Lunch With God !!!

BEAUTIFUL EPISODE – INTERESTING – THOUGHT PROVOKING

A little boy wanted to meet GOD.

He knew it was a long trip to where GOD lived, so he packed his backpack with sandwiches and a six-pack of lemonades, and started his journey.

When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old man sitting on a bench. The oldman was sitting in the park staring at some pigeons.

The boy sat down next to him and opened his backpack. He was about to take a drink from his lemonade when he noticed that the old man looked hungry, so he offered him a sandwich.

The old man gratefully accepted it and smiled at the little boy. His smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered him a lemonade.

Again, the old man smiled at him. The boy was delighted!

They sat there all afternoon eating, drinking and smiling, and they never said a word. As it grew dark, the little boy realised how tired he was and he got up to leave. But before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old man and gave him a hug. The old man gave the little boy his biggest smile ever.

When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, What did you do today that made you so happy?

He replied, “I had lunch with GOD.” But before his mother could respond, he added, “You know what? He has the most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen!”

Meanwhile, the old man, also radiant with joy, returned to his home. His son was stunned by the look of peace on her face and asked, “Dad, what did you do today that made you so happy?”

He replied, “I ate sandwiches in the park with GOD.” Before his son responded, he added, “You know, God’s much younger than I expected.”

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Remember, we don’t know what God looks like. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.Embrace all equally!

Divine Image of the Day….With a Message for Valentine Day….

 

Just remember that Guru’s tortoise like loving glance gives us happiness.   

A message from A SAI DEVOTEE  this Day….Valentine Day… is being shared with you all..

“I have always believed that if you can not love a person who you can see and hear,- then loving God is a chapter known as Mission Impossible. Love is one thing that can make your heart skip a beat, it can make you dance on the moon and sing with the birds.It is a state of mind where your Life Patner’s happiness and wishes mean more to you than your own. May be because love teaches us to be kind, it teaches you to trust , it teaches you to share , it teaches you to smile, it teaches you to be confident,it teaches you the lesson of honesty and goodness– basically it teaches you to be true to your own self and your heart and your soul. It is the one special feeling which has helped us become the person we are today.. So for all those of you who have not yet been lucky in love- ,cut the arrogance, cut the ego, stop being possessive, jealous , angry or mean .. Just fall in love with your Life partner once again because the road to happiness and peace of mind goes thru the smile and the twinkle in the eyes of your Valentine.”

” This is Bill Gates”….

Microsoft chairman and co-founder Bill Gates took to Reddit on Monday for “Ask Me Anything” session and opened up on various topics ranging from tech to his philanthropic works to his favorite band, if you are wondering, it is U2.

 


This was his first AMA session, logging in as “this is billgates,” he fielded dozens of questions from Reddit users for several hours, sometimes buzzing in the follow-up threads to the approval of many participants. The unfiltered nature of Reddit AMA gave Gates a chance to put both his genius and wit on display to a crowd that consists largely of people just like him: geeks who are passionate about the Internet and technology.

 

The session revealed some of the secrets and some of the biggest regrets carried by the tech’s richest man, as  compiled by Mashable. Here are some excerpts…
Steve Jobs
On his relationship with Steve Jobs, Gates said “He and I respected each other. Our biggest joint project was the Mac where Microsoft had more people on the project than Apple did as we wrote a lot of applications. I saw Steve regularly over the years including spending an afternoon with him a few months before he tragically passed away.”
What Gates Would Have Been
His answer to what he would’ve done if Microsoft hadn’t taken off: “If the microprocessor had NOT come along I am not sure what I would have done. Maybe medicine or theoretical math but it is hard to say.”
He’s Funny
Gates showed his funnier and wittier side to some usual, some conflicting questions. When asked what do people give you for your birthday, given that you can buy anything you want? Gates said, “Free software. Just kidding. Books actually.” And when was asked a conflicting question about if he prefers Windows 7 or Windows 8, he replied: “Higher is better.”
And the thing that takes cream of the crop about Gates being funny is— “Since becoming wealthy, what’s the cheapest thing that gives you the most pleasure?” He replied “Kids. Cheap cheeseburgers. Open Course Ware courses,” and then obviously bewildered questioner asked “Where are you acquiring these cheap kids from?” Gates replied “The stork.”
His Regret
Cloud computing is a relatively recent phenomenon, but Gates had wanted to bring it mainstream a few years early with the 2007 release of Windows Vista. When asked what one Microsoft program or product that was never fully developed or released do you wish had made it to market? Gates said “We had a rich database as the client/cloud store that was part of a Windows release that was before its time. This is an idea that will remerge since your cloud store will be rich with schema rather than just a bunch of files and the client will be a partial replica of it with rich schema understanding.”
Gates was referencing WinFS, or Windows Future Storage. The idea behind WinFS was to integrate some relational database technologies with the Windows File System. In its early (codename “Cairo”) days, WinFS was key to Microsoft’s plans to create a true, object-oriented file store.
At one point, Microsoft was touting WinFS as one of the key components Windows Vista/Longhorn. Then the Longhorn reset happened and Microsoft ended up rolling out bits of WinFS as components of SQL Server and other database-focused deliverables.
He Still Codes

Gates left his job as Microsoft CEO years ago to devote himself full-time to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, but he still finds time to dabble in programming. When asked if he still codes, Gates replied, “Not as much as I would like to. I write some C, C# and some Basic. I am surprised new languages have not made more progress in simplifying programming. It would be great if most high school kids were exposed to programming”

Message For The Day… World is a Stage For HIS Play !!!

The Lord has declared in the Geetha, “Mama maaya” or “My illusion”. This implies that the world is His handiwork, His Divine sport & glory (leela & mahima). It is devised as a training ground, an inspiration for those who desire to see Him, Who is its Source, Director, & Master. Once you see the world as the stage for His play, then you will no longer be misled, nor distracted, nor deceived by any tricks or stage effects. From illusion, you must get interested in the Author, the Master. The play is real only as long as it lasts, when you are in the theatre. So too, the world is just a mirage! A mirage does not originate from rain. It will not reach any lake or sea. It was not there before the sunrise, nor will it be there after the sunset. It is just an intervening phenomenon, it is best left alone! So too, God truly is more real than the world, this is the essence of Indian scriptures.

Go to CHURCH…

One Sunday morning, a mother went in to wake her son and tell him it was time to
get ready for church, to which he replied, “I’m not going.”
“Why not?” she asked.
I’ll give you two good reasons,” he said. “(1), they don’t like me, and (2), I don’t like them.”
His mother replied, “I’ll give you two good reasons why you SHOULD go to church:
(1) You’re 59 years old, and (2) you’re the pastor!”
===================================================
The Usher

An elderly woman walked into the local country church.
The friendly usher greeted her at the door and helped her up the flight of steps.
“Where would you like to sit?” he asked politely.
“The front row, please,” she answered.
“You really don’t want to do that,” the usher said. “The pastor is really boring.”
“Do you happen to know who I am?” the woman inquired.
“No,” he said.
“I’m the pastor’s mother,” she replied indignantly.
“Do you know who I am?” he asked.
“No,” she said.
“Good,” he answered.
=====================================================
The Best Way To Pray

A priest, a minister and a guru sat discussing the best positions for prayer,
while a telephone repairman worked nearby.
“Kneeling is definitely the best way to pray,” the priest said.
“No,” said the minister. “I get the best results standing with my hands
outstretched to Heaven.”
“You’re both wrong,” the guru said. “The most effective prayer position
is lying down on the floor.”
The repairman could contain himself no longer.
“Hey, fellas,” he interrupted.
“The best prayin’ I ever did was when I was hangin’ upside down from a
telephone pole.”
====================================================
The Twenty and the One

A well-worn one-dollar bill and a similarly distressed twenty-dollar bill
arrived at a Federal Reserve Bank to be retired.
As they moved along the conveyor belt to be burned, they struck up a conversation.
The twenty-dollar bill reminisced about its travels all over the country.
“I’ve had a pretty good life,” the twenty proclaimed.
“Why I’ve been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City , the finest restaurants ln New York , performances on Broadway, and even a cruise to the Caribbean .”
“Wow!” said the one-dollar bill. “You’ve really had an exciting life!”
“So, tell me,” says the twenty, “where have you been throughout your lifetime?”
The one dollar bill replies, “Oh, I’ve been to the Methodist Church , the Baptist Church,
the Lutheran Church .”
The twenty-dollar bill interrupts, “What’s a church?”

சும்மா ஒரு தமாஷ் !!! கடி தமாஷும் கூட!!!!

மனைவி: ஏங்க, ஆயிரம் பொய் சொல்லி ஒரு கல்யாணம் பண்ணணும்னு சொல்வாங்க. நம்ம கல்யாணத்துக்கு எத்தனை பொய் சொன்னீங்க?
கணவன்: ஒரே ஒரு பொய்தான் சொன்னேன்
மனைவி: அப்படியா? என்ன பொய் சொன்னீங்க?
கணவன்: உன்னைப் பிடிச்சுருக்குன்னு ஒரே ஒரு பொய்தான் சொன்னேன்

(வேகமாக மணியடித்தபடி சென்று
கொண்டிருந்த தீயணைப்பு வண்டியைப்
பார்த்துவிட்டு பக்கத்து வீட்டுப் பையன்)
இந்த வேகத்துல போனால், ஒரு ஐஸ் கூட விக்க முடியாது அங்கிள்!

ஒருவன் டீக்கடைக்குப் போனான்.
அவன் பெஞ்சுக்கு எதிரில் இன்னொருவன் டீ குடித்துக் கொண்டிருந்தான். அவனுடைய காலடியில் ஒரு நாய் படுத்துக் கிடந்தது. இவன் பயந்துபோய், “”உங்க நாய் கடிக்குமா?” என்று கேட்டான். அதற்கு அவன் “இல்லை’ என்றான். நிம்மதியாக உட்கார்ந்து ஒரு பிஸ்கட்டை இவன் வாயில் வைக்கப் போகும்போது, நாய் திடீரெனப் பாய்ந்து இவன் கையைக் கடித்துவிட்டது.
அலறியபடி இவன் கேட்டான்: “ஏம்ப்பா… உன் நாய் கடிக்காது என்றாயே?”
“ஆம். இது என்னுடைய நாய் இல்லை. என் நாய் வீட்டில் இருக்கிறது” என்றான் அவன்.

Just For Laugh !!!!….A Lion”s Share of Joke!!!!!

“Two lions escape from a zoo. One of the lions had been captured from the jungle, so he runs back to the jungle.
The other was born in the zoo itself – so is basically a city-slicker. He vanishes into the city.

Three days later the jungle-lion is recaptured – and returned to the zoo.

A month passes, then two, three….. but city-lion is not traceable!
Finally, after six months the city-lion is also recaptured and brought back to the zoo.

Jungle-lion is amazed to see his friend.

Jungle-lion: For God’s sake, how were you able to evade these guys for 6 whole months?!

City-lion: Kuchh nahi yaar! I just went to a government department, and hid behind a huge pile
of dusty files that they have there.

Jungle-lion: But what did you eat there?

City-lion: Arrey, there was an unlimited supply of government servants. Whenever I ate one,
they hired five more. Nobody did any work anyway, so nobody missed the ones I ate.

Jungle-lion: Wow! But, then how did you get caught?

City-lion: Galti kar gaya yaar…….
On the last day I ate the chai-walla. Now, everyone missed their chai-walla & their chai!
They launched a massive hunt. And I got caught!”
