Lines on Satyamev Jayate!

चिंगारी इतनी भड़काओ की वह आग बन जाये,
जो एक एक बूँद मिले तो सैलाब बन जाए !

जुल्म की दीवार, अकेले मुश्किल है तोडनी
मुट्ठियाँ अगर मिल जाये तो फौलाद बन जाये !

अंधेरों की हुकूमत अब तोडनी ही पड़ेगी,
अब हर चिराग उठे, और आफताब बन जाये !

अकेला चला है वो, आओ दुआ दें, काफिला बना दें,
"आमिर" की कोशिश, सर उठा के इंक़लाब बन जाये !!

“Why We Shout In Anger”

“Why We Shout In Anger” A Hindu saint who was visiting river Ganges to take bath found a group of family members on the banks, shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his disciples smiled ‘n asked. ‘Why do people shout in anger shout at each other?’ Disciples thought for a while, one of them said, ‘Because we lose our calm, we shout.’ ‘But, why should you shout when the other person is just next to you? You can as well tell him what you have to say in a soft manner.’ asked the saint Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the other disciples.

Finally the saint explained, . ‘When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other to cover that great distance.

What happens when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly, Because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is either nonexistent or very small…’ The saint continued, ‘When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak, only whisper ‘n they get even closer to each other in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other ‘n that’s all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.’

He looked at his disciples ‘n said. ‘So when you argue do not let your hearts get distant, Do not say words that distance each other more, Or else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.’

मां- बेटी तेरा ऑटो कुछ ज्यादा ही खराब हो गया लगता है, घर ले आ, पापा ठोक-ठाक कर ठीक कर देंगे।

बेटीः अरे मां मैं सच में ऑटो में ही हूं।

मां- जानती हूं बेटी, तेरी उम्र में मैं भी कई ऑटो में बैठी हूं..।।

TEST - “There Is a Reason for Everything”

Our Father tests us often
With suffering and with sorrow;
He tests us not to punish us,
But to help us meet tomorrow.

For growing trees are strengthened
When they withstand the storm;
And the sharp cut of a chisel
Gives the marble grace and form....

So whenever we are troubled
And when everything goes wrong,
It is just God working in us
To make our spirits strong.

- The poet Helen Steiner Rice

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE

Let's say it's 6.15pm and you're going home (alone of course), After an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far. You have been rained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself..!!

NOW HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE..
Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously.
A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.

A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating.
The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.

Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!

I will say If everyone who gets this broadcast sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save at least one life.
