If you love the English language, you will enjoy this verse
The Mysteries of Anatomy
Where can a man buy a cap for his knee,
Or the key to a lock of his hair?
Can his eyes be called an academy?
Because there are pupils there?
In the crown of your head can jewels be found?
Who crosses the bridge of your nose?
If you wanted to shingle the roof of your mouth,
Would you use the nails on your toes?
Can you sit in the shade of the palm of your hand,
Or beat the drum of your ear?
Can the calf in your leg eat the corn off your toe,
Then why not grow corn on the ear?
Can the crook in your elbow be sent to jail?
If so, just what did he do?
How can you sharpen your shoulder blades?
I'll be darned, if I know. Do you.......???
How people turn out to be
The heartthrob of the school, is a man grim and somber.
That lanky little girl, is now a weightlifter.
The topper of the class, is a happy homemaker.
Back bencher of the lot, is an entrepreneur.
The flamboyant fashionista, became a dreaded lawyer.
Oft ignored average Joe, turned a well known writer.
The one who failed math paper, is a fashion designer
And one who often got to stand outside the class, is a respected Army officer.
* The reunion taught me how, people came with many layers and tell me why should we never, judge a book by its cover.
Some beautiful answers and way of thinking of the Turkish poet Jalaluddin Rumi
1. What is poison?
* Anything which is more than our necessity is poison. It may be Power, Wealth, Hunger, Ego,
Greed, Laziness, Love, Ambition, Hate or Anything.
2. What is fear?
* Non acceptance of Uncertainty. If we accept that Uncertainty, it becomes Adventure.
3. What is envy?
* Non acceptance of Good in Others,. If we accept that Good, it becomes Inspiration.
4. What is anger?
* Non acceptance of things which Are Beyond Our Control. If we accept, it becomes Tolerance.
5. What is hatred?
* Non acceptance of a Person as he is. If we accept the person unconditionally, it becomes Love.

Had got up at our usual time, despite being a Sunday, the chores and was ready well in time. It was a quiet day.
