"An old woman was walking on the beach one day. She saw that during the night, all the starfish had washed ashore. Hundreds of starfish lay glistening, out of reach of the receding waves.

“Then, she noticed two girls on the shoreline. They were gathering up starfish in their hands. Carefully, they threw handful after handful of starfish back into the ocean.

      

      “The old woman looked around and realized that a crowd of people had gathered to watch. No one had said anything to the girls. So finally the old woman asked, "What are you doing?"

“The girls answered, “These starfish will die if we don't get them back into the water."

“All the grownups chuckled. They thought the girls must be stupid or something. After all, everything died. Who cared about a few starfish? What did it matter anyway?

The crowd began to move away. But the old woman stayed, hoping to teach her younger sisters a lesson. She told the girls, "You're wasting your time. There are hundreds of starfish lying around out here. It's not going to make a difference."

  

The girls each picked up a starfish.

They showed the old woman the shiny, prickly side of each fish, with the beautiful colored ridges. They turned the starfish over. You could see movement as the starfish gaped, as if pleading for water.

Then the girls turned and threw the starfish gently back into the ocean. The waves carried the starfish away, floating it back into the deep, green water. The girls turned to the old woman and said -- "See? I just made a difference. I made a difference to that starfish."

        The old woman blushed. She saw that she had been wrong. These girls were wiser than she was. So, she bent down and began to pick up the starfish. She threw them into the sea. They moved slowly in her hands as if trying to thank her. Then the starfish sank below the surface, back to their home in the sea.

Eight hundred twenty-two starfish were saved that day, thanks to two girls who showed an old woman that one big heart has the power to move many, many hands."

“Anything that the human mind can conceive can be produced ultimately,” and Captain Urmila Yadav produced the same when she landed Air India flight from Slichar to Guwahati safely.

God

Have a great day.
Courtesy---A mail from a Guru
Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD good ?

Student : Sure.

Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?

Student : Yes.

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent.)

Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Is satan good ?

Student : No.

Professor: Where does satan come from ?

Student : From … GOD …

Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Professor: So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer.)

Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, who created them ?

(Student had no answer.)

Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Student : No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student : No , sir.

Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Professor: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Professor: Yes.

Student : No, sir. There isn’t.

(The lecture theatre became very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it’s called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.

Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class was in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?

(The class broke out into laughter. )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

P.S.

I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you?

Forward this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.

By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.

Sinecure

Have a great day.

I asked my work be done. The staffer did not understand his work. So I did the work myself. In the next room I heard his adverse remark, and I asked him what he meant. He said nothing.

When I was returning to my room, he stopped me and asked: Where are you going?

I said, I want to go out of here, and it’s the only decision I can take to reach my destination.

So you know your destination? he said, tauntingly.

I said yes, because here there is a place, not for hard workers, for people with sinecure jobs.

Gossip

Have a great day.

Don’t waste time in gossiping, for every 

moment is precious.

Laughter

Have a great day.

Those who can indulge in belly 

laughter are the luckiest while those 

with grim faces are the unfortunate. 

Now choice is yours --- whether to 

laugh all day or wear a grim face.
