Good morning. A Parenting Story

Every year Rohan's parents took him to his grandmother's house for the summer break, and they would return home on the same train the next day.

Then, one day Rohan asks his parents:

#SundayThoughts #SundayMotivation
′′ I'm pretty big now, What if, I went to grandma's house alone this year?"

After a brief discussion, parents agree.

Here, they are - standing on the train station, greeting him, giving him one last tip through the window, as Rohan continues to repeat:
′′ I know, you've already told me a hundred times...!"

The train is about to leave and his father whispers:

′′Son, if you suddenly feel bad or scared, this is for you! ′′
And he slips something into his pocket.

Now, the boy is alone, sitting on the train, without his parents, for the first time...

He looks at the scenery through the window that scrolls..
Around him strangers hustle, make noise, enter and exit the compartment, the controller comments him that he is alone..

A person even gives him a sad look...
So the boy is feeling more uncomfortable..
And now he's scared. He lowers his head, snuggles in a corner of the seat, tears rise to his eyes.

At that point he remembers his father putting something in his pocket.
With a trembling hand he seeks to find this piece of paper, he opens it:
′′ Son, I'm in the last wagon..."

This is how it is in life too...

We must let our children go, trusting them... But, we must always be in the last wagon so they won't be afraid...

Stay close to them while we are alive...

One of the most significant things that Modi ji asserted (and not just stated) are 2 things: 1. Respect for Private Sector and Businessmen 2. That IAS folks are not and can not be masters of everything and anything.

moneycontrol.com/news/opinion/a…
I would think that these are path breaking assertive statements from which we cannot go back. Hope the Private Sector is given their breathing space and eco system to grow and not let the babus hijack their agendas.
The role of the Government is to be an enabler and an enforcer of laws - in a fair manner and not arbitrary Enforcement - speedy and time bound - will send out clear signals to everyone not to mess with legal frame work. Enablers need to act within a time bound manner.

#humor #NoGyan

One day an Irishman, who had been stranded on a deserted island for over 10 years, saw a speck on the horizon.

He thought to himself, "It's certainly not a ship."
As the speck got closer and closer, he began to rule out even the possibilities of a small boat or a raft.

Suddenly there strode from the surf a figure clad in a black wet suit.
Putting aside the scuba tanks and mask and zipping down the top of the wet suit stood a drop-dead gorgeous blonde!

She walked up to the stunned Irishman and said to him, "Tell me, how long has it been since you've had a good cigar?"

"Ten years," replied the amazed Irishman.

A brilliant message that I received on WA//

ग्रुप में जो भी मोदी विरोधी हैं उनका हार्दिक अभिनंदन करता हूँ।

आप सभी से विनम्र अनुरोध है कि मोदी की आलोचना और व्यर्थ की कमियां निकालने के स्थान पर आप अपनी पसंदीदा पार्टी के पसंदीदा नेता की तारीफ ग्रुप में करें।
उस नेता की खूबियां, उसकी ईमानदारी, उसकी उपलब्धियां और इन गुणों के आधार पर अपने पसंदीदा नेता की मोदी जी से तुलना करके ग्रुप में लोगों को मोदी का पीछा छोडने के लिए प्रोत्साहित करें।

क्या पता मोदी के वोट टूट जायें और हम भी आपके महान नेता के अनुगामी हो जाएं !
क्या पता मोदी के वोट टूट जायें और हम भी आपके महान नेता के अनुगामी हो जाएं !

शर्त एक ही है कि, आपको अपने पसंदीदा नेता के गुण और उपलब्धियाँ हमें बतानी हैं, ना कि मोदीजी की बुराई करनी है।

🙃 KITCHEN TIPS AND TRICKS!!😊 #cookingtips
From a friend who ran a catering business

1. If you happen to over-salt your gravy dish or soup, just drop in a peeled potato, and cook. The potato will absorb the excess salt.

Please share after reading!😉
Cheers.
2. When boiling eggs, add a pinch of salt to keep the shells from cracking.

3. Never put citrus fruits (Oranges, Lemons, limes) or tomatoes in the fridge. The low temperatures degrade its aroma and flavor - That's why our tomatoes don't last long!
4. To clean iron cook-ware, don’t use detergents. Just scrub them with salt and a clean, dry paper towel.

5. When storing empty airtight containers, throw in a pinch of salt to keep them from getting stinky.

Har Har Mahadev 🙏🙏🕉️🕉️ Suprabhat 🙏

Lord Shiva has five faces called Ishana, Tatpurusha, Aghora, Vamadeva and Sadyojatha. These five faces of Shiva represent the five basic elements viz. akash, air, fire, water and earth.

#MondayMotivation #MondayMorning #MondayVibes
In fact these faces can be called five forms of Shiva.

Any creation has to be made out of these five gross elements. The 1st form or face called Ishana, is the first physical form of Shiva. This form gives us pleasure that is enjoyed by our physical body.
This is represented in the form of organs of hearing and speech in our body and in the form of subtle sound and the celestial sphere or akash. It may be recalled that ancient rishis got the sound of Vedas only from akash.
