Respect every relation, but know the priorities.

Awesome story!….some relations can be set on priority basis but for some it is juz what cant be explained nor its easy to make a choice among them…but Aliza was quite correct in her decision and the reason she gave..agree with!

Story is good. but we have respect every relation. even we have to respect our enemy too . friends, parents, son, neighbours all having importance but each having different importance.
for example
we hestitate to share our personal feeling with parents but same feeling we share with friends without hestitation.
and most important in our life is books.

parents age = Aliza+ 25
husband age = Aliza +- 5

so, who will be with her in loneliness ?
even as a husband i will choose the wife only. as bro/sis will be having a separate life

Books, hard copy, soft copy all r useless, that is only reference material , information bank only.
until we can process the knowledge, aims, application of information,
proper thing at proper place, proper time.

Gyan is everywhere, subjects are more than 100,
so how to make use of that ?

कविता जो दिल को छू गई

एक कमरा था
जिसमें मैं रहता था
माँ-बाप के संग

घर बड़ा था
इसलिए इस कमी को
पूरा करने के लिए
मेहमान बुला लेते थे हम!

फिर विकास का फैलाव आया
विकास उस कमरे में नहीं समा पाया

जो चादर पूरे परिवार के लिए बड़ी पड़ती थी
उस चादर से बड़े हो गए
हमारे हर एक के पाँव

लोग झूठ कहते हैं
कि दीवारों में दरारें पड़ती हैं
हक़ीक़त यही
कि जब दरारें पड़ती हैं
तब दीवारें बनती हैं!

पहले हम सब लोग दीवारों के बीच में रहते थे
अब हमारे बीच में दीवारें आ गईं
यह समृध्दि मुझे पता नहीं कहाँ पहुँचा गई

पहले मैं माँ-बाप के साथ रहता था
अब माँ-बाप मेरे साथ रहते हैं

फिर हमने बना लिया एक मकान
एक कमरा अपने लिए
एक-एक कमरा बच्चों के लिए

एक वो छोटा-सा ड्राइंगरूम
उन लोगों के लिए जो मेरे आगे हाथ जोड़ते थे
एक वो अन्दर बड़ा-सा ड्राइंगरूम
उन लोगों के लिए
जिनके आगे मैं हाथ जोड़ता हूँ

पहले मैं फुसफुसाता था
तो घर के लोग जाग जाते थे
मैं करवट भी बदलता था
तो घर के लोग सो नहीं पाते थे

और अब!
जिन दरारों की वहज से दीवारें बनी थीं
उन दीवारों में भी दरारें पड़ गई हैं।

अब मैं चीख़ता हूँ
तो बग़ल के कमरे से
ठहाके की आवाज़ सुनाई देती है

और मैं सोच नहीं पाता हूँ
कि मेरी चीख़ की वजह से
वहाँ ठहाके लग रहे हैं
या उन ठहाकों की वजह से
मैं चीख रहा हूँ!

आदमी पहुँच गया हैं चांद तक
पहुँचना चाहता है मंगल तक
पर नहीं पहुँच पाता सगे भाई के दरवाज़े तक

अब हमारा पता तो एक रहता है
पर हमें एक-दूसरे का पता नहीं रहता

और आज मैं सोचता हूँ
जिस समृध्दि की ऊँचाई पर मैं बैठा हूँ
उसके लिए मैंने कितनी बड़ी खोदी हैं खाइयाँ

अब मुझे अपने बाप की बेटी से
अपनी बेटी अच्छी लगती है
अब मुझे अपने बाप के बेटे से
अपना बेटा अच्छा लगता है

पहले मैं माँ-बाप के साथ रहता था
अब माँ-बाप मेरे साथ रहते हैं
अब मेरा बेटा भी कमा रहा है
कल मुझे उसके साथ रहना पड़ेगा

और हक़ीक़त यही है दोस्तों
तमाचा मैंने मारा है
तमाचा मुझे खाना भी पड़ेगा… 🙏

Nice story……
There was a farmer who grew excellent quality corn. Every year he won the award for the best grown corn.🌽🌽🌽
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbours. “How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbours when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?” the reporter asked.

“Why sir,” said the farmer, “Didn’t you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbours grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbours grow good corn.”

So is with our lives… Those who want to live meaningfully and well must help enrich the lives of others, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy must help others find happiness, for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all…

-Call it power of collectivity…
-Call it a principle of success…
-Call it a law of life.
The fact is, none of us truly wins, until we all win!!

I also believe in the power of togetherness, it strengthens your capabilities, plants an inherent positive energy, etc…infact, DesiDime principles lies upon the same platform (except a few nomads trying to disintegrate)…Reminds me a bollywood song “sab ka bhala ho sabka sahi ho…”

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class.

That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on this plan. All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A….”(substituting grades for dollars – something closer to home and more readily understood by all).

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.

As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the
ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.

The second test average was a D! No one was happy.When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that communism would also ultimately failbecause when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away,no one will try or want to succeed.

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you’ll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

एक बहुत बड़ा सरोवर था। उसके तट पर मोर
रहता था, और वहीं पास एक
मोरनी भी रहती थी। एक दिन मोर
ने मोरनी से प्रस्ताव रखा कि- “हम
तुम विवाह कर लें,
तो कैसा अच्छा रहे?”
मोरनी ने पूछा- “तुम्हारे मित्र
कितने है ?”
मोर ने कहा उसका कोई मित्र
नहीं है।
तो मोरनी ने विवाह से इनकार कर
दिया।
मोर सोचने लगा सुखपूर्वक रहने के
लिए मित्र बनाना भी आवश्यक है।
उसने एक सिंह से.., एक कछुए से.., और
सिंह के लिए शिकार का पता लगाने
वाली टिटहरी से.., दोस्ती कर लीं।
जब उसने यह समाचार
मोरनी को सुनाया, तो वह तुरंत
विवाह के लिए तैयार हो गई। पेड़ पर
घोंसला बनाया और उसमें अंडे दिए, और
भी कितने ही पक्षी उस पेड़ पर रहते
थे।
एक दिन शिकारी आए। दिन भर
कहीं शिकार न मिला तो वे उसी पेड़
की छाया में ठहर गए और सोचने लगे,
पेड़ पर चढ़कर अंडे- बच्चों से भूख बुझाई
जाए।
मोर दंपत्ति को भारी चिंता हुई,
मोर मित्रों के पास सहायता के लिए
दौड़ा। बस फिर क्या था..,
टिटहरी ने जोर- जोर से
चिल्लाना शुरू किया। सिंह समझ गया,
कोई शिकार है। वह उसी पेड़ के नीचे
चला.., जहाँ शिकारी बैठे थे। इतने में
कछुआ भी पानी से निकलकर बाहर आ
गया।
सिंह से डरकर भागते हुए
शिकारियों ने कछुए को ले चलने
की बात सोची। जैसे ही हाथ
बढ़ाया कछुआ पानी में खिसक गया।
शिकारियों के पैर दलदल में फँस गए।
इतने में सिंह आ पहुँचा और उन्हें ठिकाने
लगा दिया।
मोरनी ने कहा- "मैंने विवाह से पूर्व
मित्रों की संख्या पूछी थी, सो बात
काम की निकली न, यदि मित्र न
होते, तो आज हम सबकी खैर न थी।”
मित्रता सभी रिश्तों में
अनोखा और आदर्श रिश्ता होता है।
और मित्र
किसी भी व्यक्ति की अनमोल
पूँजी होते है।
अगर गिलास दुध से भरा हुआ है तो आप उसमे और दुध
नहीं डाल
सकते । लेकिन आप उसमे शक्कर डाले । शक्कर अपनी
जगह
बना लेती है और अपना होने का अहसास दिलाती है
उसी प्रकार
अच्छे लोग हर किसी के दिल में अपनी जगह बना लेते
हैं….

very selfish reason to choose husband over parents..Parents are the most selfless beings, they simply devoted so many years of their life to nurture someone who would ultimately leave them in the end just because they are going to die soon. An orphan would only know the true value of parents

बंता: प्रीतो और मैं तलाक ले रहे है।

बंता: जब से हम लोगों ने शादी की है तब से प्रीतो मुझे बदलने की कोशिश में लगी हुई है, सबसे पहले उसने मुझे शराब पीने से रोका, फिर सिगरेट फिर इधर-उधर आवारा घूमने से। उसने मुझे सिखाया कि अच्छे कपड़े कैसे पहनते है, उसने मुझे संगीत और कला के प्रति रूचि आदि सब सिखाये और स्टॉक मार्केट में कैसे निवेश करना है ये सब भी उसी ने सिखाया।

बंता: अरे मैं नाराज नहीं हूँ, मैं अब काफी सुधर चुका हूँ तो अब वो मुझे अपने लायक नहीं लगती।

14 short stories worth reading, feeling and forwarding to all those dear to you..

1. Fall and Rise

Today, when I slipped on the wet tile floor a boy in a wheelchair caught me before I slammed my head on the ground. He said, “Believe it or not, that’s almost exactly how I injured my back 3 years ago .

2. A father’s advice

Today, my father told me, “Just go for it and give it a try! You don’t have to be a professional to build a successful product. Amateurs started Google and Apple. Professionals built the Titanic

3. The power of uniqueness.

Today, I asked my mentor – a very successful business man in his 70’s – what his top 3 tips are for success. He smiled and said, “Read something no one else is reading, think something no one else is thinking, and do something no one else is doing.

4. Looking Back

Today, I interviewed my grandmother for part of a research paper I’m working on for my Psychology class. When I asked her to define success in her own words, she said, “Success is when you look back at your life and the memories make you smile.

5. Try and U shall know

I am blind by birth. When I was 8 years old, I wanted to play baseball. I asked my father- “Dad, can I play baseball?” He said “You’ll never know until you try.” When I was a teenager, I asked him, – “Dad Can I become a surgeon?”. He replied “Son, you’ll never know until you try.” Today I am a Surgeon, just because I tried!

6. GOODNESS & GRATITUDE

Today, after a 72 hour shift at the fire station, a woman ran up to me at the grocery store and gave me a hug. When I tensed up, she realized I didn’t recognize her. She let go with tears of joy in her eyes and the most sincere smile and said, “On 9-11-2001, you carried me out of the World Trade Center.”

7. LOVE CONQUERS PAIN

Today, after I watched my dog get run over by a car, I sat on the side of the road holding him and crying. And just before he died, he licked the tears off my face.

8. A DOOR CLOSES TO OPEN ANOTHER

Today at 7AM, I woke up feeling ill, but decided I needed the money, so I went into work. At 3PM I got laid off. On my drive home I got a flat tire. When I went into the trunk for the spare, it was flat too. A man in a BMW pulled over, gave me a ride, we chatted, and then he offered me a job. I start tomorrow.

9. LOOKING BACK

Today, as my father, three brothers, and two sisters stood around my mother’s hospital bed, my mother uttered her last coherent words before she died. She simply said, “I feel so loved right now. We should have gotten together like this more often.”

10. AFFECTION

Today, I kissed my dad on the forehead as he passed away in a small hospital bed. About 5 seconds after he passed, I realized it was the first time I had given him a kiss since I was a little boy.

11. INNOCENCE

Today, in the cutest voice, my 8-year-old daughter asked me to start recycling. I chuckled and asked, “Why?” She replied, “So you can help me save the planet.” I chuckled again and asked, “And why do you want to save the planet?” “Because that’s where I keep all my stuff,” she said.

12. JOY

Today, when I witnessed a 27-year-old breast cancer patient laughing hysterically at her 2-year-old daughter’s antics, I suddenly realized that I need to stop complaining about my life and start celebrating it again.

13. KINDNESS

Today, a boy in a wheelchair saw me desperately struggling on crutches with my broken leg and offered to carry my backpack and books for me. He helped me all the way across campus to my class and as he was leaving he said, “I hope you feel better soon.”.

14. SHARING

Today, I was traveling in Kenya and I met a refugee from Zimbabwe. He said he hadn’t eaten anything in over 3 days and looked extremely skinny and unhealthy. Then my friend offered him the rest of the sandwich he was eating. The first thing the man said was, “We can share it.”

🙏 कहानी एक बार जरूर पड़े
🙏🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒

एक बार मैं अपने एक मित्र का तत्काल केटेगरी में पासपोर्ट बनवाने पासपोर्ट ऑफिस गया था।

लाइन में लग कर हमने पासपोर्ट का तत्काल फार्म लिया, फार्म भर लिया, काफी समय हो चुका था अब हमें पासपोर्ट की फीस जमा करनी थी।
लेकिन जैसे ही हमारा नंबर आया बाबू ने खिड़की बंद कर दी और कहा कि समय खत्म हो चुका है अब कल आइएगा।
🍃🌴
मैंने उससे मिन्नतें की, उससे कहा कि आज पूरा दिन हमने खर्च किया है और बस अब केवल फीस जमा कराने की बात रह गई है, कृपया फीस ले लीजिए।

बाबू बिगड़ गया।
कहने लगा, “आपने पूरा दिन खर्च कर दिया तो उसके लिए वो जिम्मेदार है क्या?
अरे सरकार ज्यादा लोगों को बहाल करे।
मैं तो सुबह से अपना काम ही कर रहा हूं।”
🍃🌴
खैर, मेरा मित्र बहुत मायूस हुआ और उसने कहा कि चलो अब कल आएंगे।
मैंने उसे रोका!

बाबू अपना थैला लेकर उठ चुका था। मैंने कुछ कहा नहीं, चुपचाप उसके-पीछे हो लिया। वो एक कैंटीन में गया, वहां उसने अपने थैले से लंच बॉक्स निकाला और धीरे-धीरे अकेला खाने लगा।
🍃🌴
मैं उसके सामने की बेंच पर जाकर बैठ गया। मैंने कहा कि तुम्हारे पास तो बहुत काम है, रोज बहुत से नए-नए लोगों से मिलते होगे?
वो कहने लगा कि हां मैं तो एक से एक बड़े अधिकारियों से मिलता !
मेरी कुर्सी के सामने बड़े-बड़े लोग इंतजार करते हैं।
🌴🍃
फिर मैंने उससे पूछा कि एक रोटी तुम्हारी प्लेट से मैं भी खा लूं?
उसने हाँ कहा।
मैंने एक रोटी उसकी प्लेट से उठा ली, और सब्जी के साथ खाने लगा।
मैंने उसके खाने की तारीफ की, और कहा कि तुम्हारी पत्नी बहुत ही स्वादिष्ट खाना पकाती है।
🍃🌴
मैंने उसे कहा तुम बहुत महत्वपूर्ण सीट पर बैठे हो। तो क्या तुम अपनी कुर्सी की इज्जत करते हो?

उसने मुझसे पूछा कि ऐसा कैसे कहा आपने?
🍃🌴
मैंने कहा कि जो काम दिया गया है उसकी इज्जत करते तो तुम इस तरह रुखे व्यवहार वाले नहीं होते।

देखो तुम्हारा कोई दोस्त भी नहीं है। तुम अकेले खाना खाते हो, अपनी कुर्सी पर भी मायूस होकर बैठे रहते हो, लोगों का होता हुआ काम पूरा करने की जगह अटकाने की कोशिश करते हो।
🍃🌴
बाहर गाँव से आ कर सुबह से परेशान हो रहे लोगों के अनुरोध करने पर कहते हो,
“सरकार से कहो कि ज्यादा लोगों को बहाल करे।”
अरे ज्यादा लोगों के बहाल होने से तो तुम्हारी अहमियत घट जाएगी? हो सकता है तुमसे ये काम ही ले लिया जाए।
🍃🌴
भगवान ने तुम्हें मौका दिया है रिश्ते बनाने के लिए।
लेकिन अपना दुर्भाग्य देखो, तुम इसका लाभ उठाने की जगह रिश्ते बिगाड़ रहे हो।
मेरा क्या है, कल आ जाउंगा या परसों आ जाउंगा।
🍃🌴
पर तुम्हारे पास तो मौका था किसी को अपना अहसानमंद बनाने का। तुम उससे चूक गए।

मैंने कहा कि पैसे तो बहुत कमा लोगे, लेकिन क्या करोगे पैसों का? अपना व्यवहार ठीक नहीं रखोगे तो तुम्हारे घर वाले भी तुमसे दुखी रहेंगे, यार दोस्त तो पहले से ही नहीं हे।
🌴🍃
मेरी बात सुन कर वो रुंआसा हो गया।
उसने कहा कि आपने बात सही कही है साहब। मैं अकेला हूं।
पत्नी झगड़ा कर मायके चली गई है।
बच्चे भी मुझे पसंद नहीं करते।
मां है, वो भी कुछ ज्यादा बात नहीं करती।
सुबह चार-पांच रोटी बना कर दे देती है, और मैं तन्हा खाना खाता हूं। रात में घर जाने का भी मन नहीं करता।
समझ में नहीं आता कि गड़बड़ी कहां है?
🍃🌴
मैंने हौले से कहा कि खुद को लोगों से जोड़ो। किसी की मदद कर सकते तो तो करो।
देखो मैं यहां अपने दोस्त के पासपोर्ट के लिए आया हूं।
मेरे पास तो पासपोर्ट है। मैंने दोस्त की खातिर तुम्हारी मिन्नतें कीं। निस्वार्थ भाव से। इसलिए मेरे पास दोस्त हैं, तुम्हारे पास नहीं हैं।
🍃🌴
वो उठा और उसने मुझसे कहा कि आप मेरी खिड़की पर पहुंचो। मैं आज ही फार्म जमा करुंगा, और उसने काम कर दिया।
फिर उसने मेरा फोन नंबर मांगा, मैंने दे दिया।

🍁बरसों बीत गए…

इस दिवाली पर एक फोन आया…
रविंद्र कुमार चौधरी बोल रहा हूं साहब, कई साल पहले आप हमारे पास अपने किसी दोस्त के पासपोर्ट के लिए आए थे, और आपने मेरे साथ रोटी भी खाई थी।
आपने कहा था कि पैसे की जगह रिश्ते बनाओ।
मुझे एकदम याद आ गया।
मैंने कहा हां जी चौधरी साहब कैसे हैं?
🍃🌴
उसने खुश होकर कहा, "साहब आप उस दिन चले गए, फिर मैं बहुत सोचता रहा।
मुझे लगा कि पैसे तो सचमुच बहुत लोग दे जाते हैं, लेकिन साथ खाना खाने वाला कोई नहीं मिलता।
मैं साहब अगले ही दिन पत्नी के मायके गया, बहुत मिन्नतें कर उसे घर लाया।
वो मान ही नहीं रही थी,
वो खाना खाने बैठी तो मैंने कहा कि साथ खिलाओगी?
वो हैरान थी। रोने लगी।
मेरे साथ चली आई।
बच्चे भी साथ चले आए।
🌴🍃
साहब,
अब मैं पैसे नहीं कमाता।
रिश्ते कमाता हूं।
जो आता है उसका काम कर देता हूं।
🍁
साहब अगले महीने बिटिया की शादी है।
आपको आना है।
बिटिया को आशीर्वाद देने।
रिश्ता जोड़ा है आपने।
🌴🍃
वो बोलता जा रहा था,
मैं सुनता जा रहा था। सोचा नहीं था कि सचमुच उसकी ज़िंदगी में भी पैसों पर रिश्ता इतना भारी पड़ेगा….😌🙏

My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct Answer..

When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, ‘My ears, Mommy..’

She said, ‘No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon..’

Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer..

So this time I told her, ‘Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes..’

She looked at me and told me, ‘You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind..’

Stumped again, I continued my quest for knowledge and over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, ‘No. But you are getting smarter every year, my child..’

Then one year, my grandfather died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. Even my father cried..

I remember that especially because it was only the second time I saw him cry..

My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to my Grandfather..

She asked me, ‘Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear??’

I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me..

She saw the confusion on my face and told me, ’This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived in your life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you were wrong and I have given you an example why..

But today is the day you need to learn this important lesson..’

She looked down at me as only a mother can. I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, ‘My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder..’

I asked, ‘Is it because it holds up my head??’

She replied, ‘No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will always have a shoulder to cry on when you need it..’

Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one. It is made for others and not for yourself. It is sympathetic to the pain of others..

People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did . But people will NEVER forget how you made them feel..

The origination of this message is unknown, but it brings a blessing to everyone who passes it on. Good friends are like stars. You don’t always see them, but you always know they are there for you….

BOOMERANG – WHAT WE GIVE TO THE WORLD COMES BACK TO US

A boy who did not know what an echo was , cried across a valley : “ Who is there ?” The echo answered who is there ?”

The child could not see who spoke those words . He asked , “ Who are you ?” Back came the words , “ Who are you ?”

The boy thought someone was trying to tease him . So he shouted : “ Won’t you stop it ?” Back came his own words , “Won’t you stop it ?”

Exasperated , the child yelled an insult which was flung back into his face .

Just then , his mother explained to him that no one was trying to tease him , but that it was only the echo of his own voice which came back to him .

The child cried out , “ I love you !” Back came the words , “ I love you !”

The child shouted , “ You are so good !” Immediately , the compliment was returned to him . And the child became happy.

What we give to this world comes back to us. Therefore, let us give love, kindness, help , sympathy and service and they will return to us, and we will stand strong as a towering lighthouse amidst the stormy waves of this world.
