Question 1: You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it’s raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:
An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
An old friend who once saved your life.
The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car?
This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.
* You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first;
* or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back.
* However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.
The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. Guess what was his answer?
He simply answered:
‘I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams.’
Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to ‘Think Outside of the Box.’
Question 2: What will you do if I run away with your sister?’
The candidate who was selected answered ‘I will not get a better match for my sister than you sir’
Question 3: Interviewer (to a student girl candidate) - What is one morning you woke up & found that you were pregnant.
Girl - I will be very excited and take an off, to celebrate with my husband.
Normally an unmarried girl will be shocked to hear this, but she managed it well. Why I should think it in the wrong way, she said later when asked
Question 4: Interviewer: He ordered a cup of coffee for the candidate… Coffee arrived kept before the candidate, then he asked what is before you?
Candidate: Instantly replied ‘Tea’
He got selected.
You know how and why did he say ‘TEA’ when he knows very well that coffee was kept before.
(Answer: The question was ‘What is before you (U - alphabet)
Reply was ‘TEA’ ( T - alphabet)
Alphabet ‘T’ was before Alphabet ‘U’
Question 5: Where Lord Rama would have celebrated his ‘First Diwali’? People will start thinking of Ayodya, Mitila [Janaki's place], Lanka etc…
But the logic is, Diwali was a celebrated as a mark of Lord Krishna Killing Narakasura. In Dusavataar, Krishnavathaar comes after Raamavathaar.
So, Lord Rama would not have celebrated the Diwali At all!
Question 6: The interviewer asked to the candidate ‘This is your last question of the interview. Please tell me the exact position of the center of this table where u have kept your files.’
Candidate confidently put one of his finger at some point at the table and told that this was the central point at the table. Interviewer asked how did u get to know that this being the central point of this table, then he answers quickly that sir u r not likely to ask any more question, as it was the last question that u promised to ask…
And hence, he was selected as because of his quick-wittedness…
This is What Interviewer expects from the Interviewee…
‘THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX’

And, of course, of all those who plead Hussein ‘Not Guilty’ in the name of Art & freedom of expression!
If a person dresses like a Sikh Guru, thousands of Sikhs gather and destroy their establishments, threaten to kill him, announce a bounty on his head - Sikhs are not criticized for being communal and intolerant.
If a Danish journalist depicts the Prophet of the Muslims, Muslims all over the world rise in anger, there is violence, a booty on the head of the Journalist - Muslims are not criticized for being communal and intolerant.
If MF Hussain draws paintings depicting Hindu Gods and Goddesses in sexual positions (which relations are not borne out by ancient texts at all ) and Hindus merely protest, they are called communal, intolerant and taught lessons in secularism by one and all.
The problem apparently is not with Sikhs and Muslims, it is with Hindus, because we are not violent, we accept what ever is dished out to us, we do not have the guts to say that this is wrong, we seek acceptance from outsiders rather than from our conscience. We worship the same Gods and Goddesses but don’t stand up for them when the time comes.
If you believe Hussein is wrong, forward this message.
Be a judge yourself of Hussein’s paintings below.
Goddess Durga in sexual union with Tiger |
Prophet’s Daughter Fatima fully clothed |
Goddess Lakshmi naked on Shree Ganesh’s head |
M.F. Hussein’s Mother fully clothed |
Naked Saraswati |
Mother Teresa fully clothed |
Naked Shri Parvati |
Hussein’s Daughter well clothed |
Naked Draupadi |
Well clothed Muslim Lady |
Naked Lord Hanuman and Goddess Sita sitting on thigh of Ravana |
Muslim poets Faiz, Galib are shown well-clothed |
Full Clad Muslim King and naked Hindu Brahmin. The above painting clearly indicates Hussein’s tendency to paint any Hindu as naked and thus his hatred. |
Naked Bharatmata - Hussein has shown naked woman with names of states written on different parts of her body. He has used Ashok Chakra, Tri-colour in the painting. By doing this he has violated law & hurt National Pride of Indians. Both these things should be of grave concern to every Indian irrespective of his religion. |
Out of the four leaders M. Gandhi is decapitated and Hitler is naked. Hussein hates Hitler and has said in an interview 8 years ago that he has depicted Hitler naked to humiliate him and as he deserves it ! How come Hitler’s nudity cause humiliation when in Hussein’s own statement nudity in art depicts purity and is in fact an honor ! This shows Hussein’s perversion and hypocrisy. |
Don’t feel shy to circulate. At least people should know.
‘Every one should know what WE HINDUS ARE!’
WE DON’T HAVE COURAGE TO PROTECT OUR SELF RESPECT.

A Priest dies & is awaiting his turn in line at the Heaven’s Gates. Ahead of him is a guy, nattily dressed, in dark sun glasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket & jeans.
Lord Dharamraj asks him, “Please tell me who are you , so that I may know whether to admit you into the kingdom of Heaven or not?”
The guy replies, “I am Banta Singh, taxi driver from New Delhi!”
Lord Dharamraj consults his ledger, smiles & says to Banta Singh, “Please take this silken robe & golden staff & enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”
Now it is the priest’s turn. He stands erect and speaks out in a booming voice, “I am Sant Shiromani Baba so & so, Head Priest of the so & so Temple for the last 40 years.”
Lord Dharamraj consults his ledger & says to the Priest, “Please take this cotton robe, wooden staff & enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”
“Just a minute,” says the agonised Priest. “How is that a foul mouthed, rash driving Taxi Driver is given a Silken robe & a Golden staff, and me, a Priest, who’s spent his whole life preaching your Name & goodness has to make do with a Cotton robe & a Wooden staff?”
“Results my friend, results,” shrugs Lord Dharamraj. “While you preached, people SLEPT; but when he drove his taxi, people PRAYED.”
|Moral of the story|
Its PERFORMANCE & not POSITION that ultimately counts.

A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband.
Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!
There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights.
There is, however, a catch. … You may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.
*********
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.
*********
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking.
“Wow,” she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
*********
She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework.
“Oh, mercy me!” she exclaims, “I can hardly stand it!”
*********
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:
*********
Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!
For all men for a good laugh and to all the women who can handle the truth!

Last spring I was walking in a park. A short distance ahead of me was a mom and her three-year-old daughter. The little girl was holding on to a string that was attached to a helium balloon.
All of a sudden, a sharp gust of wind took the balloon from the little girl. I braced myself for some screaming and crying.
But, no! As the little girl turned to watch her balloon go skyward, she gleefully shouted out, Wow!
I didn’t realize it at that moment, but that little girl taught me something.
Later that day, I received a phone call from a person with news of an unexpected problem. I felt like responding with “Oh no, what should we do?” But remembering that little girl, I found myself saying, “Wow, that’s interesting! How can I help you?”
One thing’s for sure - life’s always going to keep us off balance with its unexpected problems. That’s a given. What’s not preordained is our response. We can choose to be frustrated or fascinated.
No matter what the situation, “a fascinated Wow!” will always beat a frustrated “Oh, no”.
So the next time you experience one of life’s unexpected gusts, remember that little girl and make it a “Wow!” experience. The “Wow!” response always works.

The train has started moving. It is packed with people of all ages, mostly with the working men and women and young college guys and gals. Near the window, seated a old man with his 30 year old son. As the train moves by, the son is overwhelmed with joy as he was thrilled with the scenery outside.
“See dad, the scenery of green trees moving away is very beautiful”
This behavior from a thirty year old son made the other people feel strange about him. Every one started murmuring something or other about this son. “This guy seems to be a crack…” newly married Anup whispered to his wife.
Suddenly it started raining… Rain drops fell on the travelers through the opened window. The Thirty year old son, filled with joy “See dad, how beautiful the rain is…”
Anup’s wife got irritated with the rain drops spoiling her new suit.
Anup, “Can’t you see its raining, you old man, if ur son is not feeling well get him soon to a mental asylum… and don’t disturb public henceforth.”
The old man hesitated first and then in a low tone replied, “We are on the way back from hospital, my son got discharged today morning, he was a blind by birth, last week only he got his vision, these rain and nature are new to his eyes. Please forgive us for the inconvenience caused…”
The things we see may be right from our perspective until we know the truth. But when we know the truth our reaction to that will hurt even us. So try to understand the problem better before taking a harsh action.
