Meri band muthi

-
मेरी बंद मुठियाँ देखकर जिस-जिस ने मुझसे पूछा, "इनमें क्या है ?" मैंने ईमानदारी से बताया , "इनमें क्या है ? इनमें कदम्ब का फूल है। " और लोगों ने इस पर सहज विश्वास कर लिया। वो तो जब मेरी मुट्ठियों से रक्त कि बूंदे चूने लगीं तब लोगों ने मुझे अविश्वास कि नज़रों से घूरा , मुझसे कहा , "मुट्ठियाँ तो खोलो। " और जब मैंने मुट्ठियाँ खोलीं तो उनमें कंटकीला धतूरे का फल निकला ! मैं शरमाया , मेरा झूठ पकड़ा गया , मुझे अपने पर आश्चर्य हुआ , क्यूंकि मैंने अपनी आखें खोलकर कदम्ब का फूल अपनी मुट्ठियों में लिया था। शायद मैं अपनी भावातिशयता में काँटे को फूल समझा , पर काँटा , काँटा ही कैसे रह गया , फूल क्यूँ नहीं नहीं बना , उसने तो एक कवी का रक्त पिया था। ~ हरिवंश राय बच्चन

Looking for a wife

-
Fred is 34 years old and he is still single. One day a friend asked, "Why aren't you married? Can't you find a woman who will be a good wife?" Fred replied, "Actually, I've found many women that I have wanted to marry, but when I bring them home to meet my parents, my mother doesn't like them." His friend thinks for a moment and says, "I've got the perfect solution, just find a girl who's just like your mother." A few months later they meet again and his friend says, "Did you find the perfect girl? Did your mother like her?" With a frown on his face, Fred answers, "Yes, I found the perfect girl. She was just like my mother. You were right, my mother liked her very much." The friend said, "Then what's the problem?" Fred replied, "My father doesn't like her." -

Wrist Bands

In Korea, when a patient is taken to hospital, a white wristband is placed on their left arm. These wristbands contain the patient's name and information. When a patient dies, a red wristband is placed on their right arm and they are taken to the morgue. In one particular hospital in Korea, a young doctor was working the night shift. It was around 2 AM when he finished his last operation. He was on the 5th floor and pressed the button for the elevator. The doctor was tired after a long day and was looking forward to the end of his shift. At 2 AM, the hospital was very quiet. Most of the patients were asleep and many of the nurses had already gone home. He entered the elevator and there was just one other person there. He casually chatted with the woman while the elevator descended. The elevator stopped at the basement and the door opened. They saw an old man dressed in a white gown standing there. The old man was about to get in when the doctor suddenly slammed the close button and
