Good that Namrata killed her husband...
This is a story of a 36 year old lady Namrata who was married to a guy named Satish. Namrata was a very beautiful lady. Namrata and Satish has a boy named Deepak who was 10 years old.
Satish was a very ambitious person with a goal of setting up his own business in the near future. Namrata used to manage the household activities. Deepak was studying in class IV in a nearby school.
One fine evening, Deepak was studying in his room when he heard his mother and father shouting at each other. He didn't bother and kept studying. Next morning, when Deepak was getting ready for the school, he again heard their parents fighting over something. As he was getting late for the school, he went away ignoring the fighting.
Some days passed away. It was one Sunday afternoon when Deepak was watching the cricket match between India and South Africa. All of a sudden, he again heard their parent fighting. He wanted to ignore it. However, the noise increased. It seemed to Deepak that something is really serious. He made up his mind to go to their parents ask them to stop the quarrel. However, all of sudden he heard his mother crying.
He rushed to the room and found his father dead and lying on the floor. He asked his mother astonishingly as to why she killed his father. What was the reason that she has to kill her father? Namrata didn't reply anything. She called her sister, Prerna, and informed her about the incident. Soon police came and took Namrata away.
Namrata got a lifetime imprisonment sentence. Deepak started living with his aunty, Prerna.
14 years passed away. Namrata came out of jail. Deepak was now 24 years old. Namrata came to her sister, Prerna's house where she found Deepak. Deepak now became adamant to know about the reason why she killed his father. He refused to talk to Namrata if she didn’t tell the reason as to why she killed Satish. After much talking, Namrata finally agreed to tell the reason.
Namrata was in tears when she was telling it all. She told Deepak that his father was a very ambitious guy. He wanted to attain the prosperity in any manner as soon as possible. One day he came to her and asked her of she would go to spend a night at his boss’s house. His boss name was Raghavan. This would really help him in one way or other to get a big chunk of money from his boss which he would use to set up his business. Namrata further added that she got shocked to listen that and started hating her husband, Satish, after that evening. Seeing this, Satish apologized and they went ahead. However, after few days, one fine Sunday afternoon, Satish again told Namrata to go to his boss house. This led to a fight between them and accidentally, Satish fall on the floor and died instantly.
After hearing the story, Deepak apologized to his mother for troubling her to tell the story. Deepak also hated his father at that moment and he cried a lot.
Few days passed away. One fine evening, Prerna, Namrata and Deepak were having their dinner in a restaurant. And, then, Namrata found Satish’s boss, Raghavan, having dinner with his family. Namrata got tears in her eyes but kept quiet. However, Deepak found something going wrong there. After asking persistently, Namrata pointed to Deepak about Satish’s Boss. Deepak got outraged and went to Raghavan’s table and scolded him and started beating him. People came in and stopped Deepak from doing any more damage any further. When Raghavan asked why he was scolding and beating him, Deepak told him about his father, Satish and also scolded him for his misadventures.
Raghavan, then, told Deepak that he wanted Satish to send his wife, Namrata on one of the evenings to take care of his two very young daughters, one aged 3 years and one aged 6 years. They didn’t have mother. He had to go out to his home town and he wanted Satish to accompany him but didn’t inform him about this. He said that he very casually asked Satish if his wife would be comfortable to come to his house on one of the evenings. And, he felt very sorry that a communication gap led to so many unwanted events and disturbed so many lives for all these years.
Namrata, on hearing this, cried profusely and Deepak felt so sorry about everything.
Moral of the story:
Please communicate properly before reaching to any conclusion. Please find out first hand facts before reaching to any conclusion and thereby taking any action. Or, else, the communication gap could lead to as worse condition as with Namrata who had to spend 14 years of life in jail on the charge of murder of her husband. Deepak had to stay away from his mother. Deepak fought with a person in front of everybody.

By God's will, My Father acted as my Servant!
There is this small town, Hazaribagh wherein a lady namely Latha lives with her 10 year old daughter whose name is Pooja. Latha has kept a servant, Narendra, for managing her house.
------------ 3rd January, 1998 ------------
Latha's husband died 3 years back. Pooja was 10 years old and she missed her father a lot. Due to this, Pooja kept asking her mother about her father whenever they got together. But, Latha, her mother never replied back. Then one fine day, she got desperate to know about her father and she went into the nearby Lord Krishna temple and offered her prayers to god and asked him to help her to find her father. She decided not to go back to her home until she gets some answer.
Two days passed away without any food and water. God finally came into Pooja's dream and asked why she wanted to know about her father.
God said, "Kid, tell me why you want to know about your father? If I like your answer, then only I would tell you about him".
Child said, "God, my friends scold me, tease me, abuse me every day on my identity. They say, my existence is not relevant as I do not have father. All of them have stopped speaking to me. Now, I am alone. I do not have any friends. My life has become miserable. Isn't that enough reason for me to know about my father?"
God answered with a smile on his face, "I must tell you about your father. But, even if I tell you, that won’t be really of any help to you. Do you still want to know about your father?"
Child replied, "Yes, God! Please tell me who is my father and where is he? Why did he leave me and my mother? Is he alive?"
God answered, "Child, your father's name is Narendra. He works as a servant in your own house. And, he had been doing so since you were two years old. Now, tell me did that make you happy? Would your friends still not make fun of you?"
Child asked, "God, but why is he servant in my own house? And, why did my mother not do anything about this? And, why did she hide this truth from me?"
God replied, "Your father himself has agreed to become servant in your mother's house. And, your mother is not your real mother. She didn't give birth to you. She is a kind lady who had lots of wealth but no husband and no kid. One fine day, when she was visiting a temple, she found your father begging for food with you by his side and you were crying a lot. At that moment, she decided to take care of you and your father. She asked your father to stay in her house. But, your father generously denied as people would have started talking bad things about Latha and your father. So, he decided to become servant and took promise of your mother to never reveal the reality. All of them moved to the new town where you are leaving."
Child surprisingly asked to God, "You are almighty. You are superpower. You could have changed everybody's fate for better. Then why did you not do that? In present case, everybody is suffering. I am scolded by my friends. My father is a servant. And, my mother has to lie to me and others so many times."
God answered smilingly, “Child, look at all of you. Isn’t it really good for your father to see his daughter growing with all facilities available to her in life? Is it also not good for your father that he is earning and living a peaceful life? Isn’t it good for your mother as she is enjoying her motherhood? Isn’t it good for you that you are getting all the facilities of life?”
God added further, "The sufferings that you all are going are my designs to stay with you. This is why I am near to all of those who are suffering, or who are going through the phase of misery. Do not worry, Child. A day will come everything will fall in place." With this, god disappeared from her dream.
When Pooja woke up in the morning, she didn't remember anything what happened last night. She went back home in disappointment.
------------ 13th September, 2009 ------------
Pooja was studying in St. Xavier, Calcutta. Her annual examinations were going on. She was relaxing in the college canteen with a cup of tea when her friend called her to inform that a person named Narendra has come to meet her. After a while when she reached the visiting area, she found Narendra in tears. Narendra informed Pooja that her mother has passed away. And she left a letter for her. After hours of mourning, Pooja finally started reading letter. There she found that Narendra is her real father. And, that Latha was not her real mother. She became shocked and refused to accept Narendra as her father. She scolded him and asked him to go away.
Some days passed away. One fine night, God again appeared in Pooja's dream and asked her, "Child, why did you not accept Narendra as your father? Is it because he has always been your servant?"
Pooja replied, "God, how ruthless are you that you took away my mother. And, now you are telling me to accept Narendra as my father. How do I trust him? And, why did you do all this?"
God answered, "Child, You have to trust me. I always do good to all my people. Everybody is equal to me. I give them happiness and I only give them sufferings to make them become a better person. So, when your mother was alive, it was for welfare for all of you to be in the state in which you were. Now, your mother died as that had to happen. So, I am returning your father. Your father is now owner of all the wealth possessed by Latha. You both will not have any problems anymore. God then made Pooja remember the flashback story that he told her long years back." With that God disappeared.
Pooja woke up next morning but this time she didn't forget what happened last night. She got tears in her eyes. She rushed back to her hometown and found Narendra there in the same house. They both hugged each other and thanked god for bringing them together.
What is moral of story?
Trust God for anything and everthing. Accept all miseries of your life boldly by thinking that it is god's desire that you are going through that misery and he would make things right one day.

Silence Cures Diseases Miraculously!

Have you ever practiced silence? Sounds crazy right? But, I mean it. We practice yoga, physical training etc for our better health. However, I believe practicing silence would even give better results than any other forms.
Let me tell you why?
1. When we speak, there is very high chance that we end up going in argument or creating several questions for us in the end of the conversation. With questions, our mind and other parts of body get affected. As a result, different changes happen in form of secretion of acids (PITTA in Yoga). Also, in stress we breathe in differently than we breathe when we are in peace. So, air (VATTA in Yoga) imbalance happens.
So, as a result of PITTA and VATTA adverse affects on our different body parts including heart and brain, they get adversely affected. Thus, we get diseased.
We could really reduce lot of our diseases by just being silent as much as possible.
There are lots of advantages of being silence. Few of them are as following:
1. Reduced chance of unnecessary argument and hence reduced stress.
2. Higher awareness and thus active mind.
3. Peace and happy life.
As Silence has direct affects on Kapha (mucus), Pitta(acid) and Vata (air/wind), keeping them balanced helps us remain healthy and happy. The above three are Tri-Doshas in Ayurveda. Read further links on above tri-doshas:

3 tried and tested steps to achieve success

It is only that we just build up our mind, and then anything is possible. The question that arises is how do we build up our mind to achieve something?
Well, I do not think it is too hard to do that.
1. What do you do when you are diseased? You want to get better off, right. We all want to reach to a better state from the diseased state. We want to get away from trouble. For that, we eat medicines regularly and sincerely as prescribed by the doctors.
Similarly, if you want to achieve something, it implies that you want to reach to a better state after achieving your goal. So, we need to sincerely take the medicine of affirmation regularly with the hope that we would achieve it. This is similar to thee manner in which we eat medicines in the hope to get better and finally we get better. For example, if you want to get success, just affirm yourself daily saying "I have got huge success in my life".
2. As said in many articles, start visualizing from day one that you have achieved that goal. But, I want to add here a point that your visualization is incomplete if you do not feel the associated emotions. Until you feel it, keep practicing. Definitely, the day you start feeling the associated emotions, you have won half the battle.
3. Action: Everything without sincere action in the right direction is not useful. But do not worry about this step of taking right and sincere action. Trust me that if you follow first two steps right, you would definitely carry out third step effectively and effortlessly.

Google Waiters to be launched soon!
Well, the news is not 100 % correct. But, the way Google is spreading its arms in anything remotely associated with search or advertisement, it seems that some application namely Google Waiter could as well get launched sooner than later. Simply speaking, Google waiter would help consumers to search and order the food from their nearby restaurants by doing one or more of the following:
1. Search specials of the day or
2. Search dynamic menus from nearby restaurants.
3. Place "to go" or “for here” order.
4. Interact with the "Waiter" for clarifications.

How they would do it is something they would definitely find out. Let us see when?
And yes, I do expect Google Waiters to definitely be mobile. So, guys out there, please ensure that you create mobile Waiters.

US - Saddams - Osamas - US?
I think the time has come for world leaders to introspect. Why Saddams and Osamas are created?

Isn't that they have been created as a result of ruthlessness and untruthful and opportunistic manners of so-called big powers including US, United States of America.
Let's take a look at Saddam's case.
1. US was very much supportive of Saddam Hussain in the fight against Iran so what if there was massive killings on both sides.
2. Then, Saddam went ahead to capture Kuwait. The direct affect was on US due to rise in oil price. So, the next thing US did is attack on Iraq and try to kill Saddam.
3. When, all went in vain, US tried to take a different route by ordering UN inspection of nuclear and biological arms in Iraq. UN inspectors searched so much, but could find a single instance of such deadly arms.
4. So, in order to kill Saddam, US found a different way to allege Saddam of not being co-operative and thus, attacking Iraq.
5. Finally, they killed Saddam without carrying trials up International court. Why? Might be that lot of facts could have been brought by Saddam in this court.
Some observations:
1. UN council is mere puppet in the hands of US.
2. US would do everything to ensure that their interests are met, so what if lakhs of innocent people are killed.
Don't you know Osama is once supported by US? :)

Network File System (NFS)
Network File System (NFS)
Among the many different file systems that FreeBSD supports is the Network File System, also known as NFS. NFS allows a system to share directories and files with others over a network. By using NFS, users and programs can access files on remote systems almost as if they were local files.
Some of the most notable benefits that NFS can provide are:
- Local workstations use less disk space because commonly used data can be stored on a single machine and still remain accessible to others over the network.
- There is no need for users to have separate home directories on every network machine. Home directories could be set up on the NFS server and made available throughout the network.
- Storage devices such as floppy disks, CDROM drives, and Zip® drives can be used by other machines on the network. This may reduce the number of removable media drives throughout the network.
NFS consists of at least two main parts: a server and one or more clients. The client remotely accesses the data that is stored on the server machine. In order for this to function properly a few processes have to be configured and running.
The server has to be running the following daemons:
nfsd: The NFS daemon which services requests from the NFS clients.mountd: The NFS mount daemon which carries out the requests that nfsd(8) passes on to it.rpcbind: This daemon allows NFS clients to discover which port the NFS server is using.
The client can also run a daemon, known as nfsiod. The nfsiod daemon services the requests from the NFS server. This is optional, and improves performance, but is not required for normal and correct operation. See the nfsiod(8) manual page for more information.
More detail could be found on the page
