    Thought of the Week


    There is a lie in Belief, an end in Friends, an if in Life. May Thats what
    Makes our lives uncertain, Lets find us in Trust - Unknown

    Murlidhar Devidas Amte was born on December 24, 1914 in Hingaighat, Wardha.
    He came to be known as Baba not because he is a saint or any such thing, but
    because his parents addressed him by that name.
    His Anandwan (forest of joy) is not a rehabilitation center where thousands of
    lepers and other disabled men find food and shelter but it is a school from where
    they learn lessons of self-help, self respect and selfless service. It is a school from
    where they learn lessons of co-operation and peaceful co-existence.
    "Work Builds; Charity Destroys" is his sublime philosophy. His is a philosophy in
    action. He would say, "Give them a Chance not Charity." And that's what he precisely did. He created for the
    leprosy-stricken and the disabled ample opportunities to let them stand on their own feet. His motivating
    approach towards leprosy has ever been, "You can live without fingers but not without self-respect." His
    Anandwan is a self-made, self-sustaining, modern, model village.
    Baba Amte also launched two Bharat Jodo -- Knit India -- Movements from Kashmir to Kanyakumari in 1985 and
    Assam and Gujarat in 1988. His aim was to establish peace and generate environmental awareness.

    An Englishman and an Indian are sitting next to each other on a long flight.
    The Englishman is thinking that Indians are so dumb that he could put one over them easy.
    So the Englishman asks if the Indian would like to play a fun game.
    The Indian is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks.
    The Englishman persists saying that the game is a lot of fun. "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer,
    you pay me only $5. Then you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500," he says.
    This catches the Indian's attention and to keep the Englishman quiet, he agrees to play the game.
    The Englishman asks the first question. 'What's the distance from the Earth to the Moon?'
    The Indian doesn't say a word, but reaches into his pocket, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the Englishman.
    Now it's the Indian's turn. He asks, 'What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?'
    The Englishman uses his laptop and searches all references he can find on the Net.
    He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows; all to no avail. After an hour of searching, he finally gives up.
    He wakes the Indian and hands him $500. The Indian pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep.
    The Englishman is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the Indian up and asks,
    'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?'
    The Indian reaches into his pocket, hands the Englishman $5 and goes back to sleep.

    Thats Indian.Sometimes Lazy but not dumb..:-)
