OH! MY LORD!
(My letter to God)

Hello,
Everything is not fine here in India and I know that some thing is wrong at your end too.
What happened to you?? Why you suddenly started drinking milk, appeared on some wall (in Surat) and made sea water sweet.
What’s the need for you to do all that ? Do you fear about people losing faith in you? I don’t think that this should be the cause of worry for you. Trust me,there are not much Indians who don’t believe in some divine power even if they pretend the other way round. We have enough scriptures and temples to believe that you are there!
These days people are offering ‘mukuts’ worth lakhs of rupees and building temples for you spending crores of rupees even when other people are dying of hunger and not having any homes whatsoever…..
Is that not enough to show faith in you? What more do you want??
I think this is high time for you to show some real magic.
Let me tell you what to do……..
¬ Let us drop a few bucks in the homes of farmers who are suppose to die (comitting suicides) in coming days..
¬ Fill with grains, the empty tins of the poor parents whose kids are supposed to die of hunger…….
¬ What’s the point in appearing on some wall? By doing this you are making a havoc of already miserable lives of people. Let us appear on the wall of parliament, those people there have fear of nothing at all on earth. On seeing you there, perhaps they will do some good!!
¬ And stop drinking milk, which is silly thing to do for a person of your stature!!
I want to tell a few more things but I will let you know after seeing your response to this………
I hope you will do me a favour!
If you don’t want to respond me personally, open a blog and pour your heart out there!!!


Bless me.

LIFE IN PERSPECTIVE……

I came across a beautiful story few days back. I would like to share it with all of you…..
One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from the trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”
“It was great, dad”,
“Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked,
“Oh yeah!” said the son.
“So what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.

The son answered, “I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches our front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants to serve us and they serve others. We buy our food but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us – they have friends to protect them.”
With this the boy’s father was speechless.
Then his son added, “Thanks, dad, for showing me how poor we are.”

Don't be shaken at your roots.

FUNNY WAYS OF HAVING FUN…..

We live in the country where we have many poor little kids working in terrible conditions to share the responsibilities of the family and we have this ‘rich and famous” youth who have yet to grow up……

One fine day three (twenty- something) friends decided to meet our PM while they were passing by from the road near PM’s residence…they wanted to talk about a few things…just for fun..They almost gate crashed for it……
Don’t complain…. They are crazy ‘innocent’ kids…. don’t know the value of time of our PM!!

Few days ago an ‘innocent’ youth decided to have small party with friend with some white powder….another ‘innocent’ youth and his few friends got involved into all this… one fellow died….another came back after almost touching death…..as always the mystery of these kind of ' innocent' acts will never be solved….

An innocent young lady did some ‘innocent’act at her friend’s (male) birthday party…
But she could not tolerate the ‘innocent’ act of her friend in return..so she went to public with all the videos to prove her ‘innocence………’
Some real “nonsense-innocence” is going on in our country..
We may see more and more of all this because today's kids are growing with fantacies of "Harry Potter"..they don't get to read the stories like "Idgah" in which little Hamid buys a "chimta" for her grandma "( so she won't have to burn her fingers any more while making chapaties ) rather than buying toy for himslf.............so they can learn to be sensible in atleast some matters...............
