Charlie was responsible for taking up the offerings at a local church.
One Sunday, after the service, the priest counted the money and found there was less than anticipated, given the size of the congregation.
He took Charlie aside and questioned him.
Charlie said that he did not take any of the offerings.
The priest questioned him again and again and Charlie continued to insist that he did not take any of the offerings.
So, the priest told Charlie to get into the confessional, which he did.
The priest then asked him again, "Charlie, did you take any of the offering?" This time, Charlie replied, "I can't hear you."
The priest asked Charlie the same question several times and Charlie would always reply, "I can't hear you."
Finally, the priest yelled, "CHARLIE, DID YOU TAKE ANY OF THE OFFERING?"
Again, the reply was, "I can't hear you."
The priest was now beginning to get angry, so he came out of the confessional and said to Charlie, "Trade places with me and you can ask me a question."
So, they traded places and Charlie asked, "Is it true that you and my wife are having an affair?"
To which the priest replied, "By golly, you're right, you can't hear in here!"

AYURVEDIC TIPS : TAKING CARE OF EYES
Although we use our eyes everyday, we rarely pay attention to them until there is some serious problem. You can maintain perfect eyesight for most of your life by following some simple remedies.
An Important Aspect of Health
If you were asked, "Do you take care of your eyes once a week or at least once a month?", the most common reply would probably be in the negative. The eyes are considered to tbe the most important organ in ourt body and yet, people neglect to care for them.
Although we use our eyes everyday, we rarely pay attention until there is some serious problem. Ayurveda advises to take care of health while in a healthy state. You can maintain perfect eyesight for most part of your life by following some simple remedies.

Although we use our eyes everyday, we rarely pay attention until there is some serious problem. Ayurveda advises to take care of health while in a healthy state. You can maintain perfect eyesight for most part of your life by following some simple remedies.
- Every morning after waking up, fill your mouth with water, close the eyes and sprinkle water on them about 10-15 times. Be sure, as Ayurveda advises, to wake up before sunrise. Do not use hot water to wash the eyes.
- Do not wash the eyes or face when the body is sweating, especially after hard physical exercise or after being exposed to heat and sun.
- Do not stare continuously, specially while looking at long distance objects. Blinking or giving rest to the eyes is good. Do not look at the objects in bright sunlight for a long time. Avoid reading, writing or working with eyes in improper light, or when the light is not sufficient. Take a break and give rest to the eyes if you feel heaviness or tiredness in the eyes.
- Staying up late in the night and sleeping after sunrise is harmful for the eyes. In case of staying up late, drink a cup of water after each hour or half hour.
- Protect your eyes from dust, smoke, strong sunlight and strong wind. Avoid staying long in such conditions. In case you have to stay, blink often and massage the closed eyes gently with your palms.
- Try to maintain regular and clean bowel movements. Constipation weakens the eyesight. In addition; too much anxiety, mental stress, grief, anger and worry are harmful for the eyes.
- Regular eye exercise maintains perfect eyesight. One simple method of exercise is moving the eyeball - right and left; upwards and downwards and rotating it in the clockwise and anti-clockwise directions.
- Another simple way of protecting of eyes is through 'palming'. Rub the palms of both hands for about 30 seconds, close the eyes and gently place the warm palms over the eyes.
- Eating cabbage and carrots is very beneficial for the eyes. These should be eaten raw. It is all right to drink cabbage and carrot juice mixed together or separately.
- If Triphala (an Ayurvedic preparation) is available, you can wash the eyes with 'Triphala water'. Put a teaspoonful of Triphala powder in a glass of water, and let it stay overnight. Strain the water and wash the eyes with it.
- Putting one drop of honey in each eye once a week is also beneficial to the eyes. It causes a bit of irritation, but cleans the eyes.

- After the telemarketer finishes speaking, ask him/her to marry you.
- Tell the telemarketer you are busy at the moment, and ask him/her if he/she will give you his/her home phone number so you can call him/her back.
- Ask them to repeat everything they say, several times.
- Tell them it is dinner time, BUT ask if they would please hold. Put them on your speaker phone while you continue to eat at your leisure. Smack your food loudly and continue with your dinner conversation.
- Tell them that all business goes through your agent, and hand the phone to your five year old child.
- Tell them you are hard of hearing and that they need to speak up...louder. ..louder. ..louder!
- Tell them to speak very slowly because you want to write every word down.
- If they start out with, "How are you today?", say "I'm so glad you asked, because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these problems.... ........"
- Cry out in surprise, "Helen, is that you? I've been hoping you'd call! How is the family?" When they insist they are not Helen, tell them to stop joking. This works especially well if the telemarketer is really MALE.
- Tell the HSBC call center guy to call on your office number. - and give him the ICICI call center number.

Very Interesting!
Having 9's does not make it special.... U can design a clock having only 9 with 9/9 (=1),
(9+9)/9(=2), (9+9+9)/9(=3) and so on...
What makes it really amazing is that... it has only 3 9's in each digit representation...
It's really great calculations and design.... ;-)
If women controlled the world - funny :)

Brand addiction
For a long time,
For a long time,
the newspaper boy's bicycle bell
was my wake-up alarm;
now,
I sit in my balcony before daybreak,
eager for his bell.
For, from 'reader',
I have graduated to 'contributor'(!)
'Contributor' needs a foot-note.
No big deal this
— emailing a few letters to the editor
administering remedies for social maladies
and advice to leaders on running the country,
plus an occasional article or two.
Anxiety about their fate implies waiting,
Anxiety about their fate implies waiting,
with brisk nail-biting, for the paper boy.
Religiously pasting the cuttings
in the clippings file
when some pieces appear is the next logical step.
Which means I can ill afford to miss an issue.
Forced into frequent shifting
between two own houses within the city
located in distant places,
I had difficulty in ensuring regular supply.
One day,
One day,
my favourite paper did not come out
on time owing to some printing snags.
Parcels,
on delayed arrival,
having been picked up by agents
at certain places only,
I made frantic calls to my suppliers
in both the places and then to the newspaper office itself.
The reliability of the assurances
from all I would not miss the pending issue
the next day, to my mind,
appeared to weaken
as the day wore on.
Brand addiction!
I did a 5-km walk along the city's
I did a 5-km walk along the city's
main road in the evening,
stepping into every bookstall
asking for a copy of the day's paper.
None had my favourite paper.
Followed a night with disturbed sleep!
Followed a night with disturbed sleep!
Next morning,
like an expectant father yearning
to see his newborn's face,
I ripped open the edit page of the paper
faithfully brought by the agent
along with the day's issue,
only to find it lacking lustre!
My piece was not there.

DEPRESSION
Depression is one of the most common emotional disorders. It may be manifested in varying degrees: from feelings of slight sadness to utter misery and dejection. Depression is a very unpleasant malady and is far more difficult to cope with than a physical ailment. The growing complexities of modem life and its resultant crises, as well as the mental stress and strain of day-to-day life, usually leads to this disorder.
Depression Symptoms
Acute sense of loss, inexplicable sadness, loss of energy, lack of interest
The most striking symptoms of depression are an acute sense of loss, inexplicable sadness, loss of energy, lack of interest in the world around, and fatigue. A disturbed sleep is a frequent occurrence.
Loss of appetite, giddiness, itching, nausea, agitation, irritability
Other symptoms of depression are loss of appetite, giddiness, itching, nausea, agitation, irritability, impotence or frigidity, constipation, aches and pains all over the body, lack of concentration, and indecisiveness.
Low body temperature, low blood pressure, hot flushes and shivering
Cases of severe depression may be characterised by low body temperature, low blood pressure, hot flushes and shivering.
Causes of Depression
Prolonged periods of anxiety and tension
Prolonged periods of anxiety and tension can cause mental depression.
Excessive and indiscriminate use of drugs
The excessive and indiscriminate use of drugs also leads to faulty assimilation of vitamins and minerals by the body and ultimately causes depression.
Home Remedies for Depression
Depression treatment using Apple
Apple is one of the most valuable remedies for mental depression. The various chemical substances present in this fruit such as vitamin B, phosphorus, and potassium help the synthesis of glutamic acid, which controls the wear and tear of nerve cells. The fruit should be taken with milk and honey. This remedy will act as a very effective nerve tonic and recharge the nerves with new energy and life.
Depression treatment using Cashewnut
The cashewnut is another valuable remedy for general depression and nervous weakness. It is rich in vitamins of the B group, especially thiamine, and is therefore useful in stimulating the appetite and the nervous system. It is also rich in riboflavin which keeps the body active, cheerful, and energetic.
Depression treatment using Asparagus
The root of asparagus has been found beneficial in the treatment of depression. It is highly nutritious and is used as a herbal medicine for mental disorders. It is a good tonic for the brain and nerves. One or two grams of the powder of the dry root of the plant can be taken once daily.

Depression treatment using Rose
An infusion of rose petals should be prepared by mixing 15 gm of rose petals in 250 ml of boiling water. If drunk occasionally, instead of the usual tea and coffee, it is beneficial for treating this condition.
Depression treatment using Vitamin B

Relaxation and Meditation
The patient must also learn the art of relaxation and meditation which will go a long way in curing depression.
