According to a 19th century legend, the Truth and the Lie meet one day. The Lie says to the Truth: "It's a marvellous day today"! The Truth looks up to the skies and sighs, for the day was really beautiful. They spend a lot of time together, ultimately arriving beside a well.
The Lie tells the Truth: "The water is very nice, let's take a bath together!" The Truth, once again suspicious, tests the water and discovers that it indeed is very nice. They undress and start bathing. Suddenly, the Lie comes out of the water, puts on the clothes of the Truth
And runs away. The furious Truth comes out of the well and runs everywhere to find the Lie and to get her clothes back. The World, seeing the Truth naked, turns its gaze away, with contempt and rage.
The poor Truth returns to the well and disappears forever, hiding therein,
its shame. Since then, the Lie travels around the world, dressed as the Truth, satisfying the needs of society, because, the World, in any case, harbours no wish at all to meet the naked Truth.
Today's situation in the world explained perfectly.
This is depicted beautifully in a famous painting- "The Truth coming out of the well" by Jean-Léon Gérôme, 1896.

A fun post. Copied from a WhatsApp forward.
Yesterday I received a friend request from a young attractive guy..about 19-20 years old. I was curious.
I wanted to know why someone that young wanted to be my FB friend.
So I accepted it. Then he started sending me private messages.
He called me beautiful. He asked my age. I'm not a liar so I told him and reminded him I'm quite a bit his senior. Within a short time, he asked if we could talk about 'adult things'. I said ok. Then he replied with a face like 👿. He said 'thank you babe, you start..
So I did!
I told him adult things like I have arthritis and my knees hurt badly. My back acts up when it is cold outside. I explained that I have crazy insomnia. Didn't forget to tell him about my asthma inhaler. Can't forget that. I told him sometimes I wake up with horrible neck pain

I grew up in Bombay, not Mumbai. Or Calcutta, not Kolkata.

Regardless of the weather, our dinner time was at 8:00 PM and bed time was 10:30.
Eating out at a restaurant was a huge deal, a rarity actually, that only happened when it was a birthday or a
very special occasion to celebrate.

There was no such thing as fast food on every other day, and having a bottle of soft drinks and an ice-cream from the local shop was a real treat.

Pass your final exams and you might have gotten a new set of clothes, or Bata shoes.
You took your school clothes off as soon as you got home and put on your ‘home’ clothes.
There was no taking or picking you up in the car, you either boarded the school bus or rode on public transport, or just walked home.
You got home did your chores & homework before dinner

The donkey said to the tiger, 'The grass is blue.' Tiger said, 'No grass is green.'
Then the discussion between the two became intense. Both of them are firm in their own words. To end this controversy, both went to Lion – King of Jungle.
In the middle of the animal kingdom, sitting on the throne was a lion. The donkey started yelling before the tiger could say anything. “Your Highness, the grass is blue, isn’t it?” Lion said, 'Yes! The grass is blue. '

Donkey, 'This tiger does not believe. Annoys me
He should be punished properly. ' The king declared, 'Tiger will be jailed for a year. King's verdict was heard by donkey and he was jumping in joy in entire jungle.. The tiger was sentenced to one-year jail. '

The Tiger went to the Lion and asked, 'Why Your Highness!

"Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.
But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die.
You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.

A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell,

We all know that Kareena Kapoor is expecting a second child.

We know that Anushka Sharma is expecting her first child and her husband, India Cricket Team Captain Virat Kohli has come back from Australia to be with her.

We also know which actor wears which designer clothes.
But do we care to know who was Cadet Amit Raj?

We don’t.

I don't completely blame you for this.
We all waste our news appetite on junk news which never adds any value to our society.
On 3rd of Dec, Cadet Amit Raj of Sainik School Purulia, was at his hometown Nalanda in Bihar.
While jogging around 6 am he heard people shouting in the neighborhood. He stepped out to see that a neighboring house was on fire. Without thinking twice he entered the house to save 3 children who were trapped inside. He sustained 85% burns by the time he saved the first two

I heard a very interesting analogy today,
A 10 floor building did not have a lift, so people had problem climbing up and down. Specially the elderly and the kids, so the society started exploring options.
Finally they got some donkeys, who could carry people up and down. The donkey owners would charge people for carrying them up and down for a fee and would also pay 10% to the society from the revenue they earned. It was a very happy situation for all involved.
After sometime the society management changed, the new management decided to install a lift for carrying people up and down.
All hell broke loose and everyone started protesting, this is not fair, society will loose revenue. The donkey owners will be jobless..
