A supreme court judge had been arrested for accepting bribery. His son bailed him out.
At home, the judge cried “I spent my whole life to earn respect and this thing has destroyed it in a sec.”
His six year old grandson who was standing beside him asked “Dada ji, Why did you work your whole life for a thing which could be destroyed in a second?”

Once there were two friends walking down a road. There came the third one. He asked” Hey hi, what’s up with you two?”
The first guy said “He is frustrating me with his philosophy.”
The second guy retorted “Hey I was just giving you some advice.”
The third guy turned to the second one and said “Let me tell you one thing. Never give somebody any advice unless they ask for it. They won’t understand its value and may call it nonsense.”
“Nonsense,”the second guy rejoined.

Ram was going through a psychological problem. He was unsure about his future because of his bad academics and poor economic condition. He thought he was depressed. So he decided to have a therapy session with a psychologist.
When he told this to his friend who was supposedly very rich, his friend said “You are a fool. Just live in the present. Don’t think about future. Flow with the river. Don’t seek and you will find your destiny. Life is now, here. It’s now or never. If you can’t live in now, you will never be able to live in the future. Enjoy your present to the maximum and forget about the worries of future.”
Suddenly his phone rang. The guy on the phone said “Hello sir, my name is john. Stock market crashed terribly in the morning after the news of bankruptcy of a big firm broke out. Your father has killed himself because he lost all his money and couldn’t bear the pressure. I am sorry. So when are you coming for the funeral?”
He dropped his phone and shouted to his friend at a distance-“Wait, I am also coming.”

A guy recently got promoted. Some of his friends were sitting on a table having some coffee. He entered into the hall and rushed past them.
One of the friends said” Look, now he can’t even say a hello. That’s what happens once you get promoted.”
The other one said “It’s all about money. Now he makes much more than us. So, this type of behavior is expected.”
“And did you see the expression on his face?” added the third one.
Suddenly their friend came back, took a chair and said “Sorry guys, I was burning down there and I had to pee.”

I was going home on train when I saw a typical bible in the hands of an old man, laughing looking out of the window. It was beautiful. The golden sunshine and the rays spurting from the shower like sluicing down the whole world and taking away the malevolence of the hearts. I felt like a child again who hadn’t bathed for a long time. There was this love I felt for the nature, for this world which I hadn’t felt for quite a while. The old man looked at me smiling again, sensing my perplexity and gave me his bible. I flipped through it, but no word could I find there. I looked at him bemused but his composed appearance forced me to carry on. And finally I saw something written on the last page. It said:We are what we are.
Human beings grow up, their perspective towards life changes. It ripens with time. But one thing remains same. Just stop thinking for once and have a look around. Go outside and feel the touch of the quivering breeze on your skin. It lightens the mood and you just feel something. And this is what it is all about. This feeling never changes. It remains same throughout your life. This sense of awareness, of being, it never changes. Time goes by but the touch, it remains same. You will grow up. And one day you will be like an old castle with nothing but a heart. But even then the touch will stir the strings of your heart in the same way as it did when you were a kid. Maybe this is what is called an illusion of time.
>Take care of your heart kyon ki dil to bachha hai ji :)
The Truth January 5, 2010

“Facts are helpful in solving a problem. DBMS provides you a tool to collect and store those facts. Each and every view you hear from someone is biased in some form.”
Our DBMS professor, H.O.Gupta said this in the first lec. The statement looks so simple yet so complicated if you think a little deep. It is open to so many interpretations, interpretations about the human nature. Human beings are funny creatures. Each and every human being on this earth is unique in his perceptions, the way he looks at different things. And the funny thing is they don’t want to change it unless you prove it wrong with a fact. It is funny because if you don’t see it as funny, you will feel irritated :p. So it is better to feel funny unless you or the other person have the necessary fact to prove one view wrong.
Sometimes I feel a zeal to collect all the facts surrounding this earth to prove my perceptions and I wonder if in this process I would find that some of mine were wrong too. Ah, how I wish to have a book having all the facts about almost everything!
DBMS, I believe then is a great tool, in fact human brain is a great DBMS, we just don’t wanna look into it because we just don’t wanna know the truth as it is said “Truth is bitter, especially when it is about you.”
Mahatma Gandhi once said ” Only the truth can set you free.”
I think I got the meaning now.
