Whatta Wednesday - 4

This one was sent by the friend BVL as mentioned before she sends one on every Wednesday fuelling my Whatta wednesday series!!


Who are you a Carrot, Egg, and Coffee Bean??

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She didn’t  know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up, she was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as soon as one problem was solved, a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil; without saying a word.                   
 
In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, ' Tell me what you see.' 'Carrots, eggs, and coffee,' she replied.
Mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hardboiled egg. Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma.

The daughter then asked, 'What does it mean, mother?' Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently.
*      The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.

*      The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.

*      The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they  had changed the water.

'Which are you?' she asked her daughter. 'When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?  

Think of this: Which am I?
ü  Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?

ü  Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?

ü  Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you.
When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest  do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.

MORAL: The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

Hiegths of Optimism

Tuesday 22 November 2011

I am so gald you arrived at last!!

I waited for him for almost 2 months now, Each day when I returned home from Office I search for his presence, search for any clues if he already has come…

I wanted to have him from a very long time, I had dreamt about having him with me, A hot cup of Coffee or Chao with him would mean a world to me..

I have even asked hubby permission to have him, I also enquired many times about him near my house but could not find him anywhere..

Finally in August I was fed up of asking hubby hence went all along by myself and signed a contract (Yes you heard it right, a Contract to make it Legal) to have him for a Year. I know the truth, If I have him for a year, then hubby will realize how happy I am with him and allow me to have him PERMANENTLY.. I am sure hubby will want me to be HAPPY ultimately. Sorry I do not have any Guilt in it, I love him, yes I love him, I feel happy with him, I love the very presence of him around me all the time..

I was so happy to have him @ home, waited each day that he would come Today, Tomorrow, When will he come???
Sometimes even dreamt about how he and me would spend some time, Quality time with each other… I wanted to keep it a secret and not tell hubby about my contract but with a teeny weenie GUILT I finally told hubby and believe me there was no shame, no possessiveness in hubby and he was OK with it…. Sometimes I doubt if my hubby really LOVE me?? How can he share me with someone?? Would I share him with someone else whom he is so passionate enough?? Or may be he is OK with it just because he Loves me a lot!!

Shamelessly I called up DAD to ask if he has come there, the answer was No.. Dad was fed up with my frequent questioning and grumbled on day saying "You are mad, why did you call him home??? Your hubby also doesn’t say anything to you??" I felt sad, I lost all hopes that he would even come… Leaving my last bit of shame I even enquired FIL If he had come home when I was out, FIL enquired details about him and said ohhhh! He is a very nice guy, I have met him before, He is a good guy…

I was like - "I know he is good, but please don’t let him go when he comes next time… Please allow him into our house, Into my life…"

Yesterday @ Office I even googled about him secretly, I wanted to complain that he is still not come, was not even sure whom should I complain to??.. Hence I was super frustrated on how he couldn't value our 1 year signed contract.. Was wondering if it reached him or not. In the evening when hubby picked me from Bus stop we went home, hubby asked if we can go for a fav coffee shop (Not CCD but a small coffee shop next to the dosa camp near our home) I refused as I was in no mood, Coffee without him was no fun!!, my mind is so pre-occupied about him that I refuse many things these days!!…

Once I got out of the car I went to open the gates so that hubby can park his car inside…Instead of opening the gates wide my eyes fell upon him… he was there….He came to me finally.. I opened my arms enough to embrace him… Yes I am talking about RD, I Danced with joy and embraced him finally to my hearts content.. I told him not to leave me and go again… The contract is just in papers, I wanted him for my life.. Forever..

Are you curious to know who I am bragging about so much? Whom I was dying to have? Whom I have been dreaming about??It is RD.. Not RD Burman but Reader's Digest!! Yes I had subscribed him (ha ha I mean RD) for a Year in the month of August, I eagerly waited for the first copy to hit home in Early Oct but it never did, After a Long wait I received the first copy Yesterday, I was so thrilled to see it on the post box that hung on the gate of our home, I quickly took him to my hand and danced with joy!! Literally danced… later I unwrapped the wrapper around it to only realize it was the Issue for the Month of September!!!

RD was introduced to me by Mom.. Mom used to get one every month (mostly) and I picked it up form her, I used to love reading every page of it, be it the Wordpower, Laughter the best Medicine (Its now just called "Laughter"), Lifes like that, My Story Etc..

I used to sometime pick up one from the strands when me n hubby went to Landmark or Crosswords.. I have even hinted him just so he subscribes one for me.. Finally I was fed up and sometime in August this year I filled out the forms and got 2 subsriptions, one for myself and one for my Mom.. Mom received her copy Long back where I did not and was desperately waiting for it!! Finally my copy of RD arrived yesterday but it was not of Oct or Nov it was for the Month of September!! I felt it was kinda Anniversary gift for me!! 

P.S- Hubby hasnt given me a gift neither on my First B'day after marriage nor on our First Anniversary!!

Weekend Saga-2 Amma Mane!

I just realized that I have not been writing any blogs in the last few days..Oh No I am not busy @ all.. Just that the time flies by..

An empty mind is a devil's workshop is so damn true!! I am relatively free in the last few days and my mind is actually become a devil's workshop..

  • My To-do-List is ever increasing…with not many ticks against the tasks that are completed..
  • I have become a Lazy bum, instead of taking office bus in the mornings, I get up late and end up taking Public Volvo bus and reach late to office, due to which I leave late and again reach home late!! The entire day is over leaving behind a very grumpy mood!!
  • I crave for a nice holiday, especially after seeing someone put up a post/snaps in FB about their holiday/Picnic
  • I would collect all the recipes and keep, but will be in no mood to cook, as I do not like my Kitchen, I would love to have a Big European kitchen with stuff more organized
  • I would download a lot of movies but refuse to watch any
  • Would drool over and refuse to buy a new novel that I hv been wanting to buy
  • Would re-read the same CnH book and dream of owning the entire CnH series once promised by hubby on our Anniversary
  • Would love to do some art work but lack the energy
  • Would have the urge to blog but loose interest to do so immediately

All these r the effect of boredom, empty without work in office!! Some weeks back I had so much work and still wanted to do everything I just mentioned but due to lack of time I couldn't do it, Now that I have time I lack the passion or interest to do it...

Is there a solution to all this?? Yes there is… If hubby is reading this "I wanna Holiday" :) Nice way to demand one… :p
Ok here is my weekend Updates.. Mostly Amma Mane, oh believe me - visiting Amma mane makes me feel so relaxed (Mind body and Soul) that I actually feel fresh on the coming Monday.. :) 

Thursday 17th Nov - After office drove down to Tumkur to attend a friend's wedding Reception and returned home back by 11:30 PM
Hardly met any friends as they were visiting the next day, another Friend declared his marriage and informed it will be in Feb @ Mangalore.

Friday 18th Nov- Came late to office and left late too, was in full josh as we had planned to go for shopping in the weekend but hubby had an interview to attend on Saturday hence we planned to go to Mom's house after his interview
I was so happy as Hubby called up just before leaving office and informed me that we shall go to the much due "Pizza hut" for dinner today, when I enquired it will be late blah blah, hubby promised that he shall handle it and tell that we shall be late from office etc.. I was thrilled that we shall go for a Dinner Date and that too in my fav Pizza joint… With all hopes n dreams I travel back home in Office bus.

I got down n called hubby to know where has he reached  (generally when I am late he comes to pick me when he returns from Office) He informed me that something came up and he couldn't come soon and he will be late, Disappointed I walked towards the Bus Stop and was waiting for the BMTC bus.. The Auto walaas refused to come to my area and hence I took a bus to R T Nagar and from there again another bus to Sulthanpalya.. I was jammed between so many people and was suffocating.. The idea of walking 15 mins from there to home made me feel good as I wanted some fresh air!! Like a tortoise I was counting my steps… Purchased Potato chips n Sprite hoping that we can watch a movie in the night..

Hubby calls up and zooooomed in to pick me up and drop me home.. I was surprised to see him coz I expected he will be home only after I reach to which he said "Somehow I wanted to pick u and drop you home today, no matter it is just few meters away, I wanted to drop u today as I cancelled our dinner plans.." Felt nice and we took a drive back home..
Wanted to watch a movie @ home, but slept soon as we had to get up soon the next day

 Saturday 19th Nov- Relatively got up soon as hubby had a interview to attend, I prepared hot hot Upma and sent hubby, After breakfast cleaned home and washed a truck load of clothes and left for Bank to drop a cheque, gave clothes to Iron, my dress for repair and went to a supermarket to buy stuff

For Lunch along with Rice and Dal I prepared Corn Omelet and after Lunch I had bath and packed as we had decided to go to Mom's house while hubby took a nap..
Then left to mom's house by 5:00 and reached by 6:00 PM, Enroute we had packed nice Vada, bonda bajji to have with Evening Tea…

After Yummy tea and snacks mom insisted we go out for shopping or Dinner but we all refused to step out wanting to stay home and chill..
We watched a comedy movie "The Punjab something…" I completely forgot it was a Hinglish movie based on some Singing contest called "Desi Idol" similar to Indian Idol, it was a comedy movie and we all enjoyed it and went back to sleep..Zzzzzz

 Sunday 20th Nov - Got up late, Had nice tea with Madhur vada (Mayya's madhur vada) and mom was ready with one of the special Breakfasts, Oth shavige, it is basically vermicelli made of rice, completely home cooked, 2 types one which can be eaten with the ghas ghas kheer and the other like lemon rice she prepares the vermicelli…After yummy breakfast, we were lying on the sofa watching TV,, Finally we got ready to go to Meenakshi maal Bannergatta, had Meals @ Mc D and headed for shopping, we both shopped a lot and also took a dress for mom too!!

Booked a movie Ticket for "Tintin in 3D" for the 9:50 PM show, I was shocked as hubby nodded for the movie even though it was a light night show and we had to go home too in the night.. Visited my Maama's house actually first time after marriage and then returned home… I packed all our stuff as we were to leave to our home after the movie, we headed to Cinepolis and had a great time watching the Movie first time with Mom, dad n bro after our marriage.. After the movie we left home and reached at 11:30 PM, I unpacked all the stuff and hit the bed around 1:00 AM..

P.S- The Pizza treat which was planned is still Due and my taste buds are craving for the Pizza Hut garlic bread and the movie plan @ home is also unfulfilled yet..

If I die now,, My soul will BE UNSATISFIED and will wander to hv Garlic bread in PH and watch a Movie @ home with hubby… :P :D :)

Friday 11 November 2011

2 hrs of JUST me and my Time.. Wat else can I ask for...

What will I do if I get extra 2 hrs in a day??
Wowww!! Isn't it kool? Just thinking about it I get goosebumps..:p

For a person like me this is how my Typical weekday routine Looks like

6:00 AM - Get up and get ready to work
6:50 AM- In the Bus stop waiting for the Office Bus.
8:00 AM- Reach office and after breakfast start working
1:30 PM- Break for Lunch..then continue working..
5:15 PM - (Mostly) Catch Office bus to reach Home
7:00 PM- Reach Home after a approx 2 hrs journey in the bad bus, bad traffic in Bangalore.
7:15 PM- My Head would say hit the Gym, be fit, exercise but my stomach gives away and starts to crave for some Snacks..
And I much the unhealthy snacks defeating what my Head said..
8:00 PM- Start Cooking Dinner and serve the dinner @ 9:15- 9:30 PM
10:15 PM- Finished dinner and me n hubby come back to our home (we live downstairs and In Laws in the First floor)
10:30 PM - First time in the day I sit relaxed and refuse to clean the house or move my body… Coz I crave for REST
End up watching some serials in TV
11:15 PM - Look at the time and suddenly have the urge to go to bed so that I hv to get up soon tomo to repeat the same old routine!!

Saturday-
Oh I wanna either Join an existing "I Hate Saturday Club" or Start one… Confused???
Yes Saturday is the day when I Clean the house, Wash clothes, Stack up the Stuff needed for the week, Come up with my Fav To-Do-List and start ticking each task, Bank Work, Groceries, Repair Work, Cook something special coz it is a weekend and wat not… On the same holly day the Maid refuses to come so added more work to my already full bucket and squeeze in all these in the given 24 hrs… Ufffff I am already tired writing this…

Sunday
I really feel Sunday is the shortest day in the week.. Do you agree with me???
One day where I manage to get up lil late, Lil is again 8:30 AM, Some more pending work to be finished.. Always dream about doing something nice but something or the other comes in the middle and soon it will be stuck doing something that is necessary and that which I Hate to do… :'(
Soon it will be evening and the depression sinks in thinking Tomorrow is MONDAY….:(

BTW dont judge me.. I am not a boring person,, I try and squeeze to include fun stuff to do in my free time.. you can find those in my blogs..But this is how a Typical week goes by...

My Friends sometimes tease me saying- "You seem to be so busy now.. How will it be after u hv a baby??" I get freaked out even thinking about it!!
For a lady like me 2 extra hrs in a day is like a God gifted Booooon.. Wat would I do in this extra gifted 2 hrs??? No thinking @ all..


First and Foremost I would Ignore or rather completely forget all the regular daily chores and use the time completely to MYSELF…  Not just One I hv many PLANS, listed below are some of those..

PLAN A-
My first task would be to Pick up a Nice book, fill my plate with a Snack (doesn’t care if it is healthy or not) and relax myself on the Hammock we hv @ the back of our home and just hv a blast with myself… Reading novel is like unwinding my day.. Getting into my own imaginations of the character of the scene in my mind..and get completely submerged into my own imagineland like a dreamland…This is one of the reasons I hv never liked a movie based on Novels.. Cos there is no boundaries to my imaginations...

PLAN B-
Pick up the colors and the Canvas which is thrown in some corner of the house to be used when I am free… I would start doing something arty, crafty, be it painting, coloring, drawing etc… This I hv found in the past gives you a very nice feeling... (Oh BTW I am not an artist, but who cares? I am my own artist..)

There have been occasions where me n hubby hv indulged into this habit and hv come up with some good stuff.. Ex we hv done a flower pot and sticked it to the wall and painted the Diya's ourselves this time for Diwali, You can find it here and here

PLAN C-
Watch my Fav "F.R.I.E.N.D.S" series……………
This is the most relaxing Exercise I hv found in the recent times… No matter how many times I might hv watched the same series. I still LOVE watching them again and again…

PLAN D -
Given the right mood of the day I would love to pick up something from the cook book or on the Net to prepare a special dish, especially to hubby as he loves eating special home cooked food!! And I would love to cook for him and receive all the appreciation from him.. I have done it and you can witness here

PLAN E-
Depending on the weather, I would love to take a ride in my Activa and indulge in shopping… Let me be clear, shopping after marriage also means stacking the kitchen with groceries and some necessary items..This shopping will EXCLUDE all of those.. My shopping will NOT have the To-Do-List.. It is like picking up anything I find in Random.. I will listen to my heart and not even to my mind which keeps reminding about the cost!! :)
I always keep Imagining about having a Bawl of a time where in I can shop to my wish and hv to pay nothing at all..
Infact in my childhood I used to tell mom- "Ma it should be something like this.. All the items available to buy should just cost Rs 1/-"

PLAN F-

Wanna spend some Quality time with Hubby, Yes in this busy IT world we hardly get time to each other,, so I would use this time to start of irritating him by indulging with completely nonsense discussions with hubby or irritate him and have a nice time with him like I have listed the Nauk Jaunk between us in the Posts here and here
We have had a great time with our own baby..Snowy like you see here in my post

Leave it me and I keep using all the alphabets available.. Like the recent quote I read somewhere.. "Don’t worry if PLAN A din't work, the alphabet has 25 more letters, so stay cool"

The Main reason to have written this post is for the Surf Excel Matic GetSmart Contest" by Indiblogger which asked the fellow bloggers to write a post on

"If you had two extra hours in a day, how would you spend it?
 So here I am with my first ever post written for a Contest, Here I present completely my views on how I would spend my extra 2 hrs of the day... If you like it write back to me,, I would love to receive your comments.. Wish we Luck!!

Whatta Wednesday- 2


Things are not always what they seem to be

Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family.
The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room.
Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement.

As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, 'Things aren't always what they seem.'
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest.

When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field.
The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen? The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused.
The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die.
'Things aren't always what they seem,' the older angel replied.

'When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall.. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn't find it.' 'Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead.
Moral: Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don't turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every outcome is always to your advantage. You just might not know it until sometime later...

Random Rumblings...Rant..Rant..Rant..

Watched Bol - A very Bold movie indeed! Liked the first Pakistani Movie, I feel many such movies should come up and inspire the people.. The one lingering question it focused on was - "Agar maarna ek zurm hai, toh paida karna zurm kyun nahin hai??"

Visited Amma Mane on Friday and stayed overnight (without hubby) before Mom and Dad left to South India Trip... Felt very relaxed...Chatting constantly, browsing through the channels, ate and slept well..
Got facials done from Mom's house and felt more relaxed!!

Hubby came to Mom's house to pick me..This was kind of unplanned n I like it!!
First time we visited a construction site, a famous builder M and his latest project, the project was mind blowing and too tempting an offer!! but the cost of the project was exuberantly out of budget for us :(

Sleeping Beauty!
First time in my life after marriage I almost slept an entire day!!! Thanks to the Holiday and my Periods.. Had a very relaxing day, slept to glory!! Had breakfast at 11:00 and Lunch @ 5:00 pm.Hubby was WFH and this made it much easier for me to relax the entire day!!

Water water!!
Yeah I cant believe myself but true that I have started drinking more water!!!!
Thanks to Hubby for installing an app in my Phone that reminds me to drink water time to time.. :p

Plans cancelled ;(
Had made up a nice plan to shop in Commercials with frnd G and later watch a movie..all got cancelled due to my health (actually periods) Also there was no good movie running in the theatres that was worth a watch.

Novel
Currentlyy reading Nicholas Spark's - Nights in Rodanthe after his "At first Sight" and am enjoying it thoroughly.. with a novel in hand I dont grumble about the traffic while travelling and also get a good nights sleep reading novels just b4 bed

We us Ours
Its been a very Long time since hubby and me hv gone out somewhere, shopping is an OLD story.. I so much wanted to celebrate my 7 yrs in IT + Our 9 yr Anniv (the special one) + his new job by just one Pizza party but this is just not happening... too many things to tackle @ home.. This has rather created too much tensions, worry etc and leads to fights between us.. Really looking forward to spend some quality time with hubby..

Sharing helps
Surprised but true that hubby took me to park on a Monday evening by himself, no push from my side.. I was looking frwd to have nice romantic time between us.. but for my surprise he started talking continuously... about his current work, his future Plans his growth etc... I was very glad that he discussed it with me and I was felt wanted!! I have also promised him to standby his decisions no matter how risky they seemed to be..  like Saath Nibhana saathiya...

Nauk Jaunk

Hubby tells me this - "You are the only one who scolds me soooooooo much, I hv never been scolded by anoyone in my life as much as you, if it was anybody other than you, I wouldnt hv kept quite.. but with you I let you be...Infact I like it when you scold me.."

Cho chweet isnt it... But Grrrrrrrr coz he makes me SCOLD him most of the time... oh sorry evey time.. But when he siad the above sentence I had a smile on my face.. :)

Another Grrrrrrrr Moment

Hubby is gone to attend an interview today morning at 9:30 form then till now which is 3:40 PM no reply to my Ocean of SMS's and not replying my calls...Uffff I think I will not call 911.. :p

Well just got a reply after the ocean of Sms that too 4 words,,,"Finished interview just now"
Now I shall retire to call him and pour him with questuions..

Whatta Wednesday- 1


Whatta Wednesday will be collection of Quotes like Inspirational/emotional/Love/Humorous etc that I might have read somewhere, heard somewhere, seensomewhere, either in FB or in mails or in SMS etc...
Here is the first of Whatta Wednesday Series..I shall also Quote the Courtesy that I have picked it up from..





Power of Will
An old man lived in a village. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was a difficult task. His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and explained his situation:-
Dear Son,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my potato garden this year. I miss doing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time. I’m getting too old to dig up the entire garden plot.
If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren’t in prison.
Love You son,
Dad.”
Shortly, the old man received this telegram:
For Heaven’s sake, Dad, don’t dig up the garden!!
That’s where I buried the GUNS!!
The next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns. Confused old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and asked him what to do next.
His son’s reply was:
“Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad.. It’s the best I could do for you from here.”
Moral: No matter where you are in the world, if you have decided to do something deep inside your heart you can do it. It is the thought that matters not where you are or where the person is.”

Wait for your Turn


Once there was a small kid on earth. One fine day it came to know that GOD is distributing apples to humans in his place at heaven. The kid was so happy to receive that news and it went with lot of enjoyment to heaven to get the apple from god and this kid also joined in that queue. While it was standing it was fully excited and thrilled for the fact that it is going to receive in person from god's hands. Its turn too came and the kid showed it's both hands to receive apple. God gave the apple but unfortunately the tiny hands couldn't hold that big apple. Apple fell down and got wasted in mud. The kid got so disappointed. The ministers near the god informed that if the kid likes to have an apple from god again then it has to again follow the queue.
Having waited for so long the kid didn't want to return back to earth with empty hands so it decided to wait again in the queue. This time the queue has become even longer than the previous one. While waiting in queue, the kid could see lot of people  who returns back with apple in hands and utmost satisfaction on their faces. The kid was so much disappointed and thought why me alone didn't get it. What is the sin I did that I alone should suffer like this. Now the kid was so scared that it should not miss the apple again.
Again his turn came and god gave the apple to the kid's hands after giving the apple god spoke to the kid, "My dear child, last time after giving you the apple only I noticed the apple I gave to you was a rotten apple and that's why I made that to fell down from your hands. Having given you the rotten apple I felt bad for you and I wanted to give you the best apple in the farm and that time the best apple in the farm was growing and that's why I made you to wait such a long time in the queue. Here it is. Now the apple that you have in hand is 'The Best' apple in the farm till to date. Enjoy."
Moral: Sometimes it happens even after putting 100% dedication and commitment things might get delayed or things may go wrong. Believe that god has something great for us and that’s why this has happened.

Courtesy- I had read this somewhere sometime back and double liked it when I recieved in a mail from a Friend "VLB".
