Nice Story

A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them.

She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."


"Is the man of the house home?", they asked.

"No", she replied. "He's out."

"Then we cannot come in", they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.



"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!"


The woman went out and invited the men in.


"We do not go into a House together," they replied.

"Why is that?" she asked.


One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your
husband which one of us you want in your home."


The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth.. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"



His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"

Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house.


She jumped in with her own
suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"

"Let us hear our daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband to his wife.

"Go out and invite Love to be our guest."

The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest.."

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"


The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!!!!"

A 90-year-old man

A 90-year-old man was having his annual checkups.

The doctor asked him how he was feeling. "I've never been better," the old man replied." I've got a twenty-year-old bride who's pregnant & is about to deliver a child. What is your opinion about that, Doc?" the old man asked.

The doctor thought for a moment, then says, "Well, let me tell you a story.

I know a guy who is a hunter. He never misses a season for hunting. But, one day he's in a bit of a hurry and he accidentally grabs his umbrella instead of his gun. The doctor continued, "So he's walking in the woods near a creek, and suddenly he spots a lion in some bush in front of him. He raises up his umbrella, points it at the lion and squeezes the handle.

BAM! The lion drops dead in front of him."

That's impossible!" said the old man in disbelief. Someone else must have shot! that lion.

"Exactly" Said the Doc.

Why the Wedding Ring Worn over 4th Finger..!!! TRY IT

Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?

There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese. 

----------------------------------

Thumb represents your - Parents 
Second (Index) finger represents your - Siblings 
Middle finger represents your - Self 
Fourth (Ring) finger represents your - Life Partner 
& Last (Little) finger represents your - Children
 
Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together -back to back

Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip 
(As shown in the figure above)

Now, try to Separate your Thumbs (representing the parents)..., they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong (Sorry but its the Truth), and have to leave you sooner or later.

Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)... ., they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.

Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children).., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day...

Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate yourRing fingers (representing your spouse).

You will be surprised to see that you just CAN NOT.., 
 

Coz Husband &Wife have to remain together all their lives - through thick and thin.... !! 

ISN'T THIS A LOVELY THEORY.. ??

On a dark and foggy night............

There was a contest in TCS to write a fictional story for 500 words max which would start with the line "On a dark and foggy night, a small
figure lay huddled on the railway tracks leading to the Chennai station "

This is what a guy wrote for the contest....... and surprisingly, it was adjudged the best short story : ))

On a dark and foggy night, a small figure lay huddled on the railway tracks leading to the Chennai station. At once I was held back to see
someone in that position during midnight with no one around. With curiosity taking the front seat, I went near the body and tried to
investigate it. There was blood all over the body which was lying face down. It seemed that a ruthless blow by the last train could have
caused the end of this body which seemed to be that of a guy of around my age. Amidst the gory blood flow, I could see a folded white envelope which
was fluttering in the midnight wind. Carefully I took the blood stained envelope and was surprised to see the phrase "appraisal letter" on it.

With curiosity rising every moment, I wasted no time in opening the envelope to see if I can find some details about the dead guy. The tag
around the body's neck and the jazzy appraisal cover gave me the hint that he might be a software engineer. I opened the envelope to find a
shining paper on which the appraisal details where typed in flying colors. Thunders broke into my ears and lightening struck my heart when
I saw the appraisal amount of the dead guy!!!!! My God, it was not even, as much as the cost of the letter on which the appraisal details were
printed.... My heart poured out for the guy and huge calls were heard inside my mind saying "no wonder, this guy died such a miserable
death"... As a fellow worker in the same industry, I thought I should mourn for him for the sake of respect and stood there with a heavy
heart thinking of the shock that he would have experienced when his manager had placed the appraisal letter in his hand. I am sure his heart would
have stopped and eyes would have gone blank for few seconds looking at the near to nothing increment in his salary.

While I mourned for him, for a second my hands froze to see the employee's name in the appraisal letter... hey, what a strange
co-incidence, this guy's name is same as mine, including the initials.
This was interesting.

With some mental strength, I turned the body upside down and found myself fainted for a second. The guy not only had my name, but also
looked exactly like me. Same looks, same built, same name.... it was me who was dead there!!!!!!!! While I was lost in that shock, I felt
someone patting on my shoulders. My heart stopped completely, I could not breathe and sprung in fear to see who was behind......... splash!!!
Went the glass of water on my laptop screen as I came out of my wild dream to see my manager standing behind my chair patting on my shoulder
saying, "wake up man !! Come to meeting room number two. I have your appraisal letter ready"
