22.
Tech : That's your problem there. That version of DOS didn't come withNOSMOKE.Contact Microsoft and ask them for a patch that will give you the file. Letme know how it goes.
1 hour later.
User : I need a new power supply.
Tech support : How did you come to that conclusion?
Tech support : (hush hush)
User : Well, I rang Microsoft and told him about what you said, and he started asking questions about the make of power supply.

Impact of a job change..funny
A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him aquestion.
The driver screamed, lost control of thecar, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped fewcentimeters from a shop window.
For a second everything went quiet in the cab, and then the driversaid: "Look man, don't ever do that again. Youscared the daylights out of me!"
The passenger apologized and said, "I didn't realize that a little tapwould scare you so much."
The driver replied, "Sorry, it's not really your fault. Today is myfirst day as a cab driver - I've been driving a van carrying dead Bodies for the last 25 years...

Flaws of slumdog....got this mail from someone
The music/soundtrack and the technical quality of Slumdog Millionaire is excellent; but, overall, the film is unrealistic and overrated because
1) The director seems to relish showing violence. Some of it (like the police-torture) is quite needless. And why was the boy arrested in the first place? On what charge? Was it realistic?
2) How can a boy growing up in slums speak such accented English? Even if one assumes that the language he actually uses to communicate with the game-show host and the police officer is Hindi (granting the director the creative license to use a language better suited for international audiences), there are two instances where it is stretched too far:
(a) when the boy becomes a ‘guide’ for foreign tourists at the Taj Mahal &
(b) when he becomes a substitute-operator at the callcentre.
3) When the boy uses his ‘lifeline’ during the game-show, his friend discovers that she has forgotten her mobile and has to run back for it. This is plain Bollywood masala! Did the director have to make it so melodramatic?
4) How did the boy know who invented the revolver just by watching his brother use it? How does his friend know about Benjamin Franklin (something which many Americans themselves don’t know!)?
5) Darshan Do Ghanshyam is not written by Surdas. It is written by Gopal Singh Nepali for the movie Narsi Bhagat (1957). This song is also credited as traditional and originally written by 15th century poet Narsi Mehta, whose life that film is based on.
6) After winning the game-show, the boy sits on the railway platform and nobody recognizes him! Considering the popularity of the show, is that realistic?
7) the greatest flaw in the storyline: programmes like Kaun Banega Crorepati and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire are not telecast live. As a result the entire structure of the film becomes unrealistic. For a film that boasts of being realistic such a flaw cannot be overlooked.

7) the greatest flaw in the storyline: programmes like Kaun Banega Crorepati and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire are not telecast live. As a result the entire structure of the film becomes unrealistic. For a film that boasts of being realistic such a flaw cannot be overlooked.

Short moral story....in funny way.
One day a fisherman got up very early in the morning.
There was not enough sunlight to get into the sea.
He saw a pack of stones to pass time.
He started throwing the stone into the sea.
While having the last stone in the hand, the sun came up then he saw that the stone was a diamond.
He felt for his misfortune of throwing all of them into the sea...
Moral of the story: Do not get up early in the morning...

Difficult judgement
Difficult judgement
In a small town, a person decided to open up his Bar business, which was right opposite to the Temple.The Temple & its congregationstarted a campaign to block the Bar from opening, with petitions and prayed daily against his business.
Work progressed. However, when it was almost complete and was about to open a few days later, a strong lightning struck the Bar and it was burnt to the ground.The temple folks were rather smug in their outlook, after that, till he Bar owner sued the Temple authorities on the grounds that the Temple through its congregation & prayers was ultimately responsible for the demise of his bar shop. either through direct or indirect actions or means. In its reply to the court, the temple vehemently denied all responsibility or any connection that their prayers were reasons to the bar shop's demise.
As the case made its way into court, the judge looked over the paperwork at the hearing and commented:"I don't know how I'm going to decide this case, but it appears from the paperwork, we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer and we have an entire temple and its devotees that doesn't."

Bas ek bar wapas lautane ka man karta hai..nice poem, unknown poet
"bas ek bar wapas lautne ka man karta hai
Aaj har wo din jeene ko man karta hai.
kuch buri batein jo ab acchi lagti hain
kuch batein jo kal ki hi batein lagti hain.
abki baar class attend karne ka man karta hai
Dopahar ki class mein aakhein band karne ko man karta hai.
Doston ke room ki wo baatein yaad aati hai
exam ke time pe wo hasi mazak yaad aati hai,
college ke paas Jaggi ka dhabe ki yaad aati hai
tab ki bekar lagne wali photos chehre pe hasi laati hai.
Apni galtiyon pe tumse daat khana yaad aata hai.
Par tumhari galti dekhne ka ab bhi mann karta hai.
Ek aisi subah uthne ka mann karta hai
bas ek bar wapas lautne ka man karta hai.
bas ek bar aurwapas lautne ka man karta hai."

how life's changed..nice poem
Here i am sitting in my office @ night…
Thinking hard about life
How it changed from a maverick college life to strict professional life…...
How tiny pocket money changed to huge monthly paychecks but then why it gives lesss happiness….
How a few local denim jeans changed to new branded wardrobe but then why there are less people to use them
How a single plate of samosa changed to a full Pizza or burger But then why there is less hunger…..
Here i am sitting in my office @ night… Thinking hard about life How it changed…..
How a bike always in reserve changed to bike always on but then why there are less places to go on……
How a small coffee shop changed to cafe coffee day but then why its feels like shop is far away…..
How a limited prepaid card changed to postpaid package but then why there are less calls & more messages……
Here i am sitting in my office @ night… Thinking hard about life How it changed…..
How a general class journey changed to Flight journey But then why there are less vacations for enjoyment….
How a old assembled desktop changed to new branded laptop but then why there is less time to put it on……….
How a small bunch of friends changed to office mateBut then why we always feel lonely n miss those college frnz.….

Importance of "Bhagavat Geeta" in our life.
An old Farmer lived on a farm in the mountains with his young grandson.
Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his
Bhagavat Geeta. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate
him in every way he could.
One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! I try to read the Bhagawat Geeta just
like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as
soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Bhagawat Geeta do?"
The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied,
"Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of
water."
The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back
to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, "You'll have to move a
little faster next time," and sent him back to the river with the basket to
try again.
This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he
returned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible
to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead. The old man
said, "I don't want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water. You're just
not trying hard enough," and he went out the door to watch the boy try
again.
At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his
grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak
out before he got back to the house.
The boy again dipped the basket into river and ran hard, but when he reached
his grandfather the basket was again empty. Out of breath, he said, "See
Grandpa, it's useless!"
"So you think it is useless?" The old man said, "Look at the basket."
The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket
was different. It had been transformed from a dirty old coal basket and was
now clean, inside and out.
"Son, that's what happens when you read the Bhagavat Geeta. You might not
understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be
changed, inside and out. That is the work of Krishna in our lives.."

When your hut is on fire!
The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited
island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. Every day he
scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.
Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect
him from the elements, and to store his few possessions.
One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had happened, and
everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger. He
cried out, "God! How could you do this to me?"
Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching the island! It had come to rescue him! "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.
The Moral of This Story : It's easy to get discouraged when things are
going bad, but we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our
lives, even in the midst of our pain and suffering. Remember that the
next time your little hut seems to be burning to the ground. It just
may be a smoke signal that summons the Grace of God.

The Smart Kid!!
A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his Customer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you."
The barber puts a dollar in one hand and 25 cents in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, "Which do you want, son?" The boy takes 25 cents 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 25 cents instead of the dollar?"
The boy licked his cone and replied, "Because the day I take the dollar, the game's over!"
Moral: Sometimes, when you think the other is dumb, you are making a fool of yourself.
