A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in bed.
She goes downstairs to look for him.
She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front of him.
He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall.
She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.

” What’s the matter, dear?” she whispers as she steps into the room.
“Why are you down here at this time of night?”
The husband looks up from his coffee,
“Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating, and you were only 18?” he asks solemnly.
“Yes I do” she replies.

The husband pauses; the words were not coming easily.
“Do you remember when your father caught us in the garden?”
“Yes! I remember” said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.
The husband continued.
“Do you remember when he showed the shotgun in my face and said,
‘Either you marry my daughter, or I’ll send you to jail for 20 years?”
“I remember that too” she replied softly. He wiped another tear from his cheek and said,

“I would have been released today!”

As an experiment, an engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician are placed in separate rooms and left with a can of food, but no can opener.
A day later, the rooms are opened, one-by-one.
In the first room, the engineer is snoring, with a battered, opened and emptied can. When asked, he explains that when he got hungry, he beat the can to its failure point.
In the second room, the physicist is seen mouthing equations, with a can popped open beside him. When asked, he explains that when he got hungry, he examined the stress points of the can, applied pressure, and “pop!”
In the third room, the mathematician is found sweating, and mumbling to himself, “Assume the can is open, assume the can is open…”

Parents used to give us Rs. 20/- per month,
in that we were not only able to eat stomachs fill, but we were able to save too!!!
Now we earn a sum of 20K, we have no idea where it goes, let alone saving it!!
Which’s better, the former or the latter???

6 subjects per year, 6 different teachers!
One project since we joined and just one manager!!
Which’s better, the former or the latter???

We used to make notes; we used to study for ranks!!
Now we scan thru our mails; we struggle for our ratings!!!
Which’s better, the former or the latter???

We have still not forgotten the people in the next section!!!
Now we don’t even know who sits in the next cubicle!!!
Which’s better, the former or the latter???

After getting back from a tiring play, we used to do our home work!!
Now who knows/cares about home; all we do is just work!!!
Which’s better, the former or the latter???

We knew our history and economics!!
Now let alone reading books, we don’t even catch up with the daily news!!!
Which’s better, the former or the latter???

We had an aim in life; behind our backs we had our teachers!!
Now we have no idea about the future nor do we find any one who would tell us anything!!!

So Which’s better, the former or the latter???

Letter 1

Dear God,
I have been a very good boy this year and I would like a bike for my birthday.
I want a red one.
Your friend,

Bobby

Bobby knew that this wasn’t true. He had not been a very good boy this year,
So he tore up the letter and started over.

Letter 2

Dear God,
This is your friend Bobby. I have been a good boy this year and I would like
A red bike for my birthday. Thank you.
Your friend,

Bobby

Bobby knew that this wasn’t true either. So, he tore up the letter and started again.

Letter 3

Dear God,
I have been an OK boy this year. I still would really like a bike for my birthday.
Bobby
Bobby knew he could not send this letter to God either. So, Bobby wrote a fourth letter.

Letter 4

God,
I know I haven’t been a good boy this year. I am very sorry.
I will be a good boy if you just send me a bike for my birthday.
Please! Thank you,

Bobby

Bobby knew, even if it was true, this letter was not going to get him a bike.
Now, Bobby was very upset. He went downstairs and told his mom that he wanted to go to church.
Bobby’s mother thought her plan had worked, as Bobby looked very sad.
Just be home in time for dinner, Bobby’s mother told him.
Bobby walked down the street to the church on the corner.
Little Bobby went into the church and up to the altar.
He looked around to see if anyone was there.
Bobby bent down and picked up a statue of the Mary.
He slipped the statue under his shirt and ran out of the church, down the street, into the house, and up to his room.
He shut the door to his room and sat down with a piece of paper and a pen.
Bobby began to write his letter to God

Letter 5

God,
I’VE KIDNAPPED YOUR MAMA. IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE BIKE

After 48 years of marriage, an elderly Gujrati man in Bombay calls his son in New York and says, “I hate to ruin your day son, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are getting a divorce; 45 years of misery is enough!”

“Dad, what are you talking about?” the son screams.

“We can’t stand the sight of each other any longer,” the old man says. “We’re sick of each other, and I’m sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Hong Kong and tell her!”

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. “Like heck they’re getting divorced,” she shouts, I’ll take care of this.”

She calls Bombay immediately, and screams at the old man, “You are not getting divorced. Don’t do a single thing until I get there. I’m calling my brother back, and we’ll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don’t do a thing, DO YOU HEAR??” and she hangs up.

The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. “Okay”, he says,”It’s all set. They’re both coming for Diwali and paying their own airfare!!”

હુ અનેકને ચાહી શકું છું
અને એકની સાથે રહી શકું છું
હું એકની સાથ રહું
છતાંય અનેકને ચાહી શકું છું

હું કોઇકને સૂરજની હૂંફ આપી શકું છું
તો કોઇકને ચાંદનીનો ખોબો
હું કોઇકને વસંતની છાંયો આપી શકું છું
તો કોઇકને મસ્તમુલાયમ પવનનો ઝોકો,
હું કોઇકને ઝરણાનો કલરવ આપી શકું છું

તો કોઇકને પથ્થરનું મૌન
એવું નથી કે હું આપું જ છું
કોઇકને હુંફ આપું છું ત્યારે મને
સૂરજ મળતો હોય છે
ચાંદનીનો ખોબો આપું છું ત્યારે
મને ચંદ્ર મળતો હોય છે.

છાંયો આપું છું તો વૃક્ષ.
પણ હા, ક્યારેક એવું બને છે
કે હું સૂરજની હૂંફ આપું
અને કોઇક આખું આકાશ માગી બેસે તો
હું ચૂપ થઇ જાઉં છું
હું કલરવ આપું અને કોઇક ઝરણું માગી બેસે તો
હું થીજી જાઉં છું

હું પથ્થરનું મૌન આપું અને
કોઇક પહાડ માગી બેસે તો
હું મને જ સંભળાય એવી ચીસ પાડું છું
આમ છતાંયે
હું અનેકને ચાહી શકું છું
અને એકની સાથે રહી શકું છું

एक लडके को देखा तो ऐसा लगा..
जैसे भंवरे का रूप, जैसे सर्दीमें धूप
जैसे रेशमी चट्टान, जैसे प्यारकी उडान
जैसे बांहोमें बाग, जैसे पहेलूमें राग
जैसे सहरा में बरखा का मौसम आ गया

एक…

एक लडके को देखा तो ऐसा लगा..
जैसे महेफिलकी जान, जैसे शायरकी शान
जैसे जंगका एलान, जैसे गुंजती अझान
जैसे मीठा झहर, जैसे सुबहकी लहर
जैसे गोरे बदन पे बरसती काली घटा…
दो लफ्झोकी है दिलकी कहानी,
या है मुहोब्बत, या है जवानी !
एक लडके को देखा तो ऐसा लगा..
जैसे प्यारा सा गांव, जैसे झुल्फोंकी छांव
जैसे सपनों का रंग, जैसे वादियोंका संग
जैसे रातमेँ चिराग, जैसे जंगलमें बाग
जैसे धीरे धीरे फैलता हो ख्वाबका धुंवा…
एक लडके को देखा तो ऐसा लगा..
