#humility #Mahabharata @YamunaHarsha (Thought about you while posting this - a WA forward)

While the Battle of Kurushetra was at its peak, Arjuna and Karna were fighting each other.
It was a battle to witness, a flurry of arrows were being exchanged, and even Gods were witnessing this epic battle between the 2 warriors.
Arjuna would shoot his arrows and the impact of these arrows would be so much that Karna’s chariot would go back by 25-30 feet. People who witnessed this were amazed by the skills of Arjuna.
Karna was no less. When he shot arrows, Arjuna’s chariot would also shake and go back by 3-4 feet.

More than everyone, Krishna would applaud Karna every time his arrow hit Arjuna’s chariot. But not once did He applaud Arjuna’s skills !
At the end of the day, Arjuna asked Krishna: “Oh Lord, I have shot so many arrows at Karna’s chariot, it was being displaced like a feather in wind, but not once did you appreciate me. Rather, you praise his skill despite his arrows just displacing my chariot a little”.
Krishna smiled and replied “Oh, Arjuna, remember, "your chariot is protected by Hanuman at the top on your flag, Me as your Charioteer in the front and by Sheshnag at its wheels,
yet the whole chariot would still sway and displace whenever the valiant Karna hit us with his arrows”.
“But Karna’s chariot is not protected by any such force, he is on his own, yet he fights valiantly”.
It is said that after the battle of Kurushetra was over, Krishna refused to get off the chariot till Arjuna got down. Once Krishna alighted from the chariot, it caught fire and turned to dust.
Krishna said, “Oh Arjuna, your chariot was destroyed by Karna a long time ago, it is I who was still protecting it.”
“Never in your life have the arrogance to say that you have achieved big heights.
If you have achieved something, it is the divine will, it is the divine intervention that has always protected you, cleared your path and
given you the right opportunities at the right time”!

_An excerpt from *Mahabharata//
Point is we all need to have the humility to accept that many events, actions happen in this world, not because of us at all. And that we are not the sole repository of all knowledge and wisdom.

#HealthInsurance
Today @rvaidya2000 Sir, whom I respect immensely, has quite a bit of questions on Health Insurance and the companies doing scamming, let me take on and address few pointers:
a. RV: It is a scam - CK: It is not a scam. Period.
b. They also have 2yr waiting for many diseases:)) - - Broadly there are 3 waiting periods:
i. 30 days from the date policy is taken for any hospitalization - it is a preventive measure to ensure that no one takes benefit from existing treatments. However, hospitalization....
due to accident is covered from Day 1.
ii. There are some medical conditions that insurers exclude for a period of either 1 or 2 years - such as Cataract or Knee Replacement or Hip Replacement surgery.

#naturetwitter #NatureConservation #Biodiversity #People An extraordinary experience happened y'day. A thread🧵 Divine interventions
I was making a business call and as I was going to leave the factory, the security guard informed me that rear tyre of the car had very low pressure and the Factory owner told me that there are places nearby to fix it. I wasn't too worried because I always carry a tire inflator.
I started my return journey and came across a small shop that does the work. Asked the guys there to fill the rear tire and after taking a look at it, he told me, "saab, yeh toh puncture hai. Isko teek kar dein ?" I said go ahead.

#Vaccines #CovidVaccines #COVID19 Saw quite a few Tweets on Vaccines. Some sections of Indians, are an ungrateful lot they weill complain if you do; will complain if you don’t. Heads they win, tails you lose is the situation.
A thread that is a tribute to the book, "Braving the Viral Storm" by @c_aashish and #SurajSudhir that dovetails of India's vaccination program and how India scaled up in a magnificent manner. This is a just a bird's eye view and Thread # 1.
Do they (the critics) even know what the Indian Government did under the most exacting circumstances where a web of lies and half truths went flying around and WHO was found wanting.

Congress invites Shri Jaishankar for dinner. - Read till end🤣🤣

The Story :

To counter the G-20 insult by Modi and also to cement their new alliance, the Dotted alliance gang built a new fancy office and named it "Mohabbat Ki Dukaan"
A grand program was organised for the inauguration, followed by a dinner hosted by Sonia.

The building had an exclusive "Freedom of speech and dissent" lounge for eminent intellectuals, historians, artists, economists, jurists to agonize and curse Modiji..
The MC for the event were Ravish and Rajdeep who were going Ga Ga over the Italian frescos, wine and beef menu.

To rub it in, they invite only S. Jaishankar from BJP to the dinner.

A post by my friend Viji on dealing with life matters. She is not on Twitter anymore; but the words are so mature, wise and wonderful.
Realize that parents & siblings matter
Marry early, raise a family early
Focus on your choice of spouse 🌟⭐
Fall for the heart, not the charm
Bond with your children deeply
Prioritize family over career
Teach your life to your children
Live your faith with your children
Root them in your faith
Support them emotionally
Educate them on Karma
Show them love matters
Cry if you have to
Stay strong, even then

On the issue that sexual organs don't decide your gender😂

One fine day, in the nyayalay, an earthshaking argument was in progress....

Banda: Your Honor, this cattle seller Chanda has cheated me.
I wanted to buy two cows and paid him ₹ 1 Lakh for two cows. But he as sold me two bullocks. This is udder cheating...

Justice MoonCho: Why did you cheat him ?

Chanda:_ I have not cheated Your Honor. I sold him a pair of cattle for ₹ 1 Lakh.
Justice MoonCho: What nonsense ? I can clearly see two bullocks there in the image produced as evidence.

Chanda: Your Honor, I would humbly like to remind you that there is nothing like absolute male or absolute female. Gender is not about genitals alone.
