Letter to God



A little boy wanted Rs.50 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing happened.


Finally he decided to write God a letter requesting the Rs.50.


When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God, INDIA, they decided to forward
it to the President of the India as a joke.


The President was so amused, that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy Rs.20.


The President thought this would appear to be a lot of money (Rs.50) to a little boy,
and he did not want to spoil the kid.


The little boy was delighted with Rs.20, and decided to write a thank you note to God,
which read:


"Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money.
However, I noticed that you sent it through the
Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi, and those donkeys deducted Rs.30 as tax ... "

LITTLE BOBBY ( Confessions of a Kid )





Little Bobby came into the kitchen where his mother was making dinner.


His birthday was coming up and he thought this was a good time to tell his mother what he wanted.


Mom, I want a bike for my birthday.


Little Bobby was a bit of a troublemaker.


He had gotten into trouble at school and at home.


Bobby's mother asked him if he thought he deserved to get a bike for his birthday.


Little Bobby, of course, thought he did.


Bobby's mother wanted Bobby to reflect on his behavior over the last year.


Go to your room, Bobby, and think about how you have behaved this year.


Then write a letter to God and tell him why you deserve a bike for your birthday.


Little Bobby stomped up the steps to his room and sat down to write God a letter.


************ **
Letter 1


Dear God,


I have been a very good boy this year and I would like a bike for my birthday.


I want a red one.


Your friend,


Bobby


************ **


Bobby knew that this wasn't true. He had not been a very good boy this year,


So he tore up the letter and started over.


************ **
Letter 2


Dear God,


This is your friend Bobby. I have been a good boy this year and I would like


A red bike for my birthday. Thank you.


Your friend,


Bobby


*********** **


Bobby knew that this wasn't true either. So, he tore up the letter and started again.


************ **


Letter 3


Dear God,


I have been an OK boy this year. I still would really like a bike for my birthday.


Bobby


************ **


Bobby knew he could not send this letter to God either. So, Bobby wrote a fourth letter.


************ **


Letter 4


God,


I know I haven't been a good boy this year. I am very sorry.


I will be a good boy if you just send me a bike for my birthday.


Please! Thank you,


Bobby


************ **


Bobby knew, even if it was true, this letter was not going to get him a bike.


Now, Bobby was very upset. He went downstairs and told his mom that he wanted to go to church.


Bobby's mother thought her plan had worked, as Bobby looked very sad.


Just be home in time for dinner, Bobby's mother told him.


Bobby walked down the street to the church on the corner.


Little Bobby went into the church and up to the altar.


He looked around to see if anyone was there.


Bobby bent down and picked up a statue of the Mary.


He slipped the statue under his shirt and ran out of the church, down the street, into the house, and up to his room.


He shut the door to his room and sat down with a piece of paper and a pen.


Bobby began to write his letter to God.


************ **
Letter 5


God,


I'VE KIDNAPPED YOUR MAMA. IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN, SEND THE BIKE!!!!!!

Footprints



One day a man having conversation with god when his whole life flashed before his eyes as a series of footsteps on the sands of time.


He saw that there were two pairs of footprints, but during the most difficult periods of his life there were only one set of footprints.


He asked god "You said you will be with me throughout this journey, but why have you deserted me during the most critical times of my life??"


To which god answered "Son, I did not desert you, I was always with you...you see only one set of footprints because during those difficult times in your life, I was carrying you"


*******


Another day I was having a similar conversation with my Project Manager (PM) when my whole project flashed before my eyes as a series of footsteps on the sands of time.


I saw that there were two pairs of footprints, but during the most difficult times in the project there were only one set of footprints.


I asked my PM, "You said you will be with me throughout the project, but why have you deserted me during the most critical times of the project??"


To which my PM answered, "Son, I did not desert you, I was always with you... You see only one set of footprints because during those difficult times I was "sitting on your head !!!"

Adam and God



After spending time with Eve, Adam was walking in the Garden with God. Adam told God how much the woman means to him and how blessed he feels to have her. Adam began to ask questions about her.


Adam: Lord, Eve is beautiful. Why did you make her so beautiful?


God: So you will always want to look at her.


Adam: Lord, her skin is so soft. Why did you make her skin so soft?


God: So you will always want to touch her.


Adam: She always smells so good. Lord, why did you make her smell so good?


God: So you will always want to be near her.


Adam: That's wonderful Lord, and I don't want to seem ungrateful, but why did you make her so stupid?


God: So she would love you.

God Bless You



"So, what are your future plans?"

i asked my friend dinesh
whom i met
after a long long time.

"want to do some business." he shared.

"what kind of business?"

"haven't thought about it yet,
but it should be one
which has my zero involvement
one time investment
big cash generation
no employees
no overheads
no taxes
no accounting
no license or permit
no dead stock
competition proof
recession proof
technology proof
ever increasing turnover
yet legal
and moral."

he said all that in one breath
and left me
breathless!

"best of luck!"
is all i could say
tongue-in-cheek.

"and where do you plan to do all this?"
i asked curiously.

"dad had bought a plot
in the heart of the city
two decades ago.
its still lying vacant."

--

we had lunch together
and i took leave.

--

two years passed
and i again happened to visit
my day dreamer friend's city.

he came to the hotel room where i was staying
in a gleaming black luxury sedan.

"it seems you have got the business idea!"
i teased him.

"yes, i did."

and before i could say anything
he added

"the exact business which i wished!"

"what's that?" i asked

"come and see for yourself!" he said.

we got into his luxury chariot
and headed to that empty plot.

there was none.

there
on that ground zero
stood
a small but impressive
temple!

i turned my head towards dinesh.
he smiled.
we removed our shoes
and stepped in.

inside i saw
the idols of three gods
including my favourite one.

i bowed
picked the blessings with my forehead
opened my wallet
took out a note
and just before putting it in the box
looked again
towards my enterprising friend.

he again smiled at me
and whispered

"god bless you!"
