you are all such beautiful people
Friendship never takes to criticism in the hour of grief ; never says merely reasonable if you had acted like this or that, but simply opens its arms and speaks ; I don't ask, I don't judge, here is a heart where you can repose.
If one could always know in advance, how to act, then there would be no space for errors.
Friendship advises and warns before, afterwards it loves : this only is the real one, the false one takes the opposite part.

RAINING CHILDREN

There was a pastor whose wife was expecting a baby.
The pastor went to the congregation and asked for a raise
There was a discussion, a debate, heated arguments for and against but, in the end, a resolution was passed that whenever the pastor's family expanded, he would get a raise.
The pastor had always been an industrious pious man of God. The hard work saw an addition of eight in all to his family when it was felt that the expense was getting the better of common sense.
Another meeting was convened.
The pastor rose and spoke, "Children are the gift of God."
The congregation was silent - that is when a wise old lady at the back of the crowd rose and spoke in a verrrrry firm voice.
"Rain is a gift of the God but when it rains, we always wear a rain coat."

POLITICS - TWO SHORT STORIES

HAIR CUT
Blessed are those who can give without remembering, and take without forgetting.
One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop.
When the barber went to open his shop the next morning there were a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Later a merchant comes in for a haircut and when he tries to pay his bill the barber again replied 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The merchant was happy and left the shop.
The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you ' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.
Then a Politician came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill the barber again replied 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The Politician was very happy and left the shop.
The next morning when the barber went to open up there were a dozen Politicians lined up waiting for a free haircut.
And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.
BOTH POLITICIANS AND DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON!
If you don't forward this you have no sense of humour.
Nothing bad will happen. However, you must live with yourself knowing that laughter is not in your future. Now send it to everyone you know.
GOVERNMENT BARBER
While hair cutting, official Barber asked Kapil Sibal, ‘’What’s this Swiss Bank issue?”
Kapil Sibal shouted, “YOU, you are cutting hair or making inquiry?”
Barber: Sorry Sir, I just asked.
Next day, while cutting the hair, he asked Pranab Mukherjee, “Sir, what’s this Black money issue?’’
Pranab shouted, ‘’Why did you ask me this question?’’
Barber: ‘’Sorry Sir, just asked you’’
Next day, CBI interrogated the Barber, ‘’Are you an agent of Baba Ramdev?’’
Barber: No Sir.
CBI: Are you the agent of Anna?
Barber: No Sir.
CBI: Then while cutting the hair, why you ask Congress Ministers about Swiss Bank and Black money issues?
Barber: Sir, I do not know why, when I ask about Swiss Bank or Black money, Congress Ministers’ hairs stand up straight; and that helps me to cut the hair easily; that’s why I go on asking.

CELEBRATING WOMANHOOD - INTERNATIONAL WOMENS' DAY

Wearing heels
More and more of us are opting to wear heels on a daily basis, and this could be bad news for our health. High heels affect our posture, put pressure on joints, and can lead to a range of conditions including arthritis, hammer toes, back pain and tendon injuries – and that’s before you take into account any heel-related accidents! To minimize damage, limit your heels to 1.5 inches for daily wear, and wear insoles to help reduce the pressure on joints.
Carrying a heavy handbag
With the rising number of gadgets and accessories the majority of women haul around, many of us are carrying around several pounds of weight on our shoulders every day. As a result, lots of us are also putting our long term health at risk. While you may not feel the effects right now, lugging around a heavy handbag can lead to serious back problems and neck pain as well as poor posture. Don’t wait until the damage is done – do your health a favour and try clearing out all non-essential items and switching to a smaller bag.
Sleeping in makeup
Most of us have succumbed to the temptation to sleep in our post-party makeup at some point. However, leaving makeup on overnight – along with the dirt and oil that naturally accumulates on skin throughout the day –is a quick route to clogged pores, congested skin and spots. Sleeping with mascara and eye makeup on can also affect your health by causing eye irritation, bloodshot eyes or even infection.
Matching men drink for drink
From networking drinks to first dates and social events, there are many instances when women may feel compelled to keep up with the drinking habits of the opposite sex. However, women not only tend to weigh less than men but they have less body water to dilute the alcohol, which means they tend to get more drunk more quickly. To minimize the risks of alcohol on your health, try to keep within the recommended guidelines for alcohol consumption and alternate alcohol with soft drinks.
Wearing the wrong bra size
It is thought that more than 70 per cent of women are wearing the wrong bra size. However, wearing a badly fitted bra can not only affect the look of your clothes, but research suggests it can cause a range of health problems including back, neck and breast pain, breathing difficulties, poor posture, skin irritation, circulation problems and even irritable bowel syndrome. Rather than guessing your size, make sure you get measured to ensure you are getting the support you need.
Worrying and harboring regrets
Stress is damaging to both our physical and mental health, and women are twice as likely as men to suffer from stress-related disorders, as well as having higher rates of depression and anxiety. While it is thought there may be biological reasons for this, worrying about the future and dwelling on regrets can also add to our problems, with research suggesting that women are more than twice as likely as men to harbor regrets over lost loves and broken relationships.
Obsessing over appearance
While both genders suffer from body insecurity, many women tend to overly obsess over their idea of the “perfect” body. Research findings published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology found that 16 per cent of the normal or underweight women studied believed themselves to be overweight, while a study commissioned by Dove found that 90 per of women wanted to change at least one aspect of their appearance. Body insecurity not only affects our mental health, but it can also lead to physical damage caused by extreme diets, yo-yo dieting, eating disorders and cosmetic surgery.
Emotional eating
While comfort eating affects both genders, research has suggested that men are more likely to reinforce positive emotions with food, while women comfort eat when they’re sad. Women are also more likely to satisfy their cravings with sweet, high calorie foods. Rather than letting your waistline suffer next time you’re feeling blue, try distracting yourself from cravings by doing something you enjoy, or boost your endorphins and health with an uplifting workout.
Not getting enough sleep
Not only can lack of sleep make us look and feel at our worst, but insufficient shut-eye can also lead to increased accidents, calorie consumption and heart disease risk. Unluckily for women, statistics suggest that sleep problems affect more women than men, while a study by the University of Michigan found that women are more than twice as likely to give up sleep to care for others. Unfortunately, sleep has been found to affect women’s blood pressure and mood more than men’s, making it imperative that you do your best to get a good night’s sleep.
Putting themselves last
Not only are women more likely to compromise their sleeping habits to care for children and others, they are also prone to putting their own wants and needs at the bottom of a hectic to-do list of chores and obligations. To avoid running yourself into the ground, learn to sometimes say no to those requests and commitments that are less than essential, and make sure you set aside some “me” time each week to do something enjoyable just for you.

COUNTRY, PEOPLE AND GOVERNMENT

I am Loyal to my Country.
It is a geographical entity with boundaries .
The Government is not the same as Country. The Government comprises of SOME PEOPLE. These people may or may not be loyal to my country.
I reserve the right to decide and choose to take action to protect my country especially when some people who were in Government yesterday are in jails today and many more deserve to go there.
The people of any country need to guard their country from the Government all the time by being vigilant.

OSAMA'S HIJACKERS IN MY INDIA - INDIA'S 9/11 AVERTED
|
Mar 1, 2012 2:01 am

Scattered intelligence transcripts, & e-mail exchanges have revealed Osama (May Lord Rama and Allah jointly bless his putrid soul and the watery grave) had targeted India and dry runs for the final countdown were, in fact, undertaken.
However, given the peculiar circumstances in and out of this country, the plans went awry, abandoned and US of A, a softer target, selected. What were the problems faced and why were the meticulously laid plans forced to be abandoned despite the fact that the al Qaida had slipped in (the aircrafts) undetected and armed !
Read on as to the causes of failure (and be proud to be an INDIAN !!)
Flight 1 : Failed to take off due to a technical snag which took two days to clear ! Meanwhile all aircrafts were grounded as a precaution
Flight 2 : Was inadvertantly (?) overbooked : so the operatives were forced to be offloaded despite confirmed seats. (possibly a last minute VIP entourage)
Flight 3 : This one did take off, but was forced to land at Jaipur due to an acute fuel shortage. The reason : due to power failure at the take off station the hijacker pilots (both of whom were pretending to be sardars) and a transgender air 'hostass' hijacker had to dry their hair before take off. This was undertaken by starting the engines and standing in the hot jetwash for the hair to dry and then get their turbans and hairdo back in place before finally taking off. In the process almost half the amount of fuel was utilised prior to taking off.
Can't hurt the religious sentiments you see !
Flight 4 : Was on the approach to the Quatub Minar (the target) when suddenly there was turmoil in the aircraft : it transpired that the pilot and the co pilot had a tiff regarding the air hostess who finally took the controls and guided (or glided) the aircraft on to the tarmac ! Oof what an opportunity lost !
Flight 5 : Again a good take off very confidant of success : suddenly the aircraft commenced its descent : landed in an unmarked air strip in Madhya Pradesh ! Took us three days to reach Delhi by bullock cart. (Railway strike and the bus operators sympathising with their rail counterparts !)
Flight 6 : The operatives even got to the cockpit (cash changed hands). Alas a sudden engine snag forced the plane to land in Haryana. They took a day to reach Delhi by a state transport bus which needed repairs enroute !
Flight 7 : Going was smooth till an argument broke out between a passanger (later identified as Laloo Prasad Yadav) and the cabin crew : his hoodlums diverted the flight to Patna promising lucrative incentives to displace Nitish Kumar and so rested the Osama plan !

A FUNNY STORY - OSAMA BIN LADEN ON CHINA
|
Feb 22, 2012 12:35 am

NO OFFENCE TO ANY OF OUR CHINESE FRIENDS OR THOSE OF CHINESE ORIGIN ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
Bin Laden said: China is the world's only country we absolutely cannot mess with
What a joke !!!
Very Interesting
Bin Laden said: China is the world's only country we absolutely cannot mess with
The reason is this: al-Qaeda terrorists had made 8 attacks on the Chinese with the following results:
One person was to explode a bomb in Beijing Xizhimen (the main northwest gate of Beijing) but he lost his way in the three-dimensional traffic bridge;
One person in Shanghai was to take a bus to explode a suicide bomb in the bus, but it was so crowded he could not get into a bus for two hours;
One person was to bomb a supermarket in Wuhan, but found that the bomb remote control was stolen;
One person wanted to bomb government buildings in Chengdu, but was stopped at the door by the security staff and arrested as an East Turkistan separatist, and was beaten and interrogated;
One person succeeded in bombing a Hebei mine, with hundreds of people dead and wounded, and then returned to the al-Qaeda center, but even after six months, failed to see any news reports on the success of the bombing，he was considered by the organization to claim a false victory and was executed (this is the most pathetic!);
One person had tried to bomb Guangzhou, but as he came off the train, a motorcycle robber (flying car robber) snatched his bag (containing the bomb) from him;
One person who arrived in Xi'an lost contact, and was later found at the hospital in a state of coma. Doctors said it was the result of him eating not only "black-hearted" food products, but he also drank fake alcohol, and would possibly turn into a "vegetable" (vegetative state);
Later, bin Laden tried to send a female terrorist to blow up Hainan Island, but she was cheated into prostitution!
Finally, bin Laden had to say: Remember! ! China is the world's only country we absolutely cannot mess with!

Pierre, a brave French fighter pilot, takes his girlfriend, Marie, out for a pleasant little picnic by the River Seine. It's a beautiful day and love is in the air. Marie leans over to Pierre and says, "Pierre, kiss me!" Our hero grabs a bottle of Merlot and splashes it on Marie's lips.
"What are you doing, Pierre?" says the startled Marie. "I am Pierre, the famous French fighter pilot! When I have red meat, I like to have red wine!" She smiles and they start kissing. When things began to heat up a little, Marie says, "Pierre, kiss me lower."
Our hero tears her blouse open, grabs a bottle of Chardonnay and starts pouring it all over her breasts. "Pierre! What are you doing?", asks the bewildered Marie. "I am Pierre the famous French fighter pilot! When I have white meat, I like to have white wine!" They resume their passionate interlude and things really steam up.
Marie leans close to his ear and whispers, "Pierre, kiss me lower!" Our hero, grabs a bottle of Cognac and pours it in her lap. He then strikes a match and lights it on fire. Marie shrieks and dives into the river.
Standing waist deep, Marie throws her arms upwards and screams furiously, "PIERRE, what in the hell do you think you're doing?"
Our hero stands up, defiantly, and says, "I am Pierre the famous French fighter pilot! When I go down, I go down in flames!"

HAPPINESS

~ Constant happiness can accomplish much. As the sun melts the ice, a smile causes misunderstandings, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate...
~ Laughter is to life what shock absorbers are to automobiles. It won't take the potholes out of the road, but it sure makes the ride smoother...
~ Don't sweat the small stuff. It's all small stuff.
And if you can't fight and you can't flee, flow...
~ Forget the times of your distress, but never forget what they thought you...
~ Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful...
~ Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully...
~ Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer...
~ Success is getting what you want.
Happiness is wanting what you get...
~ Every once in a while, take the scenic route...
~ If you choose one characteristic that would get you through life, choose a sense of humor...
~ The secret to happiness is to count your blessings while others are adding up their troubles...
~ Those who can't laugh at themselves, leave the job to others...
~ Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind...
~ If you continue to live in the past, your life is history...
~ Don't curse the darkness - light a candle...
~ Always live by this credo: Have a little laugh at life and look around you for happiness instead of sadness. Laughter will always bring you out of unhappy situations. Even in your darkest moment, you usually can find something to laugh about if you try hard enough...
~ The greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions, not on our circumstances...
If you believe that I put these thoughts together, allow me, kindly, to correct that. I just read them and CP'd them because I believe these are all worth sharing with all of us on SFF and elsewhere.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL.
