Believers Or Non-Believers?? U deciDe!!

In a small town, a person decided to open up his Bar business, whichwas right opposite to the Temple. The Temple & its congregationstarted a campaign to block the Bar from opening with petitions andprayed daily against his business.
Work progressed. However, when it was almost complete and was about to open a few days later, a strong lightning struck the Bar and itwas burnt to the ground.
The temple folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, tillthe Bar owner sued the Temple authorities on the grounds that the Temple through its congregation & prayers was ultimately responsiblefor the demise of his bar shop, either through direct or indirectactions or means.
In its reply to the court, the temple vehemently denied allresponsibility or any connection that their prayers were reasons to the bar shop's demise. As the case made its way into court, the judge looked over the paperwork at the hearing and commented:

"I don't know how I'm going to decide this case, but it appears fromthe paperwork, we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer and we have an entire temple and its devotees that doesn't!!".........
So true!! dis one's especially for that class of people who go to any notorious extent in the name of dharma, a common sight around us nowadaz, from Kashmir to US!! the excerpt above sounds funny but doesnt it also stops us for a while to think where are we actually heading to in the name of old and outdated traditions (especially the ones that leave no stone unturned to brutalize the identity of the females) and dharma?? Cant we just help ourselves grow in a much more cleaner and fresh environment, that gives us clean air for our body, soul and mind, so that tomorrow we have sumthing worthwhile left to give to our next generation?? Quite a thought isnt it???

"Why Women Are Strong But Cry Easy!"

One day, a young boy asked his Mom. "Why are you crying?"
"Because I'm a woman" she told him. "I don't understand," he said.
His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will, but that's okay."
Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does Mom seem to cry for no reason?" "All women cry for no reason" was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry. Finally, he put in a call to God. When God got back to him, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?" God answered, "When I made woman, I decided she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet her arms gentle nough to give comfort.
I gave her the inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times will come, even from her own children.
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going and take care of her family and friends, even when everyone else gives up, through sickness and fatigue, without complaining.
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her badly. She has the very special power to make a child's boo-boo feel better and to quell a teenager's anxieties and fears.
I gave her strength to care for her husband, despite faults, and I fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.
For all of this hard work, I also gave her a tear to shed. It is hers to use whenever needed and is her only weakness." "When you see her cry, tell her how much you love her and all she does for everyone. And even though she may still cry, you will have made her heart feel good." "She is special!"
"Roz Kii Taraah Aaj Bhii Taare

Subha Kii Gard MeiN Naa Kho JaayeiN
Aa ! Tere Gham MeiN Jaagtii AankheiN
Kam Se Kam Aik Raat So JaayeiN."
