An IT guy from India went to the US, and like most of his friends, he wanted to enjoy *Pizza* at a nice restaurant . . . He ordered a *9-inch Pizza*. After a while, the waiter brought *two 5-inch pizzas* And said, the 9-inch pizza was *_not_* available and he was giving him *two 5-inches Pizzas* instead, and that he was getting 1 inch more for free! Our guy politely requested the waiter to put him through to the restaurant owner. The Indian gave him the mathematical formula to calculate the area of a circle. Circle Area = *π r²* where *π = 3.1415926*, *r* is the *radius* of the circle. So, a *9-inch circle area* = *63.62 sq.in.* while a *5-inch circle area* is *19.63 sq.in.* The *two 5-inch circle areas* add up to *39.26 sq.in*. Our guy said that even if he gave three pizzas, he'd still lose-out. "How can you say you are giving me an extra inch for free?" The owner was speechless. He finally gave him *4 pizzas*. Pl advise your children to take their Maths seriously!

 Read somewhere and felt like sharing. A must read for females especially 👍 A few years ago, my friend had just crossed age 50.  Just about 8 days later she was struck with an ailment ... And she died swiftly. In the group we received a condolence message  that  ..."Sad .. she is no more with us"...  *RIP* 🙏 Two months later I called her husband. A thought crossed my mind ..he must be devastated as he had a travelling job. Till her death she would oversee everything.. home.. education of their children... Taking care of the aged in-laws.. their sickness.. managing relatives..   _*everything,  everything, everything*_  She would express at times.." my house needs my time, .. my hubby cant even make coffee tea, my family needs me for everything, but no one cares or appreciates the efforts  i put in. I feel they all take me for granted ". I called her husband to see if the family needed any support, as, i felt her  hubby must be feel...

 Jamshedji Nusserwanji Tata was once, travelling to Germany. As he stood there, at the door of his First Class Cabin in the Steam-liner, he noticed a lot of activity on the lower decks of the Ship. On enquiring, he learnt that a great Indian Saint Shri Swami Vivekananda was on board the same ship. Out of genuine respect and curiosity J.N. Tata decided to pay a visit to the great saint. Swami Vivekananda had of-course heard about the respected industrialist. As the conversation grew J.N. Tata explained that he was on his way to Germany. "I have with me sacks of soil : From various parts of India. I am taking these samples of soil to Germany. I wish to know if Iron can be extracted profitably from any of these districts." said J.N. Tata to the Saint. To which Swami Vivekananda replied, "Well, Sir, Even if these sacks contain Iron-rich soil, do you honestly believe that the Germans will tell you the TRUTH??? You must understand that No / NONE of the European Nations wish to...

 ஒரு சாது மரத்தடியில் அமர்ந்திருந்தார்.  ஒரு பறவை அவரிடம் சென்று பேசியது.   ‘ஐயா! உலகை சுற்றிப் பார்க்க ஆசைப்படுகிறேன்.  முதலில் ஆயிரம் காத தூரம் கடலில் பறந்து அழகான ஒரு தீவை பார்க்க விரும்புகிறேன்', என்றது. ‘பறவையே!  உன்னால் அவ்வளவு தூரம் கடலின் மேல் பறக்க முடியுமா?  முயற்சிப்பதில் தவறில்லை.  ஒரு விஷயத்தை நினைவில் வைத்துக் கொள்.   பிரயாணத்தின் போது முதல் முறையாக உனக்கு சோர்வு ஏற்படும் போது  உடனடியாக புறப்பட்ட இடத்திற்கே திரும்பி விடு', என்றார் சாது. தலையசைத்து விட்டு பறந்தது பறவை.  பக்கத்தில் இருந்த சீடனிடம் பேசினார் சாது. ‘சீடனே!  முதல் முறை சோர்வடையும் போது பாதி பலத்தை இழந்துவிட்டோம் என்பதை புரிந்துகொள்ள வேண்டும்.  அப்போது திரும்பினால் மட்டுமே பத்திரமாக கரைக்குத் திரும்ப முடியும்', என்றார் சாது.          ஒரு வாரத்திற்குப் பிறகு பறவை திரும்ப வந்தது. ‘ஐயா!  கடலில் இருநூறு காத தூரத்தை அடைந்தவுடன், சோர்வடைந்தேன்.   நீங்கள் சொன்ன படி உடனே திரும்பிவிட்டேன். பயணத்தை தொடர்ந்திரு...
