Secret Donation

Gupt Daan

It is often said, "When the right hand gives, the left hand should also not know." This should be the intention behind donation. People used to take pride in this. You should also take pride in the same thing. At least some time or another, do some service for which you are not expecting any return or recognition. This act brings you so much joy. Once you get the taste of such purely service, you will find it so blissful, so interesting that you will want to go for it again and again. So, every now and then, do some service without wanting any recognition for it.

For the other things that you do, it is quite natural to want recognition. You do some good work in your office and you want recognition, there is nothing wrong in that. When you find real fulfillment in life, you feel so contented, then you don't mind whether someone recognizes you or not. You keep doing what is good for you.

Just 30 Years Ago

*It was just 30 Years Ago*

30 years ago, children were gentle with their parents. Today parents have to be gentle with their children 

30 years ago, everyone wanted to have children. Today many people are afraid of having children.

30 years ago, children respected their parents. Now parents have to respect their children.

30 years ago, marriage was easy but divorce was difficult. Nowadays it is difficult to get married but divorce is so easy.

30 years ago, we got to know all the neighbors. Now we are strangers to our neighbors.

30 years ago, people had to eat a lot because they needed the energy to work hard. Now we are afraid to eat foods for fear of the cholesterol/diseases.

30 years ago, villagers were flocking to the city to find jobs. Now the town people are fleeing from the city stress to villages find peace.

30 years ago, everyone wanted to be fat to look happy ... Nowadays everyone diets to look healthy.

30 years ago, rich people pretended to be simple and humble. Now the poor are pretending to be rich.

30 years ago, only one person worked to support the whole family. Now all have to work to support one child.

30 years ago, people loved to study and read books to impress themselves and others ... now people love to update Facebook and read their whatsapp messages to impress themselves and others.

Democracy and Wet Hair Woman

*औरत के गीले बाल और लोकतंत्र...*

पॉलिटिकल साइंस के सेमिनार में एक विद्यार्थी का बयान था कि मेरा तो यक़ीन लोकतंत्र पर से सन 1996 में ही उठ गया था..

कहने लगा कि ये उन दिनों की बात है जब एक शनिवार को मैं मेरे बाक़ी तीनों बहन भाई, मम्मी पापा के साथ मिलकर रात का खाना खा रहे थे ।

 पापा ने पूछा:- *कल तुम्हारे चाचा के घर चलें या मामा के घर?*

हम सब भाइयों बहनों ने मिलकर बहुत शोर मचा कर चाचा के घर जाने को कहा, सिवाय मम्मी के जिनकी राय थी 

*कि मामा के घर जाया जाए।*

*बात बहुमत की मांग की थी और अधिक मत चाचा के खेमे में पड़े थे ...*

बहुमत की मांग के मुताबिक़ तय हुआ 

*कि चाचा के घर जाना है।*

 मम्मी हार गईं। पापा ने हमारे मत का आदर करते हुए चाचा के घर जाने का फैसला सुना दिया।

 हम सब भाई बहन चाचा के घर जाने की ख़ुशी में जा कर सो गये।

रविवार की सुबह उठे तो मम्मी गीले बालों को तौलिए से झाड़ते हुए बमुश्किल अपनी हंसी दबा रहीं थीं..

*उन्होंने हमसे कहा के सब लोग जल्दी से कपड़े बदल लो हम लोग मामा के घर जा रहें हैं।*

मैंने पापा की तरफ देखा जो ख़ामोशी और तवज्जो से अख़बार पढ़ने की एक्टिंग कर रहे थे.. मैं मुंह ताकता रह गया..

*बस जी!*

*मैंने तो उसी दिन से जान लिया है कि* लोकतंत्र में बहुमत की राय का आदर... और वोट को इज़्ज़त...  सब  ढकोसले है।

*असल फैसला तो बन्द कमरे में उस वक़्त होता है जब ग़रीब जनता सो रही होती है"*

😜😆😆😆😆

इसके बाद उस विद्यार्थी ने पोलिटिकल साइंस छोड़कर इकोनॉमिक्स ले ली।.   😂

Ramayan

रामायण में भोग नहीं त्याग है।

भरत जी तो नंदिग्राम में रहते हैं, शत्रुघ्न जी  उनके आदेश से राज्य संचालन करते हैं

एक एक दिन रात करते करते, भगवान को वनवास हुए तेरह वर्ष बीत गए ।

एक रात की बात हैं,माता कौशिल्या जी को सोते में अपने महल की छत पर किसी के चलने की आहट सुनाई दी । नींद खुल गई । पूछा कौन हैं ?

मालूम पड़ा श्रुतिकीर्ति जी हैं । नीचे बुलाया गया ।

श्रुतिकीर्ति जी, जो सबसे छोटी हैं, आईं, चरणों में प्रणाम कर खड़ी रह गईं ।

माता कौशिल्या जी ने पूछा, श्रुति ! इतनी रात को अकेली छत पर क्या कर रही हो बिटिया ? क्या नींद नहीं आ रही ? शत्रुघ्न कहाँ है ?

श्रुतिकीर्ति की आँखें भर आईं, माँ की छाती से चिपटी, गोद में सिमट गईं, बोलीं, माँ उन्हें तो देखे हुए तेरह वर्ष हो गए ।

उफ ! कौशल्या जी का कलेजा काँप गया ।

तुरंत आवाज लगी, सेवक दौड़े आए । आधी रात ही पालकी तैयार हुई, आज शत्रुघ्न जी की खोज होगी, माँ चली ।

आपको मालूम है शत्रुघ्न जी कहाँ मिले ?

अयोध्या जी के जिस दरवाजे के बाहर भरत जी नंदिग्राम में तपस्वी होकर रहते हैं, उसी दरवाजे के भीतर एक पत्थर की शिला हैं, उसी शिला पर, अपनी बाँह का तकिया बनाकर लेटे मिले।

माँ सिराहने बैठ गईं, बालों में हाथ फिराया तो शत्रुघ्न जी ने आँखें खोलीं, माँ!

उठे, चरणों में गिरे, माँ ! आपने क्यों कष्ट किया ? मुझे बुलवा लिया होता।

माँ ने कहा, शत्रुघ्न ! यहाँ क्यों ?"

शत्रुघ्न जी की रुलाई फूट पड़ी, बोले- माँ ! भैय्या राम जी  पिताजी की आज्ञा से वन चले गए, भैय्या लक्ष्मण जी उनके पीछे चले गए, भैय्या भरत जी भी नंदिग्राम में हैं, क्या ये महल, ये रथ, ये राजसी वस्त्र, विधाता ने मेरे ही लिए बनाए हैं ?

माता कौशल्या जी निरुत्तर रह गईं ।

देखो यह रामकथा हैं...

यह भोग की नहीं त्याग की कथा हैं, यहाँ त्याग की प्रतियोगिता चल रही हैं और सभी प्रथम हैं, कोई पीछे नहीं रहा।

चारो भाइयों का प्रेम और त्याग  एक दूसरे के प्रति अद्भुत-अभिनव और अलौकिक हैं ।

जय सियाराम

Shark Tank

*Interesting read..* 

The Japanese have a great liking for fresh fish. But the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. So, to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever.

The farther the fishermen went, the longer it took to bring back the fish. The longer it took them to bring back the fish, the stale they grew.

The fish were not fresh and the Japanese did not like the taste. To solve this problem, fishing companies installed the freezers on their boats. They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer.

However, the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen fish. And they did not like the taste of frozen fish. The frozen fish brought a lower price. So, fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks, fin to fin. After a little hashing around, fishes stopped moving. They were tired and dull, but alive.

Unfortunately, the Japanese could still taste the difference. Because the fish did not move for days, they lost their fresh-fish taste. The Japanese preferred the lively taste of fresh fish, not sluggish fish. The fishing industry faced an impending crisis! But today, it has got over that crisis and has emerged as one of the most important trades in that country! How did Japanese fishing companies solve this problem? How do they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan ?

To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks. But now they add a small shark to each tank. The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state. The fish are challenged  and hence are constantly on the move. And they survive and arrive in a healthy state! They command a higher price and are most sought-after. The challenge they face keeps them fresh!

Humans are no different. L. Ron Hubbard observed in the early 1950's: "Man thrives, oddly enough, only in the presence of a challenging environment."George Bernard Shaw said: " Satisfaction is death!"

If you are steadily conquering challenges, you are happy. Your challenges keep you energized.They keep you alive!

Secret to Success

I once asked a very successful woman to share her secret with me. 

She smiled and said to me.. 

"I started succeeding when I started leaving small fights for small fighters. 

I stopped fighting those who gossiped about me...

I stopped fighting with my in laws...

I stopped fighting for attention...

I stopped fighting to meet public expectation of me...

I stopped fighting for my rights with stupid people..

I left such fights for those who have nothing else to fight...

And I started fighting for 

my vision, 

my dreams, 

my ideas and 

my destiny. 

The day I gave up on small fights is the day I started becoming successful."

Some fights are not worth your time.

Choose what you fight for wisely.

Recession or Profiteering?

*Recession* ??

Banwarilal was a samosa seller in an Indian town. He used to sell 500 samosas everyday on a cart in his locality. People liked his samosas for last 30 years, because he cared for hygiene in preparation and selling, would use good quality oil and other ingredients, provide free chutneys with samosas. He would throw all unsold samosas to poor people, cow, dogs etc and did not sell unsold stale samosas to people next day.

 

Banwari earned good reputation and enough money from samosa selling and he never faced downfall in his sale in last 30 years. He was able to fund his son's MBA education in a famous private college in Noida out of his earnings. 

 

Recently his son Rohit completed his MBA and came back home as he could not get appropriate placement. Rohit started taking interest in his father's samosa business. He had not been involved in his father's business earlier as he considered that to be an inferior job.

 

During MBA, Rohit read a lot on recession. He read that it is coming up in global economy and how it will affect job prospects, increase unemployment etc. So he thought that he should advise his father of the risks in the business of samosa selling on account of recession. 

 

He told his father that recession may cause fall in sale of samosas, so he should prepare for cost cutting to maintain the profit. 

 

Banwari was glad that his son knows so much about business and taking interest in his business. He agreed to follow advice of his son. 

 

Next day, Rohit suggested using 20% used cooking oil and 80% fresh. People did not notice the change in the  taste and 500 samosas were sold. 

 

Rohit was motivated by the profit made by this savings. Next day he suggested  increased share of used oil to 30% and reduce the quantity of free chutney. 

 

That day, only 400 samosas were sold and 100 samosas were thrown to poor people and dogs. 

Rohit told his father that recession has really set in as predicted by him, so more cost cutting is to be done and they would not throw stale samosas but would fry them again next day and sell them. Quantity of used oil will also be increased to 40% and to make only 400 samosas to avoid wastage. 

Next day 400 samosas were sold but customers were not feeling good old taste. But Rohit told his father about savings because of his smart planning. Father told him that he may be knowing better, being educated.

 

Next day Rohit decided to use 50% used oil, do away with sweet chutney and provided only green chutney, made 400 samosas. That day only 300 samosas could be sold as people started disliking the taste. 

 

Rohit told Banwari "Look , I had predicted great recession is arriving and sales would fall. Now this is happening. We will not throw away these 100 stale samosas but would fry and sell them tomorrow." Father agreed to his MBA son.

 

Next day, 200 fresh samosas were made with 50% used oil, 100 stale fried samosa were offered for sale but only 200 could be sold as people sensed the drastic fall in quality. 

 

Rohit said that recession has really set in and now people have no money left to spend so they should make only 100 samosas and recycle 100 stale samosas and stop giving paper napkins . 

 

After this only 50 samosas could be sold.

Rohit told his father "Now recession has taken people in its grip. People have lost income. So, this business will be in loss and they should stop selling samosas and do something else."

 

Now his father started shouting, "I did not know that they teach cheating in the name of MBA. I lost my money in getting your MBA education. In last 30 years of samosa selling, I never had recession but your greed for profit brought recession in my business and caused closure. Get out of my business and I will get it back to earlier level. If you want, I can hire you for washing dishes as that is the only thing you can do despite being MBA educated."

 

Thereafter , Banwari started following his age old wisdom and fair practices in business. Within a month his sale reached to 600 samosas.

 

*Recession is nothing but convergence of greed of government to extract more taxes, greed of big businesses to be more profitable by reducing quality and using unfair practices and also of careless arrogant employees giving pathetic service as long as profits are coming. Recession is the punishment given to businesses and government by people by restricting their spending.*

Jammu & Kashmir

My colleague from US messaged me today and asked, "What is this article 370 & Kashmir controversy all newspapers are talking about and why is Pakistan so upset? Will this result in war with Pakistan now?"

I told him "Look, 5 years ago, Facebook acquired instagram. Isn't it? Now, if Mark Zuckerberg announces that both instagram & facebook will be streamlined and will have common login accounts, will Google or Microsoft or any other company be offended?"

He said "Of course not!! When the whole world knows that instagram belongs to facebook, then why should anyone bother if they merge both into common account. In fact, it is good for users because they will have a seamless experience."

I said "Exactly!! Same is the case with Kashmir as well. Few decades ago, Kashmir officially acceded to India, which is equivalent to instagram being officially acquired by Facebook. But temporarily, they had to continue using their own Constitution, which is equivalent to instagram using a separate login account. 

And now, what has happened is that Govt of India has streamlined the accession so that Constitution of India applies to Kashmir as well, which is equivalent to streamlining the facebook-instagram login in order to use common account."

He exclaimed "ohh that's all the issue is all about!! Thanks for explaining it using simple analogy. Now I will fully support India because what they are doing is perfect and in the best interest of everyone. Most of my friends in US are actually confused with the news and there are lot of misinformation spread over this by our liberal newspapers. I will use this facebook-instagram analogy to explain them & demistify their confusion."

Harivansh Rai Bachhan's poem on FRIENDSHIP

....मै यादों का

    किस्सा खोलूँ तो,

    कुछ दोस्त बहुत

    याद आते हैं....

...मै गुजरे पल को सोचूँ 

   तो, कुछ दोस्त 

   बहुत याद आते हैं....

 

_...अब जाने कौन सी नगरी में,_

_...आबाद हैं जाकर मुद्दत से....😔_

....मै देर रात तक जागूँ तो ,

    कुछ दोस्त 

    बहुत याद आते हैं....

....कुछ बातें थीं फूलों जैसी,

....कुछ लहजे खुशबू जैसे थे,

....मै शहर-ए-चमन में टहलूँ तो,

....कुछ दोस्त बहुत याद आते हैं.

_...सबकी जिंदगी बदल गयी,_

_...एक नए सिरे में ढल गयी,_😔

_...किसी को नौकरी से फुरसत नही..._

_...किसी को दोस्तों की जरुरत नही...._😔

_...सारे यार गुम हो गये हैं..._

...."तू" से "तुम" और "आप" हो गये है....

....मै गुजरे पल को सोचूँ 

    तो, कुछ दोस्त बहुत याद आते हैं....

_...धीरे धीरे उम्र कट जाती है..._

_...जीवन यादों की पुस्तक बन जाती है,_😔

_...कभी किसी की याद बहुत तड़पाती है..._

  _और कभी यादों के सहारे ज़िन्दगी कट जाती है ..._😔

....किनारो पे सागर के खजाने नहीं आते, 

....फिर जीवन में दोस्त पुराने नहीं आते...

_....जी लो इन पलों को हंस के दोस्त,_😁

    _फिर लौट के दोस्ती के जमाने नहीं आते ...._

HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY

Debt Lesson

Age - ek kavita

शौक़ सारे छिन गये, दीवानगी जाती रही,

आयीं ज़िम्मेदारियाँ तो आशिकी जाती रही।

मांगते थे ये  दुआ हासिल हो हमको दौलतें,

और जब आयी अमीरी, शायरी जाती रही।

मय किताब -ए- पाक़ मेरी और साक़ी है ख़ुदा ,  

बोतलों से भर गया दिल, मयकशी जाती रही।

रौशनी थी जब मुकम्मल, बंद थीं ऑंखें मेरी,

खुल गयी आँखें  मगर फिर रौशनी जाती रही।

इस कदर मुझमे अनासिर आप के होने लगे,

मुझ में जो कुछ भी थी मेरी बानगी, जाती रही।

ये मुनाफ़ा, ये ख़सारा, ये मिला, वो खो गया, 

फेर में निनयानबे के ज़िन्दगी जाती रही।

दस से ले कर पांच तक सिमटी हमारी ज़िन्दगी,

दफ़्तरी आती रही, आवारगी जाती रही।

मुस्कुरा कर वो सितमगर फिर से हमको छल गया,

भर गया हर ज़ख्म, सब नाराज़गी जाती रही। 

'उम्र बढ़ती जा रही है, तुम बड़े होते नहीं,'

ऐसे तानों से हमारी मसख़री जाती रही।

Happiness

Why wait for Happiness!? Just Smile 

*4 Hormones* which determine a *human's happiness.*  Worth reading 

*Dear friends ...*

As I sat in the park *after* my *morning walk,*

My wife came and slumped next to me.

*She had completed* her 30-minute jog. *We chatted* for a while. She said *she is not happy* in life. I looked up at her sheer disbelief since she seemed to have the best of everything in life.

*"Why do you think so?"*

"I don't know. Everyone tells I have everything needed, *but I am not happy.*

"Then I questioned myself, *am I happy?  "No,"* was my inner voice reply.

Now, that was an *eye-opener for me.*

I began my quest to *understand the real cause* of my *unhappiness,*

I couldn't find one.

I dug deeper, *read articles,* spoke to life coaches but nothing made sense. 

*At last my doctor* friend gave me the answer which put all my questions and doubts to rest.

*I implemented* those and will say I am *a lot happier person.*

She said, *there are four hormones* which determine a *human's happiness -*

1. *Endorphins,*

2. *Dopamine,*

3. *Serotonin,*

and 

4. *Oxytocin.*

It is important we *understand these hormones,*

as we *need all four* of them *to stay happy.*

Let's look at the *first hormone* the *Endorphins.*

*When we exercise, the body releases Endorphins.*

This hormone helps the body cope with the pain of exercising. We then *enjoy exercising* because these Endorphins will make us happy.

*Laughter is* another good way of *generating Endorphins.*

We need to spend *30 minutes exercising* every day, read or *watch funny stuff* to get our day's dose of Endorphins.

*The second hormone is Dopamine.*

In our journey of life, we accomplish many *little and big tasks, it releases* various levels of *Dopamine.*

*When we get appreciated for our work at the office or at home,* we feel accomplished and good, that is *because it releases Dopamine.*

This also explains *why* most *housewives* are *unhappy* since they *rarely* get *acknowledged* or appreciated *for their work.* Once, we join work, we *buy* a car, a house, the latest gadgets, a *new house* so forth. In each instance, it *releases Dopamine* and we become happy.

Now, do we realize why we become happy when we shop?

*The third hormone Serotonin* is released when we *act in a way that benefits others.*

When we transcend ourselves and give back to others or *to nature or to the society, it releases Serotonin.* Even, providing useful information on the internet like *writing information* blogs, answering peoples questions on Quora or *Facebook groups will generate Serotonin.*

That is *because* we will use our *precious time to help other* people via our answers or articles.

*The final hormone is Oxytocin,*

is released *when* we become *close to other human* beings. 

When we *hug our friends* or family *Oxytocin is released.*

The *"Jadoo Ki Jhappi"* from Munnabhai *does really work.*

Similarly, when we *shake hands* or put our *arms around* someone's shoulders, various amounts of *Oxytocin is released.*

So, it is simple, we have to *exercise every day* to get *Endorphins,*

we have to *accomplish* little *goals* and get *Dopamine,*

we *need to* be *nice* to others to *get  Serotonin* and 

finally *hug our kids,*

friends, and families to *get Oxytocin* and we will *be happy.* 

*When we are happy, we can deal* with our challenges and *problems better.*

Now, we can understand *why we need to hug a child who has a bad mood.*

So to.

*make your child* more and more *happy* day by day ...

1.*Motivate him to play* on the ground

*-Endorphins*

2. *Appreciate your child* for his small big achievements 

*-Dopamine*

3. *inculcate sharing* habit through you to your child 

*-Serotonin*

4. *Hug* your child

*-Oxytocin*

*Have a Happy Life*.

निदा फ़ाज़ली जी के ये दो शेर याद आ रहे हैं :😣

हर बार ये  इल्ज़ाम रह गया..!

हर काम में कोई  काम रह गया..!!

नमाज़ी उठ उठ कर चले गये मस्ज़िदों से..!

दहशतगरों के हाथ में इस्लाम रह गया..!!

Pulwama

... Once the WTC towers went down there were no blame games between Republicans and democrats... US ensured the whole middle east burns....

Love is...

Somebody who truly loves you
will celebrate parts of you others don't even notice.

Bihari le balaiya!!

LE BALAIYA, ee ka hua? Kahe albalaye huye hain? Etna narbhasane se kuchchho nahin hoga  (Omigosh, what's this? Why are you so flustered? Such nervousness won't help matters.)

The inveterate linguist may scream at such an apparent contamination of Hindi language but the average Bihari simply loves to throw all narrow parameters of grammar to the winds. For them, the funnier they are,the better their adaptability is into their  inimitable lingua franca.  Over the years, Biharis have invented a language,which was an Unmistakable stamp of their own. In recent times, its popularity has travelled far and wide beyond the borders of the State and many   Screen heroes,including Amitabh Bachchan, have mouthed Bihari liches with characteristic elan - a far cry from the days when it was thought to be an infra dig of sorts for anybody other than country    bumpkins and unscrupulous politicians to perpetrate such "verbal atrocities".
 All that, however, is passe now. Bihari Boli is sweeter than honey.
