Does 50ps matter.

Hmmmmmmmmm is this the condition of our educated people. Very funny thing happened on the way to Mysore.
We were about to visit Krishna temple near Channapatna. My husband went to have a darshan. While I was in the car, heard some noise. I peeped out to look what was that. There I saw a person fighting for 50ps. It did not take much time to realise what might have happened.
Next to the temple there was a public toilet which said pay and use. The person who was arguing with the caretaker of the toilet was almost senior citizen. His problem was why to pay 50ps to him. The caretaker was explaining politely that he has to pay the cleaners but, this old person did not pay at all. I was really wondering for 50ps why this old man fought. U KNOW WE CANNOT KEEP OUT COUNTY CLEAN OR WE COULD MAKE IT LIKE ANY OTHER COUNTRY. We never think big.
I was about to go and pay that guy my hubby entered the car and had to leave the place.

Beggers

I always think why we see lot of beggars in India, near the temples, on the roads, near signals. Don't you think we are the people who make them grow more in numbers? We encourage them to beg since we all are good hearted people who have money at least to give them. Whenever we see mother with a baby, when we see old age person, when we see handicapped person, we do give them money why? We think that he can at least have some food. Do we know how many make use of that money? No one knows what they will do from that money. Some might buy food, some might drink, etc., I feel so bad of their situations to beg. I feel they can earn and live but no, they want easy life. There are instances where parents send their children for begging, even we see they put the child on the footpath and make people put money. When I visit few temples, I really feel no one is there to control this. Few beggars even come and hold your legs, disgusting is isn’t it.

Once I met a friend of mine who took the small boy who was begging with him and got him the food. I was wondering what was he up to. He said "if I would have given him the money he might have misused it that why". There was a smile on my face. Yes we learn every day, every moment. That day I decided, if I am going to help in the same way.

Hey, whenever you give money to any beggar think ten times. There are several organizations which are into helping poor and need ones. Either contact them or get them food instead of money.

PEACE OF MIND (I got a mail guys read it)

Once Buddha was walking from one town to another town with a few of his

followers. While they were traveling, they happened to pass a lake. They

stopped there and Buddha told one of his disciples, "I am thirsty. Pls do

get me some water from that lake there."

The disciple walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he noticed that

right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing through the lake. As

a result, the water became very muddy, very turbid. The disciple thought,

"How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink!"

So he came back and told Buddha, "The water in there is very muddy. I

don't think it is fit to drink." After about half an hour, again Buddha

asked the same disciple to go back to the lake and get him some water to

drink. This continued for a few times.



After sometime, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back.

The disciple reached the lake to find the lake absolutely clean and clear

with pure water in it. The mud had settled down and the water above it

looked fit to be had. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it

to Buddha.

Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the disciple and

said," See what you did to make the water clean. You let it be.... and the

mud settled down on its own - and you got clear water"



Your mind is also like that! When it is disturbed, just let it be.

Give it a little time. It will settle down on its own.

You don't have to put in any effort to calm it down.

Having 'Peace of Mind' is not a strenuous job.

It will happen. It is effortless !!!

In life everything goes on................Keep Going and Keep Smiling

..............not bcoz of something, but inspite of everything !!!

11. Ganesh can you imagine the cost. No ways...........


Singapore as the name indicates Lion city. It’s a beautiful county. I was really happy to visit Singapore.

As we entered the Airport of Singapore I was surprised to see the management. I was surprised to see many Indians there. Cleanliness which we would never find in India. People are obedient to the rules and regulations. In India we keep only our house clean not the surroundings. Why?
Why are we like this? We are not bothered if the plastic covers are spreaded all over.
Who cares it is not my job?

There is lot to see in Singapore. Buildings, traffic, malls, china town shopping mall, sentosa an entertainment place, song of the sea, night safari a unique thing, bird park etc.

Other then hot weather and getting water for drinking paying 2 dollars for half a liter was little expensive. Which is 70rs converted to Indian money.

A sad thing

We were traveling back from Mysore to Bangalore. I wanted to visit the Somanathpura Temple. We had never been to this place before even though we traveled to Mysore many a times. It was my wish that I wanted to see the temple which was built by Hoysalas. It is really nice thing to see the artistic thing in that and the stone built temples. Finally, we lead to the Somanath pura route which is 32 km from Srirangapatana.


We did not know any of the details of this temple. Only Information got was the road is not nice. When the Indian Roads are fine tell me. WE SPEAK ABOUT INFRASTRUCTURE AND OTHER THINGS. In a speed of 20 kms we had to drive. No proper roads, no boards. We felt so bad that I felt we will return back because of the roads. But my Husband said no we will visit. So finally, with the help of villagers we did reach the place by 1hr 15 minutes. By the time we reached there we heard " odi odi bagilu haktha idare". They meant it is closing run fast. We took the tickets and ran inside but the temple inside part we could not manage to see. The purohit had gone closing the temple's main door. Watch man was shouting we are closing come out soon. After the bad roads and journey we had to return back without darshan.

A nice one

There was a man who said, "I never knew what happiness was until I got married...and then it was too late!"

Love is one long sweet dream, and marriage is the alarm clock.

They say when a man holds a woman's hand before marriage, it is love; after marriage, it is self-defense.

When a newly married man looks happy, we know why. But when a ten-year married man looks happy, we wonder why.

There was this lover who said that he would go through hell for her. They got married, and now he is going through hell.

A Code of Honor: Never approach a friend's girlfriend or wife with mischief as your goal.

There are just too many women in the world to justify that sort of dishonorable behavior. Unless she's really attractive. -- Bruce Friedman

A coward is a hero with a wife, kids, and a mortgage. -- Marvin Kitman

A gentleman is one who never swears at his wife while ladies are present.

A husband is living proof that a wife can take a joke.

A husband is what's left of the lover after the nerve has been extracted. -- Helen Rowland

Many a wife thinks her husband is the world's greatest lover. But she can never catch him at it.

Marriage is a matter of give and take, but so far I haven't been able to find anybody who'll take what I have to give. -- Cass Daley

Marriage is a mutual relationship if both parties know when to be mute.

Marriage is a rest period between romances.

Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering.

Marriage is a trip between Niagara Falls and Reno.

Marriage is an institution--but who wants to live in an institution?

Marriage is bliss. Ignorance is bliss. Ergo...

Marriage is like a hot bath. Once you get used to it, it's not so hot.

For hard workers Only

Hey all this one is nice one I always wnated to tell people who spend more time in the office. Their childern need them read it..............


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 is it?" 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."

"Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down.Looking up, he said, "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. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."

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 to think: 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, seeing 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 with you."

Share this story with someone you like....

But even better, share Rs.100 worth of time with someone you love. 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 some time with those who really matter to us, those close ! To our hearts.

THINK POSITIVE

This is nice - finding positive out of every negative - which we don't always manage to do.

I am thankful...

1. For the husband who snores all night, because he is at home asleep with me and not with someone else.

2. For my teenage daughter who is complaining about doing dishes, because that means she is at home & not on the streets.

3. For the taxes that I pay because it means that I am employed.

4. For the mess to clean after a party because it means that I have been surrounded by friends.

5. For the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.

6. For my shadow that watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine.

7. For a floor that needs mopping, and windows that need cleaning because it means I have a home.

8. For all the complaining I hear about the government because it means that we have freedom of speech.

9. For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking and that I have been blessed with transportation.

10. For the noise I have to bear from my neighbours because it means that I can hear.

11. For the pile of laundry and ironing because it means I have clothes to wear.

12. For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been capable of working hard.

13. For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I am still alive.

AND FINALLY ....... For received Sweet e-mails because it means I have friends who are thinking of me, at least.

Good thing about Love

If you love someone because you think that he or she is really gorgeous...
then it's not love..
it's - Infatuation. ..


If you love someone because you think that you shouldn't leave him because others think that you shouldn't...
then it's not love..
it's - Compromise.. .


If you love someone because you think that you cannot live with out his touch....
then it's not love..
it's - Lust...


If you love someone because you have been kissed by him...
then it's not love..
it's - Inferiority Complex...


If you love someone because you cannot leave him thinking that it would hurt his feelings..
then it's not love..
it's - Charity...


If you love someone because you share every thing with him...
then it's not love..
it's - Friendship.. .


but if you feel the pain of the other person more than him even when he is stable
and you cry for him..
that's - LOVE...

Lajja A hindi Movie

After a long time I happen to watch an Hindi movie Lajja. Which was released in 2001.
Directed by Rajkuamr Santoshi. It is really touching. I don't know if it was an hit but the fact is that the film says about the status and the respect of an Indian women. Even today we find these things but it vanishes because even now our elders never want to fight in this society. I have seen so many. who were tolerating all the tortures happening to them but still digesting all these and going on with life. I never saw most of them fighting against restrictions. WHY? even today we find male dominating society. We say that Sita, Drupadi, and etc were born in this country and take their names but even today single women walking in the late night is dangerous. Even today at working place or anywhere else women need to face many problems.

Even today we see many women struggling in their lives to bring their kids up all alone.
I have seen my a lady working at few houses alone earnign for the lively hood of her childern. I feel so bad when see works for more money just to make her childern study. We find many of daily wage people who work in construction sites and other places drink and abuse their wives.

Many organizations are working towards this still women does not disclose torure happining to them. Can't help.............

Sweet Moment

Today morning I saw my 14 months old daughter busy with my Sandals trying to accommodate her small sweet foot. thought will finish putting cloths for drying and without her notice I went to the backyard of the house to put the cloths for drying. After sometime she realised that I was not there and she went inside calling mama mama. By that time I came back and thought of observing what will she do next. She first went to the kitchen, and our room, toilet. She could not find me then she started screaming mamma mamma. I could not wait to pick her and hug and kiss her.......
Parenting is really a sweetest thing on this earth..............

Auto

U know in Bangalore getting an Auto is very difficult to the desired destinations. I have faced these problems. Auto drivers like to sit the whole day waiting for long trip than helping people and earn for themselves. In the areas like Vijayanagar, Banashankari, and Hebbal I have faced these problems. Upon asking the drivers they say we can't come. We need to pay 40 rs for 3 kilometers form the place where we stay. Wherein it comes minimum in the meter of an auto. Funny na. I feel taht we spend more money only for transportation.

Plastic Covers

Plastic covers everywhere, Sometimes I really get fed up with the plastic covers at home. When we buy something we get them in plastic covers, there are several types of plastics, few could be recycled few cannot. Still people who are into grocery use plastics which cannot be recycled.

Few days back one of my friend was speaking about this we cannot do anything since in India the awareness is not there about the dangerous of plastic covers.

Once we heard that a cow had consumed the plastic and it had the choke. after the internal examinations got to know about the plastic cover consumption.

Again we cannot share the plastic toys which are of not good plastic material with children.

I do see plastic ban areas only in few places but even after the board I do not think people understand the problems with the plastics.

We do have awareness for water and other things why not plastic.

I see plastic covers flying in the air like kites feel very bad. alone I can control usage of plastic but need the support from all youth to manage it.

I love visiting Temples

Our Indian temples are so beautiful. We have a nice history of temples. instead of protecting the old monuments we think of new temples.

Hey all don't you guys think so.

I have visited many temples in Karnataka, Kerla, Tamilnadu. They are so beautiful, each and every sculpture says one stories.

Take an example of temple in Trivendrum, or any temple in Kerla or Karnataka like Hampi etc.

Poem

I love this poem, I still remember my lecture explaining this in my 1St PUC


THE CRUTCHES



Seven years I could not walk a step.
When I to the great physician came,
He demanded; why the crutches?
And I told him; I am lame.

He replied; that’s not surprising
Be so good and try once more
If you’re lame, it’s these contraptions,
Fall then! Crawl across the floor!

And he took lovely crutches
Laughing with a fiends grimace
Broke them both across my back and
Threw them in the fire place

Well, I’m cured now, I can walk
Cured by nothing more than laughter
Sometimes though when I see sticks
I walk worse for some hours after.

Real Good One

I got it from one of my friend

MOTHER

Why mother is so special:

When I came home in the rain,

Brother asked why didn’t you take an umbrella.

Sister advised, Why didn't you wait till rain stopped.

Father angrily warned, only after getting cold, you will realize.

But Mother, while drying my hair, said, stupid rain! Couldn't
it wait, till my child came home?

That Is MOM !

Making childern eat

Ask me, it is very difficult to feed our 15 months old daughter. This was same from 8 months. i do not understand why they refuse to eat. They don't like anything. Doctor says you need to feed them at any cost. If we do not feed them again they lose weight. I never thought that making them eat will be difficult than any task. I try different recipes for her. Children are very smart they like junk food itself. When you make them taste ice cream one should see how they demand again for that. I have decided not to give her chocolates. I do not know how far I will be success full.
After 0ne and a half hour I will be successful in making her eat. Sometimes, she never takes anything. I wonder If I was working and leave her in any baby seater, will they really show concern for all the kids present. I feel children need mother till an age where they can understand that they need to have food by themselves.

Ambegalu Krishna (Crawling Krishna) Temple






















Mallur also known, as Doddamallur is famous for its ancient Sri Aprameya (Vishnu), Sri Rama and Ambegalu Navneetha (crawling Krishna) temples built and expanded by the Chola king Rajendra Simha. It is a village on the banks of river Kanva in Channapatna taluk, Bangalore rural district. Mallur is 60 Kms from Bangalore and 3 Kms from Channapatna. The temple is conveniently situated beside the Bangalore-Mysore highway.
The presiding deity is Lord Sri Aprameya (another name of lord Vishnu), and the idol is carved out of the Saligrama stone found in river Gandaki. The idol is in Abhayahastha posture i.e., his two upper arms are holding the Shanka (conch shell) and Chakra (disc) and the lower arms are holding the Gadha (mace) and Hastha (assuring hands).
The utsava murthy (a small replica of the main idol for taking on a procession in a chariot) is placed in the sandalwood Shukanasika Mantapa (pedestal). The idol of lord Aprameya is beautifully bedecked with jewelry. Sridevi and Bhoodevi idols accompany the lord along with the idol of saint Ramanujacharya.

There is a belief that couples do not have child if pray they will be blessed by lord krishna.

Bangalore Traffic Solution

Nice One Share it with Bangalorians


Bangalore Traffic Solution

Why can't they develop Road Median







On the highways where there are Road Medians in between. Imagine if government plan to put some flower plants where when everyone travel will feel nice seeing those flowers in between. I feel even people will get some job. When we saw medians filled with Parthenium plants felt bad.

Mesh put for not to occur Accidents






Mesh has been used by villagers to support the grass



On the highways, we see the steel mesh on the two sides of the highways, which has been put so that village people do not cross the lane, to avoid accidents. No one has thought that even they can break this and make their ways. In India, this happens they break it or steal it. No one is there to moniter this. I did capture few snaps where these meshes have been broken and few places they use it for the support to tie Buffalo and put the grass which they feed to the cows and buffalo. Funny na

Who will stop these things?

Picture taken inside the car(Truck with the wodden polls peeping out)



Recently while travelling, driving on the highways, I did observe few Trucks carrying rods and wooden poles. I was shocked to see them peeping out of the trucks may be 3 feet in length. First of all, night driving is very risky for cars and two wheelers. upon that lots of trucks without lights in the back. While driving one cannot see the vehicle traveling in front because of the high voltage lights of other vehicles on the lane. Imagine a person who is in the speed of 80km who will not happen to see the front lorries with these stuff will go and hit and the rods will be inside the car front part where the driver and the other seater will have a danger.

Mail for me from a friend thought will share with you all

Recession, but life goes on...............

Money has no memory. Experience has. You will never know what the total cost of your education was, but for a lifetime you will recall and relive the memories of schools and colleges. Few years from now, you will forget the amount you paid to settle the hospitalization bill, but will ever cherish having saved your mother's life or the life you get to live with the just born. You won't remember the cost of your honeymoon, but to the last breath remember the experiences of the bliss of togetherness. Money has no memory. Experience has.

Good times and bad times, times of prosperity and times of poverty, times when the future looked so secure and times when you didn't know from where the tomorrow will come... life has been in one way or the other a roller-coaster ride for everyone. Beyond all that abundance and beyond all that deprivation, what remains is the memory of experiences. Sometimes the wallet was full... sometimes even the pocket was empty. There was enough and you still had reasons to frown. There wasn't enough and you still had reasons to smile. Today, you can look back with tears of gratitude for all the times you had laughed together, and also look back with a smile at all the times you cried alone. All in all, life filled you with experiences to create a history of your own self, and you alone can remember them all.



The first time you balanced yourself on your cycle without support... The first time she said 'yes' and it was two years since you proposed... The first cry... the first steps... the first word... the first kiss... all of your child... The first gift you bought for your parents and the first gift your daughter gave you... The first award... the first public appreciation... the first stage performance... And the list is endless... Experiences, with timeless memory... No denying that anything that's material cost money, but the fact remains the cost of the experience will be forgotten, but the experience never.

So, what if it's economic recession? Let it be, but let there not be a recession to the quality of your life. You can still take your parents, if not on a pilgrimage, at least to the local temple. You can still play with your children, if not on an international holiday, at least in the local park. It doesn't cost money to lie down or to take a loved one onto your lap. Nice time to train the employees, create leadership availability and be ready for the wonderful times when they arrive. Hey! Aspects like your health, knowledge development and spiritual growth are not economy dependent.

Time will pass... economy will revive... currency will soon be in current... and in all this; I don't want you to look back and realize you did nothing but stayed in gloom. Recession can make you lose out on money. Let it not make you lose out on experiences... If you are not happy with what you have, no matter how much more you have, you will still not be happy.

Make a statement with the way you live your life: How I feel has nothing to do with how much I have.

KEEP SMILING..

Good One

Maybe. . we were supposed to meet the
wrong people before meeting the right
one so that, when we finally meet the
right person, we will know how to be
grateful for that gift.


Maybe . . . it is true that we don't
know what we have until we lose it,
but it is also true that we don't know
what we have been missing until it
arrives.
Maybe . . . the brightest future will
always be based on a forgotten past;
after all, you can't go on
successfully in life until you let go
of your past mistakes, failures and
heartaches.


Maybe . . you should hope for enough
happiness to make you sweet, enough
trials to make you strong, enough
sorrow to keep you human, and enough
hope to make you happy.
Maybe . . . the happiest of people
don't necessarily have the best of
everything; they just make the most of
everything that comes along their way.


Maybe .. . . the best kind of friend is
the kind you can sit on a porch and
swing with, never say a word, and then
walk away feeling like it was the best
conversation you've ever had.

Maybe . . . happiness waits for all
those who cry, all those who hurt, all
those who have searched, and all those
who have tried, for only they can
appreciate the importance of all the
people who have touched their lives.


May be . . you should do something nice
for someone every single day, even if
it is simply to leave them alone.

Maybe . . . there are moments in life
when you miss someone -- a parent, a
spouse, a friend, a child -- so much
that you just want to pick them from
your dreams and hug them for real, so
that once they are around you
appreciate them more.



Maybe … giving someone all your love
is never an assurance that they will
love you back. Don't expect love in
return; just wait for it to grow in
their heart; but, if it doesn't, be
content that it grew in yours.

Maybe .. . . you should dream what you
want to dream; go where you want to
go, be what you want to be, because
you have only one life and one chance
to do all the things you dream of, and
want to do.


"Life is only travelled ONCE; Today’s MOMENT becomes Tomorrow’s MEMORY.
Enjoy every moment, good or bad, because the GIFT of LIFE is LIFE itself…."

Heard that Hogenakkal Falls is very Beautiful

A very nice one….

A very nice one….
Thought I share it with you….


Something to think about...





There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren Buffet, the second richest man who has donated $31 billion to charity Here are some very interesting aspects of his life:

1. He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!
2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.
3. He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in mid-town Omaha, that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.
4. He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.
5. He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company.
6. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year.

He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis. He has given his CEO's only two rules.
Rule number 1: do not lose any of your share holder's money.
Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.

7. He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch Television.

8. Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.

9. Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.


His advice to young people: "Stay away from credit cards and invest in yourself and Remember:

A. Money doesn't create man but it is the man who created money.

B. Live your life as simple as you are.

C. Don't do what others say, just listen them, but do what you feel good.

D. Don't go on brand name; just wear those things in which u feel comfortable.

E. Don't waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on them who really in need rather.
F. After all it's your life then why gives chance to others to rule our life."

Hmmmm Nice one

Bannerghatta National Park






































We visited Bannerghatta National park only for our kid of 13 months old who is very excited about the Elephant. We have a toy Elephant at home she like it the most. I felt if I take her in front of real Elephant. Finally one Sunday we visited. I remember we visiting Bannerghatta when my sit er-in-law came from US for the kids.

As usual traffic and reached there by 2pm. They are improving it but still they need to look into cleanliness. After getting the tickets we entered the Zoo and thought after this we will go to Safari.

We entered thinking that we will finish seeing other animals and then we will spend more time near the Elephants, sudden weather change and there started rain. I was little upset as we managed to continued when it reduced with an umbrella.

We reached near Elephant. The way I expected our daughter was too exited and was there speaking to Elephants for 20 minutes. As time was running we had to got o the safari for us. Ours was the last trip and we met few of our friends and went with them. we really had a good view of Tigers, Lions, and Leopards.
White tigers were beautiful. Only thing was they were not looking so healthy the way we see in National Geographic and other channels, may be because they are preserved and not in the forests.
