*Headache story:*

*Headache story:* The Owner of a *Coffee Shop* had been busy all day. Being Saturday, his shop was very crowded and the customers seemed unending. He had been on his toes since morning. Towards the evening he felt a splitting headache surfacing. As the clock ticked away, his headache worsened. Unable to bear it, he stepped out of the shop leaving his staff to look after the sales. He walked across the street to the *Pharmacy to buy himself a painkiller to relieve his headache.* He swallowed the pill and felt relieved. He knew that in a few minutes he would feel better. As he strolled out of the shop, he casually asked the salesgirl, *Where is the Chemist ? He's not at the cash counter today.* The girl replied, Sir, he was having a splitting headache and said he was going across to *your Coffee Shop.* He said a *cup of Hot Coffee would relieve him of his headache.* The man's mouth went dry and he mumbled, Oh ! I see. *This is a typical case of looking outside ourselves for something that we have with us.* *How strange, but true.* *The Chemist relieves his headache by drinking coffee and the Coffee Shop Owner relieves his headache by taking a pill.* *Similarly, many of us travel across the lengths and breadths of the earth and also visit various shrines and holy places to find peace.* *Eventually, we come to realize that Peace is within us at all times in our own heart & mind.* *Peace of mind comes from being content with ourselves & being grateful for what we have with us.* *There is a peaceful way of going through life, but all depends on our willingness to change our attitude towards everything in life.* *The older I get the more I realize..... the ultimate luxury of life is............. "Peace of Mind".*

*ROUGH BOOK IN YOUR FAMILY*

A lovely forward I got today It underlines notes we make of events around our closest people... A BOOK IS ALWAYS IN MAKING! *ROUGH BOOK IN YOUR FAMILY* In a school bag, the Rough Book will have the worst condition because it bears the load and responsibilities of all other subjects. Only because of the presence of Rough Book, Fair Books of all subjects are found very neat and tidy, well maintained and decorated. In our family also, because of presence of one rough book, who bears responsibilities for many subjects, individual fair books are enjoying their convenience. Hats Off to this rough book... *Who is the rough book in your family?.* Have you ever acknowledged their presence? Please do it before the rough book gets over.

A little boy wanted to meet God.

A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with a bag of potato chips and a six-pack of root beer and started his journey. When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman. She was sitting in the park, just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old lady looked hungry, so he offered her some chips She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him. Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered her a root beer. Again, she smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word. As twilight approached, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave; but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman, and gave her a hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever.. When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, " What did you do today that made you so happy?" He replied, "I had lunch with God." But before his mother could respond, he added, "You know what? She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!" Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home. Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face and he asked, " Mother, what did you do today that made you so happy?" She replied! "I ate potato chips in the park with God." However, before her son responded, she added, " You know, he's much younger than I expected." Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime! Embrace all equally!

Diplomatic Telegram

Our Hon’ble Pt Nehru was giving away half of J&K to Pakistan, the deal wasn’t discussed in LS - but now has come out in the open after US declassified communique In the third round of talks held in Karachi on February 9, 1963, India offered a partition line. Swaran Singh called it a 'Line of Peace and Collaboration' (LOPC). In this proposal India agreed to give up the Poonch salient as well as Uri. To the north India also proposed to give up land in the Gurez sector giving the entire Neelam/Kinshanganga valley to Pakistan. In return, India sought control of the post dominating Kargil town (these were captured in 1965 and again in 1971 and are currently with India), points out Colonel Anil A Athale Ironically, they have to thank Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the then foreign minister of Pakistan, who rejected this outright as he wanted the whole of the Kashmir Valley and territory up to the Chenab river in Jammu division. The diplomatic telegram that gives details of this Indian offer was declassified by the Americans.
