Nice Article about Love

-by Swami Vivekananda

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me.


Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the
palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You
see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love."


This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow
it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to
close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the
first cracks it finds

This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try
to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling
out of your hand, love will retrieve from you .


For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are
people you love, allow them to be free beings.


Give and don't expect.
Advise, but don't order.
Ask, but never demand.


It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly
practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must
sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an
unconditional caring."


Passing thought... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take;
but by the moments that take our breath away.....


Life is beautiful, Live it!!!!

Junior

A woman wanted to reach her husband on his mobile phone but discovered that she was out of credit, She instructed her son to use his own phone to pass across an urgent message to his daddy who was on site.

After junior had called, he got back to mummy to inform her that there was a lady that picked up daddy's phone the three times he tried reaching dad on the mobile.

Women!!


She waited impatiently for her husband to return from work and upon seeing him in the driveway, she rushed out and gave him a tight slap, and she slapped him again, for good measure.

People from the neighborhood rushed around to find out what the cause of the commotion was.

The woman asked junior to tell everybody what the lady said to him when he called.


Junior said

"The subscriber you have dialed is not available at present. Please Try Again Later"...

Marvelous answer

Marvelous answer




A mechanic was removing the cylinder heads from the motor of a car when he spotted the famous heart surgeon in his shop, who was standing off to the side, waiting for the service manager to come to take a look at his car.


The mechanic shouted across the garage,"Hello Doctor!! Please come over here for a minute."


The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic.





The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked argumentatively, "So doctor, look at this. I also open hearts, take valves out, grind 'em, put in new parts, and when I finish this will work as a new one. So how come you get the big money, when you and me is doing basically the same work? "


The doctor leaned over and whispered to the mechanic.....

Sleeping Murder

Agatha Christie - Sleeping Murder
Miss Marple's Last Case Complete and Unabridged
1 A HOUSE
Gwenda Reed stood, shivering a little, on the quayside.
The docks and the custom sheds and all of England that she could see, were gently waving up and down.
And it was in that moment that she made her decision—the decision that was to lead to such very
momentous events.
She wouldn't go by the boat train to London as she had planned.
After all, why should she? No one was waiting for her, nobody expected her. She had only just got off
that heaving creaking boat (it had been an exceptionally rough three days through the Bay and up to
Plymouth) and the last thing she wanted was to get into a heaving swaying train.
She would go to a hotel, a nice firm steady hotel standing on good solid ground. And she would get into
a nice steady bed that didn't creak and roll. And she would go to sleep, and the next morning -- why, of
course -- what a splendid idea! She would hire a car and she would drive slowly and without hurrying
herself all through the South of England looking about for a house -- a nice house -- the house that she
and Giles had planned she should find.
Yes, that was a splendid idea.
In that way she would see something of England -- of the England that Giles had told her about and
which she had never seen, although, like most New Zealanders, she called it Home. At the moment,
England was not looking particularly attractive.
It was a grey day with rain imminent and a sharp irritating wind blowing. Plymouth, Gwenda thought, as
she moved forward obediently in the queue for Passports and Customs, was probably not the best of
England.
On the following morning, however, her feelings were entirely different. The sun was shining. The view
from her window was attractive. And the universe in general was no longer waving and wobbling. It had
steadied down. This was England at last and here she was, Gwenda Reed, young married woman of
twenty-one, on her travels. Giles's return to England was uncertain.
He might follow her in a few weeks. It might be as long as six months.
His suggestion had been that Gwenda should precede him to England and should look about for a
suitable house. They both thought it would be nice to have, somewhere, a permanency. Giles's job would
always entail a certain amount of travelling.
Sometimes Gwenda would come too, sometimes the conditions would not be suitable.
But they both liked the idea of having a home -- some place of their very own.
Giles had inherited some furniture from an aunt recently, so that everything combined to make the idea a
