```The Pebble Story....

The Pebble story

Many years ago in a small Indian village, a farmer had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a village Moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful daughter. So he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the proposal. So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let providence decide the matter. He told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag. If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debt would be forgiven. If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven. But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail. All the villagers were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag. He then asked the girl to pick a pebble from the bag. Now, imagine you were standing in the field. What would you have done if you were the girl? If you had to advise her, what would you have told her?

Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:

1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.
2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose the money-lender as a cheat.
3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order to save her father from his debt and imprisonment.

Take a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with the hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral and logical thinking. The girl's dilemma can not be solved with traditional logical thinking.
Think of the consequences if she chooses the above logical answers.
What would you recommend to the Girl to do? ;;;;;;;

Answer----

Well, what she did was:

The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles "Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked." Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had picked the white one. And since the money-lender dared not admit his dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an extremely advantageous one.

MORAL OF THE STORY:
Most complex problems do have a solution. It is only that we don't attempt to think

*How To Keep Love ALIVE?

How to keep love ALIVE?

Mother and Daughter were walking along the beach. After a while, the Daughter asked:” How do you keep love alive?” The mother looked at her daughter and replied:” Take some sand in your hand and squeeze it hard...." The girl did as she was told, but the harder she squeezed the sand the faster it escaped.

"But like this the sands falls out!”

"Yes," said the mother. “Now open your hand wide..."

The girl opened her hand and the wind blew away the remaining sand.

"I can't keep it in my hand that way either!”

“Now pick up some sand again and leave your hand half open, like a spoon..." said the mother, "Closed enough to protect it and open enough so it won't escape."

The girl tried it and saw that the sand remained in her hand, protected from the wind. That's how you make love last...

Must read a Poem @the end of these "AURAT" pictures......

औरत

अश्क बरसाए तो सावन की झडी है औरत ।
मुस्कराए तो सितारों की लडी है औरत ।।

लुत्फ आता है वहां ये जहां हिलमिल के रहें ।
आदमी है जो पकोडा तो कढी है औरत ।।

आदमी जब इसे पाता है तो बन जाता है मर्द।
कोई टानिक कोई बूटी जडी है औरत ।।

सिर्फ औरत की ही हर बात चले जिस घर में ।
उसमें हर आदमी छोटा है बडी है औरत ।।

गैर की हो तो नहीं रूपमती से कुछ कम ।
और अपनी हो तो लगता है सडी है औरत ।।

सुबह होते ही वो बच्चों पे बरस पडती है ।
अपने घर में तो अलाराम घडी है औरत ।।

चाहे झांसी का किला हो के हो वो चिकमंगलूर ।
कोई मैदान हो मर्दो से लडी है औरत ।।

लोग इसे चांद से सूरज से हसीं कहते है ।
बावजूद इसके अंधेरे में पडी है औरत ।।

इसमें कुछघ्क नही सब कहते है 'हीरा' मुझको ।
पर मेरे दिल की अंगूठी में जडी है औरत ।।
