ALL IN A BADAMI - Sindhi Tattler

…….I mean in a nutshell … by Vishnu Hathiramani vishnumanila@gmail.com

Got some interesting text/sms/bb messages.
I was introduced to a European couple. They told me they were BB partners, I thought Black Berry Partners. No, they clarified that they were BREAKFAST AND BED PARTNERS. They are together for Breakfast and in Bed, after those lunches, days and dinners will be there private lives. What is the world coming to?
A friend of mine told me that he is happy to know that there is [they found and it is confirmed] WATER and ICE in the MOON. Now he says we only need Whisky to bring to the Moon. Being Sindhi he must also bring Papar and Chili Pakoras.
May God bless you with TAXFREE MONEY; PAGE 3 FAME, GOOD HEALTH WITHOUT WORKSHOPS AND PEACE OF MIND WITHOUT GURUS.
They say that if your vision is for a year, plant wheat. If it is for 10 years, plant trees. But for a lifetime, plant friendship.
Health warning: All medicines have side effects. Expect Viagra it has front effect. Happy Diwali.

2 BABIES A MUST READ ARTICLE
A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said: "Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 yr. old and I'm pregnant again.
I don't want kids so close together." So the doctor said: 'Ok and what do you want me to do?'
She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.'
The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: "I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.'

She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request.
Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn’t matter which one it is.

There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms. The lady was horrified and said: 'No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child! 'I agree', the doctor replied. 'But you seemed to be ok with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution.

The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point. He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that's already been born and one that's still in the womb. The crime is the same!

Jai Shri Krishna... Thank you Maharaj Rajesh Setpalji for this wonderful article.
Happy Diwali to all.
Saw an excellent movie: Bobby Deol’s YEH WAADA RAHA. Awaiting BLUE.

TEACHINGS FROM ONDOY.

Recently, heavy rains and a typhoon hit the Philippines. Many homes of Sindhis were destroyed. Despite this, the Sindhi community including those who were affected, went into action and did lot of donations. And to those who send donations from abroad, thank you so much.

In the sphere of one’s life, we get to come across many words of wisdom, teachings from Buddha, Gandhi or someone else, education from our teachers and “Guros”/”Gurus” which makes us what we are today. And sometimes we learn from experiences, situations, and reading articles of Wilson Flores. No one expects to learn from Tsunamis or Earthquakes or Typhoons.

I did, from ONDOY or “Ketsana”, the Typhoon’s international code name.

Ondoy taught me one thing: if god takes away everything, he cannot take away one thing from you: Your future and your tomorrow.
I learned that expect the unexpected. No one could predict the destruction this has caused, and the effects of it.
Ondoy has taught me that what you could have done today, you should not have left it for tomorrow.
Bad times are not about punishment. They are about opportunity. Bad times are not about God abandoning you. They are about feeling the full extent of how much love there is available to sustain you. Bad times are not about imperfection they are about perfection.

They are opportunities for you to do God’s work on earth and to understand, on a much deeper level, how much love is available to you in any situation—good or bad, perfect or imperfect, rains or no rains.
Ondoy taught us to pray more and worry less. Remember we had left everything to God, our homes, our furniture and our treasures.
Community unity is vital, and was proven to be the key factor in saving many lives and homes.
Ondoy should serve a lesson to all: do not dispose waste in the streets or esteros [canals]. This was the cause why the floods could not recede.
Electing the right person is vital: National unity or policies must be followed first than the policy of your own city. I will vote carefully in 2010.
Ondoy did not destroy the present, it also has destroyed part of the future especially for those who have to rebuild.

It is not the typhoon disaster that you survived, but the fact that you conquered your ability, and proved strong.
Ondoy has taught us all that the government has a big responsibility. Let us support the government in their taxes and collections, so that at the time of calamity they could support us more during these difficult times.

The Government must learn from this: NDCC must be solidified and contact numbers must be centralized. It was difficult to look for numbers.
Ondoy has taught that the simple basic life facilities must be appreciated. We must learn to complain less. Be thankful you had a job to report to, a light to switch on, a cold glass of water to drink, coffee heat to your perfection. Did not Ondoy take it away from you temporary? Maybe for others it is permanent their job loss or their lives.
And finally thank God that for all things he has blessed us with.

Allow Your Own Inner Light to Guide You
There comes a time when you must stand alone.

HAPPY DIWALI TO ONE AND ALL.
