  • FAITH IN GOD

    HAVE STAUNCH FAITH IN GOD

    Every day an old lady, a staunch theist, came to the portico and shouted on the top of her voice “Praise the Lord”. Her neighbor, an atheist (non-believer in God) shouted back “there is no Lord” This exchange of words went on for some time. One day the lady shouted from her portico “Praise the Lord! I want some groceries!” The neighbor shouted back as usual “There is no Lord”. The next day the lady found a bag full of groceries. Overwhelmed with joy, she shouted in ecstasy “Praise the Lord! you have sent me the groceries.” Suddenly, the neighbor jumped out of the bushes and shouted that it was me who kept the groceries at your doorstep. There is no Lord. The lady retorted “Oh! Lord you sent me groceries and made this devil pay for it.”

  • COMMUNICATION GAP

    The communication gap can lead to serious misconceptions.

    I am going to share a funny anecdote on COMMUNICATION GAP

    One day a little guy came to his dad and asked him what is sex. The father was thrilled, shocked, flummoxed, flabbergasted and took him to a private room and told him all about sex with the help of the biology book: Childbirth, reproduction, Adam and Eve story for about half an hour. Finally, the little boy wanted to know where to write all this because a small column is provided. Then the little boy showed his dad the Cricket registration form. The father was shocked beyond words. There was a tremendous communication gap between the dad and the child. Both the transmitter, the boy and the receiver, the dad were at fault. The child should have at least bothered to show the cricket registration form and asked his dad what to write in this column under sex and the dad as a receiver on his part should have checked once or twice what on earth made the boy ask him about sex. If the dad would have checked it he need not have spent his precious half an hour explaining all about Biology, reproduction, Adam and Eve story.

    Dear Listeners,

    Communication gaps can lead to serious misconceptions.

    How do you like the story?
