Daily Joke- Money

Bim and Ali were touring their brand new house. It was a

house that Bim had paid for with his money, a fact of which
he constantly reminded Ali. In each room of the house he said
to her : "Ali, if it were not for my money, we would not be here."
Ali didn't say a word.
That afternoon a truck delivered a load of new furniture...
furniture which Bim paid for with his money. After the
furniture was in its place, they toured the house again. As they
observed each room, beautifully appointed and magnificently
decorated, Bim reminded her: "Ali, if it were not for my money,

this furniture would not be here."
Again, Ali was silent.
Late in the afternoon another truck came with a special piece of
furniture which was to be the focal point of the family room. It
was a combination stereo-television-computer center all wrapped
into one gorgeous piece of furniture. Bim paid for it with
his money. When it was in place, Bim again said: "Ali, if
it were not for my money, that beautiful electronics system
would not be here."
Finally, Ali spoke: "Honey, I don't want to make you feel bad, but...

if it were not for your money, I wouldn't be here either!"

*Relationship & Trust*

*Relationship & Trust*

Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.

The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, "Sweetheart,
please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river."

The little girl said,

"No, Dad. You hold my hand."

"What's the difference?
Asked the puzzled father.

"There's a big difference," replied the little girl.

"If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may
let your hand go.

But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you
will never let my hand go."

Moral of the story :-

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its
bond. So hold the hand of the person whom you love rather than expecting
them to hold yours...

GREAT INDIAN HEROES LESLIE CLAUDIUS, 85, INDIA'S GREATEST OLYMPIAN

(The writer is a former Indian Civil Servant and presently a corporate management consultant ,a senior tax advisor, and advisor deemed universities-civil services coaching classes)

"I feel very proud today at the way India trounced France 7-1 to qualify for the Olympics at London this year. At last India is on the way to regain the lost glory of hockey at the Olympics".

Leslie Claudius, one of India's greatest hockey players at the Olympics, joint highest individual medalist by an Indian-3 golds and a silver along with fellow Olympian Udham Singh.

A few weeks back, even as Leslie Claudius celebrated his 85th birthday, India gave him a fitting present by qualifying for the Olympics after gap of 8 years, the joy of which was expressed by the former Indian Olympic hockey team captain in the lines quoted at the beginning of this article. The Olympic hosts went a step further and in a rare honour for India's greatest Olympian, long forgotten in his own country and home land, London named Bushey Station on the city's famous metro after Leslie Claudius, one of only 2 Indians to be honored and among 360 other famous Olympians across the world. Now with the Olympics under way, it is worth recollecting the achievements of one of India's greatest sportsmen. Indian have creditable achievements at the Olympics, Norman Pritchard with 2 silvers prior to independents, Leander Paes with India's Sole medal at the Sydney Olympics, Neville D' Souza who was India's greatest footballer in 1956 Melbourne Olympics and almost won for India a near bronze medal finish, numerous other hockey players but clearly the greatest among them all is clearly Leslie Walter Claudius, a living legend living anonymously in the bye-lanes of an old Anglo Indian Colony in Calcutta.

Leslie Claudius was born in Bilaspur in erstwhile Madhya Bharat province (now Madhya Bharat province (now Madhya Pradesh) to a simple middle class Anglo Indian family. At the age of 18 he joined the Bengal Nagpur Railways at Kolkata as part of their football team. Like my famed St. Mary's SSC Mazagaon Mumbai colleague Somaya Manepanda, who twice captained Indian hockey team in recent years, he too switched from football to hockey. Leslie was part of the 1948 Gold winning hockey team at London. His versatile skills led many experts to remark that Leslie would originally be part of any world class team, the other 10 players would have to go through tough selection process. In 1949 he joined my parent department Indian Customs and continued playing and even coaching the customs team which did very well at all national level competitions. He won two more Olympic golds in the then golden hockey era at Helsinki in 1952 and Melbourne in 1956 and a silver at Rome in 1960 where in dramatic last moments India lost the final to Pakistan. He married Vilia in 1951, a happy marriage with four sons. He lost his son Robert who also played hockey and represented India at International level in the year 1978. Tragically His Olympic medals were stolen by some workers doing up his modest house in Calcutta. A gentlemen to the core, the large hearted Leslie refused to lodge a complaint or even sit and grudge the losses with a Christ like quote " Let the workers keep the medals, perhaps their need is greater than mine". An officer known for his impeccable integrity and honesty, he retired as an Assistant Commissioner from the Customs Department in 1984. Since then livind within meager savings with a host of health ailments, he has been struggling in his twilight years, and a few years back the West Bengal Government footed his medical bill worth a lakh of rupees as a humanitarian gesture. The man who won India three Olympic golds and a silver- the best ever performance by an Indian at the Olympics along with another hockey player Udham Singh.- The brave Olympian is ever his smiling self, ever enthusiastic about India's prospects at the Olympics at this age of 85. I will be writing to Derek O' Brien, MP and Trinamool Congress spokesperson to honor the greatest achiever of his Anglo Indian community in his lifetime and in Calcutta where his party is in power. I will be writing to Member (Personnel) of Central Board of Central Excise and Customs also to honor the greatest sportsperson of our department likewise, and also sanction some amount from the welfare fund committed to such officers who have done the country and the department proud. The welfare fund arises from portion of amount realized from sale proceeds of confiscated gold and silver smuggled across the seas, and is meant for causes such as these. A hockey stadium in Calcutta, Madhya Pradesh or anywhere in India should be named after this great Olympian living legend. Our Christian educational institutions and the Church should acknowledge such great Christian heroes and give our youth much better role models than Pit-Bulls and Lady Gagas.

Meanwhile here's enjoying the metro ride at the station named after Leslie Claudius, and here's wishing Leslie's dream of a repeat of India's Olympic hockey triumph in 1948 of which he was a star player being repeated this year in 2012 - Cheers and all the best to the entire Indian contingent at the London Olympics .let the soothing music of Jana Gana Mana be heard often at the award ceremonies.Jai Hind!

Lack of HIV test kit in tamilnadu

NRHM central government fund Were refund the unspent money in
crore's, its most burden for society,
why they don't analise?

NRHM were get the approval or discuss (higher authority, like health
secretary, Health minister) to the concern person and utilize the
unspent fund for getting HIV testing Kits,but the staff members
convey the issue to that concern person, so the testing centers
running without kit, its opportunity to increase the positive rate,

The centre's staffs also never convey, the people needs and issues to
the concern (higher authority), they having only aim to getting
salary and selfish, don't thing about the people burden,they never
work with their sole, they don't think about gross root level
problems.

The main point i want to share with you thats" why the AIDS Programmes
start under the society registration act (without direct government)
because of the work should implement fast manner but the SACS and NACO
also working lazy they don't think about the people burden,

The society currently facing the problem is Lack of kit, The adult
come to the testing centre (through voluntary with suspection, through
ngo's referral) for HIV test but the centres not having available
kit so the adult create new infections (without his knowledge) and
getting more health problem without take treatment its lead to death
conditions, lack of kit lead to create more new infection and death
rate .

When they get solution for this?
