True Love

I want to be with you,

But you are millions of miles away.

You dont know how bad i need you with me,

I need you more than the world i see.

How do i stay warm without you holding me tight,

I wish i was in your arms and everything was right.

When i am with you its like no one can get in my way,

Even when we are apart, i think about you all day.

Its hard to go to sleep without you by my side,

My tears are the only thing, from you i need to hide.

Be Happy

 A group of people, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. 
 
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee. 
 
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: 
 
"If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. 
 
Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. 
 
What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other's cups. 
 
Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live. 
 
Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us." 
 
God brews the coffee, not the cups.......... Enjoy your coffee!  
 
"The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything." 
 
 Live simply. Love generously. Never let go of your beloved. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Be Happy with what you have. Leave the rest to God.

Just One Hour

  
   With a timid voice and idolizing eyes, the little boy greeted his father as he returned from work, "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?" 
  Greatly surprised, but giving his boy a glaring look, the father said: "Look, son, not even your mother knows that. Don't bother me now, I'm tired."
 "But Daddy, just tell me please!? How much do you make an hour," the boy insisted.


The father finally giving up replied: " Twenty dollars per hour."
 "Okay, Daddy? Could you loan me ten dollars?" the boy asked. 
  Showing restlessness and positively disturbed, the father yelled: "So that was the reason you asked how much I earn, right?? Go to sleep and don't bother me anymore!"


  It was already dark and the father was thinking on what he had said and was feeling guilty. Maybe he thought, his son wanted to buy something. Finally, trying to ease his mind, the father went to his son's room.


 "Are you asleep son?" asled the father. "No, Daddy. Why?" replied the boy partially asleep. "Here's the money you asked for earlier," the father said.
 "Thanks, Daddy!" rejoiced the son, while putting his hand under his pillow and removing some money. "Now I have enough! Now I have twenty dollars!" the boy said to his father, who was gazing at his son, confused at what his son just said. 
 "Daddy could you spend an hour with me?"

Dont Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will, 

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill. 

When funds are low and the debts are high, 

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh. 

When stress is pressing you down a bit, 

Rest, if you must, but don't you quit. 

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns.

And many a failure turns about,

When he might have won had he stuck it out. 

Don't give up though the pace seems slow,

You may succeed with another blow. 

Success is failure turned inside out,

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt. 

And you never can tell how close you are, 

It may be near when it seems so far.

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit

It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Funny Story

A man worked in a post office. His job was to process all mail that  had illegible addresses. One day a letter came to his desk, addressed in shaky handwriting to God. He thought, "I better open  this one and see what it's all about."

     So he opened it and it read:  "Dear God, I am a 83 year old widow living on a very small  pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had a hundred dollars  in it which was all the money I had until my next pension check."

"Next Sunday is Mother's Day, and I had invited my last two friends  over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food  with." "I have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can  you please help me?" 

     The postal worker was touched, and went around  showing the letter to all the others. Each of them dug into his  wallet and came up with a few dollars. By the time he made the  rounds, he had collected 96 dollars, which they put into an envelope  and sent over to her. 

    The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of  the nice thing they had done.

   Mother's Day came and went, and a few  days later came another letter from the old lady to God. All the  workers gathered around while the letter was opened.
       It read,  "Dear God, How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me?"  "Because of your generosity, I was able to fix a lovely dinner for  my friends. We had a very nice day, and I told my friends of  your wonderful gift. " "By the way, there was 4 dollars missing. It  was no doubt those thieving men at the post office!!!!!!
                              Thank you God.

A Million Dollar Lesson

    A cab driver taught me a million dollar lesson in customer satisfaction and expectation. Motivational speakers charge thousands of dollars to impart his kind of training to corporate executives and staff. It cost me a $12 taxi ride.

   I had flown into Dallas for the sole purpose of calling on a client. Time was of the essence and my plan included a quick turnaround trip from and back to the airport. A spotless cab pulled up.

  

The driver rushed to open the passenger door for me and made sure I was comfortably seated before he closed the door. As he got in the driver's seat, he mentioned that the neatly folded Wall Street Journal next to me for my use. He then showed me several tapes and asked me what type of music I would enjoy.

      I took the opportunity to say, "Obviously you take great pride in your work. You must have a story to tell."

   "You bet," he replied, "I knew I would never be a rocket scientist, but I love driving cars, being of service and feeling like I have done a full day's work and done it well. I evaluate my personal assets and... wham! I became a cab driver.

   "One thing I know for sure, to be good in my business I could simply just meet the expectations of my passengers. But, to be GREAT in my business, I have to EXCEED the customer's expectations"!

A Good Deed

     One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. Being embarrased however, Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water to the lady who opened the door.

She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?"

  She replied."You don't owe me anything. Mother has taught me that a good deed never goes waste. it always comes back to you".

 He said....."Then I thank you from my heart." As the young boy left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also.

Year's later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. He rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.

Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best for his patient since she was suffering from a rare disease. From that day he worked very hard researching, doing different investigations,trying everything he could to save her life.

After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval so that he could write his charges.

  The bill was then sent to the lady. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. She may have to sell her house to pay the bill.She may have to stay on the streets for the rest of her life.

Finally she looked, the bill had an enormous amount written in it and she knew that all was lost. 

 But something caught her attention on the side of the bill.

   It read.....

" Your Bill paid in full with a glass of milk. A good deed never goes waste. it always comes back to you."

(Signed)
Dr. Howard Kelly

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You, God, that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands."

LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE

      There was a man taking a morning walk on the beach. He saw that along with the morning tide came hundreds of starfish and when the tide receded, they were left behind and with the morning sun rays, they would die.

   The tide was fresh and the starfish were alive. The man took a few steps, picked one and threw it into the water. He did that repeatedly. Right behind him there was another person who couldn't understand what this man was doing.
   He caught up with him and asked, "What are you doing? There are hundreds of starfish. How many can you help? What difference does it make?" 

   This man did not reply, took two more steps, picked up another one, threw it into the water, and said, "It makes a difference to this one."

Seasonal Diet

In day-to-day life, fresh and hot food should be consumed. Climatic changes in each season influence man’s physique, mind, intellect and his entire lifestyle. Hence it is beneficial to make changes in our diet according to seasonal changes. In a vast country like india the climate and seasons vary in North india and South india. This difference needs to be kept in mind while observing dietary rules pertaining to the seasons.

Appropriate diet for the spring season : During the spring season we are prone to suffer from respiratory complaints So items which are easy to digest, dry, bitter, astringent and pungent such as green gram, fenugreek, bitter gourd, radish, raw turmeric,  pepper and dried ginger should be consumed. In spring season, it is beneficial to avoid a diet which contains sweet, sour and salty  items or if at all, to consume them in small quantity. During this season, it is very healthy to adhere to the rule of not consuming salt.

Diet fit for summer season : Digestive energy decreases during the summer season. So a diet which is easy to digest, mild, sweet, sour and juicy, and contains items such as milk, butter, ghee, coriander, cumin seed, cardamom is beneficial. Drinking more water is also beneficial

Diet fit for rainy season : There is possibility of increase in respiratory problems during the rainy season. Hence it is beneficial to consume food items such as millet, rice, lady  fingers, lemon, ginger, garlic, turmeric, coconut, sesame oil, milk and milk products.

Diet fit for autumn season : Due to heat during autumn season the bile increases. Hence one should consume sweet, bitter and juicy diet, old grains, green gram, pulse of gram, fenugreek, cucumber, cabbage, spinach and light diet such as vermicelli / apple, banana, jamun etc.

Diet fit for winter season Digestive energy increases during the winter season. So it is beneficial to consume new grains, green gram, sesame, black gram, carrot, custard apple, dry fruits, ghee, all kinds of spices and food which is tasty and oily.

Hair Care in Monsoon

 

Adequate Hair care in rainy seasons

Ø The exposure to the rainwater causes damage not only to the hair but also to the scalp and thus causing damage to the hair root. As the scalp gets damaged it gives rise to a lot of problems.

Ø The consequent warm, humid condition of the atmosphere gives rise to the growth of bacteria and fungi on the scalp. This may cause infection on the scalp, which causes painful pus-filled boils on the scalp and also causes several itchy, flaking patches of fungal infection, and the ultimate result is hair loss in the affected area.

Ø Not only that, the dandruff problems also gets worsened in this season, as the fungal infection flourishes the growth of dandruff problem. And not to mention the itching and irritation are at its height in the monsoons.

Ø First of all to prevent these problems it is very much necessary to have frequent shampooing and keep the hair dry as much possible.

Ø If your hair is exposed to the rain every day, you may even wash your hair every day with a mild shampoo. Keeping the hair clean is far more important. But when you are facing problems with your hair, or you have already got fungal infections then it is recommended to consult a dermatologist immediately for a better suggestion in this respect.

Tips for Hair Care:

1.     It is recommended to avoid brushing or tying up 

       your hair when wet, as the hair tends to break very 

       easily when wet.

2.     Use a dry towel to soak the water from your hair.

3.     Let the hair dry completely and then comb it with a

        wide toothed comb, and avoid brushing it.
