Someone asked... Why do we have *Brakes* in a car ? Varied answers received, like, "To stop", "To reduce speed", "To avoid collision" etc., But the best answer was, *To enable you to drive faster*.... Give it a thought. It's true but seldom such smart out of box thinking is done, much less appreciated. For a moment assume you have *No brakes* in your car then how fast will you drive your car..? It's because of *brakes* that we can dare to accelerate, dare to go fast and reach destinations we desire At various points in life, we find our *Parents, Teachers, Mentors, Friends and Spouse* etc. questioning our progress, direction or decision. Many a times We consider them as irritants or consider such inquiries as *Brakes* to our ongoing work. But, remember, it's because of such questions (read as periodical brakes) that you have managed to reach where you are today. *Without brakes*, you could have skid, lost direction or gone a stray or even met with an unfortunate accident..!!! Learn to appreciate the *brakes* in our life. Use them wisely... Have a great time. 😊👍 |
| 19 December 1971 0745 hours B-24, Naraina, Delhi Brigadier K L Khetarpal is in his dressing gown, shaving, when the bell rings. Running his razor along his foamy chin, he hears the soft scrape of his wife's slippers against the floor and her footsteps leading to the front door. The latch clicks and the door creaks open. There is hushed conversation. He hears the distinct rustle of paper changing hands. And then a scream and a dull thud. His wife appears to have fallen down. His face still soapy, Brig Khetarpal rushes out of the bathroom. He finds Maheshwari Khetarpal collapsed on the floor and a postman at the door. In her hand there is a telegram. Gentle, soft-spoken Mukesh, the Khetarpals' younger son -- barely twenty and a student of IIT Delhi -- is home too. He also hears the noise and comes out of his room, still in his pyjamas. As Brig. Khetarpal bends down to assist his wife, Mukesh takes the piece of paper from his mother's loosely clasped fingers. Tears spring to his eyes as he reads the telegram and then wordlessly passes it on to his father. 'Deeply regret to inform your son IC 25067 Second Lt Arun Khetarpal reportedly killed in action sixteenth December. Please accept sincere condolences,' it says. May 2020 Khetarpals's bungalow Forest Lane, Ghitorni Delhi Fifty years have passed. Mukesh Khetarpal is now seventy years old, while his elder brother, Arun, who smiles rakishly from a portrait on the wall, dressed in army fatigues, is an eternal twenty-one. Mukesh points that out himself. 'I have aged but Arun never will,' he says, his eyes crinkling up at the corners as he smiles. He says he clearly remembers the cold Delhi winter of 1971 when he was studying in IIT Delhi and Arun's Young Officers course at Ahmednagar had been interrupted by the war. Arun was recalled to his unit like all the other officers, and he had taken a train to Delhi, travelling in the pantry car since he could not get a reservation at such short notice. He had carted along his beloved Java motorcycle, a gift from his dad. Since there were a few hours before he had to catch the Punjab Mail to Jammu, he had unloaded his bike at Delhi and decided to ride it home. 'I was home that day,' remembers Mukesh. 'Arun parked his bike and walked in, looking extremely handsome in his black Armoured Corps dungarees. 'I was so envious, particularly of his uniform. 'He was in the peak of his physical health, just as most young officers are after their intensive physical training, and he knew it. 'He had the lithe body of a panther, a confident prowl, and he was so extremely proud of his uniform, his regiment, his country that it showed.' 'We were so young then. I never once thought that Arun might not come back. For me, he was just going on an adventure.' Arun had packed up his golf clubs and his Blue Patrol uniform, explaining to Mukesh that he planned to play golf in Lahore and that he would need his ceremonial dress to attend the dinner night that would surely be held after the war was won. The Khetarpals had an early dinner, and it was at the dining table that Mrs Khetarpal said to Arun those famous words that would become part of army folklore. Recounting to him how his father and grandfather had both fought in wars, she had said, 'Sher ki tarah ladna, Arun, qayar ki tarah wapis mat aana.' Arun had looked into her eyes and smiled. Later in the evening, Brig. Khetarpal had taken out his grey Standard Herald car and, giving a warm hug to Mukesh and his mother, Arun had got in. Arun, sitting next to his father, had pushed his head out of the car window and saluted his mother as she fought back tears and the car sped out of the driveway. Early December went by in a haze. 'We had an imported Hitachi transistor. We would carry it around and spend all our time listening to Radio Ceylon, which was reporting the war in detail. Sometimes the signal was good and sometimes we could hardly hear anything, but we all sat around with our ears glued to it,' Mukesh remembers. On the evening of 16 December, Radio Ceylon reported that a massive tank battle had happened in Shakargarh. 'We knew Arun's regiment was in that area and our hearts sank. There was a dreadful stillness in the house all evening. In our hearts there was this terrible fear about Arun's wellbeing, but nobody wanted to say it out loud.' The next morning, there came the announcement that Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had declared a ceasefire. The war had finally ended. 'It was such a relief to us,' Mukesh recollects. 'We started smiling and talking once again. 'My mother got Arun's room cleaned up and we started looking forward to the day he would be back home, recounting stories from the battlefield.' And then, on 19 December, the bell rang, and his mother opened the door to the postman. 'That telegram shattered our lives forever,' remembers Mukesh. 'After that, a sadness seeped into our lives. 'My father, who was bursting with pride when Arun graduated from the Indian Military Academy and joined Poona Horse, was never the same again. 'He had so many dreams for Arun. But Arun left us all so suddenly. 'Both my parents never recovered from the loss. My mother immersed herself in household chores. Papa became quiet and withdrawn. He stopped going to the Delhi Gymkhana Club and meeting people, something that he used to love doing earlier. He would spend most of his time locked up in his room,' Mukesh remembers. Thirty years passed as the Khetarpals slowly accepted their loss and came to terms with their grief. Mukesh studied at IIT Delhi, found a job, got married and had a daughter, though he continued to stay with his parents. And then one day, he and Mrs Khetarpal were surprised to see Brig. Khetarpal smiling again. He looked happy. He said he was going to Sargodha, his ancestral place in Pakistan where the family had lived before Partition,' says Mukesh. Both Mukesh and Mrs Khetarpal tried their best to dissuade Brig. Khetarpal, but he would not hear a word from them. "You are eighty-one. Where will you go?" we asked him, but he dismissed all our pleas. "It is decided. I am going," he told us. "Don't argue with me." 'I am staying with another graduate of our college, a Pakistan Army officer who lives in Lahore,' he told her. 'That reassured us a little, and finally, when the day arrived, we drove him to the airport, where he got on to the Air India flight and waved us a happy goodbye. 'He was as excited as a schoolboy,' says Mukesh. Brig. Khetarpal called his family from Lahore. He told them his host was a perfect gentleman who had come to receive him at the airport and was taking very good care of him. Three days later, it was time for Brig. Khetarpal to return, and Mukesh drove to the airport to pick up his father. He found in him none of the excitement with which he had gone. A week later, the Khetarpals were visited by 1971 war veteran Maj Gen Ian Cardozo, who was releasing a book on Param Vir Chakra award winners. Since Arun's story was also in the book, he had come to invite Brig. and Mrs Khetarpal to the book launch at the Ashok hotel. A week later, Mukesh was reading India Today magazine when he came across an article that talked about his father's Pakistan trip and his meeting with the Armoured Corps officer who had been the cause of his son's death. A shocked Mukesh read it and then went looking for his father. 'I confronted him and asked if what I had read was true. 'He said it was. 'When my mother and I asked him why he had not shared this with us, he said what could he have told us. 'It was not a pleasant episode.' And that was when a shocked Mrs Khetarpal and Mukesh heard what had transpired in Lahore when Brig. Khetarpal had been a revered guest at Brig Khwaja Mohammad Naser's house in Lahore. 1 March 2001 Lahore It is day three of Brig Khetarpal's Pakistan visit. He has just returned from Sargodha and is tired, but is also touched by the fact that Brig Naser has gone out of his way to make the trip comfortable for him. Brig Khetarpal is surprised to notice discomfort in the Pakistani officer's eyes. Brig Naser is looking at the grass. He looks up to find Brig Khetarpal's eyes on him. 'Main kuchh qubool karna chahta hun, brigadier sahab,' he says softly. 'Kahiye, beta, main sun raha hun,' Brig. Khetarpal replies, looking affectionately at his host, who is younger than him by around thirty years. 'Sir, I too participated in the 1971 war. 'I was then a young major, squadron commander of the Pakistan Army's 13 Lancers,' he says. Brig Khetarpal is surprised -- 13 Lancers is the same regiment which had exchanged its Sikh squadron with the Muslim squadron of Poona Horse (his son's regiment) during Partition in 1947. On 16 December 1971, in a sense, the Indian and Pakistani soldiers had fought their old regiments. 'We fought Poona Horse in the Battle of Basantar,' says Naser, 'Sir, I am the man who killed your son.' A speechless Brig. Khetarpal listened quietly. 'On the morning of 16 December 1971, I was leading the counter-attack of 13 Lancers against the Indian bridgehead at Basantar,' Brig Naser recounts. 'Your son was on the opposite side, standing there like a rock. 'In the battle, tank casualties were high. 'He destroyed many of our tanks, and finally, it was just the two of us left facing each other with our tanks just 200 m apart.' We both fired simultaneously, and both our tanks were hit. It was, however, destined that I was to live, and Arun was to die,' Naser says. 'Your son was a very brave man, sir. He was singularly responsible for our defeat.' Stunned, Brig. Khetarpal can only ask, 'How did you know it was Arun's tank?' Naser tells him that ceasefire was declared the next morning (17 December), and with that the war ended. When he went to collect the bodies of his dead comrades, his arm in a bandage from the injuries he had suffered in the battle, he also checked on his damaged tank. That was when he saw Indian soldiers trying to extricate the tank he had battled with a day before. Curious about the identity of the brave man who had fought him so fiercely, Naser walked up to the soldiers and inquired who had been commanding the tank. He was told it was 2nd Lt Arun Khetarpal of Poona Horse. 'Bahut bahaduri se lade aapke sahab. Chot toh nahi aayi unhe?' he asked the soldiers. They told him that Arun was martyred on the battlefield. 'Sahab shaheed ho gaye.' A crestfallen Naser returned to his tent. Brig Khetarpal is listening in complete silence. Naser tells him that he realized much later, when Arun got the Param Vir Chakra and became a national hero, how young he was. 'I didn't know he was only twenty-one, sir,' he says. We were both soldiers doing our duty for our nations. I salute your son for what he did. And I salute you too, because I now know where he received his values from.' The two officers sit quietly under the moonlight for some time. Then Brig Khetarpal slowly gets up from his chair. Naser springs to his feet as well. The two stand together in an awkward silence, the moon lighting up Naser's grief-ridden face. Brig Khetarpal looks at his moist eyes and moves forward to gently hug the man who killed his son. |
| _This is an extract from Hillary Clinton's soon to be released autobiography, 'The Truth Will Always Prevail'._ ---------- When we visited India in 1995 we fell in love with the cuisine of that country. One meal in particular was totally awesome and we asked to meet the chef. We were introduced to this unassuming man named Savio Fernandes who came from the tiny coastal state of Goa. He explained how the entire meal from starters to dessert had been prepared in a uniquely Goan style. We were very impressed, and asked the Cabinet Secretary if we could borrow the cook for a few months, and take him to the USA to cook for us and our state guests for a while. They agreed, and after a few weeks Savio joined our kitchen staff at the White House. The Portuguese ambassador was expected for a State Dinner, so we asked Chef Savio Fernandes to cook a twelve course meal for the ambassador and his entourage, and in the process show off his unique Indo-Portuguese cuisine. Savio suggested that the piece-de-resistance would be something called Sorpatel & Sanna. Bill was a bit wary as Savio described it as a very spicy dish, and Bill was having a bit of a stomach upset at the time. But in the end we told Savio to go ahead. The dinner was a great hit, with Savio presenting exotic dishes with names like Xacuti and Caldin and Feijado and Balchao and Vindaloo and Cafreal and Patoleo and Bebinca and what have you. Bill was particularly fascinated by the Sorpatel & Sanna and gorged away, despite the delicate condition of his stomach. Just as we were saying our goodbyes it happened. Bill started getting severe cramps and nausea. He called aside the Chief of Staff and shouted at him, "Get rid of that Goan cook. Right now!" The Chief of Staff explained to Bill that proper protocol had to be followed or it would cause a diplomatic row. Bill shouted at him, "I am the President of the United States of America. If I want a chef sacked I can do it right now, and don't need any of your protocols!" Just then Bill had another attack of cramps, and excused himself from the room and rushed towards the bathroom. By now he was so disoriented that he couldn't remember which door led to the bathroom. Bill was on the verge of passing out from the pain, when he finally found a door that opened. As he unzipped his trousers and ran in, he realized to his horror that he had stumbled into Monica Lewinsky's office with his trousers around his knees. As he was about to pass out, this naive girl bent over him and heard President Clinton whisper in a barely audible voice, _"Sack my cook!"_ *…. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the whole misunderstanding occurred!* |

| Once the famous sufi saint Shamas Tabrezi was traveling with a few of his followers. While they were passing a lake, Tabrezi told one of his disciples, “I am thirsty” Do get me some water from the lake." The disciple walked up to the lake. At that moment, a bullock cart started crossing through the lake. As a result, The water became very muddy and turbid. The disciple thought, "How can I give this muddy water to Tabrezi to drink?" So he came back and told Tabrezi, “The water in there is very muddy”, I don't think it is fit to drink." After about half an hour, again Tabrezi asked the same disciple to go back to the lake. The disciple went back, and found that the water was still muddy. He returned and informed Tabrezi about the same. After sometime, again Tabrezi asked the same disciple to go back. This time, the disciple found the mud had settled down, and the water was clean and clear. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to Tabrezi. Tabrezi looked at the water, and then he looked up at the disciple and said, "See what you did to make the water clean. You let it be, and the mud settled down on its own, and you have clear water." Your mind is like that too ! When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time. It will settle down on its own. You don't have to put in any effort to calm it down. It will happen. It is effortless." Having 'Peace of Mind' is not a strenuous job, it is an effortless process, so keep ur mind cool and have a great life ahead... Never leave your close ones. If you find few faults in them just close your eyes and remember the best time You spent together... Because Affection is More Important than Perfection..! Neither you can hug yourself....nor you can cry on your own shoulder.... Life is all about living for one another, so live with those who love you the most... Relations cannot be understood by the language of money... Bcoz, Some investments never give profit But they make us rich...! |
| (based on the Karma system) Angel Gabriel came to the Lord and said: "I have to talk to you. We have some Indians here in Heaven and they are causing problems. They're swinging on the pearly Gates, my horn is missing, they are wearing Dolce & Gabbana saris instead of their white robes, they are driving Mercedes and BMW’s instead of the chariots, and they're selling off their halos at discounted prices''. They refuse to keep the stairway to Heaven clear or clean, since they keep crouching down midway eating samosas & drinking chai (tea). Some of them are even walking around with just one wing! They do not believe in discipline and push their way through the line.' The Lord said, 'Indians are Indians. Heaven is home to all my children.If you want to know about real problems, give Saitan a call.' Gabriel calls Saitan on the phone… Saitan answers the phone: 'Hello? Damn, hold on a minute.' Saitan returns to the phone, 'OK I'm back. What can I do for you?' Gabriel: 'I just wanted to know what kind of problems you're having down there.' Saitan says: 'Hold on again. I need to check on something. 'After about 2 minutes, Saitan returns to the phone andl says: 'I'm back. Now what was the question?' Gabriel repeats the question: 'What kind of problems are you having down there?' Saitan says: 'Man I don't believe this... Hold on.' This time Saitan was gone at least 5 minutes. He returns and says: "I'm sorry Gabriel, I can't talk right now. These Indians are trying to install air conditioning and are trying to make Hell a comfortable place to live in by putting out the fire, which is there to keep them uncomfortably hot !! And since they are so tech savvy, they were trying to start a telephone & Internet connection between Heaven & Hell, between ME & GOD !! They have started a social network service for the troubled, and believe in Karma, and are good in convincing others. Some were trying to start a chai pakora, chole-batura, dosa & samosa, barfi, chakli and dhokla shop, which I had to stop. They are excellent in corrupting everyone, and my staff is being bribed by them. I am having difficulty in controlling the graft and corruption in Hell. They never complain as this place seems to be better than from where they came. I am having such a hard time controlling and dealing with them. I am therefore requesting, "O GOD, PLEASE send them back to earth as soon as they arrive - for re-birth." So now you know – "*why Indians are the only ones that are re-born*... 😂😉😘😘😘 |
| Very god story of people making others feel good - pass it on- have courage to read it in full.. Really a disturbing one.. In Phoenix , Arizona , a 26-year-old mother stared down at her 6 year old son, who was dying of terminal leukemia. Although her heart was filled with sadness, she also had a strong feeling of determination. Like any parent, she wanted her son to grow up & fulfill all his dreams. Now that was no longer possible.. The leukemia would see to that. But she still wanted her son's dream to come true. She took her son' s hand and asked, "Billy, did you ever think about what you wanted to be once you grew up? Did you ever dream and wish what you would do with your life?" Mommy, "I always wanted to be a fireman when I grew up." Mom smiled back and said, "Let's see if we can make your wish come true." Later that day she went to her local fire Department in Phoenix , Arizona , where she met Fireman Bob, who had a heart as big as Phoenix. She explained her son's final wish and asked if it might be possible to give her 6 year-old son a ride around the block on a fire engine Fireman Bob said, 'Look, we can do better than that. If you'll have your son ready at seven o'clock Wednesday morning, we'll make him an honorary Fireman for the whole day. He can come down to the fire station, eat with us, go out on all the fire calls, the whole nine yards! And if you'll give us his sizes, we'll get a real fire uniform for him, with a real fire hat - not a toy -- one-with the emblem of the Phoenix Fire Department on it, a yellow slicker like we wear and rubber boots.' 'They're all manufactured right here in Phoenix , so we can get them fast.' Three days later Fireman Bob picked up Billy, dressed him in his uniform and escorted him from his hospital bed t o the waiting hook and ladder truck. Billy got to sit on the back of the truck and help steer it back to the fire station. He was in heaven. There were three fire calls in Phoenixthat day and Billy got to go out on all three calls. He rode in the different fire engines, the Paramedic's' van, and even the fire chief's car. He was also videotaped for the local news program. Having his dream come true, with all the love and attention that was lavished upon him, so deeply touched Billy, that he lived three months longer than any doctor thought possible. One night all of his vital signs began to drop dramatically and the head nurse, who believed in the hospice concept - that no one should die alone, began to call the family members to the hospital. Then she remembered the day Billy had spent as a Fireman, so she called the Fire Chief and asked if it would be possible to send a fireman in uniform to the hospital to be with Billy as he made his transition. The chief replied, 'We can do better than that. We'll be there in five minutes.. Will you please do me a favor? When you hear the sirens screaming and see the lights flashing, will you announce over the PA system that there is not a fire?' 'It's the department coming to see one of its finest members one more time. And will you open the window to his room?' About five minutes later a hook and ladder truck arrived at the hospital and extended its ladder up to Billy's third floor open window-------- 16 fire-fighters climbed up the ladder into Billy's room With his mother's permission, they hugged him and held him and told him how much they LOVED him. With His dying breath, Billy looked up at the fire chief and said, 'Chief, am I really a fireman now?' 'Billy, you are, and The Head Chief, Jesus, is holding your hand,' the chief said With those words, Billy smiled and said, 'I know, He's Been holding my hand all day, and The angels have been Singing..' He closed his eyes one last time.. |

| A man married a beautiful girl. He loved her very much. One day she developed a skin disease. Slowly she started to lose her beauty. It so happened that one day her husband left for a tour. While returning he met with an accident and lost his eyesight. However their married life continued as usual. But as days passed she lost her beauty gradually. Blind husband did not know this and there was not any difference in their married life. He continued to love her and she also loved him very much. One day she died. Her death brought him great sorrow. He finished all her last rites and wanted to leave that town. A man from behind called and said, now how will you be able to walk all alone? All these days your wife used to help you. He replied, I am not blind. I was acting, because if she knew l could see her ugliness it would have pained her more than her disease. So I pretended to be blind. She was a very good wife. I only wanted to keep her happy. Moral:- *Some times it is good for us to act blind and ignore one another's short comings, in order to be happy* *No matter how many times the teeth bite the tongue, they still stay together in one mouth. That's the spirit of FORGIVENESS. Even though the eyes don't see each other, they see things together, blink simultaneously and cry together. That's UNITY." May the Lord grant us all the spirit of forgiveness and togetherness*. 1. _''Alone I can 'Say' but together we can 'talk'._ 2. _"Alone I can 'Enjoy' but together we can celebrate_ 3. _'Alone I can 'Smile' but together we can 'Laugh'._ *That's the BEAUTY of Human Relations. We are nothing without each other* STAY CONNECTED *QUOTE OF THE DAY* _The razor blade is sharp but can't cut a tree; the axe is strong but can't cut the hair._ *MORALS*; *Everyone is important according to his/her unique purpose,Never look down on anyone unless you are admiring their shoes*. |
