How a small coffee shop changed to cafe coffee day but then why its feels like shop is far away…..
How a limited prepaid card changed to postpaid package but then why there are less calls & more messages……

Kashmir – Whom does it belong to

Speech of DG Kashmir at UN                                               
                                                                        
An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently in the     
United Nations Assembly that made the world community smile.             
                                                                        
A representative from India began: 'Before beginning my talk I want to   
tell you something about a rishi named Kashyapa of Kashmir (Kashyapa,     
son of Marichi, son of Brahma), after whom Kashmir is named.             
                                                                        
When he struck a rock and it brought forth water, he thought, 'What a     
good opportunity to have a bath.'  He removed his clothes, put them       
aside on the rock and entered the water.  When he got out and wanted     
to dress, his clothes had vanished.  A Pakistani had stolen them.'       
                                                                        
The Pakistani representative jumped up furiously and shouted, 'What       
are you talking about? The Pakistanis weren't there at that time.'       
                                                                        
The Indian representative smiled and said, 'And now that we have made     
that clear, I will begin my speech.'                                     
                                                                        
                                                                        
"...............And they say Kashmir belongs to them..................  

morning...

         One day a fisherman got up very early in the morning.
 
          There was not enough sunlight to get into the sea.
        
          He saw a pack of stones to pass time.

          He started throwing the stone into the sea.
 
          While having the last stone in the hand,
          the sun came up then he saw that the stone was a diamond.

          He felt for his misfortune of throwing all of them into the sea...



Moral of the story:
*********************

Do not get up early in the morning...

peacefully life

A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed.

The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised.

That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn't sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble.

Moral of the story: If you don't give your hundred percent in a relationship, you'll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent.. This is applicable for any relationship like love, friendship, employer-employee relationship etc., Give your hundred percent to everything you do then live life peacefully
