PREGNANT DEER –  a fascinating story! 
In a forest, a pregnant deer is about to give birth.
She finds a remote grass field near a strong-flowing river.
This seems a safe place.
Suddenly labour pains begin.
 
At the same moment, dark clouds gather around above & lightning starts a forest fire. She looks to her left & sees a hunter with his bow extended pointed at her.
To her right, she spots a hungry lion approaching her.
 
What can the pregnant deer do?She is in labour!
 
What will happen?
Will the deer survive?
Will she give birth to a fawn?
Will the fawn survive?
Or will everything be burnt by the forest fire?
Will she perish to the hunters’ arrow?
Will she die a horrible death at the hands of the hungry lion approaching her?
 
She is constrained by the fire on the one side & the flowing river on te other & boxed in by her natural predators.
 
What does she do?
She focuses on giving birth to a new life?
 
The sequence of events that follows are:
 
-         Lightning strikes & blinds the hunter.
-         He releases the arrow which zips past the deer & strikes the hungry lion.
-         It starts to rain heavily, & the forest fire is slowly doused by the rain.
-         The deer gives birth to a healthy fawn.
 
 REFLECTION:

In our life too, there are moments of choice when we are confronted on all sides with negative thoughts and possibilities.

Some thoughts are so powerful that they overcome us & overwhelm us.

May be  we can learn from the deer.
The priority of the deer, in that given moment, was simply to give birth to a baby.

The rest was not in her hands & any action or reaction that changed her focus would have likely resulted in death or disaster.
 

In the midst of any storm, do keep FOCUS, HOPE  and FAITH on God always.
He will never ever disappoint . NEVER.

A Story to Help 'U' STOP Worrying...

The Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see & asked the students “How much do you think this glass weighs?”

.

‘50gms!’….. ‘100gms! …. ‘125gms’… the students answered.

.

“I really don’t know unless I weigh it,” said the professor, “but, my question is:

What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?”…. .
‘Nothing’ …..The students said.

.
‘Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?’ the professor asked.
‘Your arm would begin to ache’ said one of the students

.
“You’re right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?”
“Your arm could go numb; you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis & have to go to hospital for sure!”
….. Ventured another student & all the students laughed
.
“Very good.
But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?” Asked the professor.
‘No’…. Was the answer.
“Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?”
.
The students were puzzled.
“What should I do now to come out of pain?” asked professor again.
“Put the glass down!” said one of the students
.
“Exactly!” said the professor.
Life’s problems are something like this.
.
Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK.
Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache.
.
Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything.
.
It’s important to think of the challenges or problems in your life, But EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to ‘PUT THEM DOWN’ at the end of every day before you go to sleep…

.
That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh &strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!

.

Moral 

So, when you start your day today, Remember friend to ‘PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY! ‘

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength ~ Corrie Ten Boom

Life is short, and it's up to you to make it sweet and it's impossible without change

It was the coldest winter ever. Many animals died because of the cold.

The hedgehogs, realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep warm. This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest companions.

After awhile, they decided to distance themselves one from the other and they began to die, alone and frozen. So they had to make a choice: either accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the Earth.

Wisely, they decided to go back to being together. They learned to live with the little wounds caused by the close relationship with their companions in order to receive the heat that came from the others. This way they were able to survive.

The best relationship is not the one that brings together perfect people, but when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others & can admire the other person’s good qualities.


Moral of the story:

“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.”  George Bernard Shaw 

"Life is short, and it is up to you to make it sweet."  Sadie Delany

Story of Pencil and Eraser

Pencil: I’m sorry.

Eraser: For what?

Pencil: I’m sorry, you get hurt because of me. Whenever I make a mistake, you’re always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself and get smaller and smaller each time.

Eraser: That’s true, but I don’t really mind. You see, I was made to do this, I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong, even though one day I know I’ll be gone. I’m actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying, I will not be happy if I see you sad.

The conversation between pencil and eraser is same as in our life....

“Our Parents are just like the eraser, and we are the pencil. They’re always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way they get hurt and become smaller (older and eventually pass on).

Take care of your Parents, treat them with kindness and most importantly love them.

Loving someone doesn't need a reason. If u can explain why u love someone, its called 'Like'. If u cannot explain, its simply called 'Love'.

You are special. Don't ever forget it! Never

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a Rupee 500 note.

In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this Rupee 500 note?"

Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this note to one of you

but first let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the note up.

He then asked, "Who still wants it?"

Still the hands were up in the air.

"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and
started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all
crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson.
No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not
decrease in value. It was still worth Rupee 500/-.


Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt
by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as
though we are worthless.
But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose
your value.

You are special. Don't ever forget it! Never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams.

" VALUE HAS A VALUE ONLY IF ITS VALUE IS VALUED"

OBSERVATION Lesson

1st year students of MBBS were attending their 1st anatomy class. 

They all gathered around the surgery table with a real dead dog.
 

The Professor started class by telling two important qualities as a Doctor.
 

The 1st is that

‘NEVER BE DISGUSTED FOR ANYTHING ABOUT BODY’

For e.g.
He inserted his finger in dog’s mouth & on drawing back tasted it in his own mouth.

Then he said them to do the same.

The students hesitated for several minutes.

But eventually everyone inserted their fingers in dog’s mouth & then tasted it.
 

When everyone finished,

the Professor looked at them and said:

The most important 2nd quality is OBSERVATION,
 

I inserted my Middle finger but tasted the Index finger.
 

Now learn to pay attention………

Salt Story

Yesterday one of my friend(Aspiring Director) asked Me, Tell me some good love story ………..

After a long brainstorming discussion  , We failed to identify the love stories that are good indeed…………

In most of the stories we could see dumping girls, tragedy ends, Artificial beginnings , cruel vilans……………..

I was wondering as if a good love story  will  become a mission impossible to find…………………

Somehow,  I remembered a story that is Nice ……………………….I thought of sharing that story with You All…………..

He met her at a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he was so normal, nobody paid attention to him.

At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised but due to being polite, she promised. They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, and she thought to herself, "Please, let me go home..."

Suddenly he asked the waiter, "Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee." Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously, "Why you have this hobby?" He replied, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea, I liked playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there." While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home... Then she also started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family.

That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story. They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married to the prince, and then they were living the happy life... And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that's the way he liked it.

After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said, "My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life's lie. This was the only lie I said to you---the salty coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt. It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead. I never thought that could be the start of our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything... Now I'm dying, I afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth, I don't like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste... But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life! Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for the second time, still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again."

Her tears made the letter totally wet. Someday, someone asked her, "What's the taste of salty coffee?" She replied, "It's sweet."

Hoping you to like  the salt story as well………..:-)

 

Interesting story!

Don't stay late in office.... Interesting Love story!!!...

Read it when you have time. Very nice story for people working late night.


***********************************************************************************************************
Neha opened her mail box and saw a new mail from a new person
Hi Neha, I see you every night sitting in the office till very late.

Don’t you have friends? Don’t you feel like talking to your roommate?
You should not sit very late in the office. this is a genuine advice from me.

Thanks,
Rahul Mehra-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After reading the mail, Neha was very angry on the sender. She simply deleted the mail and said to herself “who is he to give me any advice?”. She again got back to her work.

After that night, every night Rahul would keep sending her mails and Neha would simply delete them without even reading the content of the mail. But one fine night the subject line attracted her and she had to open the mail.

The subject line of the mail was “Hi Gorgeous”.
Hi Gorgeous,

Yes today you are looking very gorgeous in this red saree. I know you don’t read my mails as you don’t like the advices I give you.

So today I wont give you any advice, I will just say that I am love with you. You know you are very beautiful and if you take care of
yourself many men will fall in love with you.

I am sure someday you will also fall in love with me. And then we will go out for a date.

Oh before I end the mail I must tell you that the best thing about is that smile. Or is it those intense which needs some sleep at the moment.

Take care dear.
Love you.
Rahul Mehra.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After reading the mail she was shocked. A person she had never met, never seen, never spoke to was saying that he was in love with her. She started thinking was this always in his mind. How did he get her id? Where had he seen her? Many questions like this came in her mind. Finally she thought of giving a warning and replied to his mail.
Hi Rahul,

I don’t want to spoil your career but if you don’t stop sending me mails I will raise an ASHI against you.

Thanks and Regards,
Neha Jain-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After this mail, the mails from Rahul stopped coming in Neha’s inbox. She thought that finally Rahul has got scared and wont be mailing her again.

After several nights, Neha was resting on her chair and her eyes closed. When she opened her eyes she saw Rahul’s mail in her mailbox.

Hi Gorgeous,

With your closed eyes you were dreaming about me, right? Oh sorry for not sending any mails in the last few days.

I was a little busy. I am sure you would have missed me a lot.

One more thing before I forget I want to say that I am not scared of ASHI.

An ASHI cant be a reason to stop loving you.

Love you.
Rahul Mehra-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neha was twisting her hair and putting them behind her ears. At that moment itself another mail came from Rahul,
Hi Gorgeous,

Now stop playing with your hair and leave the office. it is very late.

Love.
Rahul Mehra-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neha was shocked as to how did this person know what she was doing on her desk. She got up to check whether anyone was there in her floor but could
find only empty cubicles. She thought maybe he made a wild guess and decided to leave the office. before leaving she saw another mail from Rahul.
Hi Neha,

Searching for me??? You have started falling in love with me. J

Love you.

Rahul Mehra-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neha was shocked and scared to hell. She simply switched off her machine and ran outside the office. in the next few days she would not open any mails sent by Rahul. One night a mail with subject line “Don’t be scared of me” came to her mailbox. First she thought to ignore the mail then she thought lets see what has Rahul written this time.
Hi Neha,

Don’t be scared of me. I can say that you are scared of me because of the way you ran out from the office the last time you read my mail.

I know few minutes back you had gone to have coffee. You are thinking how I know this because I can feel you around me.

Only once you also start feeling me you will know that I am near to you.

Very near. Just sitting next to you.

I will wait for the night when you start having the same feelings for me.

Will always love you.

Rahul Mehra-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now Neha started thinking was Rahul really in love with her? What he was saying was it true? But how could he know so much about her? How could he

say what she was doing and what not? Neha thought lets give a try and see whether Rahul is always in love with her or not. From that night she also

started replying to his mail.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Neha,

Do you feel bad if I call you gorgeous?

Love you.

Rahul Mehra-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neha’s reply:
Yes Rahul. I don’t like this word.

You can address me as Neha, isn’t it short and simple. and I love my name

a lot.

Thanks and Regards,

Neha Jain-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rahul’s reply:
Point noted Neha. But when I am happy, excited I would call you with some

special name at that time.

Tomorrow you have your certification so all the best for that.

Love you.

Rahul Mehra-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neha was again shocked as to how does he know about her certification. She

had never told him. She replied Rahul,
Who is the person who is giving you details about me? I had not told you

about my certification how do you know it?

Thanks and regards,

Neha Jain-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rahul replied back to her
I know it because I am in front of you. Cant you see me? Cant you feel me

close to you?

I also know that after 3 days you have your appraisal. Now this you have

not told anyone. Just your PM knows about it.

Do you think your PM will give me all these details?

Love you.

Rahul Mehra-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neha not sure of the answer. She knew her PM would not have told Rahul all this but how did Rahul know so much about her was a mystery for her.

Finally she thought she will talk to her PM, Rohan.

Next day, she went to her PM’s desk.
“Hi Rohan. I wanted to ask you something”.
Rohan:- “Sure Neha. Are having any issues?”
Neha:- “No. actually I wanted to know about a person named Rahul Mehra.”
Rohan was shocked on hearing that name. PM:- “How did you come across this

name. has anyone told you about him?”
Neha:- “No one has said anything to me about him. Few days back he started

sending me e-mails. First I ignored but then he would give such details

which I did just few minutes back. He even knows my appraisal date.”
Rohan:- “Are you sure you got mails from Rahul Mehra only?”
Neha:- “Yes very much. But why do you looked shock?”
Rohan:- “Because Rahul Mehra died 2 years back. He use to sit at the same

place where you are sitting. How can a dead person send mails to you.”
Neha was shocked. She didn’t know how to react to this.
Rohan:- “If you don’t believe me then you can try finding his name in the

telephone directory. Maybe someone told you about him and because of work

stress you started imagining that he is sending you mails.”
Neha:- “I am not imagining anything. He has really send me a mail. I can

show you in my mailbox.”
Rohan:- “Okay Neha I believe you but still I think you should take a break

and go home.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neha was still in shock with the news she got from Rohan. She just did a search on telephone directory for a name with Rahul Mehra and page
Returned no records. She again checked the mail id and employee number details. She did a search many times that day by putting various combinations but the
Search page displayed the same message “No matches found for the given search criteria”. She could not believe that someone could hack the system and
send mails to her from an non-existing id. She attached the mails sent by Rahul and sent it to Rohan as a proof that she was not dreaming.

On seeing the attached mails even Rohan was in shock. He came to Neha’s desk.
Rohan:- “I think by mistake his id has not been deleted and someone who knows about it is playing with it.”
Neha:- “But I checked the details on telephone directory there are no records available for this id.”
Rohan:- “Talk to the CCD people and see what they have to say.”
She called up the CCD people. They took control over her system and looked at the mail sent by Rahul Mehra. The mail was sent from the from the same
computer which Neha was using. The time stamp at which the mails were sent Neha had logged in. Also there was no evidence that a remote desktop connection
was made or mail was sent through web mail. Even the CCD people were clueless as to how a mail has been sent from a non-existing id and from Neha’ s system
itself.

There were no viruses or Trojan’s or any other kind of threats on Neha’ s system. Her anti-virus was up to date. The whole day was gone in finding a
loophole as to how did Neha get such a mail in her mailbox. Neha was tired from the day’s happening and so she decided to leave early from the office that
day.

The next day when Neha came back, she saw a mail from Rahul Mehra. She didn’t know whether she should delete that mail or read that mail. She was
scared to open the mail. Somehow she gained some courage and opened the mail. The context of the mail was:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Neha,

Good to see that you left the office early tonight. I know Rohan told you about my death.

I was also a workaholic like you. I would sit late in the office, even when no one was around me.

I just being at office. I had no friends, no social life. Even on weekends I would use to come to office.

I missed all the fun in my life. Even my death happened at office while I was working.

My dead body was found by the house keeping guy and the security guard at the reception.

I took a lot of work stress which my conscious mind could not bear that day. I ignored all the health problems I was having.

And finally on that night (20. 10. 09, 11:24 PM) all these reasons became responsible for my death.

Now you know why I am not scared of ASHI.

But yes if I was alive then also I won’t be scared of ASHI because I have really fallen in love with you but we can’t be together until your death.

Now the choice is yours whether you will kill yourself on your own or whether I need to do the honors.

Waiting for your death. Love you always.
Rahul Mehra
Don’t stay late @ office  ….  Some love stories have ghost in it…!!

Modern Panchantra Story !!!

Once upon a time, there was a software engineer who used to develop
programs on his Pentium machine, sitting under a tree on the banks of a
river. He used to earn his bread by selling those programs in the Sunday
market. One day, while he was working, his machine tumbled off the table
and fell in the river. Encouraged by the Panchatantra story of his
childhood (the woodcutter and the axe), he started praying to the River
Goddess. The River Goddess wanted to test him and so appeared only after
one month of rigorous prayers. The engineer told her that he had lost
his
computer in the river. As usual, the Goddess wanted to test his honesty.
She showed him a match box and asked, "Is this your computer ?"
Disappointed by the Goddess' lack of computer awareness, the engineer
replied, "No." She next showed him a pocket-sized calculator and asked
if
that was his. Annoyed, the engineer said "No, not at all!!"  Finally,
she
came up with his own Pentium machine and asked if it was his.  The
engineer, left with no option, sighed and said "Yes." The River Goddess
was happy with his honesty. She was about to give him all three items,
but
before she could make the offer, the engineer asked her, "Don't you know
that you're supposed to show me some better computers before bringing up
my
own ?"  The River Goddess, angered at this, replied, "I know that, you
stupid idiot! The first two things I showed you were the Trillennium and
the Billennium, the latest computers from IBM!" So saying, she
disappeared
with the Pentium!!

Moral: If you're not up-to-date with technology trends, it is better
keep
your mouth shut and let people think you're a genius, than to open your
mouth and remove all doubt!!!

Ant mgmt story

Every day, a small ant arrives at work very early and starts work immediately.
She produces a lot and she was happy.
The Chief, a lion, was surprised to see that the ant was working without supervision.
He thought if the ant can produce so much without supervision, wouldn’t she produce even more if she
had a supervisor! So he recruited a cockroach who had extensive experience as supervisor and who was famous forwriting excellent reports.
The cockroach’s first decision was to set up a clocking in attendance system. He also needed a secretary to help him write and type his reports and …... he recruited a spider, who managed the archives and monitored all phone calls.
The lion was delighted with the cockroach's reports and asked him to produce graphs to describe production rates and to analyze trends, so that he could use them for presentations at Board‘s meetings.
So the cockroach had to buy a new computer and a laser printer and ... ... recruited a fly to manage the ITdepartment.
The ant, who had once been so productive and relaxed, hated this new plethora of paperwork and meetings which used up most of her time…!
The lion came to the conclusion that it was high time to nominate a person in charge of the department
where the ant worked. The position was given to the cicada, whose first decision was to buy a carpet and an ergonomic chair for his office. The new person in charge, the cicada, also needed a computer and a personal assistant ,who he brought from his previous department, to help him prepare a Work and Budget Control Strategic Optimisation Plan …
The Department where the ant works is now a sad place, where nobody laughs anymore and everybody has become upset...
It was at that time that the cicada convinced the boss , the lion, of the absolute necessity to start a climatic study of the environment .
Having reviewed the charges for running the ant’s department , the lion found out that the production was much less than before .
So he recruited the owl , a prestigious and renowned consultant to carry out an audit and suggest solutions.
The owl spent three months in the department and came up with an enormous report , in several volumes,
that concluded :“ The department is overstaffed ...”
Guess who the lion fires first?
The ant , of course, because she
“showed lack of motivation and had a negative attitude".
MORAL: - Positive attitude with true motivation always speed up work with good results.
