school inspection - just for laugh

One inspector went to a school for inspection. He decided to ask few questions to the students of the school to evaluate the quality of education provided by the institution. So he started with a question - "'Hara Dhanus' ko kisne toda tha?" (Who broke the 'Bow of Shiva' in Ramayana). Not a single student had volunteered to answer, so he had to pick up a student. That student got really frightened and answered - "Sir, sachhi bol raha hoon, maine nehi toda" (Sir, I didn't break it, really!). That inspector was irritated with that answer and went to complain to the class teacher. After hearing everything the class teacher said - "Woh bahut shararati bachcha hai, jarur usne hi toda hoga" (That lad is very naughty, definitely he only broke it) The inspector was really incensed hearing the response of the class teacher and went to complain to the 'head of the institution' (Head Master). After hearing all the incidents...

The Four Wives

Once upon a time, there lived a king who had four wives. He adored his fourth queen so much that he always used to gift her with loads of ornaments and other such adornments. She was inseparable from the king and a perpetual accompaniment wherever he went. He also loved his third wife a lot - he guarded her richness and grandeur against the evil eyes of then neighbouring kings and others He loved his second wife so much that he shared all his thoughts specially with her. But unfortunately he never loved his first queen - he ignored her very presence and enjoyed with the other queens. Days passed by and one day it so happened that the king fell terribly sick and the best of the physicians in the kingdom and the world could find a cure. It was certain that he was staring at his end and he was on his final days. He calls his fourth queen over and sadly says "Look, I am on my deathbed and will leave this world anytime now. When I was hale and hearty, I used to take...

letter by our president dr abdul kalam

DEVELOPED INDIA Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. The President of India “I have three visions for India. In 3000 years of our history, people from all over the world have come and invaded us, captured our lands, conquered our minds. From Alexander onwards. The Greeks, the Turks, the Moguls, the Portuguese, the British, the French, the Dutch, all of them came and looted us, took over what was ours. Yet we have not done this to any other nation. We have not conquered anyone. We have not grabbed their land, their culture, their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them. Why? Because we respect the freedom of others. That is why my first vision is that of FREEDOM. I believe that India got its first vision of this in 1857, when we started the war of independence. It is this freedom that we must protect and nurture and build on. If we are not free, no one will respect us. My second vision for India is DEVELOPMENT. For fifty years we have been a developing nation. It i...
Control of Hindu Temples and Temple Funds This deserves a very wide circulation ? A Foreign writer opens our eyes... The Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment Act of 1951 allows State Governments and politicians to take over thousands of Hindu Temples and maintain complete control over them and their properties. It is claimed that they can sell the temple assets and properties and use the money in any way they choose.   A charge has been made not by any Temple authority, but by a foreign writer, Stephen Knapp, in a book (Crimes Against India and the Need to Protect Ancient Vedic Tradition), published in the United States that makes shocking reading.   Hundreds of temples in centuries past have been built in India by devout rulers and the donations given to them by devotees have been used for the benefit of the (other) people. If...
