You Will Know What Is
Better When It Comes To Earning Money...

A
Jobless man applied for the position of 'office boy' at Microsoft.

The HR manager interviewed him then
watched him cleaning the floor as a test.

'You are employed' he said.
Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in,
as well as date when you may start.

The man replied 'But I don't
have a computer, neither an email'.

'I'm sorry', said the
HR manager. If you don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And who
doesn't exist, cannot have the job.'

The man left with no hope at all.
He didn't know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to
the supermarket and buy a 10Kg tomato crate.
He then
sold the tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours,

he succeeded to double his capital.
He repeated the operation three times,
and returned home with $60.

The man realized that he can survive
by this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late. Thus, his
money doubled or tripled everyday.

Shortly, he bought a cart, then a
truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.

5 years
later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US
He started to plan his family's future, and decided
to have a life insurance.

He
called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan.
When the conversation was concluded the broker asked
him his email.
The man replied,'I
don't have an email.'
The broker
answered curiously, 'You don't have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an
empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e mail?!!' The
man thought for a while and replied, 'Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!'

Moral of the
story


Moral 1

Internet is not the solution to your
life.
Moral 2

If you don't have Internet, but work
hard, you can be a millionaire.
Moral 3

If you received this message by
email,
you are closer to being an
office boy/girl, than a millionaire.........

जीवन असंच जगायचं असत...!!!

जीवन असंच जगायचं असतं, रडता रडता हसायचं असतं

गुलाब सांगतो,
येता जाता रडायचं नसतं, काट्यात सुध्दा हसायचं असतं;
रात रानी म्हणते,
अंधाराला घाबरायचं नसतं,काळोखात ही फुलायचं असतं;
सदाफुली सांगते,
रुसुन रुसुन रहायचं नसतं,हसुन हसुन हसायचं असतं;
बकुळी म्हणते,
सवळ्या रंगाने हिरमुसायचं नसतं,गुनाच्या गंधाने जिंकायचं असतं;
मोगरा म्हणतो,
स्वत:चा बडेजावपणा सांगायचा नसतो,सदगुनांचा सुगंध मैलवरुन ही येतो;
कमळ म्हणतो,
संकटात चिखलात बुडायचं नसतं,संकटांना बुडवुन फुलायचं असतं

आयुष्य असच जगायचं असतं........
कुठून सुरु झालं हे माहित नसलं, तरी कुठे थांबायचं हे माहित असतं, आयुष्य
असच जगायचं असतं.
जे घडेल ते सहन करायचं असतं, बदलत्या जगाबरोबर बदलायचं असतं, आयुष्य असच
जगायचं असतं.
कुणासाठी काहीतरी निस्वार्थपणे करायचं असतं, स्वतःच्या सुखापेक्षा
इतरांना सुखवायचं असतं, आयुष्य असच जगायचं असतं.
दुःख आणि अश्रुंना मनात कोंडून ठेवायचं असतं, हसता नाही आलं तरी हसवायचं
असतं, आयुष्य असच जगायचं असतं.
पंखामध्ये बळ आल्यावर घरटं सोडायचं असतं, आकाशात झेपावूनही धरतीला
विसरायचं नसतं, आयुष्य असच जगायचं असतं....

Purani jeans....!!!

Purani jeans aur guitar
Mohalle ki vo chhat
Aur mere yaar
Vo raaton ko jaagna
Subah ghar jaan
Kood ke deewar

Vo cigaretee peena
Gali mein jaake
Wo karna daanton ko
Ghadi ghadi saaf


Pahunchna college hamesha late
Vo kehna sir ka
"Get out from the class!"
Vo bahar jaake hamsha kehna
Yahan ka system
Hi hai kharaab

Vo jaake canteen mein
Table bajaake
Vo gaane gaana
Yaaron ke saath

Bas yaadein Yaadein
Yaadein reh jaati hain
Kuchh chhoti Chhoti
Baatein reh jaati hain

Bas yaadein..

Vo papa ka daantna
Vo kehna mummy ka
Chhodein ji aap
Tumhein to bas nazar aata hain
Jahan mein beta
Mera hi kharaab

Vo dil mein sochna
Kar ke kuchh dikha dein
Vo karna planning
Roz nayi yaar

Ladakpan ka vo pehla pyaar
Vo likhna haathon pe
A + R

Vo khidki se jhaankna
Vo likhna letter
Unhein baar baar
Vo dena tofe mein
Sone ki baaliyan
Vo lena doston se
Paise udhaar

Bas yaadein Yaadein
Yaadein reh jaati hain
Kuchh chhoti Chhoti
Baatein reh jaati hain
Bas yaadein.......
