STOCK MARKET
 
Once upon a time in a village, a man announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for Rs 10. The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them..

The man bought thousands at Rs 10 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort.

He further announced that he would now buy at Rs20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.

Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to Rs 25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at Rs 50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.

In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at Rs 35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell it to him for Rs 50."
The villagers squeezed up with all their savings and bought all the monkeys.

Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!

Welcome to the 'Stock Market'



strangers shall not to be under estimated--------an interestingincident.


It was a recruitment session in a reputed IT firm. There were many rounds for sorting the candidates .Each round had some drop list. All who went through the tests had to go for next level. Finally very few were left for the next levels.

“HARSH  WORDS HURT”
 
I always liked food prepared by mom. When I was  kid, one night she had made dinner after a long  hard day at work. She placed a plate of bread jam  and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I  was waiting to see if anyone noticed the burnt toast.  But dad just ate his toast and asked me how was my day at school.
 
Afterwards, I do remember I heard mom apologizing  to dad for burning the toast. And I'll never forget  what he said: "Honey, I love burned toast." Later  that night, I went to kiss dad good night and  asked  him if he really liked his toast burnt. He wrapped  me in his arms and said,  "Your momma put in a long hard day at work today  and she was really tired.  
 
And besides,  a burnt  toast never hurts anyone but harsh words do!
 
You know, life is full of imperfect things and  imperfect people. I'm not the best at hardly anything, and I do forget birthdays and  anniversaries just like everyone else. What I've learned over the years, is that learning to accept  each others faults and choosing to celebrate each  other’s differences, is one of the most important  keys to  creating a healthy, growing, and lasting  relationship”. 
 
Life is too short to wake up with regrets. Love the  people who treat you right and have compassion for  the ones who don't. ENJOY LIFE NOW.  It has an expiry  date.


Don't miss even a single word... Too good 

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new students to stand and.....
Prof:-So you believe in God?
Student:-Absolutely, sir.
Prof: -Is God good?
Student:-Sure.
Prof:-Is God all-powerful?
Student: -Yes.
Prof:-My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?

(Student is silent.)

Prof:-You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fellow Is God well?
Student:-Yes.
Prof:-Is Satan good?
Student: - No.
Prof:-Where does Satan come from?
Student:-From...God....
Prof:-That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student:-Yes.
Prof:-Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student:-Yes.
Prof:-So who created evil? 

(Student does not answer.) 

Prof:-Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student:-Yes, sir.
Prof:-So, who created them?

(Student has no answer.)

Prof:-Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever
seen God?
Student:-No, sir.
Prof:-Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student:-No, sir.
Prof:-Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student:-No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: -Yet you still believe in Him?
Student:-Yes.
Prof:-According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student:-Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof:-Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student:-Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof:-Yes.
Student:-And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof:-Yes.
Student:-No sir. There isn't.
 
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.) 
  
Student-: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that.
There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it. (There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student:-What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof:-Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student:-You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof:-So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student:-Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof:-Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student:-Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof:-If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student:-Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?


(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)

Student:-Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher? (The class is in uproar.)
Student:-Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student: - Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Prof:-I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student:-That is it sir.... The link between man & god is FAITH . That is all that keeps things moving & alive.
NB: I believe you have enjoyed the conversation...and if so...you'll probably want your friends/colleagues to enjoy the same...won't you?..... This is a true story, and the
student was none other than.........
