As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate



4 Worms In Church"Four worms and a lesson to be learned!! A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon. Four worms were placed into four separate jars. The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.

The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.

The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.

The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.

At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:

The first worm in alcohol .. . . . . . Dead . The second worm in cigarette smoke . . . Dead . Third worm in chocolate syrup . . . . Dead. Fourth worm in good clean soil . . .. Alive …


So the Minister asked the congregation,

"What did you learn from this demonstration?"
Maxine was sitting in the back quickly raised her hand and said . . . "As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!"That pretty much ended the service.

WE NEVER KNEW THIS ABOUT JAPAN


WE NEVER KNEW THIS ABOUT JAPAN
 
They are indeed a very evolved race.

Have you ever read in the newspaper that a political leader or a prime minister from an Islamic nation has visited Japan?

Have you ever come across news that the King of Iran or a Saudi Arabia's prince has visited Japan?

Japan, a Country keeping Islam at bay.

Japan has put strict restrictions on Islam and ALL Muslims. 

 The reasons are: 

1. Japan is the only nation that does not give citizenship to Muslims.

2. In Japan permanent residency is not given to Muslims.

3. There is a strong ban on the propagation of Islam in Japan .

4.In the University of Japan, Arabic or any Islamic language is not taught.

5. One cannot import ‘Koran’ published in Arabic language. 

6. According to data published by Japanese government, it has given temporary residency to only 2 lakhs Muslims, who need to follow the Japanese Law of the Land. These Muslims should speak Japanese and carry their religious rituals in their homes.

7. Japan is the only country in the world that has a negligible number of embassies of Islamic countries. 
8. Japanese people are not attracted to Islam at all. 

9. Muslims residing in Japan are the employees of foreign companies.

10. Even today visas are not granted to Muslim doctors, engineers or managers sent by foreign companies.

11. In the majority of companies, it is stated in their regulations that no Muslims should apply for a job.

12. The Japanese government is of the opinion that Muslims are fundamentalist and even in the era of globalization, they are not willing to change their Muslim laws.

13. Muslims can not even think about getting a rented house in Japan. 

14 If anyone comes to know that his neighbor is a Muslim, then the whole neighbourhood stays alert. 
15 No one can start an Islamic cell or Arabic ‘Madarsa’ in Japan. 

16. There is no personal (Sharia) law in Japan .

17. If a Japanese woman marries a Muslim then she is considered an outcast forever.

18. According to Mr. Komico Yagi (Head of Department, Tokyo University ) “There is a mind frame in Japan that Islam is a very narrow minded religion and one should stay away from it.”

19. Freelance journalist Mohammed Zuber toured many Islamic countries after 9/11 including Japan. He found that the Japanese were confident that extremists could do no harm in Japan.

Visit Temple Regularly


In simple terms, these temples are located  
strategically at a place where the positive 
energy is abundantly available from the magnetic wave 
distribution of north/ south pole thrusts.          


The Main Idol is placed in the center, 
where high magnetic values are available. 
A copper plate with some Vedic scripts is buried, 
beneath the Main Idol. This place is known as 
"Garbhagriha" or Moolasthan. 

The copper plate absorbs the earths magnetic waves 
and radiates them to the surroundings. 

Thus a person making clockwise pradakshina of 
the Main Idol's placement, automatically receives 
the beamed magnetic waves . 

Regular visits make him absorb more positive energy. 

The Sanctum Sanctorum is completely enclosed on three sides. 
The effect of all energies is very high in here. 

The lamp that is lit radiates the heat and light energy.  




The ringing of the bells and the chanting of prayers 
gives sound energy. 

The fragrance from the flowers, the burning of camphor 
give out chemical energy. 

The effect of all these energies comes out of the idol. 

This is in addition to the north/south pole magnetic energy 
that is absorbed by the copper plate and utensils that are 
kept in the Moolasthan.



The water used for the Pooja is mixed with Cardamom, 
Benzoine, Holy Basil (Tulsi), Clove, etc is the "Theertham". 

This water becomes more energized because it receives 
all these combined energies . 

The water that is sprinkled onto the people passes 
on the energy to all. That is the reason why, men should 
not wear shirts to the temple and ladies should wear more 
ornaments because it is through these jewels (metal) that 
positive energy is absorbed by ladies. 

It is proved that Theertham is a very good blood purifier, 
as it is highly energized.


In addition, temples offer holy water (about three spoons). 
This water is mainly a source of magneto therapy as they place 
the copper water vessel at the Garbhagriha. 

It also contains cardamom, clove, saffron, etc to add taste 
and Tulsi (holy Basil) leaves are put into the water to increase 
its medicinal value! 

The clove essence protects one from tooth decay, 
the saffron & Tulsi leave essence protects one 
from common cold and cough, cardamom and benzoine 
known as Pachha Karpuram,acts as a mouth refreshing agents. 

This way, one's health too is protected, by regularly visiting Temples !

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.
Unquote:
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 because
We 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.

"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.
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)
