The children God forgot

 Been reading several political posts lately.

I have a reaction.

My question is to my countrymen.

Will you learn or will politics continue to drug reason ,it's success riding on our emotional buttons getting pushed?


I am completely apolitical.

I have never voted in my entire life.Never will.


Vote and support whoever u wish to.


But look at yourself.Look at the country.Decide events.Not individuals.Contest content not it's creator.


I only pray for my country and humanity with folded hands:


साहिब नज़र रखना, मौला नज़र रखना

तेरा करम सबको मिले, सबकी फिकर रखना

साहिब नज़र रखना, मौला नज़र रखना


ना आदमी की आदमी झेले गुलामियाँ

ना आदमी से आदमी मांगे सलामियाँ

जो फर्क पैदा हो रहे वो फर्क गर्क हों

सबको बराबर बांट ये धरती ये आसमान

कोई भी ना हो दर्द में, सबकी खबर रखना

साहिब नज़र रखना, मौला नज़र रखना


सब सर उठा के चल सकें सबको ये बल मिले

कोई किसी आवाज़ को, दाता कुचल ना दे

यहाँ काम भी सबको मिले, आराम भी सबको

मेहनत करे जो आदमी, मेहनत का फल मिले

हर बोल पे, हर बात पे, अपना असर रखना

साहिब नज़र रखना, मौला नज़र रखना

If public service is not about this ,it's about nothing.

Never fail to get tears in my eyes listening to this song and seeing the plight of the gullible,the destiny crushed  and the manipulated.


The children God forgot.


Make Him remember.By reason.

Till there remains one last honest tear,the blessed aren't done.

OUT OF THE BOX.THE MENSA STORY.

 Some Years Ago, there was a Mensa Convention in San Francisco. Mensa, as you know, is A National Organization for People who have An IQ of 140 or Higher.

Several of The Mensa Members went out for Lunch at a Local Cafe.

When they sat down, 1 of them discovered that The Salt Shaker contained Pepper & The Pepper Shaker was full of Salt.

How could they Swap The Contents of The 2 Bottles without spilling any & using only The Implements At Hand? Clearly this was A Job for Mensa Minds.

The Group debated the Problem, Presented Ideas & finally came up with A Brilliant Solution involving A Napkin, a Straw & an Empty Saucer.

They called The Waitress over, ready to Dazzle Her with Their Solution. “Miss”, they said,” We couldn’t help but notice that The Pepper Shaker contains Salt &

The Salt Shaker — “. But before they could finish, the Waitress interrupted, “Oh! Sorry about that”.

She leaned over The Table, Unscrewed the Caps of Both Bottles & Switched Them.

There was Dead Silence at The Mensa Table.

WHAT REALLY MATTERS

 Read a wonderful story recently :

Billionaire Femi Otedola  in a telephone interview, was asked :

"Sir what made you really happy in life?"

Femi said:

four stages-

The first stage was to accumulate wealth .


Then came the second stage of collecting valuables and items.


Then came the third stage .That  was when I was holding 95% of diesel supply in Nigeria and Africa. I was also the largest vessel owner in Africa and Asia. 


The fourth stage was the time a friend of mine asked me to buy wheelchair for some disabled children.

At the friend's request, I immediately bought the wheelchairs.

There I gave these wheel chairs to these children with my own hands. I saw the strange glow of happiness on the faces of these children. I saw them all sitting on the wheelchairs, moving around and having fun.


When I decided to leave one of the kids grabbed my legs. I tried to free my legs gently but the child stared at my face and held my legs tightly.

I bent down and asked the child: Do you need something else?


This child said:

"I want to remember your face so that when I meet you in heaven, I will be able to recognize you and thank you once again"



What would you be remembered for after you leave that office or place?



Will anyone desire to see your face again where it all matters?
