Touching One .......................

Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge. The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, "Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river. " The little girl said, "No, Dad. You hold my hand. " "What's the difference?" Asked the puzzled father. "There's a big difference, " replied the little girl. "If I hold your hand and something happens to me,chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go. " In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond. "So hold the hand of the person whom you love rather than expecting them to hold urs... this story tells many things... u just need to understand the meaning rest depends on u "

Are you afraid of the dark!!! -Sidney Sheldon

I have just finished reading this book ............... The book starts with the cops who find the dead bodies of various scientists. It tells us briefly about the lives of the two widows when they were married rather happily married. One widow being a high profile model the other being a girl next door kind of a person. This book is a story of the wives of two good scientist who escape death several times. The two lose their husband as they were murdered for being involved in a very high profile undercover project. The book describes how the two widows decide to find out the person involved in murdering their husband and in the process how do they escape death several times and finally whether did they die or not ? is a question which will be answered only after reading the book. ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK? is a pleasant and easy read. While the story has its flaws, it certainly held my interest and kept me reading to the very end.

No Limits ............

While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked stone & scratched lines on the side of the car. In anger, the man took the child's hand & hit it many times, not realizing he was using a wrench. At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple fractures. When the child say his father.... with painful eyes he asked "Dad when will my fingers grow back?" Man was so hurt and speechless. He went back to car and kicked it a lot of times. Devastated by his own actions...... sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches, child had written "LOVE YOU DAD". The next day that man committed suicide. . . Anger and Love has no limits, so let the river of life flow in Limits so that this fresh water stream is never scattered.
