Take the Numbers 6, 7, 8, 9 using operators addition, minus, multiplication and divison, you have to get 133. No operators or numbers should be used more than once.

How true it is we human beings are social and so frustrating it is not to have anyone nearby to share or care for anything...Child, Parents, Friends,Relatives....to name a few...

I met money one day. I said, "You are just a piece of paper."

Money smiled and said, "Of course I'm a piece of paper, but I haven't seen a dustbin yet, in my life".

The study indicates women who turn to other women for friendship lower the risk of early death, they also heal faster in times of bereavement or other trauma. Woman-to-woman friendship bonding or 'hanging out with friends' serve the purpose of filling the emotional gaps. Besides, says the study published in Psychological review when women are under stress, the hormone oxytocin is released as part of the response to stress.

This encourages them to seek the company of other women, and when they are engaged, more oxytocin is released, which counters stress and has a calming effect, it says. "Women are more loyal and appreciative in their relationship so they possess a tendency to be bonded with each other," says Dr Aruna Broota, a well known psychiatrist and professor, University of Delhi.

She says the relationship between women will be more deep and intense than that of between women and men because they are always ready to understand and value each other.

Man folks take note of these................

A lecturer was giving a lecture to his student on stress management.

He raised a glass of water and asked the audience, "How heavy do you
think this glass of water is?"

The students' answers ranged from 20g to 500gm.

"It does not matter on the absolute weight. It depends on how long
you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is Ok.

If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I
hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance.

It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier
it becomes."

"If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will not
be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier."

"What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while
before holding it up again."

We have to put down the burden periodically, so that we can be
refreshed and are able to carry on.

So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work
down. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.

Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down
for a moment if you can. Pick it up again later when you have
rested....

Rest and relax.

Life is short, enjoy it!!

Heard, my mobile was crying trying to get my attention may be tired of getting charged in the charger. Oh God is it going to explode? I saw a new number in the missed call. Who was this??? Thought may be some wrong call, but I recalled the same number was ringing while I was driving in the traffic. I tried calling back, it was switched off. I sent a SMS," Hi, sorry I could not pick you, please SMS me who you are?"

Morning I woke up as usual at 8 and found I had a massage. "Hi this is Reema, remember me? I guess you did so!!! Do call me once you wake up." I called her up and found she is never changed in these 15 years, bubbly, vibrating and warm in talking. She had come to my town to carry out a research programme. She works for an NGO. She got my mobile number through an advertisement in the local news paper. May be or may not be me, She wanted to take a chance. I invited her to my hut that evening. Looking at her I was a bit nervous, what to talk to a girl friend meeting after so many years, do not know how she would react now to my scrap jokes. Especially, girls, they change faster. I have never been a serious person. I was trying to balance all in all. She asked my how is my family life? I was looking blank. What to say? "Oh yeah fine, going on". Where is she? "Oh! She, she stays with her parents." How about kids? "Kids? Yeah only one daughter and she is in a boarding school at Panchkani."

I asked her. "What about you?" "Yeah, I got married had three kids, two sons and a daughter. About him, he is software professional. too busy in his various projects, currently in New Jersey." What about your kids? "Yeah all are grown up and left them in a boarding school near Bangalore." I could not control my scrap joke, oh so we both are married bachelors!!! We both had grown up a lot in these years.. Got older.but still we both bring cheers to anything we talk. We tried to catch up some glimpse of our past.

"When we met each other in our college days, I used to be very shy, it was she who had approached me first hearing I was the topper in the class. We started getting friendly. We used to discuss everything with each other without having any secret or shy. Three years passed so fast in the college we did not know till we separated. Our friendship was more than a friendship with lots of care and respect for each other. We wished, we could have been together life long. She left for Delhi and I left for Chennai. Then we never met no phones, no letter, no contact."

By the time it was 8, we left for having some dinner in the near by Punjabi dhaba. Both of us have the same taste except that still she loves lots onion with tandoori chicken, I don't. Food was not our priority. We were too nostalgic of our college days and trying to recall one-one day of those 3 years we were together.

On the way back I dropped her in the hotel where she was staying. Puffing off my cigar, I drove down to my cottage humming an old song,

"O hansini meri hansini, kahan ud chali

Mere armaanon ke pankh lagaake kahan ud chali

Aaja meri saanson mein mahek raha re tera gajra

Aaja meri raaton mein lahek raha re tera kajra

Ho, aaja meri saanson mein mahek raha re tera gajra

Ho, aaja meri raaton mein lahek raha re tera kajra

O hansini meri hansini, kahan ud chali

Mere armaanon ke pankh lagaake kahan ud chali.."

Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some money.

The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.

The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.

"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled.

"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied. "Daddy, I have 1000 rupees now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."

It's just a short reminder to all of us working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.
