Wisdom and foolishness !!

Once upon a time there lived a wise man. Someone found that he was living among fools. He decides to change the situation. The wise man finally falls among wisemen. He soon realises that ' Wisemen were behaving like fools and fools were behaving like Wisemen' Then who is a fool and who is the wiser ?

Nothing left !

Mr. Wilson, who had a beautiful wife, was a merciless drunkard . Although having a prosperous business he was always running out of money. The only thing that mattered to him was that his wisky bottle should remain intact...Full..that is ! As it happens in such cases he was in debt..heavily put down and depressed. Mrs. Wilson was quite aware of it. Till now she took care to see that he was always provided. But the limit of tolerance sometime diminishes with circumstances not entirely favourable. It was evening and as usual Mr. Wilson was heavily drunk. Soon his mood turned towards philosophy..philosophy and philosopy. " Nothing , my darling , nothing , " he mused. " Did you say anything, darling ?" " Nothing " he repeated. " Do you want anything darling?" " Nothing." " Darling, that you will find in the Wisky Bottle."

It was an early winter morning. The sun was rising and everything was happening as it should happen. But something was happening that should not have happened.

This is a common malady most of us suffer from. We all want to get Maximum out of life with Mminimum of effort. It has become the nature of majority and the root cause is always 'a sense of reluctance to shoulder responsibility'.

How he did it !!

They were friends from their very childhood. At last the time came when they should part company for more important worldly matters. After much thinking they decided to stay side by side and go on enjoying each others company. They opened their individual shops on the same street. In fact side by side. After a week they both found they were unable to attract customers. One day, one of them found that a local respectable person took his morning walk every day. He went to a nearby park and after finishing his M-walk once again passed the shop towards his homeward journey. Mr. Intelligent kept thinking. Few days later he approached the gentleman and requested him to take some rest, have a cup of tea and refresh, before proceeding towards his house. The gentleman found this to be a good idea since, in the process, he could have a bit of a chit chat with the owner of the shop and get first hand local news. Days kept passing. People around the locality got curious to find such a respectable

American Relation- History !

He was a poor boy working for a merchant. The merchant found him intellegent. One day he sent him to an auction. Finding the material already sold the boy got interested in a submerged ship. He offered Rs. 14000/- and the deal was done. Within an hour he found an interested customer and sold the ship for Rs. 1,14,000/-. The merchant was impressed and took only his share and left Rs.100,000/- for the boy. Now the boy ventured for his own business. Within short time he flourished and had 4 ships of his own. In fact, it was this very boy who latter pioneered the Indo- American Trade Relation. The American traders were so impressed that they presented him with a life sieze painting of George Washington. It is said that the American President himself stood before the artist Gilbert so that he could finish the painting. Post by :- Saibal & Mausam Deb (descendants)

LIFE before SUICIDE !!

He was completely a broken man. Broken and shattered to the truest sense of the word. He lost his job, he lost his savings, his wife left him and his landlady was threatening to sue him. A large numbers of cre- ditors were tearing him to pieces and he was fast loosing whatever he had- his health. All his friends, but one, would not even touch him with a long stick. But one- his lone friend- advised him to remain cheerful and calm. " How can I think myself living at the top of the world when there is no hope left-not the faintest one?" His friend advised him to do certain things for only a week and his troubles will be over- he guaranteed ! He decided to give it a last try before taking the extreme step. " Your first step will be to remain cheerful and believe Firmly that your troubles will be over by next week and you will get back whatever you have lost." " How can I do that when I don't even know when I will have my next square meal ?" " I can

Rikshawalla !

It was a nice morning when I took a rick shaw to bring home a newly bought computer. It was somewhere near M. G. Road when a policeman intercepted. There was a bit of argument between the rickshawalla and the policeman. Suddenly the latter grabbed the rickshaw and tried to take it towards a particular direction. It was too much for me and so I decided to intervene. To my utter surprise the ' keeper of law ' behaved in a manner which was not very pleasant for a gentleman to bear.
