It happens only in India

Mr.Kalayanasundaram worked as a Librarian for 30 years. Every month in his 30 year experience(service), he donated his entire salary to help the needy. He worked as a server in a hotel to meet his needs. He donated even his pension amount of about TEN(10) Lakh rupees to the needy.
He is the first person in the world to spend the entire earnings for a social cause. In recognition to his service, (UNO)United Nations Organization adjudged him as one of the Outstanding People of the 20th Century.. An American organization honored him with the ‘Man of the Millennium’ award. He received a sum of Rs 30 cores as part of this award which he distributed entirely for the needy as usual.
Moved by his passion to help others, Super Star Rajinikanth adopted him as his father. He still stays as a bachelor and dedicated his entire life for serving the society.
We all Indians should be PROUD. UNO has honored him but we Indians don’t even know that such a personality exist amongst us.
At least have the courtesy to pass this on and on till the whole world comes to know about him and his passion…

Ek aadmi

एक बार एक आदमी समुद्र में नहाते हुए डूबने लगता तो वह भगवान् से प्रार्थना करते हुए कहता है, " हे भगवान्! मैं बच गया तो 100 गरीबों को बिरयानी खिलाऊंगा"।

अभी उसकी बात ख़त्म ही हुई होती है की एक तेज़ लहर उसे किनारे पर फेंक देती है।

जैसे ही वह आदमी किनारे पर पहुंचा, उसने ऊपर देखा और कहा, "कौनसी बिरयानी"?

तभी अचानक एक और लहर आयी और उसे वापस समुद्र में ले गयी।

आदमी: मेरा मतलब था चिकन या मटन।

You Think You've Had a Bad Day





A man was working on his motorcycle on his patio and his wife was in the house in the kitchen. The man was racing the engine on the motorcycle and somehow, the motorcycle slipped into gear. The man, still holding the handlebars, was dragged through a glass patio door and the motorcycle dumped onto the floor inside the house. The wife, hearing the crash, ran into the dining room, and found her husband lying on the floor, cut and bleeding, the motorcycle lying next to him and the patio door shattered. The wife ran to the phone and summoned an ambulance.

Because they lived on a fairly large hill, the wife went down the several flights of long steps to the street to direct the paramedics to her husband. After the ambulance arrived and transported the husband to the hospital, the wife uprighted the motorcycle and pushed it outside.

Seeing that gas had spilled on the floor, the wife obtained some paper towels, blotted up the gasoline, and threw the towels in the toilet.

The husband was treated at the hospital and was released to come home.

After arriving home, he looked at the shattered patio door and the damage done to his motorcycle. He became despondent, went into the bathroom, sat on the toilet and smoked a cigarette. After finishing the cigarette, he flipped it between his legs into the toilet bowl while still seated. The wife, who was in the kitchen, heard a loud explosion and her husband screaming. She ran into the bathroom and found her husband lying on the floor. His trousers had been blown away and he was suffering burns on the buttocks, the back of his legs and his groin.

The wife again ran to the phone and called for an ambulance.

The same ambulance crew was dispatched and his wife met them at the street. The paramedics loaded the husband on the stretcher and began carrying him to the street. While they were going down the stairs to the street accompanied by the wife, one of the paramedics asked the wife how the husband had burned himself. She told them and the paramedics started laughing so hard, one of them tipped the stretcher and dumped the husband out.

He fell down the remaining steps and broke his ankle.

So, is your day as bad as you thought?

Read this slowly, silently and undisturbed



Red roses were her favorites, her name was also Rose. 
And every year her husband sent them, tied with pretty bows. 
The year he died, the roses were delivered to her door. 
The card said, "Be my Valentine”, like all the years before.

Each year he sent her roses, and the note would always say, 
"I love you even more this year, than last year on this day." 
"My love for you will always grow, with every passing year”. 
She knew this was the last time that the roses would appear.

She thought, he ordered roses in advance before this day. 
Her loving husband did not know, that he would pass away. 
He always liked to do things early, way before the time. 
Then, if he got too busy, everything would work out fine.

She trimmed the stems, and placed them in a very special vase. 
Then, sat the vase beside the portrait of his smiling face. 
She would sit for hours, in her husband's favorite chair. 
While staring at his picture, and the roses sitting there.

A year went by, and it was hard to live without her mate. 
With loneliness and solitude, that had become her fate. 
Then, the very hour, as on Valentines before, 
The doorbell rang, and there were roses, sitting by her door
She brought the roses in, and then just looked at them in shock. 
Then, went to get the telephone, to call the florist shop. 
The owner answered, and she asked him, if he would explain, 
Why would someone do this to her, causing her such pain?

"I know your husband passed away, more than a year ago," 
The owner said, "I knew you'd call, and you would want to know." 
"The flowers you received today, were paid for in advance." 
"Your husband always planned ahead, he left nothing to chance."
"There is a standing order, that I have on file down here, 
And he has paid, well in advance, you'll get them every year. 
There also is another thing, that I think you should know, 
He wrote a special little card...he did this years ago."

"Then, should ever, I find out that he's no longer here, 
That's the card...that should be sent, to you the following year." 
She thanked him and hung up the phone, her tears now flowing hard. 
Her fingers shaking, as she slowly reached to get the card.
Inside the card, she saw that he had written her a note. 
Then, as she stared in total silence, this is what he wrote... 
"Hello my love, I know it's been a year since I've been gone, 
I hope it hasn't been too hard for you to overcome."

"I know it must be lonely, and the pain is very real. 
For if it was the other way, I know how I would feel. 
The love we shared made everything so beautiful in life. 
I loved you more than words can say, you were the perfect wife."
"You were my friend and lover, you fulfilled my every need. 
I know it's only been a year, but please try not to grieve. 
I want you to be happy, even when you shed your tears. 
That is why the roses will be sent to you for years."
"When you get these roses, think of all the happiness, 
That we had together, and how both of us were blessed. 
I have always loved you and I know I always will. 
But, my love, you must go on, you have some living still."

"Please...try to find happiness, while living out your days. 
I know it is not easy, but I hope you find some ways. 
The roses will come every year, and they will only stop, 
When your door's not answered, when the florist stops to knock."
"He will come five times that day, in case you have gone out. 
But after his last visit, he will know without a doubt, 
To take the roses to the place, where I've instructed him, 
And place the roses where we are, together once again."
