Story - Bank robbers

During a recent robbery in Hong Kong, the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank: 
"Don't move. The money belongs to the Government. Your life belongs to you."

Everyone in the bank laid down quietly. 

This is called "Mind Changing Concept” Changing the conventional way of thinking.

When a lady lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her:
"Please be civilised! This is a robbery and not a rape!" 

This is called "Being Professional” 
Focus only on what you are trained to do! 

When the bank robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA trained) told the older robber (who has only completed Year 6 in primary school):
"Big brother, let's count how much we got." 

The older robber rebutted and said:
"You are very stupid. There is so much money it will take us a long time to count. Tonight, the TV news will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!" 

This is called "Experience” 
Nowadays, experience is more important than paper qualifications! 

After the robbers had left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. But the supervisor said to him: 
"Wait! Let us take out $10 million from the bank for ourselves and add it to the $70 million that we have previously embezzled from the bank”.

This is called "Swim with the tide” 
Converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage!

The supervisor says: "It will be good if there is a robbery every month."  

This is called "Changing priority” 
Personal Happiness is more important than your job”.

The next day, the TV news reported that $100 million was taken from the bank. The robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count $20 million. 

The robbers were very angry and complained:
"We risked our lives and only took $20 million. The bank manager took $80 million with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated than to be a thief!" 

This is called "Knowledge is worth as much as gold!"

Joke - Love letter Professional manner !

Dearest Girl, 

I am very happy to inform you that I have fallen in love with you since Monday, the 15th  of June . 

With reference to the meeting held between us on the 15th of june at 9.30 hours, I would like to present myself as a prospective lover. Our love affair would be on probation for a period of three months and depending on compatibility would be made permanent. 

Of course, upon completion of probation, there will be continuous on-the-relationship training and relationship appraisal schemes leading up to promotion from lover to spouse. 

The expenses incurred for coffee and entertainment would initially be shared equally between us.

Later, based on your performance, I might take up a larger share of the expenses.

However I am broad-minded enough, to be taken care of, on your expense account. 

I request you to kindly respond within 7 days of receiving this letter, failing which, this offer would be treated as cancelled  and I shall be considering some other girl. 

I would be happy, if you could forward this letter to your sister/friend, if you do not wish to take up this offer. 

Thanking you in anticipation. 


Yours sincerely,

Story -  Chanakya's Triple filter test

In ancient India, One day a person met the great Chanakya,  and said, "Do you know what I just heard about your friend?"
"Hold on a minute," Chanakya replied.
"Before telling me anything I'd like you to pass a little test.
It's called the Triple Filter Test."

"Triple filter?"

"That's right," Chanakya continued.
"Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say.
That's why I call it the triple filter test.
The first filter is Truth.
Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"
"No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and..."
"All right," said Chanakya.
"So you don't know if it's true or not.
Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness.
Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?"
"No, on the contrary..."
"So," Chankaya continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, but you're not certain it's true.
You may still pass the test though, because there's one filter left, the filter of Usefulness.

Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?"
"No, not really."
"Well," concluded chankaya, "if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?"

Use this triple filter each time you hear loose talk about any of your near and dear ones

Joke -  Intelligent professor

1st yr MBBS students were attending their 1st anatomy class. They all gathered around the table with real dead body. The professor started the class by telling them two important qualities as a doctor. The 1st is that never be disgusted about anything regarding the body e.g. he inserted his finger in the body's nose & on drawing back, put the finger in his own mouth & tasted it. Then he told the students to do the same. The students hesitated for several minutes, but eventually everyone inserted their fingers in the body's nose & tasted it. When everyone finished the professor looked at them & said :The most important 2nd quality is Observation. I inserted my middle finger but tasted the index finger. Now learn to pay attention

All students : shitttt !!
            
After d class they came to know that he was not professor he was an Engineer ...

Story - Confident life

A Businessman was deep in debt and could not see any way  out.
Creditors and Suppliers were demanding payments. He sat in the park, deep in thought, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy.
Suddenly an old man appeared before him and asked, "I can see that something is troubling you seriously".
After listening patiently the old man said, "I believe I can help you". He asked the man his name, wrote out a cheque and put it into his hands saying,
"Take this money, meet me here exactly one year from today... and you can pay me back at that time".
Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come.
The businessman saw in his hands a cheque for $ 500,000... signed by Warren Buffet, one of the richest men in the world.
"I can erase my worries instantly" he realized. But instead, the man decided to put the uncashed cheque in his safe, knowing that it might give him the strength to work out to save his business and to use this only in case of dire emergency.
With changed thinking he negotiated better deals, restructured his business and worked rigorously with full zeal and enthusiasm and got several big deals.
Within few months, he was out of debt and started making money once again.
Exactly one year later he returned to the park with the uncashed cheque.
As agreed, the old man appeared.
But just as the businessman was about to hand him back the cheque and share his success story, a nurse came running up and grabbed the old man. "I’m so glad I caught him" she cried. "I hope he hasn’t been bothering you much. He always escapes from the mental hospital and tells people that he is Warren Buffet", saying this she took the old man away.
The surprised man just stood there, stunned! All year long he had been dealing thinking that he had half a million dollars behind him...
Its not the money, real or imagined that turns our life around.
It is our Self-confidence that gives us the power to achieve anything and everything that we want.
Have a Confident life..!!

Story - Seven wonders of the world
A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present "Seven Wonders of the World." 

Though there were some disagreements, the following received the most votes:
1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student had not finished her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many."

The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help." 

The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the 'Seven Wonders of the World' are:
1. to see
2. to hear
3. to touch
4. to taste
5. to feel
6. to laugh
7. and to love

The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. 

The things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that we take for granted are truly wondrous!!

Thats why...
Live simply...
Walk humbly 
Love genuinely!!!

Ratan Tata's speech on Life and Work


One of the speeches by Ratan Tata at Symbiosis,Pune



Don't just have career or academic goals . Set goals to give you a balanced successful life. Balanced means ensuring your health , relationships , mental peace are all in good order . There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is no fun in driving car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions. Don't take life seriously . Life is not meant to be taken seriously , as we are really temporary here. We are like a prepaid card with limited validity . If we are lucky , we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up ? Its OK.. Bunk few classes , score low in couple of papers , take leave from work , fall in love, fight a little with your spouse .. Its OK. We are people , not programmed devices ...! 

Don't be too serious , Enjoy Life as it comes. 


Infosys Sudha Murthy "Guttonda Heluve" Book Review



Smt. Sudha Murthy , chairperson of Infosys - Bangalore's software tech giant is also a social worker and a author. She has written may books of which we recently reviewed "Guttonda Heluve"  - the kannada version which means "Tell you a secret" - a collection of very nice stories from her life experience. We felt - these stories not only help one shape their life in a good way but also help one to lead a happy life. Some stories are truly inspirational. In this post , we have mentioned a glimpse of the essence of the stories may inspire one to purchase this worthy book. You may buy the 200 page book from online stores www.sapnaonline.com as well and costs less than hundred rupees. 


Guttonda Heluve
Smt.Sudha Murthy
  • There is no age bar for learning . We should always be like a child and keep learning till we die.
  • One should always remember freedom fighters because of whom we are in a free India today and pay respects.
  • We should always respect time and maintain time discipline to progress in our lives.
  • Always identify and respect good thoughts in others and develop them. 
  • Always perform your work with your fellow team with utmost enthusiasm.
  • Develop a noble quality to educate others 
  • Always take care of your employees well being.
  • A teacher should always take the blame of the student's ignorance
  • One should work in own country and serve fellowmen well being instead of serving in other country
  • We should always learn from our juniors wherever if its rightful.
  • If one's sacrifice may save lives of hundreds of people , they should look forward to bear the pain and sacrifice.
  • Always respect your elder's sayings. Those words come from their life's good and bad experiences.
  • Knowledge cannot be snatched from anyone. Hence always try to gain knowledge. Its an asset which increases with sharing.
  • Donate books to a library in villages and rural libraries. It spreads knowledge.
  • A students life is like a desert , exams are like burning sun , when learning - the difficulties are like the hot sand, practice is like thirst for water, during a student's life you will be the only one leading a desert life. The more you collect the stones during the path , more the knowledge you gain.
  • Many times a person who has more money may fear for its loss and may not choose to become a entrepreneur. But a person who does not have money has no worries and works hard and becomes an entrepreneur.
  • Our opinion on a person depends on the way we visualize the person.
  • In your life, the best friend you have is you , also the worst enemy you have is you.
  • Give prominence to identify the interest of your children and give them the right freedom to achieve it.
  • Time has no mercy. There is no one in life who has beat time.
  • One should not think more times when donating
  • Richness depends on the way we think - for example - A glass is half filled or A glass has half less. 
  • We should always be thankful to the society which has brought us up. One day when we grow big, we should return our thanks by donating to it back.
  • Everyone makes mistakes. Nobody is perfect. We should always trust our fellow colleagues , praise them and live happily instead of always criticizing them for mistakes. Its the most of the time we spend with them.
  • In one's life - only a wife will support husband and husband support wife in case of difficultly. Both should lead their life with love and affection and forget any misunderstandings.One should not disclose the secret of others said to them.
  • It is better to free our hearts by discussing freely with others our thoughts without keep in mind and struggling.
  • Simplicity is life.
  • There should be satisfaction in life at some stage. It may hamper the progress but it cools down life's tiredness.
  • Honesty is the best policy and one should educate children at a earlier age.
  • Those heart are big who cares for others without caring for themselves
  • During failure , when everyone is blaming you - if you have a gentle smile , when everyone is suspecting their abilities - if you believe in yourself , if you move with a raised head in front of your kings and servants - this world is yours. Those are the real humans. Rest all are merely dead.
Hope it helps to many of us.

Sri RamaLingeshwara Cave Temple, Hulimavu , Bangalore

Temple Entrance
Our team recently visited Sri Ramalingeshwara Swamy Temple which is in Hulimavu , Bannerghatta road . This temple is one of the cave temples in Bangalore. 

Just behind the royal Meenakshi hypercity mall and 400 meters from the Bannerghatta Main road , This temple is little difficult to identify as it is submerged with the surrounding buildings such as BGS national school , Police station etc. One has to pass through the school gate to reach this temple. Although the history of this spot is not fully clear , it is believed to be existing for about 300-400 years where a saint used to meditate here. This is administered by the Adichunchanagiri trust . The last renovation tasks were carried out by Sri BalaGangadharanatha Swamiji.

Temple inside the cave
Cave view
Visitors meditating
When our team visited , there were some renovation tasks going on and the temple door was closed. However on request , the priest subordinates opened it for us and we could get a glimpse of the spot. On entering inside the temple , we observed rock stone all over which was extended till at-least half acre and a very calm place. One has to mind their head while traversing inside against the cave rock. We noticed a room inside the cave which had idols of Lord Shiva , Nandhi , Ganesha and goddess Devi. Traversing through the end points of the temple below the rocks was interesting.  We observed few visitors meditating at the spot, which makes it a very good spot for meditation as well.

Navagraha outside temple



Overall a good calm spot to visit with your friends and family. Once may plan to visit here during a visit to Bannerghatta National Park or Meenakshi temple. One of the recommended spots for those who are looking a calm spot for meditation.
