Here is a story firstly: A king of Nepal by name Bhadraka had gone out on shikar(hunting). On his way a bird of omen, perched on the branch of a tree, uttered some significant sounds. On hearing them, the king asked a member of his party who was conversant with the language of birds: "What does the bird say?" The interpreter replied: "King! What the bird says does not concern you. It says that a farmer who is going uphill for cutting grass for his cattle will die, bitten by a snake." Just as he had uttered these words, the party saw a farmer proceeding towards a nearby hillock, carrying a scythe. On seeing him, the interpreter observed: "I think this is the farmer referred to by the bird. Your Majesty may be sure that he will die as foretold." Out of curiosity the hunting party stayed in the vicinity, waiting for the farmer to return. They saw the farmer's silhouette, after some time, coming down the slopes of the hill carrying a bundle of g...

My sister is just back from USA. Needless to say, she bought lots of chocolates. Of all, i loved KISSES. These chocolates are awesome. Just pure chocolate, exactly the way i love eat chocolates. I love them. Many chocolates are mixed and flavored with nuts, dry fruits etc etc. I feel chocolate has to be a pure cacao just lots of cacao and nothing else. Kisses are exactly the same and so i love it. I find Cadbury Silk and Bournville are very near to my taste. Just 9$ for one big party bag!!! This party bag has 3 flavours Milk Chocolate, Special dark and Caramel. Oh my god! The Special dark flavour are just the way i like it....slightly bitter but still the best form of chocolate. And btw, http://www.thestoryofchocolate.com/ has a very good info about the chocolate. May be you like it.

I was sure that the account has required balance in it and so i requested the attendant to try one more time. But the transaction was declined again. I paid the bill using HDFC card and left. Soon after a travelling a kilometer, i received a transaction alert on my mobile from citi bank that Rs.400 was debited from my savings account at the fuel station. I rushed back to the fuel station and explained them abt the msg. The head of the attendants stood out and say " Sir! this is a general happening they see day to day and its absolutely nothing to worry. Once you we settle the account of the swipe machine by EOD i.e. 12AM for the day, the amounts will be reverted back to the respective account. We see these things daily. If you dont get money by tomorrow morning, we will any how be here and we will pay you back by cash ". Upon my insistance, he generated a receipt of the succes...
