Remember Shakespere's Seven Ages of Man? From Child hood ending with second childhood sans teeth, sans eyes,
sans taste and sans everything. That's LIFE. God bless.
The Teacher……
The maths teacher wrote '1000' on the board and asked
The student who was constantly disturbing the class,
'How much is this ?"
Confident, yet embarrassed by the simplicity of the question, the boy replied, "One thousand".
Now the teacher added a zero to the right and pointing at '10000' asked, "How much is this?" "Ten thousand" came the prompt reply.
Now the teacher added another zero, but this time to the left of '1' and pointing at '010000' again enquired, "How much now?"
"The same…. Ten thousand", the boy replied.
The teacher smiled, winked and then said, "When an insignificant number follows a significant number, it gains value.
When the same insignificant number tries to go ahead of the significant number then it has no value.
So is the relationship between a teacher and a student. When a student follows the teacher, he gains value. The other way round… well, I don't want to state the obvious.
The greatness of a coach is to show the player how capable he is.
The greatness of a player is to live up to the capability he has been shown.

Mantra Vibrations ( Quotes of Paramacharya)
The sound of some mantras has greater value than their meaning. Their syllables chanted in a particular manner create a special energy, but their meaning has no special significance. Take the mantra recited to cure a man stung by a scorpion. The words, the syllables, constituting the mantra have no special meaning. Indeed they say the meaning is not to be told. But by chanting, the mantra vibrations are caused in space and one stung by a scorpion will be cured. P 86.
Mantra Miracle
In Tiruvanaikka (near Tirucirapalli), people have seen with their own eyes a tree bare of foliage putting forth green shoots under the spell of the mantras. The 'sthala vriksha' here — the tree sacred to a temple or a place — is the white Jambu tree. That is why the place is called Jambukesvaram (Tiruanaikka). Once the tree was dead except for one branch or so. Then the Chettiars – the trustees of the temple – had an Ekadasa Rudra Abhiseka conducted for it. And, behold, by the power of the mantras, the tree put forth fresh leaves. P 87

You can respect and understand the opinions of others without agreeing or giving in or allowing them to take advantage of you.
Often you can learn much more from someone who disagrees with you than you can from those with whom you agree.
No one sees the world exactly the same way you see it. You have your own unique perspective, and so does every other person.
Don't let your disagreements with others become an excuse for hatred or disrespect.
Instead, sincerely seek to learn from and to understand those perspectives that differ with your own.

This Bengaluru Man Feeds The Poor And Needy Using Food That Would Otherwise Be Wasted :- As Saroja, a migrant labourer from Raichur, is about to get on with cooking, a visitor lands at the site. He has in his hand whatever they have been craving for--vegetable pulao, plain rice, sambar and payasam--a three-course meal, sufficient to feed all hungry souls.
On Thursday, while he was giving food to Saroja, he got a call from NR Rajendra Harsha, manager, Sankalp Banquet Hall in Banashankari informing him about excess food at an event that could feed at least 150 people.
Like Rajendra, Yuvaraj has built a network of people who alert him whenever there's excess food. "I always felt that food should never be cooked in large quantities and wasted. I started this initiative to create awareness about judicious cooking among citizens. It's been about two years and today , the purpose has changed and instead of cutting it short at source, many people choose to offer it to labourers through me," said Yuvaraj.
"We cater food at weddings, engagements and other events in the city so we know how painful it is to see our hard work goes waste. Now even our customers are happy that food is not being wasted," Manjoy PV from GR Celebration said.
