Patient is Patient

 Patient is Patient *************** The patient, lying next to my bed, had met with a severe accident and was hospitalized. He had multiple fractures, broken teeth, injuries on face and several other parts of body. Was not able to move, not able to sleep properly. In spite of his plight, he had no grudging at all. Doctor came on round and inquired about his condition. He asked him whether he has any other problem. The patient nodded his head. He said to Dr.,"My only problem is that whenever, I try to laugh heartily, my stitches don't allow me to do so". Rajni Chhabra

Every Problem has a Solution

Near the parking area, a half clad, young boy of about eight years was selling balloons. Multi-colored balloons seemed very tempting. And the way, in which that little boy was inviting all to buy these, seemed still more imploring. My grandson insisted on buying two big balloons. I asked him, " Is one balloon not enough for you? Why are you insisting upon two?'' The answer that he gave, simply left me dumb-founded. He said, "Granny, of course, I need only one for myself. But, I am insisting on buying two as I will love to gift the other one to this little balloon seller. He is selling balloons whole day, to render support to his family.

NEVER SAY NO TO LIFE

  NEVER SAY NO TO LIFE Never say "No" to life Whether you are happy  Or unhappy with your life. Life always gives you  Opportunities for betterment So, in stead of grudging  Endeavour for contentment Life will give you chance  To bloom like  Blossom in cactus If you have faith in Yourself and the Supreme Creator.
