Appointment Of General after Freedom

How After Freedom Indian Army General was Appointed

Soon after getting freedom from British rule in 1947, the de-facto prime minister of India, Jawahar Lal Nehru called a meeting of army officers to select the first General of the Indian army.

Nehru proposed, "I think we should appoint a British officer as a General of The Indian Army as we don't have enough experience to lead the same."

Having learned under the British, only to serve and rarely to lead, all the civilians and men in uniform present nodded their heads in agreement

However one officer, Nathu Singh Rathore, asked for permission to speak.

Nehru was a bit taken aback by the independent streak of the officer, he asked him to speak freely.

Rathore said ,"You see, sir, we don't have enough experience to lead a nation too, so shouldn't we appoint a British person as the first Prime Minister of India?"

You could hear a pin drop.

After a pregnant pause, Nehru asked Rathore, "Are you ready to be the first General of The Indian Army ?"

Rathore declined the offer saying "Sir, we have a very talented army officer, my senior, Lt. Gen. Cariappa, who is the most deserving among us."

This is how the brilliant Gen. Cariappa became the first General and Rathore the first ever Lt. General of the Indian Army.

My thanks to Lt. Gen (retd) Niranjan Malik (PVSM) for this article.

We all Indians are happy that Nehru did listen to a saner advice and showed his maturity in selection of the Chief of the Army.

Is My Time UP ?




A 54 year old woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital.
While on the operating table she had a near death experience.

Seeing God she asked "Is my time up ?"
God said, "No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live."

Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a face-lift, liposuction, breast implants and a tummy tuck.
She even had someone come in and change her hair color and brighten her teeth!

Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it. After her last operation, she was released from the hospital.

While crossing the street on her way home, she was killed by an ambulance.

Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought yousaid I had another 43 years. Why didn't you pull me fromout of the path of the ambulance ?"

God replied:
"I didn't recognize you ! "


The Moral of the story is..
Remain what you are..... Don't confuse God !

Thoughts

NEVER share your secrets with ANYONE…This can be self-destructive.

NEVER tell your problems to ANYONE…
20% don’t care, and

80% are glad that you have them !!

Life is similar to Boxing game..
Defeat is NOT declared when you fall down;
It is declared when you refuse to ‘Get Up’!

Always WRONG persons teach the RIGHT lessons in Life!

Everything is valuable only at 2 times:
1. Before getting it; and
2. After losing it !!


Two things bring happiness & success in life:1. The way you MANAGE when you have nothing, and
2. The way you BEHAVE when you have everything !



Two places are MOST VALUABLE in the world:1. The NICEST place is to be in someone’s Thoughts, and
2. The SAFEST place is to be in someone’s Prayers.


One of the greatest victories you can gain over someone is to beat him at politeness.Faith is taking the 1st step, even when you don’t see the whole staircase.

Keep your face to the Sun,
And you will not see the shadow!

A Deaf child says: “For all of you, I am deaf;
But for me, all of you are dumb…”
Moral: Life differs in each perspective. Live the way you want to.

It is always good to check once in a while,
And make sure that
You haven’t lost the things that money cannot buy..!!

Attitude at its best:
My BACK is not a VOICE MAIL..
Kindly say on my FACE.


Ego is the only requirement to destroy any relationship.Be a bigger person; skip the “E”, and let it “go”..!!


One good thing about Egoists:They don’t talk about other people!

What is SUCCESS?
It is when your photos are uploaded on GOOGLE,
Instead of FACEBOOK..!!



Do you know why God didn’t give us the gift to read others’ minds?So that,
We could have the chance to “TRUST”,
And privilege to be “TRUSTED”!


As long as we don’t forgive people who have hurt us,They occupy a RENT-FREE SPACE IN OUR MIND!


Always keep hoping for good.

Keep a green tree in your heart.
The singing birds will automatically come..!

God always likes to know again and again what you want…
It is not that He forgets your Dreams & Prayers;
But He loves to check your passion towards your desire..!


We have solutions to all the problems,
When they are not ours !!!


I asked God: “If everything is already written in Destiny, then WHY should I pray?”God smiled and said: “I have also written- CONDITIONS APPLY…”!!!


Empty pockets teach millions of things in life…
But full pockets spoil us in million ways !!!
No one in the world is afraid to speak the truth.Everybody is afraid to face the consequences after the truth is told!
Getting angry is punishing yourself for the mistakes of others!


Trust is like a STICKER.Once it is removed, it may stick again,

But NOT as strong as it holds when you first applied it..!
Always take care of relations.


Everything about the future is uncertain,But one thing is sure:
God has already arranged all our tomorrows…


We just have to TRUST HIM TODAY !!NEVER win people with Arguments, rather defeat with your Smile!
Because people who always wish to Argue with you, cannot bear your Silence !!!

The search for happiness is one of the main source of unhappiness.Diplomacy is an art of telling people to go to hell in such a way that
hey tend to ask you for directions..!!


If a drop of water falls on a Lake, its identity is lost;If it falls on Lotus leaf, it shines like a Pearl.
Drop is the same; but the company matters.
Our HOPES should be like Hair & Nails.
No matter how many times they get cut,
But they never stop growing.


“F-E-A-R” has two meanings:1. Forget Everything And Run…
2. Face Everything And Rejoice..!
Choice is ours..!!
If you walk the way guided by humans, you will find hopeless end;
& if you walk the way guided by God, you will find endless hope.


Memories are always special…Sometimes we laugh by remembering the days we cried;
And we cry by remembering the days we laughed…!!!
That’s Life!


Sea is common for all…Some take pearls,
Some take fishes,
Some come out just with just wet legs!
World is common to all; what we get, is whet we try for!

To smile without condition,

To walk without intention,
To give without reason, &
To care without expectation,
Are the beauties of any Relation!

Life is very complicated…When you have standards, people call it ATTITUDE;
When you are simple, people try to CHEAT you; &
When you cheat others, people call you SMART!


All communication problems are becauseWe don’t listen to understand;
We listen to reply…!!!

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect...It means that you have decided to look beyond the imperfections !!!

************************************************************************

Life is very similar to a Boxing Ring..Defeat is not final when you fall down..
It is final when you "REFUSE" to get up.

Two men , one American and an Indian were sitting in a bar drinking shot after shot.

The Indian man said to the American," You know my parents are forcing me to get married to this so called homely girl from a village whom I haven't even met once.

We call this arranged marriage. I don't want to marry a woman whom I don't love...I told them that openly and now have a hell lot of family problems."

The American said, " Talking about love marriages?... I'll tell you my story.
I married a widow whom I deeply loved and dated for 3 years.

"After a couple of years, my father fell in love with my step-daughter and so my father became my son-in-law and I became my father's father-in-law.

My daughter is my mother and my wife my grandmother. More problems occurred when I had a son. My son is my father's brother and so he is my uncle. Situations turned worse when my father had a son. Now my father's son I.e. My brother is my grandson.

Ultimately, I have become my own grand father and I am my own grandson.

And you say you have family problems...? 

Mother

Some Best Lines about MOTHER 
ABBREVIATION OF MOTHER:

M:MOST
O:ORIGNAL
T:TOPCLASS
H:HONOURABLE
E:EXCELLENT
R:RESPECTABLE

Who ran to help me when I fell,
And would some pretty story tell,
Or kiss the place to make it well?
My Mother.

Smiles of happy sunshine,
Arms of everlasting love,
Touch of sweet roses,
There is magic in the air
Whenever You are there,
Mother, everything to U I owe,
May all pleasures of life come your way.

When u feel u r alone in a crowd,
when u think no one can understand u,
when u think your love is rejected by others,
and when u hate your life just close your eyes and think about her who loves u truly,
cares for u in your loneliness, dies when u cry,
she is no one else but  MOM

The love she has deep in her heart,
Always gives me a good jump start,
She is the one who's love is true,
Thank u Mom for being u.

The Miracle of Life
Nurtured by a woman
Who gave us
Love and sacrifice
is MOTHER

When you feel you are alone in the Crowd,
When you Think No one can Understand you,
When your love is rejected by others,
& when your hate your Life,
Just Close your eyes,
& see,
Her face who Loves you,
More than any one else,
Who Care for you in loneliness,
& dies when you cry.
She is no One,
But your Sweet Loving Mother.
Love your mom first.

There is no velvet so soft as a mother's lap,
no rose as lovely as her smile,
no path so flowery as that imprinted with her footsteps.

Mother love is the fuel that
enables a normal human being
to do the impossible.

A mother serves her sugar with
A bit of peppermint
To clarify the passages
That carry what she meant
When she first set to bear a soul
Quite separate from her own,
Whom she would cherish, yet must teach
To live and die alone.

M For the MILLION things she gave me,
O For she's growing OLD,
T For the TEARS she shed to save me,
H For her HEART of purest gold,
E For her EYES, with love-light shining,
R For she is always RIGHT and always be.

Being a full-time mother is
one of the highest salaried jobs
since the payment is pure love.

Once upon a memory
Someone wiped away a tear
Held me close and loved me,
Thank you, dear Mother .

If I have never said thank you for bringing me into the world I'd like to do that now.

The sweetest sounds to mortals given are heard in Mother, Home, and Heaven.

Never marry a man who hates his mother, because he'll end up hating you.

A mother is not a person to lean on, but a person to make leaning unnecessary.

The Best, Which Touched:

When I came home in the rain,
My Brother Asked: Why U Didn't take an Umbrella.
Sister:(Advised) why didn't U wait till rain stopped.
Father(Angrily) : Warned! only after getting cold, U will realize.
.

Mother: while drying my Hair, said,
STUPID RAIN! couldn't it wait, till my child came home.
That's MAA (Mother)

OTHER USES OF A TOOTHPASTE

Subject: 26 OTHER USES OF A TOOTHPASTE

26 Other Uses Of A Toothpaste Although the primary use of toothpaste is to clean and improve the aesthetic appearance and health of teeth, there are also 26 other things that you can use it for. Every household has one and every household uses it at least twice a day. And because of the common availability of toothpaste, you can try everything below. Remember, use only white toothpaste.  1.Removes stain from cloth To take out all kinds of stain like ink or lipstick. Squeeze some on the spot, scrub and rinse. 2.Even out scratches on CD / DVD If the screen freezes, take out the disc, put some toothpaste on it, scrub and clean it off. 3.Cleans diamond ring Just squeeze a little on a used toothbrush, wet the ring, scrub gently, rinse and your diamond ring should be look sparkling new. 4.Cleans silver Toothpaste can be used to polish any kind of silver. It really does bring out the shine in silverwares. 5.Placate burns Right after you get burnt, put it on. It helps to relieve the sting. 6.Removes crayon from painted walls Rub the marks with the toothpaste and a damp rag. Wipe with water to get rid of residue. 7.Remove carpet stains Squeeze some onto the carpet, scrub, rinse and let it dry. 8.Relieves insect bites Spread a little over either of these and you�ll feel soothed and no itches. Mosquito, flea and ant bites work especially well. 9.Keep girl babies� bows in their hair If they don�t have much hair this is particularly useful. It doesn�t pull it out, it just washes out. 10.Clean your nails Teeth and nails are made of the same material. To clean your nails, squeeze some on top of a toothbrush, wet your nails and brush them thoroughly. Be amazed by the sparkle. 11.Clean shoes Scrubbing toothpaste with a wet toothbrush over the boots, working shoes and rubber part of sneakers will work. It can also be used to remove scuffs. 12.Put up posters You can use toothpaste to put up posters without damaging the wall. However, avoid using it for collector posters. It can damage the ink over time. 13.Use it to temporarily seal holes Can be used as a spackle to fill nail holes. This sounds evil, but you can use it right before you move out of your rented apartment. 14.Clean around the bathroom Use it to clean shower doors and rings around the bath tub. It has an abrasive so that is why it works good. 15.Clean your vehicle�s headlight lenses Put some toothpaste in a bowl with some water. Use a buffer pad and clean off fog caused by dirt and bugs hitting them. 16.Clean model cars Hobbyists who collect and build model cars, robots and action figures can certainly use toothpaste to make them nice and shiny. 17.Remove scratches on your watch crystal Dab some on the watch and scrub it with tissue. 18.Treat acne Be very careful when using this. Use it at most once a week. Just dab a small amount on a pimple before bed, wake up and it will dry up. 19.Prevent fog in your swimming goggles Just wipe it on, clean it off. Works well for me. 20. Removes stain from the key tops.  A dab of toothpaste, a soft cloth and some rubbing will usually clean piano key tops and turn them white again. 21.Deodorize smelly hands Wash your hands with a dab of toothpaste and it will remove smells like onions and other unpleasant odors. 22.Remove scratches on glassware Polish with a squeeze of toothpaste. Your glassware should be shining in no time. 23.Remove beach tar Getting that black beach tar on your feet can put a small crimp in your vacation, but it is easy enough to remove. Just rub it with some non-gel toothpaste and rinse. 24.Deodorize baby bottles Works for sour smelling baby bottles. Scrub with toothpaste and a bottle brush and the bottles should end up smelling clean and fresh. 25.Cleans clothes iron The mild abrasive in non-gel toothpaste is just the ticket for scrubbing the gunk off the bottom plate of your clothes iron. Apply the toothpaste to the cool iron, scrub with a cloth, then rinse clean.  26.Remove water marks from furniture To get rid of those telltale watermark rings left by sweating beverages, gently rub some non-gel toothpaste on the wood with a soft cloth

Breathing Therapy

Breathing Therapy

The nose has a left and a right side; we use both to inhale and exhale.Actually they are different; you would be able to feel the difference. The right side represents the sun, left side represents the moon.
During a headache, try to close your right nose and use your left nose to breathe. In about 5 mins, your headache will be gone?  During a headache, try to close your right nose and use your left nose to breathe. In about 5 mins, your headache will be gone?  If you feel tired, just reverse, close your left nose and breathe through your right nose.After a while, you will feel your mind is refreshed. Right side belongs to 'hot', so it gets heated up easily, left side belongs to 'cold'.

Most females breathe with their left noses, so they get "cooled off" faster.

Most of the guys breathe with their right noses, they get worked up. Do you notice the moment we wake up, which side breathes faster? Left or right? ? If left is faster, you will feel tired. So, close your left nose and use your right nose for breathing, you will get refreshed quickly.

This can be taught to kids but it is more effective when practiced by adults.
