 I Asked God

I asked God to take my pain away.
God said, No.
It is not for me to take away,
but for you to give it up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, No.
Her spirit was whole,
her body was only temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No.
Patience is a by-product of tribulations,
it isn't granted, it is earned.

I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, No.
I give you blessings,
Happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares
and brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No.
You must grow on your own,
but I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No.
I will give you life
so that you may enjoy all things.

This is the song which my son has to sung in school.It is very interesting

ये वक़्त ना ठहरा है , यह वक़्त ना ठहरेगा यूँ ही गुज़र जायेगा, घबराना कैसा हिम्मत से काम लेंगे, घबराना कैसा सुख दुःख तो जीवन में आते और जाते दुःख पहले आ जाये तो , घबराना कैसा हिम्मत से काम लेंगे, घबराना कैसा सागर के सीने से लाये है हम मोती लहरें अगर बलखाये तो घबराना कैसा हिम्मत से काम लेंगे, घबराना कैसा जो आया दुनिया में उसको जाना ही है अपनी भी चले जाएँ तोह घबराना कैसा हिम्मत से काम लेंगे, घबराना कैसा जब कदम बढाया है मंजिल मिल जायेगी है राह ज़रा मुश्किल तो घबराना कैसा हिम्मत से काम लेंगे, घबराना कैसा हम युग सेनानी हैं हिम्मत से काम लेंगे मंजिल पे नज़र होगी, गुरुवर का नाम लेंगे विपरीत दिशाओं से फिर घबराना कैसा हिम्मत से काम लेंगे, घबराना कैसा ये वक़्त ना ठहरा है , यह वक़्त

Do you think person sitting in public places like bank should behave according to their false ego - part 1

For few days I have been experiencing some new and interesting aspects of human behavior in UBI bank. From the last so many years I have been operating my account in UBI bank. Few days back, I had to send some money electronically to ICICI PUNE. It was very important because it was Anti Virus Renewal fees. Since, I was doing it for the first time I decided to goto ICICI bank with my friend ,Ajay Verma . There we learned that it could also be sent by my own account from my bank(UBI). So ,I went to so called my bank Union Bank of India. There started a sequence of interesting events. I first went to Mr Rohit who was very busy .He requested me to go to the person in charge. So ,I went to Mr Shriwastava to whom I was reluctant to go .Before going to Mr Shriwastawa I had already told Rohit that there was some attitude problem with Mr. Shriwastava .The first question he asked me was why I came to UBI bank & why I didn't go to ICICI bank . Then I said to him ," c
