IQBAL HUSSEIN'S SITE

God doesn't give you the people you want; He gives you the people you NEED...to help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be.

NOW , YOU'RE ON THE CLOCK!!!!

IN 9 MINUTES SOMETHING WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY,

BUT YOU HAVE TO TELL 9 SISTERS YOU LOVE THEM -- GO!!!!

One Flaw In Women

Women have strengths that amaze men...

They bear hardships and they carry burdens,

but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.

They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy

and laugh when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in.

They stand up to injustice.

They don't take "no" for an answer

when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have.

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally.

They cry when their children excel

and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about

a birth or a wedding.

Their hearts break when a friend dies.

They grieve at the loss of a family member,

yet they are strong when they

think there is no strength left.

They know that a hug and a kiss

can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you

to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what

makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love.

They have compassion and ideas.

They give moral support to their

family and friends.

Women have vital things to say

and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,

IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
Please pass this along to all your women friends and relatives to remind them just how amazing they are.

A JOB WELL DONE- SOMETHING TO LEARN FROM IN LIFE

AkshayaPatra Trust - Story of N Krishnan

"I don't feed beggars. They can look after themselves. The mentally ill won't ask anyone for food or money," says N Krishnan who has been feeding them thrice a day for the past seven years.

cid:1.1741858217@web80008.mail.sp1.yahoo.com

Left 5-star job to feed the mentally ill

N Krishnan feeds 400 mentally ill people on the streets of Madurai three times a day, every day, all 365 days of the year. The 28-year-old has been doing this for seven years via a charity called the Akshaya Trust.

A look into the kitchen reveals a spotlessly clean room.. Sparkling vessels stacked neatly, groceries and provisions all lined up in rows -- rice, dal, vegetables, spices -- all of the best quality. One would think this was the kitchen of a five star hotel.

Maybe Krishnan achieves that effect because he was once a chef at a five star hotel in Bengaluru.

"Today's lunch is curd rice, with home made pickle, please taste it," he says, serving me on a plate made of dried leaves. The food is excellent.

"I change the menu for different days of the week. They will get bored if I serve the same food every day," he says with an enthusiastic and infectious smile.

cid:2.1741858217@web80008.mail.sp1.yahoo.com

Krishnan cooks breakfast, lunch and dinner with the help of two cooks. He takes it himself to his wards on the street each day.

"I don't feed beggars. They can look after themselves. The mentally ill won't ask anyone for food or money. They don't move around much too. I find them in the same place every day."

That morning he put the food in a large vessel, the pickle in a smaller one and loaded it into a Maruti van donated by a Madurai philanthropist.

Ten minutes later we stopped near a man lying on the ground by a high wall. Krishnan put the food next to him. The man refused to even look at it, but grabbed the water bottle and drank eagerly. "He will eat the food later, looks like he was very thirsty," said Krishnan.

At the next stop, he laid the dry leaf-plate and served the food. He then scooped some food and started feeding the mentally ill man himself. After two morsels, the man started eating on his own.

We then crossed a crowded traffic signal and stopped the vehicle. On seeing Krishnan, four individuals moved slowly towards the Maruti van. They stood out in the crowd with their dirty, tattered clothes and unshaven beards.
They knew this Maruti van meant food. But they did not hurry, knowing that Krishnan would wait for them.
Krishnan served them under a tree and carried water for them. "They are not aware enough to get their own water," he explained.

And thus we went around the city till the akshaya patra was empty. Of course, it would be full again for dinner later in the day.
cid:3.1741858217@web80008.mail.sp1.yahoo.com

cid:3.1741858217@web80008.mail.sp1.yahoo.com

As we returned, a startling fact hit me. Not a single mentally challenged person had thanked Krishnan. They did not even smile or acknowledge him. Still Krishnan carried on in a world where most of us get offended if someone doesn't say thank you, sometimes even for doing our jobs.

The food costs Rs 8,000 a day, but that doesn't worry him. "I have donors for 22 days. The remaining days, I manage myself. I am sure I will get donors for that too, people who can afford it are generally generous, particularly when they know that their hard earned money is actually going to the poor. That is why I maintain my accounts correctly and scrupulously."
He then pulled out a bill from the cabinet and showed it to me. It was a bill for groceries he had bought seven years ago. "This bill has sentimental value. It is the first one after I started Akshaya."

The economic slowdown has resulted in a drop in the number of donors. Earlier, they sustained meals for 25 days.
Software giants Infosys and TCS were so impressed with his work that they donated three acres of land to him in Madurai . Krishnan hopes to build a home for his wards there. He has built the basement for a woman's block which will house 80 inmates, but work has currently halted due to a lack of funds.

This, however, is not the sum of his good deeds. Krishnan also performs the funerals of unclaimed bodies in Madurai . He collects the body, bathes it and gives it a decent burial or cremation as the need may be.

He gets calls, both from the municipal corporation and general hospital for the funerals.

He recalls with a little prompting how one day he saw a mentally ill man eating dry leaves. He rushed to the nearest restaurant and bought the man five idlis. The man ate voraciously, and then smiled at him. The smile made Krishnan want to do it again and again.

Krishnan has not married and wonders if anyone would want to marry a man who spends his days cooking food for others. He is firm that his life partner has to agree to this kind of life.

His parents were initially shocked, but are now very supportive of their son. They advise him about the cuisine and also about how he can streamline the process. One wonders why he left his job in a five star hotel to bury the dead and feed the mentally ill. To this he just smiles and says, "I like doing it."

Mr. Krishnan is doing this

** not for a political motive, because they can't vote

** not to convert them - their "religion" is irrelevant

** not in expectation of a return from them

then He would have fed you the way He feeds the birds.

A MOTIVATION

Jan 5, '10 4:23 AM
for everyone

A Motivation we all need to learn from!!!!

Whatever your cross,

Whatever your pain,

There will always be sunshine,

After the rain...

Perhaps you may stumble,

Perhaps even fall,

But God's always ready,

To answer your call...

He knows every heartache,

Sees every tear,

A word from His lips,

Can calm every fear...

Your sorrows may linger,

Throughout the night,

But suddenly vanish,

In dawn's early light....

The Savior is waiting,

Somewhere above,

To give you His grace,

And send you His love...

Whatever your cross,

Whatever your pain,

"God always sends rainbows...

After the rain..."

To get out of difficulty, one must usually go through it!

SOME THING TO PONDER

Jan 4, '10 1:35 PM
for everyone

Lessons in Logic

If your father is a poor man,
it is your fate but,
if your father-in-law is a poor man,
it's your stupidity.

........................................................................................

I was born intelligent -
education ruined me.

.........................................................................................

Practice makes perfect.....
But nobody's perfect.......
so why practice?

........................................................................................

If it's true that we are here to help others,
then what exactly are the others here for?

........................................................................................

Since light travels faster than sound,
people appear bright until you hear them speak.

........................................................................................

How come "abbreviated" is such a long word?

........................................................................................

Money is not everything..
There's Mastercard & Visa.

........................................................................................

One should love animals.
They are so tasty.

........................................................................................

Behind every successful man, there is a woman
And behind every unsuccessful man, there are two.

........................................................................................

Every man should marry.
After all, happiness is not the only thing in
life.

.........................................................................................

The wise never marry.
and when they marry they become otherwise.

.........................................................................................

Success is a relative term.
It brings so many relatives.

........................................................................................

Never put off the work till tomorrow
what you can put off today.

........................................................................................

"Your future depends on your dreams"
So go to sleep

........................................................................................

There should be a better way to start a day
Than waking up every morning

........................................................................................

"Hard work never killed anybody"
But why take the risk

.........................................................................................

"Work fascinates me"
I can look at it for hours

.........................................................................................

God made relatives;
Thank God we can choose our friends.

........................................................................................

The more you learn, the more you know,
The more you know, the more you forget
The more you forget, the less you know
So... why learn.

............................................................................................

A bus station is where a bus stops.

A train station is where a train stops.

On my desk, I have a work station....
what more can I say........
