is India shining ? AN AMAZING REPORT FROM ABC

A MUST SEE for all Indophiles. This is a 10 minute long video which will certainly have you in awe about the wonder that's India, its tremendous potential, its seeming diversities, its strengths and weaknesses and above all its relentless march towards prosperity, all this despite embracing a democratic political system. Perhaps some of our major shortcomings like corruption, bureaucratic and political inadequacies, indiscipline and a few archaic social practices which have scant regard for human rights etc have been glossed over. But let there be no doubt that India is well on its way to its rightful place in the international arena, politically, economically and I would venture to add, even militarily!

Watch this amazing 10-minute video by ABC. You will be pleasantly surprised.

I up loaded this song twice and tried for the third time. the same problem is coming. I have sent a complaint to mediafire as follows:

I have up loaded 19 files in my folder Concert 118 - D.K. Pattammal - Toronto. but the file No 03 - Nee sreeraama padhama even though properly up loaded and have an URL, when trying to download the message " No servers are currently online with the requested file on it.

How true it is !

Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron , his wife Lisa , and their little boy Shane , were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.

I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.

As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.

The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker’s family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.

The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives.

Shane , who had been listening quietly, piped up, ''I know why.''

Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. It has changed the way I try to live.

He said,’ People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?''

The Six-year-old continued,’ Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long.''

Live simply.

Love generously.

Care deeply.

Speak kindly.

Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy.

Take naps.

Stretch before rising.

Run, romp, and play daily.

Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.

On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.

When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

Be loyal.

Never pretend to be something you're not.

If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.

ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY!

Dear Shri Hariharan,

You have quoted a touching incident. As the generations pass away, animals behave in a better way when compared to humans. We all are proud about the fact that science & industrial revolution contributed hugely to the growth of the world. At the same time, we are crying on the devastation it has caused over the years. May God give humans enough common sense to choose the right path.

Regards,

Vinod N N

Arya Manjeri said...: Dear sir, I am so touched and very happy reading this incident.... Really, animals do understand human emotions better than a human himself can. The points which said, what would we learn if a dog was our teacher is awesome and very very true..which every human should try at least once in his life time, I belive... Children are innocent and those words said by the chid has changed my whole perspective of what life is. Thankyou sir for uploading this article.. :)

Who should hold ?

A little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.

The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter,

'Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river.'

The little girl said, 'No, Dad. You hold my hand.'

'What's the difference?' Asked the puzzled father.

'There's a big difference,' replied the little girl.

'If I hold your hand and something happens to me,

chances are that I may let your hand go.

But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens,

you will never let my hand go.'

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond.
