How bell has been tied around the neck of the cat?

 The question of tieing a bell around the neck of the cat was the question which was haunting the mice.


Though it was the need of the hour, mice were unable to figure out how to do it and who is going to do it?



But not any more !!!



This is the 21st century. Mice have been updated to technology. The new generation of mice are of scientific mind.



Mice held a meeting to discuss how to tie the bell around the neck of the cat. 


The work is life threatening. Mice have to plan carefully. 



After lots of discussion, mice have come up with a plan. 


The owner of the house is sleep deprived. Mice know this as owner would be awake throughout the night. 


Because of his sleeping pattern, mice were not able to do many things which they could have done during night. 


The plan mice are going to execute, would be the solution to centuries old question  of tieing the bell to cat. 



Owner consulted the doctor for his sleep deprivation problem and as advised by the doctor, now he is taking sleeping pills. 


 

21st century mice understood that owner is now taking sleeping pills. They have noted down the place where owner is keeping his tablets. 


One fine day, young mice were successful in getting one sleeping pill from the place where the medicines were kept. 



Mice directly came into kitchen. There they spotted the bowl full of milk which was kept for the cat to drink. 




Without hesitating, mice mixed the sleeping pill with milk. Cat came and as he was thirsty, drank the entire bowl of milk. 



Soon cat fell asleep. Mice without any problem, tied a small bell around its neck. 



As soon as the cat was awakened, it started roaming around. It was unaware that Bell has been tied around its neck. 



Wherever it is going, it was hearing the sound of bell. It is still searching for the source of sound. 



Meanwhile mice are happy that finally they have tied the bell around the neck of the cat.

Aniruddha and gully cricket

 My nephew Aniruddha had come to spend his summer holiday.


Aniruddha is very fond of cricket. 


One day evening, he went to play ground. 


When he returned, he was fully covered with dust and sweat. 


After taking bath, he started telling me what happened in the playground. 


Aniruddha along with his 5 friends, planned to play cricket, gully cricket.


They made 2 teams of 3 people each in the team !!!!


Aniruddha 's opponent team had scored 26 runs in 3 overs !!!


Now target is 27 runs to score in 3 overs. 


Looks an easy target of 9 runs per over !!!


Aniruddha' s team started batting.


Because of tight bowling of opponent team, Aniruddha 's team could score only 1 run in the first over.


2 runs in the second over !!!


More to that, Aniruddha' s team had lost the openers !!!


One is clean bowled and the other one was run out !!!


Now score is 3 for 2 wickets !!!


Last over of the match and last batsman !!!


24 runs required in last 6 balls. 


Aniruddha being the last batsman, was very tensed and nervous !!!


But Aniruddha was able to hit boundaries in the last 5 balls. 


He didn't hit sixes  as he is scared of getting caught !!! 


Now score is 20 runs for 2 wickets. 


Only Aniruddha is batting because he is the only player left in his team !!!


Last ball of the match and a boundary is a must to win the match !!!!


Aniruddha gathered all of his strength and has hit the ball.


Alas !!!  The ball didn't go to boundary !!!


It was fielded by a fielder. 


No runs in the last ball !!!


Aniruddha's team lost by 4 runs  !!!


I felt really bad.  The pain of losing the about to win the match is clearly showing on Aniruddha 's face.


But I must say this gully cricket match is equally thrilling as an IPL match !!!

Greedy woman

 One day,  a woman came to Akbar 's court with a man.


Pointing at the man, woman said This man has snatched all my money.


Everyone looked at man. He was shocked and confused. He said he had come to meet the king. He does not know who she is?



Every thing is looking complicated.


Birbal asked the lady how much she has lost ?


She said 6,000 gold coins.


Birbal looked at her. She didn't look like a woman carrying such a heavy amount of money with her.


Birbal gave the money to her and asked the man to follow him. 


Man was pleading not guilty. 


Birbal once again asked the man to snatch the bag of money from the lady. 


Man tried to snatch but the lady caught him by his collar and reached the court again to complain.



That time Birbal asked the lady if this man could not snatch the bag from you now, how we can believe he had snatched the bag earlier ?



Lady accepted her lies and asked for forgiveness..

Demon Shankhachuda

 Dambha was a demon who was also a great devotee of God Vishnu.


Dambha had no son. Upon the advice of his guru, Shukracharya, he started doing a great penance seeking for a son.


God Vishnu blessed Dambha with an invincible son who will conquer the 3 worlds.


Likewise Dambha had a son, Shankhachuda. In his previous birth, Shankhachuda was Sudhama, friend of Shri Krishna.


Shankhachuda performed the penance to appease God Brahma.


Brahma granted him the boon of being invincible to all gods. He also gave him the divine amulet of Krishna, which will give success every where he go.


Shankhachuda was crowned the king of demons. He attacked heaven and made gods to flee the place. 


He married to a chaste lady, Tulasi.  A fierce battle happened between gods and demons for many years. 


A celestial voice was heard saying that as long as Shankhachuda wears the amulet and his wife maintains her chastity, he will remain invincible. 


God Vishnu  disguised himself as a poor man and got amulet as alms. God Vishnu disguised himself as Shankhachuda and broke down the chastity of his wife. 


As soon as these 2 things happened,  God Shiva beheaded Shankhachuda in battle ground.

What causes itching when we sweat ??

 Excessive sweating may happen  because of scorching heat and humidity.


Sweating alone is not a problem. But it causes rashes and irritation.


Scratching may provide temporary relief. But it irritates the skin, making  itching worse.


Sweat rash is called miliaria..



Sweat trapped in skin is responsible for heat rashes.


Heat rashes go away when the skin cools down.


When the sweat is trapped in skin instead of evaporating,  and comes to the contact of bacteria then it causes inflammation.


In hot weather, we must dress up in loose and light weight clothing.  We must avoid excessive physical activities.

Someone need to stop the show ...

 I am talking about   Khatron key khiladi program. 


Yesterday's episode was full of horrific stunts.


It's definitely not adventurous for sure .


First stunt used contestant as a stone in a huge caterpillar and dropped him into water.


Its not as easy as it sounds.


Just think of the force with which the contestant is going to be thrown into water .


What would be his mental health and physical condition ??


It just not stop here..  Then he has to  swim and catch jet scooter and climb on it .


Standing on moving jet scooter , he has to catch the foot board of moving helicopter which comes near him.


The first contestant got mentally unstable and didn't know where is he ??


Next stunt was even more horrible .


I couldn't watch it properly . But contestant took 3 attempts and failed in all of them.


Later he was too exhausted and needed medical care.


The channel abruptly stopped telecasting the program 15 minutes earlier. 


Do we  need such program in the name of adventure  ??

Khatron ke khiladi semi-final

 Yesterday I was watching Khatron ke khiladi program on mtv.


Now it is the semi-final time.


In that program , host ask the contestants to do some adventuring stunts .


Host is Rohit Shetty .


The stunts are not easy . By watching the given stunts , I always thought that a common man can not do .


As host himself is a film director , he is giving the stunts of fighter men standard.


Examples are jumping from moving cars , taking out hidden coins from wild animals den etc.


Though the stunts are spine chilling , I wonder about the mental health of contestants.


When doing stunts  , some contestants got physically injured.


But on tv , they don't show all those.


In yesterday's  episode  , two contestants backed out from doing the stunts .


As the program is reaching the semi-final level , the stunts are getting tougher .


I wonder what next  ???

Aniruddha had just finished his afternoon nap.


He came to know that I am watching Chota Bheem cartoon on TV without my mother's knowledge.


 He rushed to kitchen and complained to my mother,

As my mother knows that I am not going to change my habit, she said to Aniruddha,


She is not going to change  !!!


Aniruddha was shocked by the reaction of my mother  !!!!


Silently Aniruddha came and joined me to watch Chota Bheem !!!!
