Little Boys Prayer ..Government taxes

A little boy wanted Rs.50 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened.




Finally he decided to write God a letter requesting the Rs.50.



When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God , INDIA , they decided to forward

it to the President of the India as a joke.



The President was so amused, that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy Rs.20.



The President thought this would appear to be a lot of money (Rs.50) to a little boy,

and he did not want to spoil the kid.



The little boy was delighted with Rs...20, and decided to write a thank you note to God,

which read:



"Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money.

However, I noticed that you sent it through the Rashtrapati Bhavan(President House) in New Delhi, and those donkeys deducted Rs.30 as tax ....... "

Thought to Ponder About - Why is No one Happy?


Yesterday, I was driving, and the FM radio went off for few seconds. I thought, I should have an iPod. Then suddenly I realized that I have not used my iPod in last 6 months. And then, more things, Handy cam in last 2 years, Digital Camera in last 2 months, DVD player in last 1 month and many more. Now I can say that I bought that Handy cam just out of impulse, I have used it twice only in last 4 years.




So, what's wrong and where? When I look at myself or my friends I can see it everywhere. We are not happy with what we have but all are stressed and not happy for the things we don't have. You have a Santro, but you want City; You have a City, but you want Skoda. Just after buying a new phone, we need another one. Better laptop, bigger TV, faster car, bigger house, more money, .I mean, these examples are endless. The point is, does it actually worth? Do we ever think if we actually need those things before we want them?



After this, I was forced to think what I need and what I don't. May be I didn't need this Handy cam or the iPod or that DVD player. When I see my father back at home. He has a simple BPL colour TV, he doesn't need 32" Sony LCD wall mount. He has a cell phone worth Rs 2,500. Whenever I ask him to change the phone, he always says, "Its a phone, I need this just for calls."



And believe me; he is much happier in life than me with those limited resources and simple gadgets. The very basic reason why he is happy with so little is that he doesn't want things in life to make it luxurious, but he wants only those things which are making his life easier. It's a very fine line between these two, but after looking my father's life style closely, I got the point. He needs a cell phone but not the iPhone. He needs a TV but not the 32" plasma. He needs a car but not an expensive one.



Initially I had lot of questions.



I am earning good, still I am not happy,...why ?



I have all luxuries, still I am stressed.... ....... why ?



I had a great weekend, still I am feeling tired...... why?



I met lot of people, I thought over it again and again, I still don't know if I got the answers, but certainly figured out few things. I realize that one thing which is keeping me stressed is the "stay connected" syndrome. I realized that, at home also I am logged in on messengers, checking mails, using social networks, and on the top of that, the windows mobile is not letting me disconnected. On the weekend itself, trying to avoid unwanted calls, and that is keeping my mind always full of stress. I realized that I am spending far lesser money than what I earn, even then I am always worried about money and more money. I realized that I am saving enough money I would ever need, whenever needed. Still I am stressed about job and salary and spends.



May be, many people will call this approach "not progressive attitude", but I want my life back. Ultimately it's a single life, a day gone is a day gone. I believe if I am not happy tonight, I'll never be happy tomorrow morning. I finally realized that meeting friends, spending quality time with your loved one's; spending time with yourself is the most important thing.



If on Sunday you are alone and you don't have anybody to talk with, then all that luxuries life, all that money is wasted. May be cutting down your requirements, re-calculating your future goal in the light of today's happiness is a worthwhile thing to do. May be selling off your Santro and buying Honda City on EMIs is not a good idea. I believe putting your happiness ahead of money is the choice we need to make.



I think, a lot can be said and done but what we need the most is re-evaluation of the value of happiness and time we are giving to our life and people associated with it.



Think about it.

Santa to Satisfy Female Gorilla

The Zoo acquired a female of a very rare species of gorilla. Within a few weeks, the gorilla became very cantankerous and difficult to handle.



Upon examination, the Zoo vet found the problem. The female Gorilla was on heat and there were no male gorillas of the species available. It came to the Zoo management's attention that one of their employees, Santa Singh, possessed ample ability to satisfy a female of any species.



So the Zoo administrators approached Santa with a proposition.

Would he be willing to have Sex with the gorilla for Rs. 50000?



Santa showed some interest but said he would have to think the matter over carefully.



The next day Santa announced that he would accept their offer, but only under three conditions:

First, "I don't have to kiss her."

Second, "You must never tell anyone about this"

&

Third, "I WILL NEED AT LEAST ONE WEEK TO ARRANGE THE Rs. 50000!"

Applying Passport for your baby in Hyderabad - my experience

The best way to apply passport for your babies less than 5 years is to apply through eseva centre or main post offices in hyderabad.

 This is my experince.

I applied passport for my son who's age is 1 year through the eseva center in kukatpally on 04/10/2010 by paying around rs 600 DD from state bank of India.The eseva charges around Rs 100 extra for providing this facility.I produced his birth certificate, parents address proof etc.They will give a receipt with file number which we can track from www.ap.nic.in/passport

After 1 month the police verification started,local police from special division visited my house and verified the details.By the way he was asking questions i expected he was asking for bribe.But i didnt pay it as i had all the documents perfectly.

Then i got a letter(post card) from passport office enquiry report has reached the main passport office.Letter was dated on 10/11/2010.

After 1 month i finally got my son's passport.

All the best for your babies passport.
