A man from Bihar was away from his wife for four (4) years while his wife was in Patna (Bihar).
At the end of 4 years he distributed sweets to his colleagues in office stating that his wife had delivered a son.
His colleagues were quite shocked and they asked how this "Happy event" happened when he had not seen his wife for four years...
The man said it is common in Bihar that neighbours take care of the wife (good Samaritans) when men are away.
The colleagues asked him, "What name will you give to the son?"
The man explained, "If its the second neighbour who has taken care,then the name would be "DWIVEDI";
If it is the third neighbour then it would be "TRIVEDI",
If it is the fourth neighbour then it would be "CHATURVEDI";
If its the fifth neighbour then it would be "PANDEY"...
After listening to this, questions followed.
What! if it is a mixture of neighbours?
"Then the boy would be named "MISHRA"...
And what if the wife is too shy to tell the name of the neighbour?
Then it would be "SHARMA"...
But what if she refuses to divulge the name of the neighbour?
Then the name of the child would be "GUPTA"...
If she does not remember the name then?
"It is YAAD-AV"
But who knows whether the child resulted from a rape?
Then it will be named "DOSHI"...
Finally, if the child happened because of wife's burning desire?
Then he will be named "JOSHI"...
And if the whole country had made efforts for the happy arrival?....
"DESHPANDEY."

You Are Wonderful
The following story captured our heart. It happened several years ago in the Paris opera house. A famous singer had been contracted to sing, and ticket sales werebooming. In fact, the night of the concert found the house packed and every ticket sold.
The feeling of anticipation and excitement was in the air as the house manager took the stage and said, Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your enthusiastic support. I am afraid that due to illness, the man whom you've all come to hear will not be performing tonight. However, we have found a suitable substitute we hope will provide you with comparable entertainment.
The crowd groaned in disappointmentand failed to hear the announcer mention the stand-in's name. The environment turned from excitement to frustration.
The stand-in performer gave the performance everything he had. When he had finished,there was nothing but an uncomfortable silence. No one applauded. Suddenly, from the balcony, a little boy stood up and shouted, Daddy, I think you are wonderful! The crowd broke into thunderous applause.
We all need people in our Lives who are willing to stand up once in a while and say, I think you are wonderful.
And at times others are expecting this from you.
Are you telling them how wonderful you are . . .??????????
Say it now and make someone's day more pleasant.
