2)Mallu boarding a plane.
Air hostess is smiling.
Mallu: Tatti Vandi!
Air hostess (shocked): What???
Mallu: Tatti Vandi!!!
Air hostess calls steward.

Mallu: Tatti Vandi!!!
Steward: What????

Mallu thrusts his boarding pass below the steward’s nose.

Steward looks at it and bursts out laughing. Composes himself, and says: Sir, seat 31 D is in the center. This way please!

3) Two monks were returning to the monastery in the evening. It had rained and there were puddles of water on the roadsides. At one place a beautiful young woman was standing unable to walk across because of a deep puddle of water.

The elder of the two monks went up to her and lifted her in his arms, carried her over the puddle and left her on the other side of the road. Afterwards, he continued on his way to the monastery.

The younger monk was both confused and slightly upset by the elder monk’s actions.

Later in the evening the younger monk came to the elder monk and testily said, “Sir, as monks, isn’t it true that we cannot touch women?”

The elder monk answered, “Yes, brother.”

The younger monk then responded, “But then, sir, how is it that you lifted that women on the roadside?”

The elder monk smiled at him and said, “Brother, I left her on the other side of the road, but you are still carrying her.”

4)A small boy named Hameed lived in a village in Morocco. None of his classmates liked him because of his stupidity, especially his teacher, who was always yelling at him, “You are driving me crazy Hameed!!!!!”

One day Hameed’s mother came into school to check on how he was doing. The teacher told his mother honestly, that her son is simply a disaster, getting very low marks and even she had never seen such a dumb boy in her entire teaching career!!!! The mother was shocked at the feedback and withdrew her son from the school & even moved to another town!!!!!

25 years later, the teacher was diagnosed with an incurable cardio disease! All the doctors strongly advised her to have an open heart operation, which only one surgeon could perform. Left with no other options, the teacher decided to have the operation, which was successful.

When she opened her eyes after the surgery she saw a handsome doctor smiling down at her! She wanted to thank him, but could not talk. Her face started to turn blue, she raised her hand, trying to tell him something but eventually died!

The doctor was shocked and was trying to work out what went wrong, when he turned around he saw our friend Hameed, working as a cleaner in the clinic, who had unplugged the oxygen equipment to connect his Cell Phone!!!!!

If you were thinking that Hameed became a doctor, its because you have been watching too many hindi movies or have been reading too many motivational books.

😳Tell Me Why❓❓❓

Why is Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel called “Iron Man of India”?

Sardar Patel once said if we have power than we have to use to achieve goal. If these power is stopping you to achiving goal, you have to immediately leave this power which leads you to wrong direction. He met all states king and impressed with his devoteeness to the nation and ask them to join biggest democracy of the world. some states have declined to be part of India so that sardar has to use the power to make them surrender their states for India like example of Hydrabadi Nizam. Sardar said be part of India or get ready to fight against biggest army of the world. Kashmir issue left behind only when Nehru did not listen Sardar Patel and we are still suffering ugly policy of first prime minister of India (Jawaharlal Nehru).He did not hesitate in using the policy of ‘Saam-Daam-Dand-Bhed’ (friendship, give-and-take, punishment, and divide-and-rule) to achive goal that help building India.

🤔 How it works ⁉

How a copper T works to prevent pregnancy

The copper-coated IUD prevents pregnancy by not allowing the sperm to fertilize the egg. It may also make it harder for a fertilized egg to implant in the uterus.
The copper IUD works by stopping the sperm and egg meeting and changing the lining of the uterus/womb. This makes it difficult for a fertilised egg to stick to the lining to start a pregnancy. When it is first inserted (put in) it starts working straight away to prevent pregnancy.

The Copper T-380A is an extremely effective, safe, long lasting, rapidly reversible method of contraception that does not interfere with intercourse, is not subject to forgetfulness, and once inserted, is not subject to changes in medical supply or access to health care.

Agastya appears in numerous itihasas and puranas including the major Ramayana and Mahabharata.

Agastya is traditionally attributed to be the author of many Sanskrit texts such as the Agastya Gita found in Varaha Purana, Agastya Samhita found embedded in Skanda Purana, and the Dvaidha-Nirnaya Tantra text.
