Maharashtra Mitra Mandal Library

Dear Friend of the Library,

We sent this message out to all our members - and I was very keen that you see this too because you were such a supporter of our library..I was sure you would be happy to read this. Today is also an extra special day because we now have 600 members at the library - of which some 250 are members who do not pay - they cannot pay, but they have full access to the library and to all its activities.

We are all very happy and have now decided to enlarge the library to include a prominent adult section - which will by no means be exhaustive of course.  So the shelves are getting done and we plan to open on the first anniversary of the Children's library.
 
I have a request : imagine that you had just ONE shelf on which to house your books and that that shelf carried just 25 books. Which would those be?  Fiction and non-fiction. Would you send me that list please?  When you have the time?

Thank you!

Also, we are collecting books that you or your friends may want to donate - on Saturday, the 28th of April 2012, at the Library, from 10 am to 7 pm. Would love to see you there, with or without books!

warm regards,

vibha

We never do this because we have brains !!!!


It was a Sports Stadium.

Eight Children were standing on the track to participate in a running event.

* Ready! * Steady! * Bang !!!

With the sound of Toy pistol,

All eight girls started running.

Hardly had they covered ten to fifteen steps,

when one of the smaller girls slipped and fell down,

Due to bruises and pain she started crying.

When the other seven girls heard the little girl cry they stopped running, stood for a while and turned back.

Seeing the girl on the track they all ran to help.

One among them bent down, picked her up and kissed her gently

And enquired as to how she was..

They then lifted the fallen girl pacifying her.

Two of them held her firmly while all seven joined hands together and walked together towards the winning post........ ..

There was pin drop silence at the spectator's stand.

Officials were shocked.

Slow claps multiplied to thousands as the spectators stood up in appreciation.

Many eyes were filled with tears

And perhaps even God's!

YES.!! This happened in Hyderabad [ INDIA ], recently!

The sport was conducted by
National Institute of Mental Health.

All these special girls had come to participate in this event

They were spastic children.

Yes, they were Mentally Challenged.

What did they teach the WORLD.?

Teamwork.?

Humanity.?

Equality among all.??

Successful people help others who are
slow in learning

So that they are not left far behind.

This is really a great message... Spread it.!

The Wine Taster.

A drunkard with ragged, dirty look came to apply for the position.

The director of the factory wondered how to send him away. They tested him.


They gave him a glass with a drink.


He tried it and said, "It’s red wine, a muscat, three years old, grown on a north slope, matured in steel containers."


"That’s correct", said the boss.


Another glass. "It’s red wine , cabernet, eight years old, a southwestern slope, oak barrels."

"Correct." The director was astonished.

He winked at his secretary to suggest something. She brought in a glass of urine.

The alcoholic tried it. "It’s a blonde, 26 years old, pregnant in the third month. And if you don’t give me the job, I’ll tell who’s the father!"

WALMART HAS EVERY THING

WALMART HAS EVERY THING

One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe
says to Mike behind him,

"My elbow hurts like hell. I guess I'd better see a doctor."

"Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike replies.

"There's a diagnostic computer down at Wal-Mart. Just give it a urine

sample and the computer will tell you what's wrong and what to do about

it.


It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars . . . A lot cheaper than a

doctor."

So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Wal-Mart.

He deposits ten dollars, and the computer lights up and asks for the urine

sample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits.

Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout:

"You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy

activity. It will improve in two weeks. Thank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart."

That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Joe began

wondering if the computer could be fooled.

He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from

his wife and daughter, and a sperm sample for good measure.

Joe hurries back to Wal-Mart, eager to check the results. He deposits ten

dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results.

The computer prints the following:

1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. (Bay 9)

2. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo. (Bay 7)

3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.

4. Your wife is pregnant. Twins. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer.

5 If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better!

Women are so much better at financial planning than men.

 

Financial planning....


Image001


Dan was a single guy living at home with his father and working in the family business.

When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed to find a wife with whom to share his fortune.

One evening, at an investment meeting, he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away.

"I may look like just an ordinary guy," he said to her, "but in just a few years, my father will die and I will inherit $200 million."

Impressed, the woman asked for his business card and three days later, she became his stepmother.

Women are so much better at financial planning than men.

 

Breakfast Lunch and Dinner

 

Breakfast Lunch and Dinner

It seems that a young couple had just gotten married
and spent their first wedding night with the young man's
parents. In the morning, his mother got up and prepared
a lovely breakfast including freshly cut flowers from
her garden and gourmet food.

She went to the bottom the stairs and called everyone
to come down to breakfast. Everyone came down, except
the newlyweds. After a long wait, the family ate without
them.

The mother said, "I wonder why they never came down
to eat?"

The groom's young brother said, "Mommy, I think..."

"Oh, shut up. I don't want to hear what you think!"
said the mother, not wanting to hear any inappropriate
comments from the eight-year-old.

At lunch time, the mother again prepared a wonderful
spread and again called the young couple to eat. Five
minutes went by and she called again. After another
long wait, the family proceeded to eat.

As she was cleaning the table, mother once again said,
"I wonder why they never came down to eat?  Once again,
the younger brother started to speak, but mother immediately
shut him up.

At dinner the same thing happened. After the meal,
mother once again questioned why they had not come down
to eat all day. The young lad once again said, "Mommy
I think..."

"Well, what is it that you think?" asked the mother
rather testily.

"I think that when my big brother came down to get the
Vaseline last night, he got my model airplane glue instead!"

INSTALLING HUSBAND


INSTALLING HUSBAND !  
 A woman writes to the IT Technical support.....

Dear Tech Support,


Last year I upgraded from
Boyfriend 5.0  to  Husband 1.0   & I noticed a distinct slowdown in the overall system performance, particularly in the flower  &  jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under  Boyfriend 5.0 .

In addition,  Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5  &   Personal Attention 6.5,   &  then installed undesirable programs such as NEWS 5.0,  MONEY 3.0   & CRICKET 4.1 .

Conversation 8.0
 no longer runs,  &   Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.

Please note that I have tried running  Nagging 5.3  to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?

Signed,

DEAR Madam,  


First, keep in mind,
Boyfriend 5.0  is an Entertainment Package, while  Husband 1.0  is an operating system.  

Please enter command:
ithoughtyoulovedme. html &  try to download Tears 6.2 &  do not forget to install the  Guilt 3.0  update. If that application works as designed,  Husband1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0   &   Flowers 3.5..  

However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause
Husband  1.0  to default to Silence 2.5  or  Beer 6.1 .
Please note that  
Beer 6.1  is a very bad program that will download the  Snoring Loudly Beta.  

Whatever you do,  
DO NOT  in  any circumstances install  Mother-In-Law 1.0  (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)

In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the
Boyfriend 5.0 .  These are unsupported applications &  will crash  Husband 1.0 .

In summary,  Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory &  cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory  & performance.  
We recommend:  
Cooking 3.0   &   Good Looks 7.7.  

Good Luck Madam!
