Another Gem from Buddhism

The Buddha called Sujata to him and spoke kindly to her, "Sujata, there are seven types of wives a man may have. Which of them are you?"

"What are the seven types of wives, Venerable Sir?" asked Sujata.

"Sujata, there are bad and undesirable wives. There is a wife who is troublesome. She is wicked, bad tempered, pitiless, and not faithful to her husband."

"There is a wife who is like a thief. She wastes the money earned by her husband."

"There is a wife who is like a master. She is lazy, and thinks only about herself. She is cruel and lacking in compassion, always scolding her husband or gossiping."

"Sujata, there are the good and praiseworthy wives. There is a wife who is like a mother. She is kind and compassionate and treats her husband like her son and is careful with his money."

"There is a wife who is like a sister. She is respectful towards her husband, just as a younger sister to her brother, she is modest and obedient to her husband's wishes."

"There is a wife who is like a friend. She rejoices at the sight of her husband, just like a friend who has not seen her friend for a long time. She is of noble birth, virtuous and faithful."

"There is a wife who is like a handmaid. She behaves as an understanding wife when her shortcomings are pointed out. She remains calm and does not show any anger although her husband uses some harsh words. She is obedient to her husband's wishes."

The Blessed one asked, "Sujata, which type of wife are you like, or would you wish to be like?"

And the Queen Shall Be Back!

"Aaja Nachle" is undoubtedly one of the most awaited films of this year. And why not, the dance diva, Madhuri Dixit is back at what she does the best! She is looking fantabulous in the tile track.

Bravo India!

What a victory! Simply praiseworthy! We are the Twenty20 World Cup champions. A tight match and even tighter control on the nerves displayed by our new captain, the cool one, MS Dhoni. This calls for a double celebration, one for the World Cup and second for our newly found aggressive captain Dhoni!

And India still holds the record of winning 'all' the matches against their arch rivals Pakistan in any World Cup tournament. Awesome, isn't it?

As for the Indian Idol 3, Prashan Tamang was crowned the new successor of the musical throne. Congratulations to him. Frankly speaking, Amit Paul was a better and a more deserving candidate. His singing was nearly flawless and absolutely melodious. But, the better one isn't always the winner! What say ya?

Magnetic Keys

Wow. Now this is what I need! After all, I keep pulling off the letters from the keyboard. And then fitting the key back into its socket is a huge task. Magnetic keys can may my job easier. I would definitely look out for this one.

I love it when technology helps ME.
