we have one dog, they [poor] have have four.
we have small pool, they have a long river.
we have lamps, they have moon.
we have small piece of land, they have large fields.
we have servants to serve us, they serve others.
we buy food, they grow theirs.
we have house to protect us, they have friends, affectionate ones.
The boys father was speechless.. then his son said 'thanks for showing how poor we are'.

The new ICICI bank ad
Folks watching the new ICICI bank ad will be wondering as to how user friendly the bank is!!! Well let me tell you a fact! Not too recently I was there seeking to draw and send a Demand draft to Mumbai for Rs.200/- The dude at the counter said that amounts below rs.500/- is not allowed for demand draft. Why should waste an extra rs.300/- for a D.D to Mumbai I ask him. He feigned ignorance and refused to comment nor answer. Imagine the plight of villagers and uneducated people going there. This happened to an educated man like me. That is why I mentioned the new ad being aired recently as to how customer friendly they are??!! A woman with a hyperactive kid fooling around and bank official empathizing with her 'I too have a four year old' or the official helping an old woman, having a nice chat till the closing hours. Mind you these people have little tolerance for elderly persons let alone finding time to chat with them like they show in the ad. The ad is highly misleading, inappropriate and irrelevant.

Friendship..........
A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.
He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.
When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.
When he was close enough, he called out, 'Excuse me, where are we'?
'This is Heaven, sir,' the man answered.
'Wow! Can we have some water please'? the man asked.
'Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up'.
The man gestured, and the gate began to open.
'Can my friend,' gesturing toward his dog, 'come in, too'? the traveler asked.
'I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.'
The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog. After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book....
'Excuse me!' he called to the man. 'Do you have any water?'
'Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in.'
'How about my friend here?' the traveler gestured to the dog.
'There should be a bowl by the pump.'
They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog. When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.
'What do you call this place?' the traveler asked.
'This is Heaven,' he answered.
'Well, that's confusing,' the traveler said. 'The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.'
'Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's hell.'
'Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?'
'No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind..

Sardar jokes.
It's true
We all love Sardar jokes. But do you know that Sikhs are one of the
hardest working prosperous and diversified communities in the world.
My friend told me about the following incident which I wish to share
with you. It has had a deep impact on my thinking.
During last vacation, his few friends came to Delhi. They rented a
taxi for local sight-seeing. The driver was an old Sardar and boys
being boys, these pals began cracking Sardarji jokes, just to tease
the old man.
But to their surprise, the fellow remained unperturbed.
At the end of the sight-seeing, they paid the cab hire-charges. The
Sardar returned the change, but he gave each one of them one rupee
extra and said,
''Son, since morning you have been telling Sardarji jokes. I listened
to them all and let me tell you, some of them were in bad taste.
Still, I don't mind coz I know that you are young blood and are yet to
see the world.. But I have one request. I am giving you one rupee
each. Give it to the first Sardar beggar that you come across in this
or any other city.'
My friend continued,* ' That one rupee coin is still with me. I
couldn't find a single Sardar begging anywhere.'
MORAL OF THE STORY :-
The secret behind their universal success, is their willingness to do
any job with utmost dedication and pride. A Sardar will drive a truck
or set up a roadside garage or a dhaba, put a fruit juice stall, take
up small time carpentry, ... but he will never beg on the streets.
