An old man came to the office of a Municipal Councilor. His age would be above seventy, although he was not looking more than sixty two years old. He sat there and said to the councilor, ‘A spot on a road which is situated near his house is sinking. It is causing a big hole there. Every day some employees of the corporation fill it up with stones, scrapped bricks and clay etc. But the problem stands there.’ The councilor who is a lady said to him, ‘The problem is in my knowledge as I also live near by. Some other people have also complained for the same, and she has made four meetings with the officers of engineering department. They say that the pit is made because the water either from sewer pipe line or water pipe is leaking there and the water board may help to solve the problem. She explains one more thing that the troubled area falls into the territory of a neighboring councilor so he should approach the concerned councilor too.’

The old man said with annoyance, ‘You are not listening to my complaint and behaving as the police do. When some body goes to police to lodge a complaint, they also say that the place where crime happened does not come in their area. So you go to so and so police station.’ The councilor said, ‘I think, you seldom do some social work so that you have little knowledge about the functioning of the Govt. departments.’ On hearing this argument, he said with a smile on the face that he was feeling himself guilty and would try to behave properly in future.

One fine day, Akbar, accompanied with his two sons and his courtier- Birbal went to a river to take bath. They told Birbal to hold their clothes when they would take bath; they took off their clothes and stepped into the river.

Birbal stood at the bank of the river, carrying their clothes on his shoulder and waiting for them. On seeing him standing like this, Akbar got an idea to tease him and remarked, ‘Birbal, you look like a washer-mans’ donkey, standing with a load of clothes.’

Birbal immediately retorted that he was not carrying a load of one donkey but of three.

Akbar became speechless.

A lady, along with her little son went to a bazaar to buy some groceries. When she was ordering a salesman some grocery items, the shopkeeper saw the little boy. He showed the boy a box of toffees and offered them to him. The boy refused to take them. The shopkeeper insisted him again and again to take them. The lady had seen the drama between them and told the boy to take some toffees. But he again politely refused to take them.

The shopkeeper then took out a handful of toffees and offered him. The boy this time accepted the offer and said thank you. The lady and the boy went home happily. The lady asked the boy why he didn’t take out the toffees himself from the jar. He said, ‘If I take the toffees myself I can take a few toffees as my hands are small. But the uncle had given me, his own handful of toffees so I got more toffees.’

Moral: When God gives us something, He gives us more than our expectation.

A look on grey hair:

Generally hair start changing their color from dark to light even convert to grey after the age of forty. The age may vary from person to person. When I was in my teenage, a very few people used color to keep their hair black. That time it was considered luxury and was taken in negative way, although people were fashionable at that time also.

Now a day, most of the people who have grey hair use color to keep their hair black. It is true that it improves the outer personality of the people. Even then some aged people don’t like to use the color. Some children also feel uncomfortable when their parents use the colors. They think that it may harm their health.

There are many types of hair colors available in the market ranging from a few rupees to some hundreds in price. They are found in different forms also viz. – dye, colors, lotion, gel, powder and even comb, but all of them do the same job.

I also use color to keep my hair black. I use it once in a month, and generally after getting my hair cut.

I had taken a bath and was dressing up, when the door bell rang up. I came out of the room and saw Naveen standing on the main gate of my house. On seeing him, I greeted him and said, ‘I am just coming down-stairs and you kindly wait in the clinic, as other members of the class are about to come’. He said to me, ‘why have our friends not come yet’? I told him that he had come before time, it was 20 past 8 by my watch and they would come about half past eight. I got ready hurriedly and went to the clinic where Naveen was waiting for us. I switched on the remaining light of the clinic, as only one tube-light had been lit before that. Naveen said to me, ‘what do you know about Phytolacca Berry in obesity’? I told him that I didn’t use it invariably in obesity, so I had a little experience of it. I suggested him to study it in the material-medica. I took out Clarks materia- medica and started reading it. When Dr. Nagar came to the class, we were studying Phytolacca Berry.

Sitting on a chair, Dr. Nagar advised us to study Natrum Mur from the Coulters book which was in his hand. We agreed with him and started reading Natrum Mur from it. We were reading Natrum Mur, Dr. Gupta entered the class.

A patient, Akansha came to my clinic in the evening today. She is my regular patient since she was unmarried. She showed me her ultrasound report of abdomen which she got done three days back. I checked her report and told her that there were nothing abnormal detected in the report. She was suffering from cholelithiasis, means stones in a gall-bladder, and hemorrhoids, and had been taking the treatment from me for a year. A year back, she came to me along with her medical examination report of abdomen. Max hospital, where she was examined and diagnosed, declared that she was suffering from cholelithasis. A surgeon in the hospital advised her to go for surgery immediately otherwise it might be turned into malignancy. The patient didn’t undergo for surgery and came to me to take a homeopathic solution for it. I explained about cholelithiasis and told her that only a   third of such cases could be benefitted with homeopathy. She requested me to start her treatment for the same. I began her treatment for gall-stone and piles too.

She was relieved of the pain of gall-stone and got rid of piles also. Her today’s ultrasound report of the abdomen declared that the stones in her gall-bladder had been removed. She and I were happy on the achievement.

She told me one more thing that she had shown her all the reports of the abdomen to some other doctor yesterday. The doctor told her that her first report of the ultrasound which showed stones might be wrong. The question arises, if the report were wrong and the patient’s gall-bladder had been removed surgically what would have happened. There is a possibility, it is a whim of the doctor that cholelithiasis can’t be treated with homeopathy. So he thinks that the ultrasound report where stones are clearly visible is wrong or what is present in his mind that I don’t know…. .

**Pakistan is playing gimmicks one after another, and Govt. of India is trying to make good relations with Pakistan under the pressure of America. He played a game of talk along with America to clean his image on international stage, but it had been proved affectation. It would be the weakness of Govt. of India if he had not take stand at his words that he will not participate in talk with Pakistan till he does not ban terrorism against India in his country. India left his stand and got ready to talk with Pakistan, in this way Pakistan has trapped India in his web. That is why he took rude attitude in talk he neither has left the issue of Kashmir nor he has agreed to solve the problem of terrorism. Why does Manmohan Govt. not understand the policy of Pakistan that he just wishes to keep India disturb. Having understood his intention, India should develop relations with him. This is the result of weak policy and lack of will power of India. Pakistan always deceives India, and advises him to establish cordial relations with him. India should reply him with his strong will and power, only then Pakistan could be pressurized.
