Let our nation be our God, let us worship our motherland and serve our countrymen. Awaken, arise, stop not until you have achieved your goal. Were it not for the blessings, inspiration and enlightenment I received from my mentor, I would be nothing. He shattered my pride and showed me that "where science ends, spirituality begins." I am Narendranath Dutt, born on January 12, 1863. My father was Shri Vishwanath Dutt and my mother was Bhuwaneshwaridevi. I was merely a stone. Gurudev Ramakrishna Paramhansa, like a touchstone, touched me, and when he did, a miracle happened. My father was an attorney at the Calcutta High Court. He was a scholar of English, Sanskrit and Persian. A generous and an ardent music lover. Our home was ever musical. My mother was the p

Under the sea [Ariel, listen to me] [The human world, it's a mess] [Life under the sea] [Is better than anything they got up there] The seaweed is always greener In somebody else's lake You dream about going up there But that is a big mistake Just look at the world around you Right here on the ocean floor Such wonderful things surround you What more is you lookin' for? Under the sea, under the sea Darlin' it's better down where it's wetter Take it from me. Up on the shore they work all day Out in the sun they slave away While we devoting full time to floating Under the sea Down here all the fish is happy As off through the waves they roll The fish on the land ain't happy They sad 'cause they in the bowl But fish in the bowl is lucky They in for a worser fate One day when the boss get hungry Guess who's gon'be on the plate Under the sea, under the sea Nobody beat us, fry us And eat us in fricassee We what the land folks loves to cook Under the sea

The Voice From the very beginning, the gal's family objected strongly on her dating this guy saying that it has got to do with family background, & that the gal would have to suffer for the rest of her life if she were to be with him. Due to family pressure, the couple quarreled very often. Though the gal loved the guy deeply, she always asked him, "How deep is your love for me?" As the guy was not good with words, this caused the gal to be very upset. With that & the pressure from her family, the gal would vent her anger on him. As for him.. he endured it in silence. After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated & decided to further his studies overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the gal, "I'm not very good with words. But all I know is that I love you. If you allow it, I will take care of you for the rest of my life. As for your family, I'll try my best to talk them round. Will you marry me?" The gal agreed, & with the guy'

God and Me One day I woke early in the morning to watch the sunrise. Ah, the beauty of God's creation is beyond description. As I watched, I praised God for His beautiful work. As I sat there the Lord brought His presence on me. He asked me, "Do you love Me?" I answered, "Of course God! You are my Lord and my Savior!" Then He asked, "If you were physically handicapped, would you still love me?" I was perplexed. I looked down upon my arms, legs, and the rest of my body and wondered how many things I wouldn't be able to do. The things that I took for granted. And I answered. "It would be tough, Lord, but I would still love You." Then the Lord said, "If you were blind, would you still love my creation?" How could I love something without being able to see it? Then I thought of all the blind people in the world and how many of them still loved God and His creation. So I answered, "It's hard to think of it, but I would still

Make a difference Walking along seashore, I saw a man walking a few paces ahead of me. Every few minutes, he would bend down, pick up something from the beach and throw it back into the sea. Curious, I asked him what he was doing. “Starfish”, he replied, “They are washed ashore by the tide. If I don’t throw them back, they will be baked dead by the sun.” “Are you crazy?” I said, “There are thousands of beaches around the world and millions of starfishes dying around. What difference does it make?” “Well,” said he, as he hurled another one into sea, “It does make a difference to this one.”

I met money one day, I said " you are just a piece of paper!?" money smiled and said, "Of course i am a piece of paper, BUT, I have not seen a DUST BIN in my life....!!" !!

Eloping is not an easy choice- Real-life love story The Story He (let’s call him Amit) had first seen Her (Nisha) in college, or they had seen each other, the details over the last 10 years have grown fuzzy. Amit remembers though that Nisha was wearing a salwar-kameez, nothing spectacular, except that she stood very straight and carried herself with a poise that usually befits someone older, not a 19-year-old. Neither of them was your textbook idea of good looking, yet both had an innate confidence. They were in the same class. Their first conversation was in the college canteen, or so Amit recalls. Nisha says it was when he asked for her notes. Conversations were never tough as they could argue on almost any subject since their thoughts differed on every subject. Three years of college flew by and Amit got his first job in another city. Nisha decided to pursue a specialized course in graphic designing. Another two years went by with emails, phone conversations and twice a year meeting

“Didi, when you cook chicken or mutton, please send some over as well… we love meat, but our grandmother does not allow it in the house,” piped in the children of a family one knows as we discussed favourite foods. Having lived around strict vegetarians - especially those who are vegetarians due to religious reasons - one knew that it could be a huge thing if the grandmother ever found out. One wondered if the family considered the grandmother’s beliefs to be archaic… Perhaps they read one’s expressions because the kids’ mother piped in, “My husband and kids eat meat because they enjoy it, my mother-in-law completely believes it’s a sin. I am opposed to the idea of killing a creature and so I’m a vegetarian by choice. As for my children, we wanted them to make their own choice. My mother-in-law believes in ‘untouchability’ too, which is also part of her religious beliefs… Do I allow my children to follow that?” That’s just one instance of age-old beliefs clashing with current-day choic

“What Have We Done Today?" We shall do much in the years to come, But what have we done today? We shall give out gold in a princely sum, But what did we give today? We shall lift the heart and dry the tear, We shall plant a hope in the place of fear, We shall speak the words of love and cheer, But what did we speak today? We shall be so kind in the after while, But what have we done today? We shall bring to each lonely life a smile, But what have we brought today? We shall give to truth a grander birth, And to steadfast faith a deeper worth, We shall feed the hungering souls of earth, But whom have we fed today? We shall reap such joys in the by and by, But what have we sown today? We shall build us mansions in the sky, But what have we built today? `Tis sweet in the idle dreams to bask; But here and now, do we our task? Yet, this is the thing our souls must ask, What have we done today? ?

The last Leaf Was thinking of old friends today And how many of them have slipped away. Moved, got married, or stopped calling so much, Found new friends, got busy, and just lost touch. It reminded me of falling leaves. Every autumn the leaves fall from the trees. Some stay longer than others, but eventually - Each leaf must fall, I'm told, Leaving the tree alone to face the cold. Why is it that in the time of utmost need The leaves would seek to leave the tree? And when we need our friends around We look and they can not be found? Of course these friendships come and go And in the spring new leaves will grow. But I prefer autumn friends of old With crackling laughter and colors bold. It saddens me now I must admit How somehow, someway, I did forget Laughing with old friends of mine During summers when the sun would shine. And then I thought of you. That one stubborn leaf that won't let go. That clings despite the winds that blow. Fighting ice, and snow, and winter's stings

Hold the hand of the person who loves you Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge. The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, 'Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river.' The little girl said, 'No, Dad. You hold my hand.' 'What's the difference?' Asked the puzzled father. 'There's a big difference,' replied the little girl. 'If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go.' In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond. So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours... This message is too short......but carries a lot of Feelings. .

Do it ur self... Dont Depend on others. the image says it all .

NAIL IN THE FENCE There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the ! day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you sa

Acres Of Diamonds One of the most interesting Americans who lived in the 19th century was a man by the name of Russell Herman Conwell. He was born in 1843 and lived until 1925. He was a lawyer for about fifteen years until he became a clergyman. One day, a young man went to him and told him he wanted a college education but couldn't swing it financially. Dr. Conwell decided, at that moment, what his aim in life was, besides being a man of cloth - that is. He decided to build a university for unfortunate, but deserving, students. He did have a challenge, however. He would need a few million dollars to build the university. For Dr. Conwell, and anyone with real purpose in life, nothing could stand in the way of his goal. Several years before this incident, Dr. Conwell was tremendously intrigued by a true story - with its ageless moral. The story was about a farmer who lived in Africa and through a visitor became tremendously excited about looking for diamonds. Diamonds were already d
