Did Draupadi ever got any gift from Arjuna?

Did Draupadi ever got any gift from Arjuna? Arjuna, being a prince would have gifted Draupadi who was his beloved wife. Vyasa mentioned in Vana Parva that Arjuna gave all the jewelry to Draupadi which was given by Indra to Arjuna. Excerpt “And when Matali had gone away, that foremost of the royal race, Sakra's son, the high-souled destroyer of all foes made over unto his love, the mother of Sutasoma, beautiful precious gems and ornaments having the splendour of the sun, which had been presented to him by Sakra.”

Then how was Jayadrath killed?

In Mahabharata, it is said that the Pashupatastra obtained by Arjuna from Shiva is never used. Then how was Jayadrath killed? On the 14th day of war drona created a terrible formation of 3 vyuhas. Arjuna penetrated into the vyuha and killed the major number of army. But when arjuna approaching jayadratha he was obstructed by 6 maharathis in the kaurava army. How ever he managed to face those 6 warriors but sun is approaching the western hill to be set. In that situation Krishna created an illusion that sun was setted by using his chakra. By seeing that Jayadratha came out of his chariot and came before Arjuna to celebtare his defeat. Then Krishna removed his illusion and told Arjuna to kill Jayadratha. Arjuna took a sharp naracha arrow and did cut the head of Saindhava but Krishna told Arjuna make sure that the head should not fall on the ground. Arjuna is keeping jayadrarha's head to be in the sky with his arrows by continuing his fight with maharathi warriors. Then Arjuna asked krishna how much time that he should keep that head in the sky? Then Krishna replied Arjuna that Saindhava’s father took a boon from lord Shiva that “Who ever makes my son's head fall on ground that person's head should be made into pieces.” Make that head to fall in the lap of his father Vridhakshatra. He is in Samanthaka panchaka now. Then Arjuna for the first time in mahabharat war used Pashupatastra and made Jayadratha's head to fall in the lap of his father. He is doing meditation at that time. Suddenly by seeing the cutted head in his lap he thrown away that head on the ground and his head was made into pieces. In this incident Kriahna told the place where jayadratha's farher stayed. But Arjuna did not know the perfect place where he sat and meditating. So he used pashupatastra but if he had known his perfect place with in his eye sight Arjuna would have completed this task with normal arrow

But Kohli rises, a phoenix strong, His bat sings a defiant song. Seventy-six runs, a farewell grand, He sets the stage, takes final stand. A target set, not great, not small, Can our bowlers answer the call? South Africa starts with steady pace, We pray our team can keep its grace.

A fifteen year old Mexican boy and his father were in a mall.

A fifteen year old Mexican boy and his father were in a mall. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny silver walls that could move apart and then slide back together again. The boy asked, "What is this, Father?" The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life, I don"t know what it is." While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, a fat old lady in a wheel chair moved up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened, and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed, and the boy and his father watched the small numbers above the walls light up sequentially. They continued to watch until it reached the last number, and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order. Finally, the walls opened up again, and a gorgeous 24-year-old blonde stepped out. The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son, *"Go get your mother."*

USA has invoked Gandhi after receiving the following order from the British King::

USA has invoked Gandhi after receiving the following order from the British King:: To the citizens of the United States of America from HIS Majesty King Charles In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. (You should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.) Hइस Sovereign Majesty King Charles will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except North Dakota, which she does not fancy). Your new Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect: ----------------------- 1. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour,' 'favour,' 'labour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize' will be replaced by the suffix '-ise.' Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary'). ------------------------ 2. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as ''like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as U.S. English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter 'u'' and the elimination of '-ize.' ------------------- 3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday. ----------------- 4. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, then you're not ready to shoot grouse. ---------------------- 5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public. ---------------------- 6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour. -------------------- 7. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it. ------------------- 8. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar. ------------------- 9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. South African beer is also acceptable, as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer. They are also part of the British Commonwealth - see what it did for them. American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion. --------------------- 10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialect in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater. --------------------- 11. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies). --------------------- 12. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the South Africans first to take the sting out of their deliveries. -------------------- 13.. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad. ----------------- 14. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776). --------------- 15. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season. God Save the King PS: Only share this with friends who have a good sense of humour (NOT humor).

OPEN LETTER TO HONOURABLE LOP

OPEN LETTER TO HONOURABLE LOP Even the other day, when Congress was down to 44 seats in Parliament, we got the impression that you were a reluctant politician. Now that Congress has got 99 seats (18%), there seems to be some interest generated in you in politics. If that be so, the voters would like to give you some suggestions: 1. If you study the lives of great leaders like Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela, John F Kennedy, Subhash Chandra Bose, Sardar Patel, Bidhan Chandra Roy, Vajpayee and several others, you will find that they never indulged in profanities. Their language was always sobre and classy, there demeanour dignified, they never appeared to lose control of themselves. You need to adopt that. Losing your temper, appearing aggressive, use of improper language or gestures, being impolite is not going to make you liked by Indians. 2. You have no experience of governance. Take the case of any successful leader, you will find that they rose step by step. Your father was para-dropped and was not adept at his job as PM. He started with a big blunder by indirectly justifying the Sikh riots by saying "जब कोई बड़ा पेड़.......". Whether it is Patel, Vajpayee or Narasimha Rao or Modi, they all rose through the ranks by working hard at each step. That gives you the experience and knowledge to understand people, problems of the people, and how to find solutions. Look at the private sector. No one can become a CEO on day one. So, be a minister somewhere, then a CM may be, then you'll have enough experience and knowledge. Otherwise, even if you happen to be PM someday, you will soon lose it out of inexperience. Chirag Paswan, Jyotirditya Scindia, Sachin Pilot, Biswasharma have first gained experience then aspired for positions. 3. Thirdly, remember this is the 21st century. The age of dynastic rule is over. So, a politician has to stand on his calibre and not on who his father or mother is. Earn the respect of your partymen by demonstrating to them that you deserve to be their leader. Otherwise, like leaders who have already abandoned the Congress party, others will too. You have to build consensus and not be dictatorial. 4. Fourthly, get rid of your sycophants. They will praise you to your face and damage you on your back. I was once travelling to someplace and struck a conversation with a fellow passenger, who turned out to be the office bearer of your party in one state. The way this person criticised you it seems that rank and file is not happy with your style of functioning. 5. Stop insulting the majority community. They have done you no harm. They have voted for you too. Otherwise, you would not have got 99 seats. Moreover, a good leader should not show himself to be against any class, caste, race, religion. Look at Pakistan today. It is hate for a particular community that has got them into this mess. India certainly needs a good opposition. When Mr Modi hands over in 2032 there would be a vacuum of leadership. That is the time India would need some good leaders in power and in the opposition. I urge you to prepare from now itself to be ready to hold some responsible position then. I hope you would receive these suggestions in the right spirit. We all mean well. Jai Hind ! Vande Mataram ! P K Basu
