Good, if we follow...
GOD MAKES THE DRINK, NOT THE
CUPS
One cold evening late in December, a group of
alumni who were well established in their careers, got together to visit their
old professor. After arriving at his residence, each began to boast of their
individual successes, and before long old rivalries began to surface. Their only
common thread seemed to be bitter complaints about the stresses each of them
experienced in their workplaces and in their daily lives.
The professor listened quietly, then offered
his guests a cup of hot chocolate. He went to the kitchen and returned with a
large container and an assortment of cups, porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal;
some plain looking, some expensive, some quite exquisite, telling them to help
themselves to the hot chocolate.
When all of his former students had a cup of
the chocolate in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking
expensive cups were quickly taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.
While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the
source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no
quality to the hot chocolate. In most cases the cup is just more expensive and
in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was the
warm drink, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best, most attractive
cup...and then you began eyeing and envying one another's cups."
"Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate,
the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to
hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change
the quality of Life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we
fail to enjoy the warm drink God has provided us. GOD MAKES THE DRINK, NOT THE
CUPS.
Enjoy your hot chocolate! And remember: The
happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of
everything."

Travel...My way
Traveling to Mcleodganj was an amazing experience. This is a wonderful place in the vicinity of The Himalayas and is the part of Himachal Pradesh, India. The nearest airport to the traveller is at Dharmshala in Kangra District. The air fare from Mumbai may cost one around Rs 7,000/- to Rs 8,000/- per person.
By road it can be reached from Pathankot/Chakki Bank. Both the stations are well conected to other major cities by rail.
Do not forget to visit the temples and tea garden on the way...these are priceless.
