I). Welcome cup of Tea... ( a touching true story...) A group of 15 soldiers led by a Major were on their way to the post in Himalayas where they would be deployed for the next 3 months. The batch who would  be relieved waited anxiously. It was cold winter & intermittent snowfall made the treacherous climb more difficult. If someone could offer a cup of tea. . the Major thought, knowing it was a futile wish.. They continued for an hour before they came across a dilapidated structure, which looked like a tea shop but locked. It was late in the night. "No tea boys, bad luck", said the Major. But he suggested all take some rest there as they have been walking for 3 hours. "Sir, this is a tea shop and we can make tea... We will have to break the lock", suggested one soldier. The officer was in great dilemma to the unethical suggestion but the thought of a steaming cup of tea for the tired solders made him to give the permission. They were in luck, the pla...

आपल्या जन्माच्या आधीपासुन मरे पर्यंत आपलं हृदय सतत कार्यरत असतं. हृदय दररोज़ ७००० लीटर रक्त पंप करते (यापैकी ७०% रक्त मेंदुला लागते आणि बाकी शरीराला ३०% रक्त मिळते) आणि ७०,००० किमी पेक्षाही लांब रक्तवाहीन्यांमधे प्रवाहीत करते. १ टन वजन ४२ फूट ऊंची पर्यंत उचलण्यासाठी जितकी शक्ति आवश्यक असते तितकी शक्ति हृदय त्याच्या कार्यातुन दररोज निर्माण करते. आपण थकल्यावर आराम करतो पण हृदयाने जर ४ - ५ मिनीटं आराम केला तर आपला कायमचा आराम होऊन जाईल. न थकता हृदय कसे काय बरे कार्य करत असेल?   हृदय सतत कार्य करू शकते कारण ते अनुशासनाच्या, DISCIPLINE च्या आधारावर कार्य करते. सामान्य NORMAL परिस्थितीमधे हृदय ०.३ सेकंद आकुंचन CONTRACT होते म्हणजे PUMP करते आणि ०.५ सेकंद प्रसरण पावते किंवा आराम करते RELAX होते. या हिशोबाने ०.३ + ०.५ = ०.८ सेकंदात हृदयाचा एक ठोका BEAT पूर्ण होतो म्हणजे एका मिनीटात ७२ ठोके होतात जे सामान्य NORMAL असतात. आरामाच्या ०.५ सेकंदात अशुध्द रक्त फुफ्फुसात जाऊन १००% शुद्ध होऊन येते.   जर काही कारणाने शरीराला कमी वेळात जास्त रक्तपुरवठ्याची गरज DEMAND असेल तर हृदय जास...

There were days when my home used to be filled with laughter, arguments, fights, jokes and loads of mischief. Books used to be strewn all over the place. Pens and books all over, and clothes messing the rooms, thrown on the beds. I used to shout at them to tidy up their mess. In the morning: One would wake up and say: Maa I can't find a certain book,I can't find my perfume. And the other one will say: Mama where's my homework, I forgot to complete my homework. Everyone used to ask about their lost possessions. And I would say, but take care of your stuff, be responsible, you have to grow up, I won't go with u to ur university ! And today I stand at the doorway of each bedroom. The beds are empty. All the cupboards have only a few pieces of clothes in them. And what remains is the smell of memories that lingers in the air. Each one is special for these memories will fill the empty ache in my heart. All I have now is the memory of their laughter and their m...

How To Live & Die I've often thought about what it is that makes people happy—what one has to do in order to achieve happiness. 1- First and foremost is good health. If you do not enjoy good health, you can never be happy. Any ailment, however trivial, will deduct something from your happiness. 2- Second, a healthy bank balance. It need not run into crores, but it should be enough to provide for comforts, and there should be something to spare for recreation—eating out, going to the movies, travel and holidays in the hills or by the sea. Shortage of money can be demoralising. Living on credit or borrowing is demeaning and lowers one in one's own eyes. 3- Third, your own home. Rented places can never give you the comfort or security of a home that is yours for keeps. If it has garden space, all the better. Plant your own trees and flowers, see them grow and blossom, and cultivate a sense of kinship with them. 4- Fourth, an understanding companion, be it...

"In my next life I want to live my life backwards.... You start out dead and get that out of the way.... Then you wake up in an old people's home feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy... go collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get a gold watch and a party on your first day.... You work for 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement... You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous... then you are ready for high school.... You then go to primary school... you become a kid, you play. You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born.... And then you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day and then Vanish!😊😊😊
