Joke of the Day…. ” Yes …that is it … ” !!!
Two elderly couples were enjoying a friendly conversation when one of the men asked the other, “Fred, how was the memory clinic you went to last month?”
“Outstanding,” Fred replied. “They taught us all the latest psychological techniques: visualization, association, etc. It was great.”
“That’s great! And what was the name of the clinic?”
Fred went blank. He thought and thought, but couldn’t remember. Then a smile broke across his face and he asked, “What do you call that flower with the long stem and thorns?”
“You mean a rose?”
“Yes, that’s it!”
He turned to his wife, “Rose, what was the name of that memory clinic?”

IT WAS the last thing pilot Carey Smith Steacy expected to find at the end of her flight.
Instead of a message of thanks for a good trip, Steacy was shocked when she was handed an infuriating note left behind by a passenger.
The note, written on a serviette by ‘David’ who was in seat 12E on the Calgary-bound flight on the weekend, complained that the cockpit of a plane “is no place for a woman”.
He asked the airline to alert him the next time “a fair lady is at the helm, so I can book another flight!”

Steacy, who lives in Surrey, Canada, posted the photos on her Facebook page along this response: “To @David in 12E on my flight #463 from Calgary to Victoria today. It was my pleasure flying you safely to your destination.
“Thank you for the note you discreetly left me on your seat. You made sure to ask the flight attendants before we left if I had enough hours to be the Captain so safety is important to you, too.
“I have heard many comments from people throughout my 17-year career as a pilot. Most of them positive. Your note is, without a doubt, the funniest. It was a joke, right? RIGHT?? I thought, not. You were more than welcome to deplane when you heard I was a ‘fair lady’.
“You have that right. Funny, we all, us humans, have the same rights in this great free country of ours. Now, back to my most important role, being a mother.”
The response earned her a lot of praise on Twitter.

Message for the Day…” You Must always Talk to others in a Pleasing Manner…”
In a story, Birbal tells Akbar, “Sweet talk is the sweetest thing in the world; nothing else, not milk, honey or jaggery comes close to it. A sweet word is the most valuable thing; through it one we can win a person over, give great joy and even attain a higher status. When crows caw at us, we throw stones at them. Whereas, when cuckoos sing, we respect them. Neither is the cuckoo going to give us a crown, nor will the crow punish us. When one’s speech is good, one earns a good name. Hence, a sweet word is indeed the sweetest thing in the world.” You must always talk to others in a manner which would give them contentment and joy. This is the essence of all scriptures. It is not enough to listen to, learn or chant Vedas, scriptures and Puranas (ancient spiritual texts), you must give joy and satisfaction to others.

Liam was surprised again. “How is it you came down so fast?” Michael smiled and said, “25 dollars is what he’s worth, all right, but you’re my friend, and I thought you’d like owning a 500 dollar horse.”

Here’s a humorous story about a wealthy businessman as told by one of his grandchildren. Back in 1927 the businessman was bringing his wife, new baby and a nurse home from the hospital in a brand new Lincoln. As luck would have it, the car stalled on the tracks and they could hear a whistle blowing in the distance. Now, the man would rather risk his life than admit he couldn’t handle any problem.
He looked at his watch and said calmly, ”The 4:05 is right on time.” ”My baby!” screamed his wife. ”Let’s get out!” ”What! And leave a $6,000 Lincoln on the tracks!” He snapped. ”If you will just settle down, I’ll get it started.”
But nobody settled down, and the train came into view. Everyone left the car except the businessman. He leaned out the window and yelled to his wife, ”Hey Ruth. In case I get killed, the key to the vault is behind the Shakespeare book in my study.”
The conductor, slowing down for a stop anyway, managed to halt the train ten feet from the car.
”Darn!” cursed the businessman. ”Now I’ve got to find a new hiding place for the vault key!”

Joke For The Day…”Jassica , shut your mouth …” !!!
John and Jessica were on their way home from the bar one night and John got pulled over by the police. The officer told John that he was stopped because his tail light was burned out.
John said, “I’m very sorry officer, I didn’t realize it was out, I’ll get it fixed right away.”
Just then Jessica said, “I knew this would happen when I told you two days ago to get that light fixed.“
So the officer asked for John’s license and after looking at it said, “Sir your license has expired.“
And again John apologized and mentioned that he didn’t realize that it had expired and would take care of it first thing in the morning.
Jessica said, “I told you a week ago that the state sent you a letter telling you that your license had expired.“
Well by this time, John is a bit upset with his wife contradicting him in front of the officer, and he said in a rather loud voice, “Jessica, shut your mouth!!”
The officer then leaned over toward Jessica and asked. “Does your husband always talk to you like that?“
“Not always,” answers Jessica, “only when he’s drunk.“

Message for the Day…”Prayer is for the Mind just as Food for the Body …”
|
Prayer is for the mind, just as food is for the body. Wholesome food gives health and strength to the body. Prayer purifies your mind and strengthens your spirit. If bhajans are done in an ostentatious manner, ego gets bloated. Young people must proceed from tamas, the darkness of ignorance, to tapas, spiritual austerities. Be steadfast in pursuing whatever you choose. There is no point in doing meditation for two days and giving up on the third day. If you start practicing meditation, it must become an integral part of your life. You cannot assume you are meditating by merely closing your eyes. You must progress until you feel united with the God present within your heart. Along with meditation, you must acquire the knowledge and skills to lead your professional life. You must always maintain the same discipline and strength of character, wherever you are. |

World”s Oldest Person… Secrets of Her Longevity !!!

THE world’s oldest person has revealed the secret behind her long and healthy life, but if you think it’s all down to diet and lots of exercise then think again.
As it turns out Misao Okawa, who turns 116 years old on Wednesday, reckons it’s down to two simple things: sushi and sleep.
The Japanese woman, whose life has spanned across three centuries, eats three meals a day and ensures she always gets eight hours rest a night.

Mrs Okawa, who has four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, also credits oily fish such as mackerel for her longevity and only went into a care home 18 years ago at the age of 98.
“She insists that her favourite meal is sushi, particularly mackerel on vinegar-steamed rice, and she has it at least once every month, Tomohito Okada, the head of the Kurenai retirement home where she lives told The Telegraph .
The mother-of-three has been a widow since her husband Yukio passed away in 1931 and has an elderly son, 94, and daughter, 92 as well as four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
Mrs Okawa became the world’s oldest person following the death of 116-year-old Japanese man Jiroemon Kimura on June 12, 2013.
In August last year, Bolivian indigenous farmer Carmelo Flores Laura who claimed he had just turned 123, attributed his longevity to the traditional Andean diet.

He credits a diet of quinoa, mushrooms and coca for keeping him alive so long as well as lots of walking and alcohol.
However, there was some difficulty obtaining proof of his birth as Bolivia only started issuing official birth certificates in 1940.
But he does have a baptism certificate which lists his birthday as July 16, 1890 and he has national identity documents based on the certificate.
Bolivia’s Civil Registry Office looked into the validity of the documents and has confirmed they are legitimate.
However, according to Guinness World Records Mrs Okawa is the oldest living person verified by original proof of birth.
But it seems healthy foods may not always be the answer to long life alone.
last year Texas woman Pearl Cantrell reckoned the secret to long life was bacon.
“I love bacon, I could eat it for every meal — and I do,” she told local TV station KRBC.
“I want other people to eat bacon, I tell them too. My kids all eat it.”
