Laughter The Best Medicine …” Bijiness is Bijiness” !!!
Bijness is Bijiness
One day in a school in London, a teacher said to a class of 5-year-olds
I’ll give 10 pounds to the child who can tell me who was the most famous man who
ever lived.”
An Irish boy put his hand up and said, “It was St. Patrick.”
The teacher said, “Sorry Paddy, that’s not correct.”
Then a Scottish boy put his hand up and said, “It was St. Andrew.”
The teacher replied, “I’m sorry, Hamish, that’s not right either.”
Then a Jewish boy put his hand up and said “David”,
The Buddhist boy said “Gautama Buddha” and the Muslim boy said “Mohammed”.
They all were not successful. Finally, a Gujju Patel boy raised his hand and said, “It
was Jesus Christ.”
The teacher said, “That’s absolutely right, Jignesh, come up here and I’ll give
you the 10 pounds that I promised.”
As the teacher was giving Jignesh his money, she said, “You know Jignesh, since
you’re a Hindu Gujarati; I was very surprised you said Jesus Christ.”
Jignesh Patel replied, “Yes. In my heart I knew it was Krishna, but Bijness is
Bijness!!!!! !

Laughter the Best Medicine …” I Say Sam Ting ” !!!
Walking through San Francisco ‘s Chinatown, a tourist from the Midwest was enjoying the artistry of all the Chinese restaurants, shops, signs and banners.
When he turned a corner and saw a building with the sign
‘Moishe Plotnik’s Laundry.’
‘Moishe Plotnik?’ he wondered. ‘How does that belong inChinatown?’
He walked into the shop and saw a fairly standard looking dry cleaner, although he could see that the proprietors were clearly aware of the uniqueness of the store name as there were baseball hats, T-shirts and coffee mugs emblazoned with the logo’Moishe Plotnik’s Chinese Laundry.’ The tourist selected a coffee cup as a conversation piece to take back to his office. Behind the counter was a smiling old Chinese gentleman who thanked him for his purchase.
The tourist asked, ‘Can you explain how this place got a name like ‘Moishe Plotnik’s Laundry?”
The old man answered, ‘Ah..Evleebody ask me dat. It name of owner.’
Looking around, the tourist asked, ‘Is he here now?’
‘It me, Me him!’ replied the old man.
‘Really? You’re Chinese.
How did you ever get a Jewish name like Moishe Plotnik?’
‘
It simple’ said the old man. ‘Many, many year ago I come to this country. I, standing in line at ‘ Document Center of Immiglation.’
Man in front of me was man from Poland ..’
‘Lady at counter look at him and say to him, ‘What you name?’
He(Polish man)say to her, ‘Moishe Plotnik.’
Then she look at me and say, ‘What your name?’
I say,’Sam Ting.’

“Explain Your Anger…Don’t Express It …”
Angry people tend to jump to—and act on—conclusions, and some of those conclusions can be very inaccurate. The first thing to do if you’re in a heated discussion is slow down and think through your responses. Don’t say the first thing that comes into your head, but slow down and think carefully about what you want to say. At the same time, listen carefully to what the other person is saying and take your time before answering.
Personally , according to me good communication is very important in any relationship-whether it is with your spouse, your parents, your children , your siblings or your friends. If you take the time and effort to listen to what the other person has to say and understand his doubts – a lot of problems can be solved before they even rise. A lot of us believe in themselves so much that we think we can never be wrong and we start arguing with people just to prove that they are wrong.
I talk to my mom in India every evening and when the sunsets over here- she sees sunrise at her end.. So strange and So true.. We both can go on and on with the argument – she trying to convince me that sun is just rising — and I trying to prove that the sun is setting .. We don’t realize in an argument sometimes that the other person is right keeping in mind her experiences from life and the circumstances that made her understand those kind of situations and facts and at the same time we are also right depending where we are standing. Expressing your anger or having mindless arguments over such matters will just drift us away from our loved ones and give rise to the negative energy.
May Sai give us the wisdom to understand other people and learn to communicate with them in a proper manner .May He help us to realize that anger and arguments will never solve any problems. They just give rise to ego and make our lives complicated..
Quote of BABA:
Look at me with undivided attention; so will I look at you. This is the only truth that my guru had taught me.

A ” Close Shave ” For This Spring -Heeled Impala !!!
Dramatic scene captured at the South Luangwa National Park in Zambia….
This spring-heeled impala must be thankful for his sharp reflexes after he leapt high into the air to narrowly avoid the snapping jaws of a hungry crocodile.
The predator’s desperate lunge sent the animal high-jumping into the air, startling the yellow-billed oxpeckers that were resting on his back.
Although it was a lucky escape for the impala, one can’t help but feel pity for the crocodile – a specimen whose clumsy attempts to find a meal are a source of mirth to local guides.
Where’s everybody gone? The hungry crocodile, it turns out, is well known to local guides for being ‘useless’
The crocodile had arrived slowly, gliding across the surface of the still water, before hiding beneath at the very edge of the river bank, where it was spotted by a steely-eyed elephant.
The protective pachyderm saw that the crocodile had moved itself into an attack position and unsuccessfully tried to shepherd the impala away from the riverside – even at one point trying to stamp on the submerged predator.
But the impala failed to heed the elephant’s warning and their protector eventually lost patience and drifted away – leaving the crocodile free to make his move.
The dramatic images of his attack were captured by Kendal-based amateur photographer Rob Brookes, 64, at the South Luangwa National Park in Zambia, where he was on safari with wife Sue.
Mr Brookes said: ‘Even though I knew it was there, the expectation was tremendous as neither Sue nor myself have ever seen a croc attack and certainly not from the four metres or so we were away from this one.
‘Our guides were familiar with this croc and had very little regard for its ability, describing it as “useless”. Nonetheless I was holding my breath for longer than was healthy.’
The scene was played out on the banks of the Luangwa river which, at the very end of the dry season, had been reduced to a series of connected but quite shallow pools.
‘Rather surprisingly the impala didn’t retreat very far from the crocodile after the attack and soon returned to the river bank,’ said Mr Brookes.
‘They were however, very nervous and startled themselves with their own reflections for several minutes.
‘As soon as three or four of them had settled down and resumed drinking, the croc once again launched an attack but for some unknown reason this was completely in the wrong direction from where the impala were and served only to confirm the low opinion our guides had of him.
‘All in all I believe it managed five unsuccessful attacks during that day.’

As well as delighted parents William and Kate, there’s uncle Harry in the role of Santa Claus.
And the Queen, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall also make an appearance.
At first glance, you’d be forgiven for thinking you are privy to an advance sneak peek into the Royal family’s Christmas album.
But not is all as it seems. For this Sandringham scene has been created by spoof photographer Alison Jackson, using lookalikes.

Message For The Day…Love All and Serve All…
You are under the mistaken notion that you are rendering service to others. You should give up such a feeling. Only then does the service you perform become real service in the strict sense of the term. Service does not merely mean helping others. The best way to love God is to love all and serve all. Your acts of service should be suffused with the spirit of love. Without the positive aspect of love, all service you render becomes negative in nature. All bodies are like bulbs and love is the main switch. Only when the main switch is pressed, will the bodies radiate light and happiness to one and all. You are switching off the main switch and trying to enjoy happiness. It is impossible! Hrid + Daya(compassion) = Hridaya (heart). Your heart should be filled with compassion. All your activities should be suffused with love. There is no strength superior to love.
Coldest Place on Earth !!!
NASA scientists have discovered the coldest place on our planet. It’s a high ridge in Antarctica on the East Antarctic Plateau. On a clear winter night, temperatures can dip below -133.6 degrees F (-92 degrees C)
The new record is several degrees colder than the previous low of minus 128.6 F (minus 89.2 C), set in 1983 at the Russian Vostok Research Station in East Antarctica. The coldest permanently inhabited place on Earth is northeastern Siberia, where temperatures dropped to a bone-chilling 90 degrees below zero F (minus 67.8 C) in the towns of Verkhoyansk (in 1892) and Oimekon (in 1933).
Scientists at the National Snow and Ice Data Center made the discovery by analyzing 32 years of data from several satellites that have mapped Antarctica’s surface temperature.
Near a high ridge that runs from Dome Arugs to Dome Fuji, the scientists found clusters of pockets that have plummeted to record low temperatures dozens of times. The lowest temperature the satellites detected was minus 136 F (minus 93.2 C), on Aug. 10, 2010.
With remote-sensing satellites, scientists have found the coldest places on Earth, just off a ridge in the East Antarctic Plateau. The coldest of the cold temperatures dropped to minus 135.8 F (minus 93.2 C) — several degrees colder than the previous record. Image Credit: Ted Scambos, National Snow and Ice Data Center
The quest to find out just how cold it can get on Earth – and why – started when the researchers were studying large snow dunes on the East Antarctic Plateau. When the scientists looked closer, they noticed cracks in the snow surface between the dunes, which were possibly created when wintertime temperatures got so low the top snow layer shrunk. This led scientists to wonder what the temperature range was, and prompted them to hunt for the coldest places using data from satellite sensors.
