Soft Corner of Tejas Lakhani

એક ડોક્ટર હતા. હંમેશાં ખુશ રહે.

એક દિવસ એક મિત્રે તેમને સવાલ કર્યો કે
તું દરેક સંજોગોમાં આટલો ખુશ કેવી રીતે રહી શકે છે?

… … ડોક્ટરે જવાબ આપ્યો કે
મારી દવા ઉપરથી હું જિંદગી જીવતા શીખી છું! દવા ખાઈને નહીં પણ દવા પાછળનું તાત્પર્ય સમજીને!

ડોક્ટરે મતલબ સમજાવ્યો કે
આપણા મોઢામાં ચોકલેટ હોય તો આપણે ચગળ્યા રાખીએ છીએ અને દવાની કડવી ગોળી હોય ફટ દઈને ગળેથી નીચે ઉતારી દઈએ છીએ.

બસ આવું જ જિંદગીનું છે!

ખરાબ ઘટના હોય તેને ગળેથી નીચે ઉતારી નાખવાની અને મજા આવે એવું હોય એને ચગળ્યા રાખવાનું!

કહેવાય છે કે માતાનું નિર્મળ વહાલ અને પિતાનો અઢળક પ્રેમ એ બેય ભેગા થઈ આકાશમાં ચડે અને તેની વાદળી બંધાય, અને તે પછી જે લાગણીનો વરસાદ થાય -
તેનું નામ
- ‘દીકરી’

A naked drunken woman boards a cab in New York one night. The driver of the cab, a typical Indian, keeps staring at her, and doesn’t start the cab.

Woman: Haven’t you ever seen a naked woman before ???

Indian driver: cool down lady, I’m not staring at you..I am just wondering where have you kept the money to pay me??

Moral: This is what most American and European banks failed to do: Assessing repayment capacity before enjoying the exposure !!!

A man was polishing his car.
His 4 year old son scratched lines on car by stone
In anger man hit his son’s hand by hammer
Child lost all fingers.
Child asked: Dad, when will my fingers grow back?
Man was hurt and speechless
He went back and kicked the car and saw his child had written “LOVE U DAD”
Man committed suicide..
ANGER & LOVE have no limits!!
Always remember :
“THINGS ARE TO BE USED & PEOPLE ARE TO BE LOVED”
but unfortunately in this world
“PEOPLE ARE USED & THINGS ARE LOVED”
