Before I start my story let me brief out the character . My friend Zerach yes the name is somewhat different but that's not my fault, he is my batch mate at present and living alone in a rented house, for food he is dependent on a Mess that supplies food to him and sometimes restaurants are other options, to get more near to character let me write it as if I am Zerach
Like all my batchmates these days I am working hard to get finest of my last sem project work, so these days I work late night not the late night in fact I sleep in morning time around 6 am. Last night also I worked hard and slept at around 5:30 I wake up at 12 at noon and switched on my computer to get any news. Ohh one bad news was there Legendary actor of south indian film industry Dr Raj Kumar passed away around 10 in morning that was very sad news as I know that south indians are simply Crazy for him, they are ready to do anything for him
well after some refresh in my bathroom I went out to have a cup of coffee but the shop was closed, I looked for another one but that was also closed after that it was understood that I should remain without coffee today, any how my Lunch will come at 2, yes that the time my mess owner sends his worker to parcel tiffin to my doorsteps, I got back to my system to do some changes in the work done last night.. Time passed away in front of monitor, than I felt hungary I checked the time it was 3. I thought why tiffin hasn't came yet is that because of Raj Kumar no no mess owner is from north India has to do nothing with Raj Kumar, I called him up, and he told that somepeople have made him to close his mess, continued he informed me that no buses are running so that he can deliver food. Now it was another bad news what shall I do nothing I have no other option to search for some snacks but in room nothing has left I consumed all that last night, so I stepped out in search of something get eat but after half-hour walk of locality I got that every thing is closed all Karnataka flags were down to half of their poles height and every where you can find the pictures and banners of sir Raj Kumar well I returned back to room with a hope that in evening I will get something, at 6:30 my friend Fatso who live here with his family called me and told that everything will remain closed for somedays and he told that some fans of Late Sri RK have forcefully closed all offices and IT companies no public transport buses are running as they are throwing stones on them well situation is getting bad so its not good to go out I called up my another friend and asked him about his situation,he told that at night also food will not come everything small and big shops will remain close, now I was afraid from where I will get food, suddenly I got attracted to a baby crying I saw outside my window a neighboring aunty was holding his 1 yr old baby and was like searching for someone . She also saw me and called me, I walked to her and she asked me to bring some milk for her baby now this was real test for me she told me to look for milk at some place I came back looked my room and went to find milk for baby, but all that was figure I searched my best nowhere any shop was open I came back with a sorry face now i was hungary i want food i called mess owner if he will deliver food or not, and as per the situation he refused, now i have left with only one option Fatso i was just planning to call him he called me before that and asked me to come to his home for dinner well that was nice but hoto go there Buses were not running and walking upto 5Km will not be possible as i had only water since morning,themn i thought to ask for bike from my house owner he was ready but another a problem, The fuel was not sufficient for the trip itold him that i will get it from any fuel pump, but he added to my knowledge that fuel pumps are also closed now i have no other option .....
Hey ! that was Zerach the poor guy you people might be intrested to know what happenend next well he slept quitly on his bed listening to his favorite channel on Yahoo, he told me about the child cry also which was continously disturbing him at the night but what can done he was there on his bed waiting for another Sunrise with a hope that the coffee shop next street will open

An Interesting Conversation
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new students to stand and.....
Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes.
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?
Student is silent.
Prof: You can't answer, can you?Let's start again, young fellow. Is God good?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Is Shaitan good?
Student: No.
Prof: Where does Shaitan come from?
Student: From...God...
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?Student: Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?
Student does not answer.
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
Student has no answer.
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes Faith. And that is the problem science has.
(Now the student said can I ask something to you Professor.)
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student: No sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something.You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light... But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class is in uproar.)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it sir... The link between man & god is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving & alive. .
WANT TO KNOW WHO THAT STUDENT WAS?
This is a true story, and the student was none other than Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, President of India.

5 gold's in Commonwealth
Yesterday I got an SMS on mobile it reads as
"What kind of country is this ? A man Samresh jung who has won 5 gold medals in Shooting event of Commonwealth games and adjudged best sportsman in CWG'06. There was no photo of him, no headlines about him in newspapers other than people like Aishwarya and Salman Khan and bollywood stars who topped all headlines with their photos. Is this the respect the media shows to the Sports person who has won 5 golds for India"
I would like have your comments on the the SMS according to me only newspapers of Himachal have some headlines regarding that
another sportsman from Hamirpur Distt of Himachal has bagged some medals I got some news from my friends from Hamirpur, I got news that Himachal govt. has announced some cash reward to the medal winners but still I haven't seen any photographs of these two sportsmen
Please do take some time to give your views about that !!!
