NICE POEM FROM SUNDAY HERALD.

The Good and the Bad at the moment!


GOOD:God’s gift to me

G AMRUTHA


I prayed endlessly day and night
God appeared one fine morning
when the sun shone bright.
He asked me what do I want
I was speechless, I went into raptures.
He gave me two boxes.

I have in my hands two boxes
Which God gave me to hold.
He said “put all your sorrows in the black box,
And all your joys in the gold.”
I heeded His words, and in the two boxes,
Both my joys and sorrows I stored.
But though the gold became heavier each day,
The black was as light as before.
with curiosity, I opened the black,
I wanted to find out why,
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole.

Which my sorrows had fallen out by
I showed the hole to God and mused,
“I wonder where my sorrows could be...?”
He smiled a gentle smile and said
“My child, they are all here with me”
I asked God, why he gave me the boxes,
Why the gold and the black with a hole?
“My child, the gold is for you to count your
Blessings, the black is for you to let go”

Yes, His kindness is boundless.
It is like a vast ocean of nectar.
His ways are myriad, countless.
He is a friend in all our endeavours.
I realised.

The Big Bang Theory.

He is robbed including his pants. He can’t fix himself to change in life. He calls Leonard. — Girmit (^‿^) (@cgBalu)   🚆 → 🚉 → 🚆 → 🚉 A funny moment from  The Big Bang Theory  (Season 8, Episode 1). Sheldon decides to tour American cities by train. New York. Arizona. A few others. But there is a Sheldon twist. He never actually goes into the cities. He remains inside trains and railway stations, orbiting them like a cautious satellite. Then disaster strikes. He is robbed. Everything goes. Even his pants. And Sheldon being Sheldon, he cannot recalibrate his personality. So he does the only logical thing in his universe: he calls Leonard. ❤😎

The Good and the Bad at the moment! GOOD:Google adsense has come to my blog. So more blogs today. Mobike - oil changed. New battery also. Answer to the quiz referred in the posting Evening posting is: The third. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are dead. Here is the second quiz: A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be? Answer definitely in the next posting. If only I could write so as to attract more comments the blogging affair would be fantastic.

Gunshot Piercing

Chill Gunshot Piercing It began, as all life-altering decisions do, with someone else’s fashion. My younger cousin walked in wearing purple ear studs—confident, casual, as if he had always been this stylish creature. I looked at him. He looked at me. The studs looked back at me and whispered, “Upgrade pending…” My wife sealed the matter in one line: “You will look good.” That was it. Proposal passed. No further discussion. A few days later, we went to the jeweller’s shop to buy a chain for our daughter. A normal, respectable outing. But destiny had other plans… and a small device that makes a sound like a stapler with attitude. My five-year-old grandson came along, purely for moral support—his own, not mine. The jeweller inspected my ears like an archaeologist discovering ancient ruins. “Ah! Old holes are there,” he declared, as if announcing hidden treasure. My wife took charge. She marked the exact spot on my earlobes with the seriousness of a surgeon and the confidence of ...
