Senior Citizen

An old lady goes to her bank and presents a cheque for Rs 1000/- to the cashier.

Cashier: Dadi ji, you should withdraw such small amounts from the ATM outside. Don't waste a cheque leaf and my time.

Old lady: What's the problem with giving me Rs 1000/- cash?

Cashier: Sorry Dadi ji, can't be done. You either go to the ATM, or increase the amount to be withdrawn.

Old lady: Okay, I want to withdraw all money in my account, keeping a minimum mandatory balance.

The cashier checks her account balance and finds it to be  Rs 10 lakhs 10 Thousand.

Old lady: How much can you give me right now?

Cashier: (checks the bank's cash balance) Dadi ji, I can give you Rs 10 lakhs straight away.

The old lady tears off the earlier cheque of Rs 1000/-, writes a new one for Rs 10 lakhs and hands it to the cashier.

While the young girl is gone to the vault to get the cash, the old lady grabs a cash deposit slip from the public shelf and fills it up.

The young girl returns with the cash, meticulously counts out Rs 10 lakhs, gives it to the old lady and says_ "there you are, Dadi ji. Now you will have to carry this pile home on your own. But count your money before leaving the counter. I won't entertain any complaint later."

The old lady picks out two notes of Rs 500/- from the pile, puts them in her purse and says_ "I trust you, beta, I don't need to count. Now, here's a cash deposit slip. Please deposit Rs 9,99,000/- into my account and give me the stamped and signed counterfoil. And yes, count the cash in my presence."

Moral of the story: 
Don't mess with senior citizens!

6 situations in a relationship when it’s worth lying

  Sometimes lying. In some cases, lying can help you cheer up your partner or even may save your life. 1. When you leave an aggressive partner. If you have decided to get out of a destructive relationship and you’re preparing to step back, you’re free to lie. Your main task is to draw his attention to save money, to gather your things, to make contacts with people who will help you get out of this relation. The aggressor’s reaction is unpredictable if he understands that the victim is escaping. Therefore, it is better to stay alive and healthy than fair and honest. #2. When the partner asks, “Have you ever loved someone more than you love me?” If you have not previously agreed on absolute honesty, then answer “no”. Let’s admit that there was a stronger feeling in your life than the current one. Who will feel better if you tell the truth? #3. When you make a surprise Usually, the man who a surprise is being prepared may open his third eye and also the ability to see through the wall...

Spirituality & Death

What is spirituality? What is death? Do we live on after death? What happens to us? Does it even make sense to ask questions like “What is my future after death”? My spiritual quest began at a young age, although I didn’t know that it was called spirituality. But I dwelt deeper into life due to my love for Quantum Mechanics. I will write a blog on that some other time. But for now, I’ll stick to the topic of my blog. Spirituality is anything beyond the physical dimension and not for the faint-hearted. Because what any yogic practice does, is that it dilutes your strong likes and dislikes, perceptions or ego etc… So, many people fear loosing themselves in the process as they are too attached with themselves or the world around them. But that’s just half of the story. We all have a “warehouse” of Karma that needs to be worked out. Our past and present life karma, likes and dislikes, desires for material pleasures (even spiritual pleasures) keeps us in bondage and we end up getting re-inc...
