The Panchayats are officially supposed to be non-partisan and Panchayat elected representatives thereby, do not fit into the bracket of main stream politics.

Who are the real robbers here

 

During a robbery in Guangzhou, China, the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank: "Don't move. The money belongs to the State. Your life belongs to you."

Everyone in the bank laid down quietly. This is called "Mind Changing Concept" Changing the conventional way of thinking.

When a lady lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her: "Please be civilized! This is a robbery and not a rape!"

This is called "Being Professional" Focus only on what you are trained to do!

When the bank robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA-trained) told the older robber (who has only completed Year 6 in primary school): "Big brother, let's count how much we got."

The older robber rebutted and said: "You are very stupid. There is so much money it will take us a long time to count. Tonight, the TV news will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!"

This is called "Experience." Nowadays, experience is more important than paper qualifications!

After the robbers had left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. But the supervisor said to him: "Wait! Let us take out $10 million from the bank for ourselves and add it to the $70 million that we have previously embezzled from the bank".

This is called "Swim with the tide." Converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage!

The supervisor says: "It will be good if there is a robbery every month."

This is called "Killing Boredom." Personal Happiness is more important than your job.

The next day, the TV news reported that $100 million was taken from the bank. The robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count $20 million. The robbers were very angry and complained: "We risked our lives and only took $20 million. The bank manager took $80 million with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated than to be a thief!"

This is called "Knowledge is worth as much as gold!"

The bank manager was smiling and happy because his losses in the share market are now covered by this robbery.

This is called "Seizing the opportunity." Daring to take risks!

So who are the real robbers here?

Rickshaw Puller Who Was Different

In 1987, a 74-year old rickshaw puller by the name of Bai Fangli came back to his hometown planning to retire from his backbreaking job. There, he saw children working in the fields, because they were too poor to afford school fees.

Bai returned to Tianjin and went back to work as a rickshaw puller, taking a modest accommodation next to the railway station. He waited for clients 24 hours a day, ate simple food and wore discarded second-hand clothes he found. He gave all of his hard-earned earnings to support children who could not afford education.

In 2001, he drove his rickshaw to Tianjin YaoHua Middle School, to deliver his last installment of money. Nearly 90 years old, he told the students that he couldn't work any more. All of the students and teachers were moved to tears.

In total, Bai had donated a total of 350,000 yuan to help more than 300 poor students continue with their studies. In 2005, Bai passed away leaving behind an inspiring legacy.

If a rickshaw-puller who wore used clothes and had no education can support 300 children to go to school, imagine what you and I can do with the resources we have to bring about positive change in our world!

Speech by Chetan Bhagat at Symbiosis

"Superb Speech by Chetan Bhagat at Symbiosis.... . 

Don’t just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order. There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions."Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die…One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a prepaid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up? …It's OK, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love, little fights with your spouse. We are people, not programmed devices...” . "Don't be serious, be sincere."

One Hungry Little Mouse

An Excellent true story - (Animals doesn't have sixth sense - Hence it is possible)

One Hungry Little Mouse! 

  

The extraordinary scene was captured by photography student Casey Gutteridge at the Santago Rare Leopard Project in Hertfordshire. The 19-year-old, from Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, who was photographing the leopard for a course project, was astounded By the mouse's Behaviour. 

He said: 'I have no idea where the mouse came from - he just appeared in the enclosure after the keeper had dropped in the meat for the leopard. He didn't take any notice of the leopard, just went straight over to the meat and started feeding himself.' 

'But the leopard was pretty surprised - she bent down and sniffed the mouse and flinched a bit like she was scared. In the meantime the mouse just carried on eating like nothing had happened. 

Even a gentle shove does not deter the little creature from getting his fill. 'It was amazing, even the keeper who had thrown the meat into the enclosure was shocked - he said he'd never seen anything like it before.'

Project owner Jackie James added: 'It was so funny to see - Sheena batted the mouse a couple of times to try to get it away from her food.' But the determined little thing took no notice and just carried on.' 

Sheena was brought in to the Santago Rare Leopard Project from a UK zoo when she was just four months old. She is one of 14 big cats in the private collection started by Jackie 's late husband Peter in 1989. The African Leopard can be found in the continent's forests, grasslands, savannas, and rainforests.

So the mouse continued to eat the leopard's lunch and show the leopard who was the boss. Just proves no one can push you around without your permission. 

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL LESSON IN LIFE AND LONGEVITY. 

Be nice to others because... 

Time WILL make a difference!

Man of Millennium

Practicing what he preaches

"We cannot sustain ourselves, unless we contribute to the society in someway or the other. I strongly feel if even one person does his bit towards social good, there will be some change."

A very special-common man

Mr.Kalayanasundaram worked as a Librarian for 30 years. Every month in his 30 years service, he donated his entire salary to help the needy. He worked as a server in a hotel to meet his needs. He donated even his pension amount of about ten lakh rupees to the needy.

He is the first person in the world to spend the entire earnings for a social cause. In recognition to his service, United Nations Organization adjudged him as one of the Outstanding People of the 20th Century.

An American organization honored him with the ‘Man of the Millennium’ award. He received a sum of Rs 30 cores as part of this award which he distributed entirely for the needy as usual. Moved by his passion to help others,Indian movie Super Star Rajinikanth adopted him as his father.

He still stays as a bachelor and dedicates his entire life for serving the society. You Can read more http://www.hindu.com/lf/2004/08/22/stories/2004082209260200.htm

A will to serve combined with a sense of social justice has been the guiding principle of P. Kalyanasundaram, who has spent over 45 years in social service. A gold medallist in library science, he is also an MA in literature and history. During his 35-year-career as a librarian at the Kumarkurupara Arts College at Srivaikuntam in Tuticorin district, he gave away all his salary for charity and did odd jobs to meet his daily needs. He has also come forward to donate his body and eyes to the Tirunelveli Medical College.

The Union Government has acclaimed him as `The Best Librarian in India'. He has also been chosen as `one of the top ten librarians of the world'. The International Biographical Centre, Cambridge, has honoured him as `one of the noblest of the world', while the United Nations Organisation adjudged him as one of the Outstanding People of the 20th Century'. An American organisation has also selected him as the `Man of the Millennium.'

Mr. Kalyanasundaram, who has founded a social welfare organisation, `Paalam', shares his experiences in a chat with Prathiba Parameswaran.

SIMPLICITY IN life and exemplariness in practice has been the hallmark of Mr. Kalyanasundaram. Born in August 1953 at Melakarivelamkulam in Tirunelveli district, he lost his father at a very young age. It was his mother, who inspired him to serve the poor.

When he was at college, the Indo-China war broke out, and he contributed his gold chain to the then Chief Minister, Kamaraj, for the war fund. At this time around, he went to meet Balasubramanian, Editor, Ananda Vikatan. "He sent me away, saying he would write about me the day I donated something I had earned myself. I did not speak a word to anyone about what I had done. I took it as a challenge," Mr. Kalyanasundaram recalls. Ever since he got a job as a librarian in Tuticorin, he has contributed all his salary, pension benefits and ancestral property to social welfare. It was not until 1990, when he received his pension arrears and contributed it to the Collector's Fund, that the then Tiruneveli Collector felicitated him, despite his protests. The `Paalam' serves as a bridge between donors and beneficiaries: it collects money and materials from those willing to donate and distribute them among the weaker sections. It has also contributed to the cyclone relief funds in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Orissa, and has helped the earthquake victims in Maharashtra and Gujarat. "We cannot sustain ourselves, unless we contribute towards the society in someway or the other. I strongly feel if even one person does his bit towards social good, there will be some change," he asserts.

Mr. Kalyanasundaram feels that one must achieve something in his chosen field. His contribution to library science is immense. A thesis he submitted as part of his post-graduate course to the Madurai Kamaraj University fetched him distinction. He has also hit upon an easy way of tracing and accessing books in libraries.

His ability to strike a rapport even with youngsters is remarkable. He cites the instance when he started wearing khadi. At college, he was required to take classes on Gandhianism. "I had to speak about simplicity and everything Gandhi stood for, but I was clad in expensive clothes. That was when I decided to switch over to khadi," he relates. Since then he had always practised what he stood for, making himself a role model for many youths.

He was popular among college and school students, and many of them have joined his organisation.

He has long-term plans for his organisation. One is the setting up of a nationalised digital library with modern equipment, which could be accessed by people from all walks of life.

He also wants to set up an international children's university in Tamil Nadu, with foreign aid. However, he says, a mission has a meaning only when the right people are involved in it. The Directorate of Public Libraries should recruit people with a library science background to be librarians, he says. "And good librarians should have a broad knowledge of everything."

Success

The bull Who Cried

The Bull Who Cried...

Knowing he was about to be slaughtered, a bull in Hong Kong did what many people fail to realize or are skeptic about when it comes to animals - he showed emotion.

As reported by Weekly World News, a group of workers walked a bull to a packaging factory. They were about to slaughter him to make steaks and beef stews. When they were close to the front door of the slaughter house, the sorrowful bull suddenly stopped going forward and knelt down on his two front legs. The bull... was all in tears.

How did he know he was going to get killed before he entered the slaughter house? He is even smarter than people.

Mr. Shiu, a butcher recalled: "When I saw this kind of so-called "stupid" animal sobbing and with his eyes in fear and sorrow, I started trembling. I called the rest over to see. They were just as surprised. We kept pushing the bull forward, but he just didn't want to move and sat there crying."

Billy Fong, owner of the packaging factory said: "People thought animals didn't cry like human beings. However that bull really sobbed like a baby."
At that time, more than ten strong men witnessed the scene and they were all touched. Those who were responsible for slaughtering even felt more touched and teared as well.

Other workers working at the same slaughter house also came to see the crying bull. It was all packed with people. They were all shock by this scene. Three of them said they would never forget this crying bull when they slaughter other animals.

With both man and animal crying, everyone knew that nobody could kill the bull. The problem was, what should they do with him? In the end, they raised funds to buy this crying bull and sent him to a temple, where the kind monks would take care of him for life.

After the workers had made a decision, a miracle happened. A worker said: "When we promised this bull that we will not kill him, he started moving and followed us."

How did he understand people's words?

Mr. Shiu said: "Believe it or not? This is real although it sounds unbelievable."

No doubt, this bull changed these butchers' lives.

Hopefully this story has in turn changed yours.

Simple story of Coffee..

"We enter a little coffeehouse with a friend of mine and give our order. While we’re approaching our table two people come in and they go to the counter:

‘Five coffees, please. Two of them for us and three suspended’ They pay for their order, take the two and leave.

I ask my friend: “What are those ‘suspended’ coffees?”

My friend: “Wait for it and you will see.”

Some more people enter. Two girls ask for one coffee each, pay and go. The next order was for seven coffees and it was made by three lawyers - three for them and four ‘suspended’. While I still wonder what’s the deal with those ‘suspended’ coffees I enjoy the sunny weather and the beautiful view towards the square in front of the café. Suddenly a man dressed in shabby clothes who looks like a beggar comes in through the door and kindly asks

‘Do you have a suspended coffee ?’

It’s simple - people pay in advance for a coffee meant for someone who can not afford a warm beverage. The tradition with the suspended coffees started in Naples, but it has spread all over the world and in some places you can order not only a suspended coffee, but also a sandwich or a whole meal.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have such cafés or even grocery stores in every town where the less fortunate will find hope and support ? If you own a business why don’t you offer it to your clients… I am sure many of them will like it"

Strange Uncertain Love..

"Love Is Just a word"

Unless....

"Someone comes to You to 

Explain the meaning"

When I got enough Confidence

The Stage was gone...

When I was sure of Losing

I Won...

When I needed people the Most

They Left Me.......

When I learnt to Dry my Tears

I found a Shoulder to Cry on.....

When I mastered the Skill of Hating

Somebody started Loving Me...

" That 's Life...

Very Strange

And Uncertain."

It was never between YOU and Them Anyway....!!

Say I Love You Without Words

In a relationship, displays of affection are a must, and rather than take the conventional path of saying I love you why not try something different? Try these new tricks.....

 

1. Note among Flowers

When it comes to confessing your love, you should leave no stone unturned. For men who feel awkward expressing their emotions verbally, gifting your ladylove a flurry of bouquets will work wonders. You can also give her a rose everyday for an assigned month to keep her guessing about your intentions. At the end of the assigned time, give her an I love you' note instead of the usual flower and watch as she blushes with delight.

 

2. Say it with a Song

If you're a keen musician, professing your feelings during a public performance will be an excellent way. Compose a unique song for her or create a medley of popular love songs and serenade her in public. Belting out your emotions in a public setting will have her swooning with affection.

 

3. Cook for Her

Women are rendered helplessly affectionate for men who, if cannot whip up a decent meal, can at least initiate the gesture. If you're planning to confess your feelings to your sweetheart, put your culinary skills to use. Prepare a romantic candle-lit evening and enjoy gourmet delights in the company of your beloved. Bring out a frosted cake, just in time for dessert with your confession written in icing. Will this surprise not only knock her off her feet, but will be the best memory of her life too.

 

4. Treasure Hunt

A treasure hunt is the simplest yet most creative way of saying I love you, without sounding it out. Leave clues for her around the house, with each clue inexorably pointing towards the other. Let the final clue point to a piece of paper in your pocket. As she reaches for it, let her read your confession on paper. She will be pleasantly surprised and be swooning at your gesture.

 

5.Love Letter

Nothing can match up to the age-old yet simple method of confessing your love. A perfumed love letter transcends all gestures to become the ultimate tool for letting your sweetheart know about your feelings. This is an excellent ruse for people who have a way with words. Write about how she makes you feel and be as honest as you can. Seal the letter with love and mail it to her. The day she receives the letter will undoubtedly be the best day of her life.

 

6. Say it With Jewellery

Nothing says I Love You' better than a piece of customized jewellery. If you are on a low budget and want to make a creative impression, you can handcraft a bracelet for her. Buy an inexpensive love-related trinket and wind it around a wearable piece of string. Pack it appropriately in a ribbon-tied box and let her revel in the emotions of the moment.

 

7. Shoot It

If you are feeling creative, shooting a sequence to show how much you care will work wonders. Double it up as a surprise and show up just when the video ends, in time to see the pleasantly surprised look on your partner's face...

 

8. Where you first met

The place where you first met has a lot of significance for any couple. And saying I love you' couldn't be more heartfelt in any other place.

 

9. Write in the sand

To make your expression of love memorable, why not pay a visit to the seaside for a date? You can write a love message in the sand when your loved one isn't looking and when they turn around they'll be in for a surprise. If it all goes wrong, tell them someone else wrote it and run for the hills. If it goes to plan 'please say it goes to plan' take a photograph of it afterwards so you can frame it and remember the moment for years to come.

 

10. Be tourists in your city

Plan and hit the zoo or an amusement park. You'll have a ball while in the ride or watching the animals, and the best thing is that might also burn more fat walking around, than when you cycle in a gym.
