True story of Taj mahal..(I am not sure if this is authentic, but it seems..)
Mood: None | Date: 06.16.06 | Views: 90 | Comments: 0
The Moghul Emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal built the Taj Mahal. It was built in 22 years (1631 to 1653) by 20,000 artisans brought to India from all over the world!. Many people believe Ustad Isa of Iran designed it." This is what your guide probably told you if you ever visited the Taj Mahal. This is the same story I read in my history book as a student.
 

NOW READ THIS.......
No one has ! ever challenged it except Prof. P. N. Oak, who believes the whole world has been duped. In his book Taj Mahal: The True Story, Oak says the Taj Mahal is not Queen Mumtaz's tomb but an ancient Hindu temple palace of Lord Shiva (then known as Tejo Mahalaya). In the course of his research Oak discovered that the Shiva temple palace was usurped by Shah Jahan from then Maharaja of Jaipur, Jai Singh. In his own court chronicle, Badshahnama, Shah Jahan admits that an exceptionally beautiful grand mansion in Agra was taken from Jai SIngh for Mumtaz's burial. The ex-Maharaja of Jaipur still retains in his secret collection two orders from Shah Jahan for surrendering the Taj building.
Using captured temples and mansions, as a burial place ! for dead courtiers and royalty was a common practice among Muslim rulers. For example, Humayun, Akbar, Etmud-ud-Daula and Safdarjung are all buried in such mansions. Oak's inquiries began with the name of Taj Mahal. He says the term "Mahal" has never been used for a building in any Muslim countries from Afghanisthan to Algeria. "The unusual explanation that the term Taj Mahal derives from Mumtaz Mahal was illogical in atleast two respects.
 
Firstly, her name was never Mumtaz Mahal but Mumtaz-ul-Zamani," he writes. Secondly, one cannot omit the first three letters 'Mum' from a woman's name to derive the remainder as the name for the building."Taj Mahal, he claims, is a corrupt version of Tejo Mahalaya, or Lord Shiva's Palace.
Oak also says the love story of Mumtaz and Shah Jahan is a fairy tale created by court sycophants, blundering historians and sloppy archaeologists. Not a single royal chronicle of Shah Jahan's time corroborates the love story. Furthermore, Oak cites several documents suggesting the Taj Mahal predates Shah Jahan's era, and was a temple dedicated to Shiva, worshipped by Rajputs of Agra city.
For example, Prof. Marvin Miller of New York took a few samples from the riverside doorway of the Taj. Carbon dating tests revealed that the door was 300 years older than Shah Jahan. European traveler Johan Albert Mandelslo,who visited Agra in 1638 (only seven years after Mumtaz's death), describes the life of the city in his memoirs. But he makes no reference to the Taj Mahal being built. The writings of Peter Mundy, an English visitor to Agra within a year of Mumtaz's death, also suggest the Taj was a noteworthy building well before Shah Jahan's time. Prof. Oak points out a number of design and architectural inconsistencies that support the belief of the Taj Mahal being a typical Hindu temple rather than a mausoleum.Many rooms in the Taj Mahal have remained sealed since Shah Jahan's time and are still inaccessible to the public. Oak asserts they contain a headless statue of Lord Shiva and other objects commonly used for worship rituals in Hindu temples.
 
Fearing political backlash, Indira Gandhi's government tried to have Prof. Oak's book withdrawn from the bookstores, and threatened the Indian publisher! ; of the first edition dire consequences. There is only one way to discredit or validate Oak's research. The current government should open the sealed rooms of the Taj Mahal under U.N. supervision, and let international experts investigate.

Ant & the Grasshopper
Mood: None | Date: 06.16.06 | Views: 101 | Comments: 0

Ant and the Grasshopper




CLASSIC VERSION...



The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.



The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.



Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.
------------------------------------------------------------------------



MODERN VERSION...



The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.



Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.



BBC, CNN, NDTV show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.



The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?



Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house.



Amnesty International and Koffi Annan criticizes the Government for not upholding the fundamental rights of the grasshopper.



The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the grasshopper.



Opposition MP's stage a walkout.



Left parties call for "Bharat Bandh" in West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.



Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the Prevention of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act [POTAGA]" , with effect from the beginning of ! the winter.



The ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government and handed over to the grasshopper in a ceremony covered by BBC,CNN and NDTV.



Arundhati Roy calls it "a triumph of justice".



Koffi Annan invites the grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly.

The boots are too tight
Mood: None | Date: 06.16.06 | Views: 103 | Comments: 0
If you've ever dressed a child you will love this story.

Did you hear about the Texas teacher who was helping one of her
kindergarten
students put on his cowboy boots?

He asked for help and the teacher could see why.  Even with her pulling
and
him pushing, the little boots still didn't want to go on.  Finally,
when the
second boot was on, she had worked up a sweat. She almost cried when
the
little boy said, "Teacher, they're on the wrong feet."

She looked and sure enough, they were.  It wasn't any easier pulling 
the
boots off than it was putting them on.  She managed to keep her cool as
together they worked to get the boots back on, this time on the right
feet.

He then announced, "These aren't my boots."

She bit her tongue rather than get right in his face and scream, "Why
didn't
you say so?" like she wanted to.  And once again she struggled  to help
him
pull the ill-fitting boots off his little feet.  No sooner than they
got the
boots off he said, "They're my brother's boots.  My Mom made me wear
'em."

Now she didn't know if she should laugh or cry, but she mustered up the
grace and courage she had left to wrestle the boots on his feet again.

Helping him into his coat, she asked, "Now, where are your mittens?"

He said, "I stuffed 'em in the toes of my boots"

Her trial starts next month.

Mush & Bush
Mood: None | Date: 06.16.06 | Views: 59 | Comments: 0
Once General Mushsharaf was taking George W. Bush around Islamabad to
show
how he had utilized the US funds. Along the route, the US Prez saw
several
people defecating on the roadside. Feeling very disturbed, he said to
Mushsharaf, "I'll give you more aid so that you can provide some
toilets to
these people". Mushsharaf felt very insulted, but he silently vowed
that
he'll insult Bush during his next visit to the US.

After some months, Mushsharaf visited US. One evening, Bush was taking
Mushsharaf on sight seeing. While returning, in the twilight, they saw
a
person peeing outside the Pakistani Embassy. Mushsharaf jumped in
excitement
on seeing this, after all he had got an opportunity to embarrass Bush.
He
shouted "See how this person is peeing on the roadside, that to outside
our
Embassy!" Feeling very embarrassed and also disgusted, Bush ordered the
FBI
sleuths to shoot dead that person.

Next day the newspaper headlines read " PAKISTANI AMBASSADOR SHOT DEAD
OUTSIDE EMBASSY"

been promoted, no transfer, no salary increase no commendation and that the Company is not doing any thing about it. So he decided to walk up to his HR Manager one morning and after exchanging greetings, he told his HR Manager his observation.The boss looked at him, laughed and asked him to sit down saying; 
       
       Myfriend, you have not worked here for even one day. 
       The man was surprised to hear this, but the manager went on to explain.

Wolves
Mood: None | Date: 06.16.06 | Views: 52 | Comments: 0
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes
on
inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves"
inside
us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret,
greed,
arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false
pride,
superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope,
serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth,
compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his
grandfather:
"Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

This is reminding you to internalize the story above and feed the
healthy
side of you.
